Hello

I am trying to create a table via VBA. It works when I am on the worksheet that I want the table to be on, but this worksheet will be hidden so I need it to work by allowing me to identify the worksheet. I cannot figure out why I am getting a run-time error "the worksheet range for the table data must be on the same sheet as the table being created". Below code works when I am on the page of "chart_list" but I not if I am on another worksheet.

Code:
Sub make_table()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim lrow As Long
Dim lcol As Long
Dim rng As range
 
 
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Chart_List")
 
lrow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
lcol = ws.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
ws.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(lrow, lcol)), , xlYes).Name = "Chart_List"
 
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Untested but maybe this:

Code:
Sub make_table()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim lrow As Long
Dim lcol As Long
Dim rng As Range
 
 
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Chart_List")
With ws
lrow = .Cells(.Rows.count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
lcol = .Cells(1, .Columns.count).End(xlToLeft).Column
.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(lrow, lcol)), , xlYes).Name = "Chart_List"
End With
End Sub

I figured out another way to do this. I already reference number of rows of data for another purpose on another worksheet so I referenced it here and used the range value.

Code:
Sub make_table()
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim ws2 as worksheet
Dim r_long As range
 
 
Set ws1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Chart_List")
Set ws2=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Export")

R_Long=ws2.range("C8:C8")
 
ws.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, ws1.range("A$1:$R$"& R_Long), , xlYes).Name = "Chart_List"
 
 End Sub
