Good day,

Having trouble making a work project to work. Keep getting Error 13 Type mismatch for Application. Evaluate.

VBA Code:
If Application.Evaluate(FC.Formula1) Then
ActiveCondition = Ndx

FC.Formula1 = AND($C8<>"";ISBLANK($AI8))

If I change the conditional formating to a single logic test the code seems to work. But I need this specific formula.

Whole code below:

VBA Code:
Function ActiveCondition(Rng As Range) As Integer
    Dim Ndx As Long
    Dim FC As FormatCondition
    Dim Temp As Variant
    Dim Temp2 As Variant
    If Rng.FormatConditions.Count = 0 Then
        ActiveCondition = 0
    Else
        For Ndx = 1 To Rng.FormatConditions.Count
            Set FC = Rng.FormatConditions(Ndx)
            Select Case FC.Type
                Case xlCellValue
                Select Case FC.Operator
                    Case xlBetween
                        Temp = GetStrippedValue(FC.Formula1)
                        Temp2 = GetStrippedValue(FC.Formula2)
                        If IsNumeric(Temp) Then
                           If CDbl(Rng.Value) >= CDbl(FC.Formula1) And _
                               CDbl(Rng.Value) <= CDbl(FC.Formula2) Then
                               ActiveCondition = Ndx
                               Exit Function
                           End If
                       Else
                          If Rng.Value >= Temp And _
                             Rng.Value <= Temp2 Then
                             ActiveCondition = Ndx
                             Exit Function
                          End If
                       End If
                    Case xlGreater
                        Temp = GetStrippedValue(FC.Formula1)
                        If IsNumeric(Temp) Then
                           If CDbl(Rng.Value) > CDbl(FC.Formula1) Then
                              ActiveCondition = Ndx
                              Exit Function
                           End If
                        Else
                           If Rng.Value > Temp Then

End Function

Why am I getting, "Type mismatch" for Application.Evaluate - this thread explains a similar problem, but I do not understand the answer. A clarification of the answer if it applies to my problem would be great (The thread is old did not want to reopen).

It looks like FC is a range. Is it a one cell range and have you considered Evaluate("=" & FC.Address(,,,True)) as an alternative.

Mike,

Just to clarify the whole code of line should look like this:

VBA Code:
If Application.Evaluate("=" & FC.Address(,,,True)) Then

Correct ?

If so, the error then is:

I am still a novice at VBA so please bear with me.

So FC is a format condition correct? When it breaks, what does FC.Formula1 return? Could you print it to the immediate window before it tries to execute it? I recall something about it not processing relative references, or something to that effect?

Yes it is a format condition. In regards to the relative references, you might be right, changing the conditional formatting to a single reference solves the problem. But like I already mentioned need the double reference. Or an alternative with the same results.

Why a ; in the formula?

Should it not read:
Code:
=AND($C8<>"",ISBLANK($AI8))

I'm trying to recreate it but I cannot produce the same error. Clutching at straws, but is your activesheet the same sheet that has the format condition? If not:
VBA Code:
FC.Parent.Parent.Evaluate(FC.Formula1)
