Hi All,

I'm relatively new to creating macros but have been working on the attached code for some time, unfortunately it ends with an error which i haven't been able to eliminate. The problem line is highlighted in red text. Any help on the associated error would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Excel Facts

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
What is the value in rFoundCell.Offset(0, 1)?

I'm not sure whats going on to be honest, youre setting alot stuff equal to alot of other stuff, I saw you set rFoundCell twice so make sure you are expecting it to pull the right one and not the other one, But yeah sorry idk hard to tell with so much code and no sheet to match it with.

What is the value in rFoundCell.Offset(0, 1)?

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your prompt response. I should have provided further information in regard to what i am trying to achieve with the macro. The aim of the macro is to allow assay data received by a laboratory to be uploaded in a consistent format to our database. The assay laboratory data is often reported with elements in different column order which can be time consuming to manually re-organise the table. The macro uses a lookup table with defined column order and arranges the assay data to that defined column ordering. In regards to you question the macro looks for a particular column name in the lookup and then at the data in the assay report and copies the assay value when present. If the assay data for an element is missing then then the macro will jump to the next element in the lookup table.

The code has been edited from a similar macro from another laboratory, and i don't fully understand all the code etc.

Many Thanks

Actually what I was after is what is the value of rFoundCell.Offset(0, 1) when it errors.
Put the line in red below in the position shown and run the macro again, what does the message box show?

Code:
Set rCopy = Worksheets(RawData).Columns(lCount)
[COLOR="#FF0000"]MsgBox rFoundCell.Offset(0, 1).Value[/COLOR]
rCopy.Copy
Set rDestination = Worksheets(OutPutData).Columns(rFoundCell.Offset(0, 1).Value)

Also what does the error message state?

Hi Simon,

The Visual Basic error is "13" type mismatch. Which may be a clue to the problem, the data contains numerical values and characters for below detection limit.

The code you provided in red has been run and generates numerical errors 1,2,3,4,8,5,6,7,9,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,48,30 etc i'm not entirely sure what the errors mean are they referring to columns or rows etc?
Why would they be partly out of order?

Many Thanks

Hi Simon,
I should also mention that the macro effectively works despite the error message, the data is re-arranged in the correct order. Unfortunately i have another macro that i wish to run to convert the below detection limit values. Unfortunately i cant combine the two macros due to the error message being generated.

Many Thanks

Please do not quote entire posts (especially long ones), as it just clutters up the thread & makes it harder to follow.
Thanks
