Hello
Really hope someone can help with a runtime error I am receiving on pretty complicated workbook.
Someone on here helped me create this but now I cant contact him so I am pretty stuck.

Debug shows the error on this section of the below code

I can provide more details if there is anyone who thinks they could help

Many thanks for looking

Strange thing is that it works at first.
I can add data then update but after about 3 times, that's when the error starts.
Is it possible for me to get the workbook to you to see?

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Thank you for offering to help and to anyone else who takes their time to look and help

Here is the workbook

The details of what the spec was and the help I received creating this are in the following thread.
CMOWLA was a great help and created most of this but unfortunately, he is now uncontactable :(

Massive thanks to anyone who can help

What are the steps to replicate the issue?
 
Upvote 0
IT happened when I removed a row of data. the C column is still producing the error but I have just tried a few times in the DT tab and it doesn't seem to be creating the error

:(

Apologies,, the pass is simply "aaa"

The password couldn't make any difference could it? Since I changed it from a m,moe secure one to aaa it seems I cant replicate the error on the other tabs
It was happening after about 3 clicks of the update button on all tabs

OK, so the problem occurred on first run, because of the >9 range. There are only 7 unique records in the list, so although num1 (which is "9") = num2, there are fewer items in the list than that value so the formula never gets populated.

I'd need to go through the rest of the code and your previous thread to figure out why the code is set up to apply a formula anyway - it may just be a case of skipping the formula in such cases.

Thank you for looking.
Could it just be changed to less than 9 i.e >3
not sure if that would mess up anything else.
Sorry to be so oblivious to this stuff

Basically the sheet has to score based on colour of cell
Gold = 5
Green= 3
Amber = 1
Red = 0
Each column has different criteria which you can see in the KEY
1638621603454.png

but some of the columns would count as x4, x2, or x5 which is what this formula was created for
=SUMPRODUCT(CFV(F6:P6),IF(D6="Bedroom",{4,4,4,0,0,0,0,0,5,2,1},{4,4,4,4,1,1,2,1,0,0,1}))
Different values for bedroom needed to be made so the above formula allows me to ,multiply each column by whatever I need and have bedroom seperated.

Another complication was that the NPS column (G) needed the top 4 scores to be gold next 3 to be green, next 2 amber and rest red.
That added another block of code

LEaderboard takes results from each sheet and orders them largest to smalles then seperates by department and presents side by side.

I have just tried on the DT tab and when removing rows 1 by 1 (columns C - P) the runtime error happens after I have 10 rows left
I updated after removing row 11 and the error didnt happen but when I tried to change one of the cells and then update, the runtime errer appeared. Debug was same line highlighted

Does that help ?

@RoryA I have just spotted something that relates to the >9 that you mentioned
The column which relates to NPS (G) is causing the issue because the code section that refers to >9 fails for a reason I cant see
If I make all records 100 which makes them all gold so all share top place, it fails but if I make them all different figures then the code runs again with no runtime error

I really don't know how to fix this but hopefully someone here will know easily :)

PLEase

Yes, as I mentioned, the problem is that the code doesn't bother creating a valid formula in the >9 case (because there are only 7 distinct values) but it does try to apply the invalid formula afterwards.

I've just waded through the thread you linked to, and it doesn't actually mention the code that is causing the problem, so wasn't much help to me.

Can you explain in words what is supposed to happen to that column? It looks like some sort of ranking system (4 top scores, next 3, next 2, then everything else), in which case it should be sufficient to just ignore a formula where there aren't enough valid scores.

HI

Thanks a lot for looking once more.
Yes, you are exactly right about the ranking of that column.
It wasn't mentioned in the original thread as it was added on later due to the NPS column having scores that were difficult to rank numerically as above and betweenY etc so we decided to just make the top 4 gold and so on.

This would be great if I could do something to ignore the error and it doesn't change the rankings.

HOw would I do this?


Thanks
