Greetings,

I am receiving a type mismatch error on the following line. Not sure why this is occurring.

Are there limitations on the properties that I can establish within the row and column values? For instance is "A+3" as a row value not acceptable when being compared with an integer variable alone "A".


Code:
If Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A + 1), "E").Value And Cells((A + 2), "E").Value And Cells((A + 3), "E").Value And Cells((A + 4), "E").Value And Cells((A + 5), "E").Value And Cells((A + 6), "E").Value And Cells((A + 7), "E").Value And Cells((A + 8), "E").Value And Cells((A + 9), "E").Value And Cells((A + 10), "E").Value And Cells((A - 1), "E").Value And Cells((A - 2), "E").Value And Cells((A - 3), "E").Value And Cells((A - 4), "E").Value And Cells((A - 5), "E").Value And Cells((A - 6), "E").Value And Cells((A - 7), "E").Value And Cells((A - 8), "E").Value And Cells((A - 9), "E").Value And Cells((A - 10), "E").Value Then

Thanks, SBF12345
 

Excel Facts

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Can you please explain exactly what you are trying to do here. Are you really trying to Cells(A, "E").Value against a concatenation of 20 cell values?

You will get a type mismatch if any of those 20 cells has text in it.

...and post your full code please.

the values in the column "E" are integer values. They exist within the framework of a moment to moment time series. I am trying to identify points within that random set of integers moments that are greater than moments within 10 moments before and after the test moment. This line exists within the script below...

Also, is there maybe a more concise way to write this line with the error?

Code:

Set TA = Workbooks("COMM_TREND.xls")
Set PA = Workbooks("COMM_PA.xls")








For Each ws In PA.Worksheets


A = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row


    Do Until A = 2
    
        'Does row contain a MAX prominent point?
        If Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A + 1), "E").Value And Cells((A + 2), "E").Value And Cells((A + 3), "E").Value And Cells((A + 4), "E").Value And Cells((A + 5), "E").Value And Cells((A + 6), "E").Value And Cells((A + 7), "E").Value And Cells((A + 8), "E").Value And Cells((A + 9), "E").Value And Cells((A + 10), "E").Value And Cells((A - 1), "E").Value And Cells((A - 2), "E").Value And Cells((A - 3), "E").Value And Cells((A - 4), "E").Value And Cells((A - 5), "E").Value And Cells((A - 6), "E").Value And Cells((A - 7), "E").Value And Cells((A - 8), "E").Value And Cells((A - 9), "E").Value And Cells((A - 10), "E").Value Then

I am trying to identify points within that random set of integers moments that are greater than moments within 10 moments before and after the test moment

Ok, to try and get to the bottom of this. Referring to the code in post number 1 and the quote above are you trying to test that Cells(A, "E").Value is greater than each individual value and then if they are all less than Cells(A, "E").Value carry out the then statement?

I am asking because as you have it written it is if you are trying to concatenate all the values for a single test.
i.e. if a = 1, b = 2, c= 3 and d = 4 then the test would be Cells(A, "E").Value > 1234 which I don't believe is right.

Also is that part of the code also supposed to be running on the ws sheet?

As for your Dim statements you could change

Code:
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim PA As Workbook
Dim TA As Workbook
Dim A As Integer
Dim B As Integer 
Dim C As Integer
Dim D As Integer
Dim E As Integer
Dim F As Integer
Dim G As Integer
Dim H As Integer
Dim I As Integer
Dim J As Integer
Dim K As Integer
Dim L As Integer
Dim M As Integer
Dim N As Integer
Dim AA As Range
Dim BB As Range
Dim CC As Range
Dim DD As Range
Dim R1 As Range
Dim R2 As Range

to

Code:
Dim ws As Worksheet, PA As Workbook, TA As Workbook
Dim A As Long, B As Long, C As Long, D As Long
Dim E As Long, F As Long, G As Long, H As Long
Dim I As Long, J As Long, K As Long, L As Long
Dim M As Long, N As Long
Dim AA As Range, BB As Range, CC As Range, DD As Range
Dim R1 As Range, R2 As Range

I also say that I think you will probably hit more issues later in your code as you aren't qualifying your ranges with their worksheets.

Correct, I would like to test each individual value to cells(A, "E") and then carry out the if then statement if the statement is greater than the values to which it is compared.

I definitely don't want to concatenate cell values. I was under the assumption the "And" statement required all statements to be true in order to pass the test. Is there another way I can test relative referenced cell values?

Also is that part of the code also supposed to be running on the ws sheet?
I'm not sure what you are referring to here, but I suspect the answer is no. The only ws printed output is assigned to the workbook TA and includes descriptive measures for various qualifying inputs.

I also say that I think you will probably hit more issues later in your code as you aren't qualifying your ranges with their worksheets.

Can you give an example of qualifying ranges with ws? Are you referring to "R2" for instance?

Code:
[COLOR=#333333]Set R2 = PA.ws.Range(Cells(G, "A")).Row[/COLOR]

Initially I had for each statements using integer values instead of the range values.

For instance

For Each integer1 in Range

as compared to the current

For each R2(range variable) in Range

I'm going to worry about this when the time comes:biggrin:

Then
Code:
    If Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A + 1), "E").Value And Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A + 2), "E").Value And _
       Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A + 3), "E").Value And Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A + 4), "E").Value And _
       Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A + 5), "E").Value And Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A + 6), "E").Value And _
       Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A + 7), "E").Value And Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A + 8), "E").Value And _
       Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A + 9), "E").Value And Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A + 10), "E").Value And _
       Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A - 1), "E").Value And Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A - 2), "E").Value And _
       Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A - 3), "E").Value And Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A - 4), "E").Value And _
       Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A - 5), "E").Value And Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A - 6), "E").Value And _
       Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A - 7), "E").Value And Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A - 8), "E").Value And _
       Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A - 9), "E").Value And Cells(A, "E").Value > Cells((A - 10), "E").Value Then

or

Rich (BB code):
    For Each xcell In Union(Range(Cells(A - 1, "E"), Cells(A - 10, "E")), Range(Cells(A + 1, "E"), Cells(A + 10, "E")))
        If xcell < Cells(A, "E").Value Then
            x = 0
        Else
            x = 1
        End If
        y = y + x
    Next
    If y = 0 Then
        'code if test passes
    Else
        'action if code fails
    End If

Can you give an example of qualifying ranges with ws? Are you referring to "R2" for instance?
I am talking about lines like the below where neither Range or Cells is qualified with the worksheet (BTW, I stated worksheet not ws, I don't know whether it should be ws or another worksheet, either way it should be qualified with the appropriate worksheet). Asking for trouble down the line...
Code:
I = Range(Cells(2, "A")).Row

;) Or perhaps:

Code:
If Cells(A, "E").Value > Application.Large(Cells(A - 10, "E").Resize(21), 2) Then
    'code if test passes
Else
    'action if code fails
End If

@StephenCrump, will that not mean Cells(A, "E").Value will be testing against itself as it is in the middle of the range?
