The correct row is not being highlighted and having appropriate code run on that row

[dpaton05]

This is a strange error as it happens to me sometimes, but not every time. There are two procedures that both are used to identify a row and do something to it. They are called Transfer and LateCancel. They both are meant to cycle through each row, highlighting one row at a time and ask "is this the row?" When the user selects Yes it does something to the row and exits the sub. If No is selected, the highlighting is removed from that row and the next row is highlighted, asking the same question. The subs are initiated from a totals sheet where there 2 spots to enter a date and a request number in some cells. One spot for the Transfer sub to run and one spot for the LateCancel.



The transfer sub is not self explanatory from it's name. This is run on jobs that are to be cancelled.

Order of events

1. I run the sub Transfer from the totals sheet through a command button
2. Row 4 in the July sheet is highlighted
3. I am asked the question, "Is this the job you want to cancel?"
4. I press No and the highlighting moves to row 5 and asks the same question.
5. I press Yes on this row and the row is moved to the cancellations sheet and the sub is exited
6. I run the sub again from the totals sheet
7. Row 4 in the July sheet is highlighted
8. I am asked the question, "Is this the job you want to cancel?"
9. I press No and the highlighting moves to row 5 and asks the same question.
10. I press Yes on this row and the row is moved to the cancellations sheet and the sub is exited
    1. This is exactly what I want it to do so far
11. I now go back to the totals sheet and run the LateCancel sub
12. There is one row left in the July sheet that matches the filters of the autofilter so I would expect that row to be highlighted
13. The header row is highlighted next, where it should have highlighted the remaining row that matches the autofilter. It also asks me the above question.
14. If I keep pressing No, the row is highlighted agan after each time and asked the same question
15. If I press Yes, I get the error message that "No jobs have been selected as a late cancel"
16. I run the LateCancel sub again from the totals sheet and it repeats the steps from step 12

1. I know that this is a sometimes error as if I re-open my file and run the LateCancel sub first, the 3 jobs are cycled though as expected, and I am asked the question each time.
2. If I press Yes or No, it does what it's meant to do

I have been doing some testing and this is the totals sheet, where the information is entered. I leave it the same each time and just run the subs.

Can someone help me work out why this occurs sometimes and not other times please?

By you getting me to update the code myself, I now feel comfortable using for statements, so thanks for that Michael.

I got it to work with this code:

Sub Transfer()
    Dim ws As Worksheet, Sh As Worksheet, Cncl As Worksheet, AutoFilterCounter As Long, mth As String, r As Long, lr As Long, answer As String, n As Long
    Set Sh = Sheets("Totals")
    Set Cncl = Sheets("Cancellations")
    Dim Req As String: Req = Sh.[B25].Value
    Dim Dt As String: Dt = Sh.[B27].Value
    mth = MonthName(Month(Sh.Cells(27, 2)))
    If Day(Sh.Cells(37, 2)) >= 26 Then mth = MonthName(Month(Sh.Cells(37, 2)) + 1)
    Worksheets(mth).Activate
    lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    n = 0
        For r = 4 To lr
            If Cells(r, 1).Value = Dt And Cells(r, 3).Value = Req Then
                'Highlight the row colour so the user knows what row the question is relating to
                Rows(r).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
                answer = MsgBox("Is this the job you want to cancel?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "Job Cancellation")
                Rows(r).Interior.ColorIndex = 0
                If answer = vbYes Then
                    'Copy the row number which is the number of the iteration of the for loop
                    Rows(r).EntireRow.Copy Cncl.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
                    Rows(r).EntireRow.Delete
                Exit Sub
                End If
                If answer = vbNo Then n = n + 1
            End If
        Next r
    If n > 0 Then MsgBox " You have chosen to not cancel any of the " & n & " job/s matching the date and request number."
End Sub

Woo Hoo.....what a great effort !!
Did you have many error issues along the way ??
Well done mate.

 

[dpaton05]

Thanks Michael. I think it was rather straight forward copying and modifying the code from the LateCancel sub or as I don't have a good memory, I can't remember any issues that I had. Probably wasn't any as I started about 1 hour ago and now it is working.

 

[Michael M]

Hmmm....So now for the rest of the workbook VBA code.....
BTW, you need to update your profile to reflect what Platform( see my profile) and versions of Office you are using

 

[JLGWhiz]

I think you both deserve a couple of pats on the back for the patience and perseverence. @dpaton05 = The best way to learn is by trial and error. When you make the big mistakes like perpetual loops and memory overflows, you remember them and usuallyt avoid doing them more than 50 or 60 times a year. But the point is, you will never vecome a proficient coder unless you are willing to make mistakes along the way. Don't fear the computer, especially when using the vb editor to develop code. While the editor may not be the best in the world, it is good enough to keep you from wrecking your harddrive. or other permanent damage. And you always have the forums to fall back on when you hit a really tough one. Learn how to search the web for age old remedies to your problems and using the built in Excel and VBA help to access spec sheets and sample coding. Read the entire spec sheet because they have little tidbits of info tucked away in the narratives that point out exceptions to using certain methods. Learn what the limitations of Excel is by searchng for the 'Excel specifications and limitations' sheet. If you really want to become a good coder, design a personal project like a bank balance program or a personal budget program that track outlay against budget. You can work on those at home and learn how to create UserForms that interact with worksheets , etc. You have a good start with this thread and you should not stop now.

Regards, JLG

 

[dpaton05]

Thanks for your help too JLG

 

[Michael M]

I'd also be revisiting the Data Sheet in the LateCancel Sub to eliminate using it altogether.
Anything you do on that sheet would surely be able to be done via VBA directly.....just a thought !
@JLGWhiz Thanks for staying on this thread, extra eyes are always a bonus.....

 

[dpaton05]

Thanks for the idea and I will keep it in mind but seeing as though it is working now, there may be other things I need to carry on with.

 

[dpaton05]

With this code

Sub Transfer()
    Dim ws As Worksheet, Sh As Worksheet, Cncl As Worksheet, mth As String, r As Long, lr As Long, answer As String, n As Long
    Set Sh = Sheets("Totals")
    Set Cncl = Sheets("Cancellations")
    Dim Req As String: Req = Sh.[B25].Value
    Dim Dt As String: Dt = Sh.[B27].Value
    mth = MonthName(Month(Sh.Cells(27, 2)))
    If Day(Dt) >= 26 Then mth = MonthName(Month(Dt) + 1)
    Worksheets(mth).Activate
    lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    n = 0
        For r = 4 To lr
            If Cells(r, 1).Value = Dt And Cells(r, 3).Value = Req Then
                'Highlight the row colour so the user knows what row the question is relating to
                Rows(r).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
                answer = MsgBox("Is this the job you want to cancel?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "Job Cancellation")
                Rows(r).Interior.ColorIndex = 0
                If answer = vbYes Then
                    'Copy the row number which is the number of the iteration of the for loop
                    Rows(r).EntireRow.Copy Cncl.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
                    Rows(r).EntireRow.Delete
                    Exit Sub
                End If
                If answer = vbNo Then n = n + 1
            End If
        Next r
    If n > 0 Then MsgBox " You have chosen to not cancel any of the " & n & " job/s matching the date and request number."
End Sub

I have 10655 entered in column C in the march sheet for a row and also in B25 of the totals sheet. I have 27/02/2022 entered in B27 on the totals sheet and in the same row job that has the request number of 10655 but in column A. When I run the transfer code, it won't move the specified row.

My code is meant to move rows to the cancellations sheet but it won't find the current row as just described, despite there being multiple rows. Can someone help me please?

 

[Michael M]

When the code is run, does the appropriate row get highlighted ??
Works fine for me using your data !
