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?
 
I will have to completely re-write it as the autofilter is built into so much.

It is a good idea to take it out but the amount of time I have needed to just write this, it is just not feasible to spend that amount of time to re-write the code.

Maybe I could do it if I got some help with the code.

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.

Not that much to it. In fact the code turns it off in a couple of places as is. It my bedtime now, so I will look again tomorrow. Nighty night.

Ok, thank you.
Im away until late tomorrow arvo......but i don't think cancelling the auto filter is a big issue...EXCEPT it will ask the message at every line...which isnt a problem if there aren't many rows

There may be 50-100ish lines. I was thinking that the find function of vba could be used to cycle through all the entries that match the date and request number as defined by lcdt And lcreq?

Why not use an if statementinside the loop so it only recognises the required rows??

Try replacing all of this
VBA Code:
If rws > 0 Then
                                'If ws.Range("A4", ws.Range("A4").End(xlDown)) > 1 Then
                                    Dim answer As Integer
                                    Dim RowNumber As Long
                                    Dim RowLine As Range
                                    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
                                    ws.Activate
                                   
                                    LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
                                    For i = LastRow To 4 Step -1
                                            'ws.Activate
                                            If Rows(i).Hidden = False Then
                                                Rows(i).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
                                                answer = MsgBox("Is this the job you want to apply the late cancel price too?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "Late Cancel Price")
                                                Rows(i).Interior.ColorIndex = 0
                                               
                                            End If
                                            If answer = vbYes Then

                                                RowNumber = Rows(i).Row - 3 'NOT SURE YOU WILL NEED THIS LINE
                                                GoTo FoundRightJob
                                            End If
                                            'If answer = vbNo
                                           
                                    Next i
                                End If

With This

VBA Code:
                                If rws > 0 Then
                                    Dim answer As Integer
                                    Dim RowNumber As Long                                   
                                    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
                                    LastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
                                    For i = LastRow To 4 Step -1
                                            'ws.Activate
                                            If .Rows(i).Hidden = False Then
                                               .Rows(i).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
                                               answer = MsgBox("Is this the job you want to apply the late cancel price too?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "Late Cancel Price")
                                                .Rows(i).Interior.ColorIndex = 0
                                            End If
                                            If answer = vbYes Then                                               
                                                RowNumber = .Rows(i).Row - 3
                                                GoTo FoundRightJob
                                            End If
                                            'If answer = vbNo

                                End If
Eliminate the ws.Activate statement because it is already inside a With ws statement and all that is needed is to put periods in front of range references, which I did. I also deleted all the superfuous remarks so the code is more readable.

I think there should be a delete in there. like below.
VBA Code:
If answer = vbYes Then   
       .Rows(i).Delete                                   
      RowNumber = .Rows(i).Row - 3
      GoTo FoundRightJo
End If
That got omitted somewhere along the way.

Thanks for that. With post 67, I replaced all my code as required and tried to run it and I got an error, Application defined or object defined error. I pressed debug and it highlighted this code
VBA Code:
LastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

With post 68, the rows are not meant to be deleted when the late cancel sub is run, they just have the text added to the start of the date so the delete code in 68 is not required.

Looks likeI read one of the Posts wrong. Just add the 'With ws' and 'End With' as shown below.

Rich (BB code):
If rws > 0 Then
    With ws
                                    Dim answer As Integer
                                    Dim RowNumber As Long                                   
                                    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
                                    LastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
                                    For i = LastRow To 4 Step -1
                                            'ws.Activate
                                            If .Rows(i).Hidden = False Then
                                               .Rows(i).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
                                               answer = MsgBox("Is this the job you want to apply the late cancel price too?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "Late Cancel Price")
                                                .Rows(i).Interior.ColorIndex = 0
                                            End If
                                            If answer = vbYes Then
