Hi Everyone,

I am trying to learn the basics of VBA to automate basic repetitive work tasks.

When attempting to declare variables and use them I keep getting a runtime error 438.
I am sure this is a vary basic format error, but I have not found any support on how to resolve the issue.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Code Snipit: Applied to Sheet1 in VBA module

Public Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Test1 As Long
Dim Test2 As Long


Test1 = Range("D3").Vaule <---- Debugger shows the error on this line
Test2 = Test1 + 30


Range("E12").Vaule = Test2


End Sub

Thanks,

Bradley Wolosz

If that's not just a typo in your post, try changing it to Value and ensure that D3 and E12 contain numbers.

See if this works better. If so I may be able to clarify...

Code:
Public Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Test1 As Long, Test2 As Long
    Test1 = CLng(Range("D3")
    Test2 = Test1 + 30
    Range("E12") = Test2
End Sub

Also, could you post the value of Range "D3"?

**** LMAO,

Chalk it up to fat fingers, or maybe a little typing Dyslexia but that would be the issue.

Sometimes it is the stupid stuff that kicks me in the butt!

Thanks showing me the error that I should have seen on my own!

The part you will love the most is that the .value isnt technically even needed. You could have deleted that entirely to fix your code. :)
