Hello, I'm trying to clean and trim a specific range in VBA and I'm having errors. My problem is probably while setting my range, but I'm not sure why.

All my variables are defined earlier in the code:

VBA Code: 
Private LastrowMaster As Long, LastrowCT As Long
Private WS1 As String
Private MainWB As Workbook
Private rng As Range, Area As Range

Set rng = MainWB.Worksheets(WS1).Range("A" & LastrowCT & ":BP" & LastrowMaster)

'If I use this, I get an Object required error
For Each Area In rng.Areas
    Area.Value = Evaluate("IF(ROW(" & Area.Address & "),CLEAN(TRIM(" & Area.Address & ")))")
Next Area

'If I use this, I get a Type Mismatch error
For Each cell In rng.Cells
    cell.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Clean(Trim(cell.Value))
Next cell

What am I doing wrong?
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Sort by date Sort by votes
In the code you have posted you haven't assigned any values to LastrowCT or LastrowMaster (although you are trying to declare the type, which you would normally do before you assigned the values)

As per the above, please post your full code so we can see exactly what we are looking at rather than guessing.

Here, I fixed it:

VBA Code: 
    Private WS1 As String
    Private MainWB As Workbook
    Private rng As Range, Area As Range

    Set MainWB = ThisWorkbook
    WS1 = "ABC"
    Set rng = MainWB.Worksheets(WS1).Range("A3000:BP3020")

    'If I use this, I get an Object required error

    For Each Area In rng.Areas
        Area.Value = Evaluate("IF(ROW(" & Area.Address & "),CLEAN(TRIM(" & Area.Address & ")))")
    Next Area

    'If I use this, I get a Type Mismatch error
    For Each cell In rng.Cells
        cell.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Clean(Trim(cell.Value))
    Next cell

What am I doing wrong?

Try it like the code below (Run the sub TEST)

VBA Code: 
Option Explicit

    Private WS1 As String
    Private MainWB As Workbook
    Private rng As Range, cell As Range
Sub TEST()
    Set MainWB = ThisWorkbook
    WS1 = "ABC"
    Set rng = MainWB.Worksheets(WS1).Range("A3000:BP3020")

   
    For Each cell In rng.Cells
        cell.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Clean(Trim(cell.Value))
    Next cell
End Sub

Thanks for the reply! I get an error code that cell is not defined but it is. I have 2 other variables declared as range that work fine, but they use the argument "Set" before.

Like the rng one.

Is cell and Area not supposed to be a range data type?

Still confused. ;p

I don't get the cell is not defined error with the code that I posted, I do with your original code as you hadn't declared it in that code

I found the same as Mark regarding the cell not being declared.

I am not sure why you are using Area since your example only has one Area but I did find it runs against the activesheet which may not be ABC.
Try changing this line to what I have here:
VBA Code: 
Area.Value = Evaluate("IF(ROW(" & Area.Address(1, 1, xlA1, 1) & "),CLEAN(TRIM(" & Area.Address(1, 1, xlA1, 1) & ")))")

This is so weird. They are both defined. I didn't want to post my full code for simplification, but here it is. I still get the message that Area and Cell are not defined (when I remove the comments for either). I don't get it.

Note: I redacted some strings with the mention [Confidential]:
