Questions:
I am building a macro which includes an intermediate step for counting the results of a search.
If the search does not come up with results, the column stays blank and that causes the count to give a 1004-error.
My code looks like this:
Sub Test()
Dim z As Integer
z=Worksheets("Pumps").Range("N:N").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).Count
Range("O1").Value = z
End Sub
Does anybody have an idea how to control this ?
Thank you in advance.
How to&Answers:
Use error handling with SpecialCells.
Plus I have removed the unnecessary use of a count.
Dim rng1 As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set rng1 = Worksheets("Pumps").Range("N:N").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not rng1 Is Nothing Then Range("O1").Value = rng1.Cells.Count
Answer：
You could solve it like this
Sub Test()
Dim z As Integer
If Application.WorksheetFunction.Count(Range("N:N")) >= "1" Then
z = Worksheets("Pumps").Range("N:N").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).Count
Range("O1").Value = z
End If
End Sub
Answer：
The range returned by SpecialCells() can be empty, so test it beforehand:
Sub Test()
Dim results As Range
Set results = Worksheets("Pumps").Range("N:N").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If results Is Nothing Then
Range("O1") = 0
Else
Range("O1") = results.Count
End If
End Sub
BTW, maybe you should qualify Range("O1") to get the return value onto the sheet you intend, like in Worksheets("Pumps").Range("O1").
