The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Why does ReDim fail?

Asked by remarkl in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: redim, preserve, fails

Range2Resize is a custom data type.  

cRanges2resize is a publicly declared array:

     Public cRanges2Resize() As Range2Resize

cRanges2Resize has an upper bound of 1 (Option Base 1) and is empty when the sub below first runs.  As a result, the first time this Sub runs, the condition

If cRanges2Resize(1).sName <> ""

in

If cRanges2Resize(1).sName <> "" Then ReDim Preserve cRanges2Resize(UBound(cRanges2Resize) + 1)

throws an error, which causes the line to be skipped, and cRanges2Resize(1) is filled with r2r.

The second time the sub runs, cRanges2resize still has an upper bound of 1, but cRanges2Resize(1).sName has a value, so the Redim statement fires.  But it fails to reDim the array, returning a "Subscript out of Range" error.  I've read the Redim help, and I can't find a reason why the Redim statement should fail.  Any ideas? (I've tried hard-coding - ReDim Preserve cRanges2Resize(2) - but that fails, too.)


Sub MakeRange2Resize(sRange As String)

    SetStatus "Preparing to resize " & sRange
   
    CheckSheets True
   
    Dim r2r As Range2Resize
    Dim wsActiveSheet As Worksheet
    Set wsActiveSheet = ActiveSheet
    wsCalcsSheet.Activate
    r2r.sName = sRange
    With r2r
        Set .rzRawRange.cSubRanges = New Collection
        Set .rzFormulaRange.cSubRanges = New Collection
   
         [Do some stuff]

    End With
    On Error Resume Next
    If cRanges2Resize(1).sName <> "" Then ReDim Preserve cRanges2Resize(UBound(cRanges2Resize) + 1)
    cRanges2Resize(UBound(cRanges2Resize)) = r2r
    wsActiveSheet.Activate
    Set ActiveSheet = Nothing
   
    SetStatus False

End Sub
