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!

VBA code to sort cells in excel (Range Error)

Asked by bclivell in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: , , ,

Hi ya'll-

I made a macro to see how excel writes the VBA code for sorting.  I then took that same code and placed it in my excel file and changed the names and cell reference.  But I keep getting an error at the range.  The name of the sheet I want to sort is called "Timeline".  I want to sort "A10:e300" by column D.  The code for the quick macro I used as a reference is below.  After that, is the code that I am using in my workbook.  

***Quick macro sort code***
   Sheets("Sheet2").Select
    Range("E7:G15").Select
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2").Sort.SortFields.Clear
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("G7:G15") _
        , SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2").Sort
        .SetRange Range("E7:G15")
        .Header = xlGuess
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With
    Sheets("Sheet1").Select
    Range("C6").Select
end sub

***my VBA code***
Private Sub cmdCWUpdateTimeline_Click()

    Dim rStart As Range
    Dim rEnd As Range
    Dim rng As Range

    If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to update the timeline?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then
        Exit Sub
    End If
   
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   
    Worksheets("Timeline").Visible = True
   
    Set rStart = Columns(2).Find("Plan project & write proposal")
    Set rEnd = Columns(2).Find("Manage on-going project activities")
   
    If Not rStart Is Nothing And Not rEnd Is Nothing Then
        Range(rStart, rEnd).Copy ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Timeline").Range("A10")
    End If
   
    Sheets("Timeline").Select
    Range("a10:e300").Select <----(This is where I keep getting the error message)
   
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Timeline").Sort.SortFields.Clear
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Timeline").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("D10:d300") _
        , SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Timeline").Sort
        .SetRange Range("a10:e300")
        .Header = xlGuess
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With

    Worksheets(" Cost Worksheet - Consulting").Visible = False
 
End Sub
