VBA solver add-in function
Hi,
I am working on VBA code in MS Project and I'm trying to add a reference to the Solver add-in to an excel sheet without manually having to add it by going to tools referneces. Everyting seems to work ok, the sover reference is added to the VBA project in excel, but VBA doesn't like the line:
with objExcel
.SolverOk SetCell:="$A$4", MaxMinVal:=3, ValueOf:="0", ByChange:="$A$3"
.SolverSolve
end wtih
I get the error message: Run-time error '438'. Object doesn't support this property or method.
I was wondering if there is any way of calling the solverOK function through MS project using an excel sheet as an object.
Here is the code I have:
Option Explicit
Dim objExcel As Object
Sub test()
Create_New_Instance_of_Exc el
Workbook_Open
runMe
End Sub
Sub Create_New_Instance_of_Exc el()
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.sheet" )
Exit Sub
End Sub
Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim SolverPath As String
objExcel.Application.Visib le = True
objExcel.Application.Cells (1, 1).Value = "Opened"
MsgBox "Workbook Opened"
SolverPath = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Library\Solv er\Solver. xla"
objExcel.VBProject.Referen ces.AddFro mFile SolverPath
objExcel.Application.Cells (1, 1).Value = "Solver Added"
MsgBox "Solver Added"
End Sub
Sub runMe()
MsgBox "runMe"
With objExcel
.SolverOk SetCell:="$A$4", MaxMinVal:=3, ValueOf:="0", ByChange:="$A$3"
.SolverSolve
.Application.Cells(1, 1).Value = "runMe"
End With
MsgBox "runMe end"
End Sub
