Application-defined or object-defined error (1004) - excel

I have a spreadsheet which allows users to enter information onto a single page then press a button to send all the info to where it needs to go. I have a function which checks to see if a sheet exists and then creates a copy of a template sheet and renames it to the required name.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = 1 To 10
OpName = Cells(i + 3, 2).Value
If Not OpName = "" Then
OpCheck (OpName)
So the code above cycles through the cells down row B and runs the opcheck function as described above.
Function OpCheck(Init As String)
Init = UCase(Init)
exists = False
For i = 1 To Worksheets.Count
If Worksheets(i).Name = Init Then
exists = True
End If
Next i
If Not exists Then
Sheets("Op Template").Visible = True
Sheets("Op Template").Activate
ActiveSheet.Copy After:=Worksheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = Init
RenameTable (Init)
On Error Resume Next
End If
Sheets("Op Template").Visible = False
End Function
This is the code for the function and the error occurs in the line
ActiveSheet.Name = Init
This has worked some of the time but is now failing to find a sheet with the name TS and gets an error when it tries to rename a new page with a name that already exists. I just don't understand why it isn't finding the page in the first place.
Thanks in advance.

The reason your code is sometimes failing to find is because you need to exit the For loop once the sheet is found. A fix is:
For i = 1 To Worksheets.Count
If Worksheets(i).Name = Init Then
exists = True
Exit For ' ADD THIS LINE
End If
Next i
A couple of other code comments:
Consider changing Function OpCheck to Sub OpCheck since you're not returning anything
Your code may be causing Init to be converted to upper case in the function or sub that calls OpCheck. To avoid this, change the declaration to: OpCheck(ByVal Init As String)
This section of code:
Sheets("Op Template").Visible = True
Sheets("Op Template").Activate
ActiveSheet.Copy After:=Worksheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = Init
RenameTable (Init)
can be made less risky by avoiding ActiveSheet
dim ws as Worksheet
Set ws = Sheets("Op Template")
ws.Visible = True
ws.Copy After:=Worksheets(Sheets.Count)
' Instead of this
' ActiveSheet.Name = Init
' Something like this
Worksheets(Sheets.Count).Name = Init
RenameTable (Init)
Hope that helps

Problem with running VBA macro from Python

I am trying to run a VBA script (the script refers to a button, CommandButton1_Click ()), from a Python script. But all the time he writes an error that the macro cannot be found. I tried different spellings of names, put the macro as Public Sub. The CommandButton1_Click () macro itself calls the main macro. It is what, in fact, is needed, but it is launched only through CommandButton1_Click (). It seems to me that the point is in the passed argument, but how to pass it correctly? ActiveSheet.Name not working
Python:
if os.path.exists(r'./Результат/Отчет_Собираемость — копия.xlsm'):
excel_macro = win32com.client.DispatchEx("Excel.Application")
excel_path = os.path.expanduser(r'\\guo.local\DFSFILES\MSK\HOME\dobychin.ia\Desktop\report collection\1 вариант(Загрузка данных - Python, формирование отчета -VBA)\Результат/Отчет_Собираемость — копия.xlsm')
workbook = excel_macro.Workbooks.Open(Filename=excel_path, ReadOnly =1)
param = "ActiveSheet.Name"
# excel_macro.Application.Run("Отчет_Собираемость.xlsm!Лист3 (ОТЧЕТ_день).CommandButton1_Click()")
excel_macro.Application.Run("CommandButton1_Click")
workbook.Save()
excel_macro.Application.Quit()
del excel_macro
VBA:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call main(ActiveSheet.Name)
MsgBox ("Готово!")
End Sub
VBA:
Sub main(ws_name)
Call optimize
Call dell_sheets
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ws_name)
ws.CommandButton1.Visible = False
ws.SpinButton1.Visible = False
Set dws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("!Периоды")
i = 1
Do While dws.Cells(i, 3) <> ""
mc = dws.Cells(i, 3)
ws.Copy after:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)
Set aws = ActiveSheet
aws.Cells(3, 2) = mc
Application.Calculate
aws.UsedRange.Value = aws.UsedRange.Value
aws.Name = mc
i = i + 1
Loop
ws.Activate
ws.CommandButton1.Visible = True
ws.SpinButton1.Visible = True

Excel: Skip loop if cell returns #N/A Error

I wrote below script but get hung up on this part of the code:
If TargetWb.Sheets("Expenses").Range("F61").Offset(0, i - 1).Value = CVErr(xlErrNA) Then GoTo Skip Else GoTo Continue
What I'm trying to do: if the value of the cell returns #N/A as part of a function I would like to move to next loop. Any recommendation on how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for solutions. Also always open to recommendations on how to better structure this code, as I'm still a beginner.
Dim filePath As String
Dim SourceWb As Workbook
Dim TargetWb As Workbook
Dim S_Deal As Range
Dim i As Integer
'SourceWb - Workbook were data is copied from
'TargetWb - Workbook were data is copied to and links are stored
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set TargetWb = ThisWorkbook
filePath = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Expenses").Range("S4").Value
Set SourceWb = Workbooks.Open(filePath)
For i = 1 To 6
If TargetWb.Sheets("Expenses").Range("F61").Offset(0, i - 1).Value = CVErr(xlErrNA) Then GoTo Skip Else GoTo Continue
Continue:
Set S_Deal = TargetWb.Sheets("Expenses").Cells(11, 5 + i)
SourceWb.ActiveSheet.Range("OPEX_Control").Value = S_Deal.Value
TargetWb.Sheets("Expenses").Range("F12:F15").Offset(0, i - 1).Value = SourceWb.ActiveSheet.Range("P9:P12").Value
TargetWb.Sheets("Expenses").Range("F18:F21").Offset(0, i - 1).Value = SourceWb.ActiveSheet.Range("o14:o17").Value
TargetWb.Sheets("Expenses").Range("F23:F26").Offset(0, i - 1).Value = SourceWb.ActiveSheet.Range("o19:o22").Value
TargetWb.Sheets("Expenses").Range("F29").Offset(0, i - 1).Value = SourceWb.ActiveSheet.Range("o25").Value
Skip:
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
If you want to check whether the excel function return #N/A in vba, you can use the following code:
If Application.WorksheetFunction.IsNA(Cells(intRow, x)) Then
Since what you want is the execute a code unless the the wb.function is not #N/A, by re-arrange your If VBA code should be able to achieve your desired outcome.
If Application.WorksheetFunction.IsNA(TargetWb.Sheets("Expenses").Range("F61")) = false then
{your code}
end if
next i
So when the wb function return #N/A, it will not execute the code in between and go to next loop

Nested For Loop Stops Midstream

In the code below LastCellR = 49 and LastSheet is 61 (i.e. there are 61 sheets in the workbook and 49 client names in column 1 of the active sheet)
The code runs fine till i gets to 46 and CS gets to 61. Then in Debug, the code stops and highlights
"If Worksheets(CS).Name = ClientName Then".
The goal here is to go down a list of client names and determine if they are existing clients or new ones. So I simply get each client's name and search through the sheet names in the workbook.
Any ideas why it stops dead in it's tracks?
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
For i = 2 To LastCellR
ClientName = Cells(i, 1).Value
If Trim(ClientName) = "" Then Exit Sub
' Check for existing client
For CS = 1 To LastSheet
If Worksheets(CS).Name = ClientName Then
NewClient = False
Exit For
End If
Next CS
Next i
Not the answer to your issues, may be another option to check for the sheet

WorksheetExists = True

Accessing open workbook in a sub generates Error 1004 "Method of 'Sheets' of Object '_Global' not failed" sometimes

I am getting inconsistent results when I try to refer to an active workbook. About half the time I get the "Method of 'Sheets' of Object '_Global' not failed" error and other times the code works fine. I don't see a pattern.
The VBA code is part of a Word document that allows the user to open a template Excel file and select/copy text from the Word doc into rows on the Excel file.
In a previous sub I successfully open an Excel template file (I call it a RTM template). In the code below I want to activate the "RTM" worksheet, select the first cell where the template could already have data in it from a previous execution and if there is, then count how many rows of data exist. In this way the new data will be posted in the first row which does not have any data. I am using named ranges in my Workbook to refer to the starting cell ("First_Cell_For_Data").
When I run my code sometimes it runs without error and other times it stops on the "Sheets("RTM").Activate" and gives me the "Method...." error. The same result occurs when I change the variable definition of wb_open to Object. I have also tried using "wb_open.Sheets("RTM").Activate" with the same results.
As suggested in the comments below I added "If wb_open is nothing ...." to debug the issue. I also added the sub List_Open_Workbooks which enumerates the open workbooks (of which there is only 1) and activates the one that matches the name of the one with the correct filename. This is successful. But upon returning to Check_Excel_RTM_Template I still get the Method error on the "Sheets("RTM").Activate" line.
Second Update: after more time diagnosing the problem (which still occurs intermittently) I have added some code that may help getting to the root of the problem. In the "List_Open_Workbooks" sub I test for xlApp.Workbooks.Count = 0. So all references to an open Excel workbook will fail. At this point my template workbook is open in Windows. Am I drawing the correct conclusion?
Third Update: I tried Set wb_open = GetObject(str_filename) where str_filename contains the name of the Excel template file I just opened.
I get the following error message.
Also, I noticed that if I start with a fresh launch of Word and Excel it seems to run just fine.

I am hoping I found the source of my problem and solved it.
I believe that referring to an open workbook in sub using Dim wb_open As Object & Set wb_open = ActiveWorkbook in the Check_Excel_RTM_Template sub is causing my inconsistent problems....perhaps this is an anomoly (bug) in the VBA implementation in Word.
In the revised code I posted below I am passing the o_Excel object from the calling routine and using oExcel.Activesheet.xxx to reference ranges and values.
Now I next problem is that I am having errors on the form control button code which also uses the Dim wb_open As Object & Set wb_open = ActiveWorkbook approach to referring to the open workbook. But I'll post that as a new question.
Thanks to all who commented and provided suggestions.

Assorted VBA array iteration woes

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim SourceList(0) As Workbook
Dim PathList() As String
Dim n As Integer
PathList = Split("\data\WeaponInfo.csv", ",")
ThisWorkbook.Activate
Application.ActiveWindow.Visible = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For n = 0 To Ubound(PathList)
Workbooks.Open Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & PathList(n)
Set SourceList(n) = ActiveWorkbook
ActiveWindow.Visible = False
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Workbooks.Open Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\HeroForge Anew 3.5 v7.4.0.1.xlsm", UpdateLinks:=3
ActiveWindow.Visible = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For n = 0 To UBound(SourceList)
SourceList(n).Close
Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
The line For n = 0 to PathList.GetUpperBound(0) is throwing a "Compile Error (invalid qualifier) whenever I try to run this macro. Specifically it highlights PathList as being the problem.
Also, if I cut out the loop and just have the contents run once (replacing the PathList(n) with "\data\WeaponInfo.csv"), it throws an "Object Variable or With block variable not set" error on the SourceList(0) = ActiveWorkbook line. What am I doing wrong?
I'm aware that the loop is currently pointless; it's futureproofing as I'm going to be using this macro to open multiple data references.
EDIT: Made changes suggested by #Jeremy below, now getting the "Object variable or With block variable not set" error on the SourceList(n).Close line.
EDIT2: Fixed the loop, again on the advice of #Jeremy, by changing Dim SourceList(1) As Workbook to Dim SourceList(0) As Workbook
A couple of issues:
In VBA, the GetUpperBound method does not exist, it is for .NET only. Change it to Ubound function.
You may run into a problem with Sourcelist(0) = ActiveWorkbook. Use the Set keyword when assigning object references.
Source is not defined in your loop. ALWAYS put Option Explicit at the top of your code module to force you to declare your variables. It will save pain in the future.
What are you trying to do with splitting that string? you will just get one value, which is the string you are passing in.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim SourceList(1) As Workbook
Dim PathList() As String
Dim n as Integer
PathList = Split("\data\WeaponInfo.csv", ",")
ThisWorkbook.Activate
Application.ActiveWindow.Visible = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For n = 0 To Ubound(PathList)
Workbooks.Open Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & PathList(n)
Set SourceList(0) = ActiveWorkbook
Next
ActiveWindow.Visible = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Workbooks.Open Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\HeroForge Anew 3.5 v7.4.0.1.xlsm", UpdateLinks:=3
ActiveWindow.Visible = True
For Each Source In SourceList
Source.Close
Next
End Sub
