Error 438 object doesn't support this property - excel

I have this macro that works on my office computer but when I run it at a client's computer It doesn't work and shows the
Error 438 object doesn't support this property
marking this line:
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Hoja1").Sort.SortFields.Add2 Key:=Range("E2:E" & nFilas)
(My excel version is 365 and the client's is 2013)
I've tried changing Worksheets by Sheets, ActiveWorkbook by Sheet but nothing worked.
Columns("E:G").Select
ActiveSheet.Range("$E$1:$G$" & nFilas).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1, 2, 3), _
Header:=xlYes
Cells.Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Hoja1").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Hoja1").Sort.SortFields.Add2 Key:=Range("E2:E" & nFilas) _
, SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Hoja1").Sort
.SetRange Range("A1:X" & nFilas)
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With

Change .Add2 into .Add I think .Add2 was introduced in a later Excel version.
I recommend the following improvement:
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Hoja1")
ws.Range("$E$1:$G$" & nFilas).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1, 2, 3), Header:=xlYes
With ws.Sort
.SortFields.Clear
.SortFields.Add Key:=ws.Range("E2:E" & nFilas), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
.SetRange ws.Range("A1:X" & nFilas)
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With

Sort a chart from first value till last row and column

I recoded a macro and then have been trying to edit the code so that it will sort the chart no matter how many values it has. I am getting an error about range of object global failed.

Sort recorded in 2016 generates "Error 438. Object doesn't support this property or method" in 2010

I recorded a macro for a 2 column sort, that works, on Excel 2016.
I get the following error on Excel 2010.
Error 438. Object doesn't support this property or method.
What is not acceptable for the 2010 version of Excel?
Sub SortOpenOrder()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
Range("Table2[[#Headers],[Customer No.]]").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Open Orders").ListObjects("Table2").Sort.SortFields. _
Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Open Orders").ListObjects("Table2").Sort.SortFields. _
Add2 Key:=Range("Table2[Customer No.]"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:= _
xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Open Orders").ListObjects("Table2").Sort.SortFields. _
Add2 Key:=Range("Table2[PO '#]"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:= _
xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Open Orders").ListObjects("Table2").Sort
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Range("Table2[[#Headers],[Customer No.]]").Select
End Sub
The code you have doesn't look like it would bomb on either version of Excel, but refactoring it for better coding practices will surely help (as fabio alluded to).
Try this:
Dim myTable as ListObject
Set myTable = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Open Orders").ListObjects("Table2")
With myTable.Sort
With .SortFields
.Clear
.Add Key:=myTable.ListColumns("Customer No.").DataBodyRange, SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
.Add Key:=myTable.ListColumns("PO '#").DataBodyRange, SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
End With
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With

How to sort cells in a column from A to Z?

The code is from slightly edited macro. I tried to remove the 'messy code', however it is not working. The aim of it is to sort data in column BF from A to Z.
Dim InSheet As Worksheet
Set InSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("A to Z")
Dim LastRow as Integer
LastRow = InSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 58).End(xlUp).Row
InSheet.Select
Columns("BF:BF").Select
InSheet.Sort.SortFields.Clear
InSheet.Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range( _
"BF1"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With InSheet.Sort
.SetRange Range("A1:BF" & LastRow)
.Header = xlGuess
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
SO I tried this and it is not working:
Dim InSheet As Worksheet
Set InSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("A to Z")
Dim LastRow as Integer
LastRow = InSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 58).End(xlUp).Row
InSheet.Columns("BF:BF")
InSheet.Sort.SortFields.Clear
InSheet.Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range( _
"BF1"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With InSheet.Sort
.SetRange Range("A1:BF" & LastRow)
.Header = xlGuess
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Any ideas? I would like to really avoid .select an other stuff as it is hugely decreasing performance.
You can just directly sort the Range with a Key with out the rest of the code you have.
Range("A1:BF" & LastRow).SORT Key1:=Range("BF1"), Order1:=xlAscending_
Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:= _
xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
I used advice provided by both Steven Martin's answer and Dmitry Pavliv's comment, and this is working pretty well:
Dim InSheet As Worksheet
Set InSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("A to Z")
Dim LastRow As Integer
LastRow = InSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 58).End(xlUp).Row
With InSheet.Sort ' sort data from A to Z
.SetRange InSheet.Range("A1:BF" & LastRow)
.Header = xlGuess
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With

Sorting a range in Excel with VBA

I have several similar examples that all purport to work, but mine does not. Excel 2013, Office 365.
' Sort the "URLs" worksheet after update
Worksheets("URLs").Activate
lngLastRow = Cells(65536, Range.Column).End(xlUp).Row
Set Range = Worksheets("URLs").Range("A3:E" & lngLastRow)
Worksheets("URLs").Sort.SortFields.Clear
Worksheets("URLs").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("B4:B" & lngLastRow), _
SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDescending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
Worksheets("URLs").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("A4:A" & lngLastRow), _
SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With Worksheets("URLs").Sort
.SetRange Range("A3:E" & lngLastRow)
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Even when I don't use headers (change Range("A3") to "A4") and manually use an end range ("33" instead of lngLastRow), I get the error "Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument".
I created this macro using the recorder. I don't know why a recorded macro would not work in a macro.
I have never gotten anything with a ":=" to work. I've always had to work around that, but in this case, I can't figure that out either.
Try this:
' Sort the "URLs" worksheet after update
Sub Macro1()
Worksheets("URLs").Activate
Dim Range As Range
Dim lngLastRow As Long
lngLastRow = Worksheets("URLs").Range("A1048576").End(xlUp).Row
Set Range = Worksheets("URLs").Range("A3:E" & lngLastRow)
Worksheets("URLs").Sort.SortFields.Clear
Worksheets("URLs").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Worksheets("URLs").Range("B4:B" & lngLastRow), _
SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDescending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
Worksheets("URLs").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Worksheets("URLs").Range("A4:A" & lngLastRow), _
SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With Worksheets("URLs").Sort
.SetRange Worksheets("URLs").Range("A3:E" & lngLastRow)
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
End Sub
