vbscript selecting different rows in a xlsx file for range command - excel

Question

I wrote a vbscript to save a specific range of an xlsx file to a csv file.
I want to select different columns that are not located next to each other. The range of each column shall contain the last line with Content of it (Range("F6").End(xlToRight)).
My code:
Public Sub xlsToCsv()
Const WorkingDir = "C:\"
Const xlCSV = 6
Dim fso, SaveName, myFile
Dim objExcel, objWorkbook, sheet
myFile = "test.xlsx"
SaveName = "test.csv"
With CreateObject("Scripting.FilesystemObject")
If Not .FileExists(WorkingDir & myFile) Then
MsgBox "File not found:" & vbCrLf & WorkingDir & myFile, vbInformation, "Script Cancelled"
WScript.Quit
End If
End With
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Visible = False
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(WorkingDir & myFile)
With objWorkbook.Sheets(1)
.Range("D87", .Range("D87").End(-4121)).Copy
objWorkbook.Sheets.Add().paste
.Range("E87", .Range("E87").End(-4121)).Copy
End With
set sheet = objWorkbook.Sheets.Add()
sheet.paste
objWorkbook.SaveAs WorkingDir & SaveName, 23
objWorkbook.Saved = true
objWorkbook.Close
Set objWorkbook = Nothing
Set objExcel = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
Set myFolder = Nothing
End Sub
call xlsToCsv()
I get a type conflict in line 18 code 800A000D with 'Range'.
How can I make this work?

Answer 1

2 things here:
Whenever you use the Range object Range("F6").End(xlToRight), you need to mention its type/parent object. So, in your case, this should be replaced with objWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("F6").End(xlToRight)
VBScript does not know the meaning of xlToRight. So, you have to use the value of xlToRight which is -4161 as shown below:
Replace the following code:
objWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("F6", Range("F6").End(xlToRight)).Copy
objWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("C6", Range("C6").End(xlToRight)).Copy
WITH
With objWorkbook.Sheets(1)
.Range("F6", .Range("F6").End(-4161)).Copy
.Range("C6", .Range("C6").End(-4161)).Copy
End With

Think some of your code may be missing such as declaration of WorkingDir.
I have explicitly referenced the ranges by adding: With objWorkbook.Sheets(1)
Dim WorkingDir As String
WorkingDir = "C:\test.xlsx"
Dim fso, FileName, SaveName, myFile
Dim objExcel, objWorkbook
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FilesystemObject")
Set myFile = fso.GetFile(WorkingDir)
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Visible = False
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
'main operation
FileName = Left(myFile, InStrRev(myFile, "."))
Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(myFile)
With objWorkbook.Sheets(1)
.Range("F6", .Range("F6").End(xlToRight)).Copy
.Range("C6", .Range("C6").End(xlToRight)).Copy
End With
Dim sheet: Set sheet = objWorkbook.Sheets.Add()
sheet.Paste
SaveName = FileName & "csv"
objWorkbook.SaveAs SaveName, 23
objWorkbook.Saved = True
objWorkbook.Close
Set objWorkbook = Nothing
Set objExcel = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
' Set myFolder = Nothing
