Creating Map Point object in Excel VBA - excel

This code has a run-time error saying object required on this line...
Set objDataSets = objApp.ActiveMap.DataSets
This is what I used as a reference...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa723407.aspx
Sub CreateMaps()
Dim MPApp As MapPoint.Application
Set MPApp = New MapPoint.Application
MPApp.Visible = True
MPApp.UserControl = True
OpenDataSet
End Sub
Sub OpenDataSet()
Dim objDataSets As MapPoint.DataSets
Dim objDataSet As MapPoint.DataSet
Dim zDataSource As String
zDataSource = "S:\Projects\StateMapData.xlsx!Data!AY5:AZ56"
Set objDataSets = objApp.ActiveMap.DataSets
Set objDataSet = objDataSets.ImportData(zDataSource)
End Sub

Make Visio layer visible through Excel macro

I am trying to make a layer in Visio visible through an Excel Macro, that I wrote. However, I always an invalid parameter error.
This is my code:
Sub visio_change_shape(index_value As Variant)
Dim AppVisio As Object
Dim VisioSystems As Object
Set AppVisio = GetObject(, "Visio.Application")
AppVisio.Pages(1).Layers.Item(index_value).CellsC(visLayerVisible).FormulaU = "1"
End Sub
However, in visio the same line works:
Private Sub Select_layers()
Dim vsoPage As Visio.Page
Dim vsoShape As Visio.Shape
Dim vsoLayers As Visio.Layers
Dim vsoLayer As Visio.Layer
Set vsoPage = ActivePage
Set vsoLayers = vsoPage.Layers
vsoLayer.CellsC(visLayerVisible).FormulaU = "1"
Next
End Sub
Thanks for any leads!
All you actually need is:
ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Layers.Item(index_value).CellsC(visLayerVisible).Formula = "1"
index_value should be a short int.

Run time Error 91 with HTML documents in excel VBA [duplicate]

I have the following code:
Sub AddSources()
Dim pubPage As Page
Dim pubShape As Shape
Dim hprlink As Hyperlink
Dim origAddress() As String
Dim exportFileName As String
exportFileName = "TestResume"
Dim linkSource As String
linkSource = "TestSource2"
Dim hyperLinkText As TextRange
For Each pubPage In ActiveDocument.Pages
For Each pubShape In pubPage.Shapes
If pubShape.Type = pbTextFrame Then
For Each hprlink In pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Hyperlinks
If InStr(hprlink.Address, "http://bleaney.ca") > 0 Then
hyperLinkText = hprlink.Range
origAddress = Split(hprlink.Address, "?source=")
hprlink.Address = origAddress(0) + "?source=" + linkSource
hprlink.Range = hyperLinkText
End If
Next hprlink
End If
Next pubShape
Next pubPage
ThisDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat pbFixedFormatTypePDF, "C:\" + exportFileName + ".pdf"
End Sub
I am getting the "Object variable or With block variable not set (Error 91)" error on the line with hyperLinkText = hprlink.Range. When I debug I can see that hprlink.Range does have a value. Any thoughts what I'm doing wrong?
As I wrote in my comment, the solution to your problem is to write the following:
Set hyperLinkText = hprlink.Range
Set is needed because TextRange is a class, so hyperLinkText is an object; as such, if you want to assign it, you need to make it point to the actual object that you need.

VBA : Getting an error for my code "Runtime error 424"

My code is working fine but it ends up giving me a runtime error "object required.
I am not able to find out what is causing this error. This code is related to deleting graphs that don't have any data in them .
Sub HideEmptyCharts()
Dim wksCharts As Worksheet
Dim objCO As ChartObject
' Set up a variable for the worksheet containing the charts
Set wksCharts = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Report output")
' Loop through every embedded chart object on the worksheet
For Each objCO In wksCharts.ChartObjects
' Make each one visible
objCO.Visible = True
' If the chart is empty make it not visible
If IsChartEmpty(objCO.Chart) Then objCO.Visible = False
Next objCO
End Sub
Private Function IsChartEmpty(chtAnalyse As Chart) As Boolean
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim objSeries As Series
' Loop through all series of data within the chart
For i = 1 To chtAnalyse.SeriesCollection.Count
Set objSeries = chtAnalyse.SeriesCollection(i)
' Loop through each value of the series
For j = 1 To UBound(objSeries.Values)
' If we have a non-zero value then the chart is not deemed to be empty
If objSeries.Values(j) <> 0 Then
' Set return value and quit function
IsChartEmpty = False
Exit Function
End If
Next j
Next i
IsChartEmpty = True
End Function
Change the object passed to the function from Chart to full ChartObjectlike this:
Private Sub HideEmptyCharts()
Dim wksCharts As Worksheet
Dim objCO As ChartObject
Set wksCharts= ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Report output")
For Each objCO In wksCharts.ChartObjects
objCO.Visible = True
If IsChartEmpty(objCO) Then objCO.Visible = False
Next objCO
End Sub
Private Function IsChartEmpty(co As ChartObject) As Boolean
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim objSeries As Series
For i = 1 To co.Chart.SeriesCollection.Count
Set objSeries = co.Chart.SeriesCollection(i)
For j = 1 To UBound(objSeries.Values)
If objSeries.Values(j) <> 0 Then
IsChartEmpty = False
Exit Function
End If
Next j
Next i
IsChartEmpty = True
End Function
An outdated pivotcache and some still remembered but in the meantime missed items caused some trouble to me in the past. So I propose to add this code once before:
Dim pc As PivotCache
For Each pc In ThisWorkbook.PivotCaches
pc.MissingItemsLimit = xlMissingItemsNone
pc.Refresh
Next pc

Error-Is Nothing condition in case of object

I am trying to use a conditional code for Object such that if value/text is found in object (in my example it is JSONObject) then do something otherwise nothing. But when I run the code it is working only when found in object and shows "runtime error" when it is not found in object.
The code is:-
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
Dim jsonText As String
Dim FSO As New FileSystemObject
Dim JsonTS As TextStream
Dim jsonObject As Object('It is an object created )
myfile = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="JSON file (*.json), *.json", Title:="Get File", MultiSelect:=True)
Set JsonTS = FSO.OpenTextFile(myfile, ForReading)
jsonText = JsonTS.ReadAll
JsonTS.Close
Set jsonObject = JsonConverter.ParseJson(jsonText)
' Condition that if in jsonObect, "b2b" is found then
If Not jsonObject("b2b") Is Nothing Then
For Each item In jsonObject("b2b") '("inv")
Sheet3.Cells(a, 2) = jsonObject("fp")
Sheet3.Cells(a, 1) = item("ctin")
End If
End Sub
I'd rather have JSON to test with but you could attempt to set jsonObject("b2b") into a new variable wrapped within an On Error Resume Next and then test that for If Not Is Nothing
Dim b2bObject As Object
Dim item As Variant '<<=== ? missing from your code
On Error Resume Next
Set b2bObject = jsonObject("b2b")
On Error GoTo 0
If Not b2bObject Is Nothing Then
For Each item In b2bObject
Sheet3.Cells(a, 2) = jsonObject("fp")
Sheet3.Cells(a, 1) = item("ctin")
Next
End If
If using in a loop you may wish to Set b2bObject = Nothing before End If as safeguard.

VB.NET: Excel Crashes when Updating Data in a Word Chart

Update: Releasing objects has no effect on Excel crashing. The problematic line is:
Dim wChartData = wChart.ChartData
I have written a VB.Net application that opens a word document, iterates through the inline shapes, and updates each chart with data from the database. Sometimes Excel will crash when opening the sheet containing the chart data. Can anyone tell me how I fix this?
Here is the code that iterates through the shapes:
wApp = New Word.Application
wApp.Visible = True
wDoc = wApp.Documents.Add("Some_File_Name.docx")
Console.WriteLine("Updating Charts")
Dim chartName As String
For Each wShape As Word.InlineShape In wDoc.InlineShapes
If wShape.HasChart = Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue Then
If wShape.Chart.HasTitle Then
chartName = wShape.Chart.ChartTitle.Text
Else
chartName = "NO_TITLE"
End If
UpdateChart(wShape.Chart, reportID, reportTitle,
reportUser, curriculumYear, chartName)
End If
Next
The UpdateChart subroutine grabs a SQL query and some options related to the chart, then fires off the FillChartData subroutine below:
Public Sub FillChartData(ByRef wChart As Word.Chart, ByVal sql As String,
Optional ByVal addDataPointsToLabels As Boolean = False)
If sql = "" Then Exit Sub
Dim cmd = O.factory.CreateCommand()
cmd.CommandText = sql
cmd.Connection = O.con
O.factory.CreateDataAdapter()
Dim adapter = O.factory.CreateDataAdapter
adapter.SelectCommand = cmd
Dim dt As New System.Data.DataTable()
Dim ds As New System.Data.DataSet()
adapter.Fill(ds, "report_name")
dt = ds.Tables(0)
Dim wChartData = wChart.ChartData
Dim wChartWb As Excel.Workbook = wChartData.Workbook
Dim wChartSheet As Excel.Worksheet = wChartWb.Sheets(1)
Dim title As String = "No title"
If wChart.HasTitle Then title = wChart.ChartTitle.Text.ToString
Dim r As Excel.Range
r = wChartSheet.Range("A1")
r.CurrentRegion.Clear()
For i = 0 To dt.Columns.Count - 1
Dim c As System.Data.DataColumn = dt.Columns(i)
r.Offset(0, i).Value2 = c.ColumnName
Next
r = wChartSheet.Range("A2")
For Each row As System.Data.DataRow In dt.Rows
For i = 0 To row.ItemArray.Count - 1
r.Offset(0, i).Value2 = row.Item(i)
Next
r = r.Offset(1)
Next
r = wChartSheet.Range("A1")
If addDataPointsToLabels Then
While r.Value <> ""
r.Value &= " " & r.Offset(1).Value
r = r.Offset(0, 1)
End While
End If
wChartWb.Close()
releaseObject(r)
releaseObject(wChartSheet)
releaseObject(wChartWb)
releaseObject(wChartData)
r = Nothing
wChartSheet = Nothing
wChartWb = Nothing
wChartData = Nothing
GC.Collect()
End Sub
The releaseObject subroutine is as follows:
Private Sub releaseObject(ByVal obj As Object)
Try
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(obj)
obj = Nothing
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString)
obj = Nothing
End Try
End Sub
And here's the crash report:

You need to Activate the Word ChartData object to begin the inter-process communication between Word and Excel.
The example below is a simplified demonstration of code pattern and contains no error handling. This example also demonstrates releasing out of scope COM objects via the garbage collector. See this answer for more discussion on this COM clean-up procedure.
