Run time error '1004' Unable to get the Match propertyof the WorksheetFunction class

Question

In my macro, I have the following code :

i = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(str_accrual, Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)), 0)

Answer 1

I was getting this error intermittently. Turns out, it happened when I had a different worksheet active.

As the docs for Range say,

When it's used without an object qualifier (an object to the left of the period), the Range property returns a range on the active sheet.

So, to fix the error you add a qualifier:

Sheet1.Range
