method range of object _global failed in excel macro

Question

This is my code for finding a value in excel.if Paint Shop is not found then it will get the method range of object _global failed. I\'m new to excel m

Answer 1

To handle this scenario, try this:

Dim myvalue

On Error Resume Next
myvalue = WorksheetFunction.Match("Paint Shop", Range(col & x, col & y), 0)
On Error Goto 0

If Not IsEmpty(myvalue) Then
   paint = myvalue
Else
   paint = 2000
End If

You incorporate Error Handling routine OERN to check if the worksheet function fails.
If it does, myvalue will not be initialized and you can check if it is empty or not.
Also take note that i declared myvalue as Variant data type.
Reason is for IsEmpty to evaluate it correctly.
