Vba excel метод range of object global failed

Mr. Mickle

Thank you for the new tip.  A new horizon….

the final SUB would be below. ( It worked nicely )

(it is case sensitive)

many many thanks

Sub RemoveWordTotal()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim i As Long
    For i = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
        Cells(i, "B") = Application.Substitute(Cells(i, "B"),"Total","")
    Next i
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The above  can also be used to replace a text instead of just blank. 
instead of "" - replace it with "New Text" !!
VERY VERSATILE CODE, Mr. Mickle.. 
FOR OTHERS WHO MIGHT FIND THIS USEFUL:
maybe called as function (BELOW)  >  Call ReplaceSomeText("Total", "B", "")
"Total" (mWRD) = the word within the cell to be replaced
"B" (mcol) = the column referenced
"" (newTXT) = blank or any text to replace mWRD

Sub ReplaceSomeText(mWRD As String, mcol As String, newTXT As String)
   Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   Dim i As Long
   For i = Cells(Rows.Count, mcol).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
       Cells(i, mcol) = Application.Substitute(Cells(i, mcol),mWRD, newTXT)
   Next i
   Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Let’s discuss each of them one by one…!

#1 – VBA Run Time Error 1004: That Name is already taken. Try a different One

This VBA Run Time Error 1004 in Excel mainly occurs at the time of renaming the sheet.

If a worksheet with the same name already exists but still you are assigning that name to some other worksheet. In that case, VBA will throw the run time error 1004 along with the message: “The Name is Already Taken. Try a different one.”

Solution: You can fix this error code by renaming your Excel sheet.

#2 – VBA Run Time Error 1004: Method “Range” of object’ _ Global’ failed

This VBA error code mainly occurs when someone tries to access the object range with wrong spelling or which doesn’t exist in the worksheet.

Suppose, you have named the cells range as “Headings,” but if you incorrectly mention the named range then obviously you will get the Run Time Error 1004: Method “Range” of object’ _ Global’ failed error.

Solution: So before running the code properly check the name of the range.

# 3 – VBA Run Time Error 1004: Select Method of Range class failed

This error code occurs when someone tries to choose the cells from a non-active sheet.

 Let’s understand with this an example:

Suppose you have selected cells from A1 to A5 from the Sheet1 worksheet. Whereas, your present active worksheet is Sheet2.

At that time it’s obvious to encounter Run Time Error 1004: Select Method of Range class failed.

Solution: To fix this, you need to activate the worksheet before selecting cells of it.

#4 – VBA Runtime Error 1004 method open of object workbooks failed

This specific run time Error 1004 arises when someone tries to open an Excel workbook having the same workbook name that is already open.

In that case, it’s quite common to encounter VBA Runtime Error 1004 method open of object workbooks failed.

Solution: Well to fix this, first of all close the already opened documents having a similar name.

#5 – VBA Runtime Error 1004 Method Sorry We Couldn’t Find:

The main reason behind the occurrence of this VBA error in Excel is due to renaming, shifting, or deletion of the mentioned path.

The reason behind this can be the wrong assigned path or file name with extension.

When your assigned code fails to fetch a file within your mentioned folder path. Then you will definitely get the runtime Error 1004 method. Sorry, and We couldn’t find it.

Solution: make a proper check across the given path or file name.

#6 – VBA Runtime Error 1004 Activate method range class failed

Behind this error, the reason can be activating the cells range without activating the Excel worksheet.

This specific error is quite very similar to the one which we have already discussed above i.e Run Time Error 1004: Select Method of Range class failed.

Solution: To fix this, you need to activate your excel sheet first and then activate the sheet cells. However, it is not possible to activate the cell of a sheet without activating the worksheet.

Hello everyone, I have this error in my code (red part). I guess it´s a just a little mistake, but I can´t find it. Maybe someone can help me.

It is made on CommandButton for sort by two keys and I remake it from my professor’s code (and change name of lists ect.) and insert some condions, but it doesn’t work.

Where cmbx_klic1 is ComboBox for first key and cmbx_klic2 is ComboBox for second key for names by what you can sort it. And optb_vzest_1 is OptionButton for ascending for first key and optb_vzest_2 for ascending for second key. The last is check_razeni — CheckBox for not haveing one key for sorting, but two keys. And the list have really the same name as the part of the list.

Here the Code so far:

Private Sub cmdb_razeni_Click()

Dim smer1 As Byte, smer2 As Byte

    If optb_vzest_1 Then

        smer1 = xlAscending

    Else

        smer1 = xlDescending

    End If

     If optb_vzest_2 Then

            smer2 = xlAscending

        Else

            smer2 = xlDescending

        End If

    Sheets(«data»).Select

    Range(«C6»).Select

    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(«data»).Sort.SortFields.Clear

    If check_razeni = False Then

        ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(«data»).Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range(cmbx_klic1), _

        SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=smer1, DataOption:=xlSortNormal

        Range(cmbx_klic1).Select

    Else

       ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(«data»).Sort.SortFields.Clear

       ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(«data»).Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range(cmbx_klic1), _

        SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=smer1, DataOption:=xlSortNormal

        ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(«data»).Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range(cmbx_klic2), _

        SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=smer2, DataOption:=xlSortNormal

    End If

If cmbx_klic1 = cmbx_klic2 Then

        MsgBox «Oba zadané klíče jsou shodné. Zvolte odlišné.»: Exit Sub

End If

   With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(«data»).Sort

        .SetRange Range(«data»)

        .Header = xlYes

        .MatchCase = False

        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom

        .SortMethod = xlPinYin

        .Apply

    End With

    Range(cmbx_klic1).Select

    frm_menu.Hide

End Sub

Thanks a lot to everyone, who will try to help me.

Доброе утро всем!

Подскажите, сделал макрос, но выдаёт такую ошибку, как пофиксить? в чём может быть ошибка?
Причём для таблицы, под которую делал макрос всё работает, вставил почти такую же таблицу и по ней уже даёт ошибку.

Ошибку выдаёт в этой строке:

Range(«Таблица1[[#Headers],[visited_from]]»).Activate

Sub FULL_WORK()
'
' FULL_WORK
' 
'

'
    Range("A:A,B:B,C:C,E:E").Select
    Range("Таблица1[[#Headers],[visited_from]]").Activate
    Selection.Copy
    Sheets("Лист2").Select
    Range("A1").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    Rows("1:1").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
    Range("E1").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=INDEX(C[-4],MAX(IF(C[-3]=R[1]C[-3],ROW(C[-3]))))"
    Range("E1").Select
    Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("E1:E2495")
    Range("E1:E2495").Select
    Columns("E:E").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Sheets("Лист3").Select

        :=False, Transpose:=False
    Range("C1").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Columns("B:B").Select
    Application.Run "PERSONAL.XLSB!URL_FULL_CLEAR"
    Range("C1").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(C[-1],C[-2],1,0)"
    Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("C1:C5000")
