Vba excel user defined type not defined что это - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

I’m getting the above error when trying to execute this macros. I’m pretty new to Macros and coding in general so please forgive the ignorance.

Sub DeleteEmptyRows()

Dim oTable As Table, oRow As Row, _
TextInRow As Boolean, i As Long

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For Each oTable In ActiveDocument.Tables
    For Each oRow In oTable.Rows

        TextInRow = False

        For i = 2 To oRow.Cells.Count
            If Len(oRow.Cells(i).Range.Text) > 2 Then
                'end of cell marker is actually 2 characters
                TextInRow = True
                Exit For
            End If
        Next

        If TextInRow = False Then
            oRow.Delete
        End If
    Next
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Your error is caused by these:

Dim oTable As Table, oRow As Row,

These types, Table and Row are not variable types native to Excel. You can resolve this in one of two ways:

Include a reference to the Microsoft Word object model. Do this from Tools | References, then add reference to MS Word. While not strictly necessary, you may like to fully qualify the objects like Dim oTable as Word.Table, oRow as Word.Row. This is called early-binding.
Alternatively, to use late-binding method, you must declare the objects as generic Object type: Dim oTable as Object, oRow as Object. With this method, you do not need to add the reference to Word, but you also lose the intellisense assistance in the VBE.

I have not tested your code but I suspect ActiveDocument won’t work in Excel with method #2, unless you properly scope it to an instance of a Word.Application object. I don’t see that anywhere in the code you have provided. An example would be like:

Sub DeleteEmptyRows()
Dim wdApp as Object
Dim oTable As Object, As Object, _
TextInRow As Boolean, i As Long

Set wdApp = GetObject(,"Word.Application")

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For Each oTable In wdApp.ActiveDocument.Tables

I am late for the party. Try replacing as below, mine worked perfectly-
«DOMDocument» to «MSXML2.DOMDocument60»
«XMLHTTP» to «MSXML2.XMLHTTP60»

Sub DeleteEmptyRows()  

    Worksheets("YourSheetName").Activate
    On Error Resume Next
    Columns("A").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.Delete

End Sub

The following code will delete all rows on a sheet(YourSheetName) where the content of Column A is blank.

EDIT: User Defined Type Not Defined is caused by «oTable As Table» and «oRow As Row». Replace Table and Row with Object to resolve the error and make it compile.

Are you sitting there staring at this error on your VBA screen and getting frustrated? No worries, we shall fix it.

But before deep diving into the root cause and solution to fix this error, let’s understand the correct procedure for using an object in our code. It will ease the debugging process.

For this example, let’s look at a Dictionary object.

DICTIONARY in VBA:

A DICTIONARY is an object similar to the VBA COLLECTION object with the following differences:

The values of the keys can be updated or changed later and
The key / item value can easily be checked for existence without completely iterating through all the items. This also helps to retrieve values easily.

If you’re a beginner, just imagine that this object is a real time dictionary where the keys are the words and items are the respective definitions. As in a dictionary, in the VBA object we do not need to iterate through all the keys to find the value of one specific key.

And just like any other object in VBA, we can use a dictionary object by adding the corresponding reference through Tools menu. Declaration and definition of objects can be done through early or late binding methods per the developer’s convenience.

Resolving the Error

The error in the title is a compile time error that is encountered when you compile the code.

Analyze the meaning and “ROOT CAUSE” of the error:

Let us split and read the error to understand it better.

User-defined type | not defined

First, let’s try to understand we have encountered the error because something is

“not defined”.

A possible reason for the error to occur is that you are utilizing the early binding method to declare and define the object, but the required reference has not been added.

Refer to the sample code below to understand the difference between early and late binding.

Late binding:

' Create a dictionary object using the late binding method.
    Dim obdict As Object
    Set obdict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

Early binding:

' Create a dictionary object using the early binding method.
    Dim obdict As New Scripting.Dictionary

Solution:

Try one of the following steps to resolve the error:

Method 1

Maybe VBA doesn’t understand that you have defined the object. In VBA, you need to add the respective reference for the object to let the language know that you have properly defined it.

Goto the menu Tools-> References
Select the library “Microsoft Scripting Runtime.” (This varies depending on the object used. Here the same dictionary object is considered for explanation purposes
Click on the “OK” button and close the dialog
Now you can compile the code and see that the error doesn’t appear anymore

Note: All this is NOT mandatory if you are following “late binding” method.

Method 2

Use the late binding method where you declare a generic object first, then define its type. This does not require any reference.

Syntax:

Dim <variable> As Object

Set <variable> = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

Example for an Excel sheet object:

Dim ExcelSheet As Object

Set ExcelSheet = CreateObject("Excel.Sheet")

Example for a dictionary object:

'Example of creating a dictionary object

Dim odict As Object

Set odict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

Video Example

The video below shows how to resolve the error using each of the two methods above.

You can create your own data types in Visual Basic, but they must be defined first in a Type…End Type statement or in a properly registered object library or type library. This error has the following causes and solutions:

You tried to declare a variable or argument with an undefined data type or you specified an unknown class or object.

Use the Type statement in a module to define a new data type. If you are trying to create a reference to a class, the class must be visible to the project. If you are referring to a class in your program, you must have a class module of the specified name in your project. Check the spelling of the type name or name of the object.
The type you want to declare is in another module but has been declared Private. Move the definition of the type to a standard module where it can be Public.
The type is a valid type, but the object library or type library in which it is defined isn’t registered in Visual Basic. Display the References dialog box, and then select the appropriate object library or type library. For example, if you don’t check the Data Access Object in the References dialog box, types like Database, Recordset, and TableDef aren’t recognized and references to them in code cause this error.

For additional information, select the item in question and press F1 (in Windows) or HELP (on the Macintosh).

user-defined type not defined — эта ошибка возникает тогда из Excel должен создаться документ отчета у Word, а при запуске на исполнение на первой строчке нижнего примера возникает ошибка.
Вот фрагмент (сам код большой и это пример из книжки). Помогите пожалуйста разобраться в чем ошибка и как ее устранить?

Dim oWord As Word.Application
Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oWord.Visible = True

Заранее благодарна!!!

Кстати, если уж исправлять ошибки книжек, то можно ещё и так:

Visual Basic

1 2	Dim oWord As New Word.Application oWord.Visible = True

Но! Сперва подключите библиотеку Ворда в Tools->References!
