    VBA Crashes with basic macro

    Hi,

    New to VBA so forgive the ignorance...I have the attached that is supposed to be producing two charts from a number of named ranges. I've commented off chart two so as to isolate the first chart. Both of these charts worked this morning so I'm not sure what happened. Can someone please see the attached and advise on what might be the issue?

    Thanks!

    Code:
    Sub Relative_Calculation()
    
    Dim BRValue As Name
    Dim BRMomentum As Name
    Dim BRQuality As Name
    Dim BRYield As Name
    
    Dim PRValue As Name
    Dim PRMomentum As Name
    Dim PRQuality As Name
    Dim PRYield As Name
    
    
    ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="BRValue", RefersTo:="=Test!$D$13:$O$13-Test!$R$13"
    ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="BRMomentum", RefersTo:="=Test!$D$14:$O$14-Test!$R$14"
    ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="BRQuality", RefersTo:="=Test!$D$15:$O$15-Test!$R$15"
    ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="BRYield", RefersTo:="=Test!$D$16:$O$16-Test!$R$16"
    
    ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="PRValue", RefersTo:="=Test!$D$13:$O$13-Test!$S$13"
    ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="PRMomentum", RefersTo:="=Test!$D$14:$O$14-Test!$S$14"
    ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="PRQuality", RefersTo:="=Test!$D$15:$O$15-Test!$S$15"
    ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="PRYield", RefersTo:="=Test!$D$16:$O$16-Test!$S$16"
    
    
    
    
    'Defining Chart Objects for three charts (IR/SR)
    
    Set IR = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Add(Left:=300, Width:=300, Top:=10, Height:=300)

    Re: VBA Crashes with basic macro

    also, I was attempting to add code tags to the above. How do I do that?

    Re: VBA Crashes with basic macro

    If you can still edit your post, you can place the tags like this, substituting square brackets for the parentheses:

    (code)
    ' code goes here
    (/code)

    Or click the "#" symbol above the text editing box.

    Re: VBA Crashes with basic macro

    Welcome to VBForums

    Thread moved from the 'VB.Net' forum to the 'Office Development/VBA' forum.


    I've fixed the code tags... as jdc2000 said, they should be like this: [code] code here [/code]

    VBA Crashes with basic macro
    does this mean that the macro stops with an error, or excel completely closes or stops and has to be closed?

    have you restarted excel? windows?, has your windows version done an update?

    if you get an error, what is the error number and message?
    if the macro stops with an error and you get a stop /debug message, what line is the macro at when selecting debug?
    if excel totally stops you will need to step through the macro one line at a time to find which line causes the crash
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    Maybe good if you attach your Excel file for test

    Re: VBA Crashes with basic macro

    You said it was working this morning..?
    What did you change? Coding? Location of xls? Changed a named range? Or deleted one?

    BOFH Now, BOFH Past, Information on duplicates

    Feeling like a fly on the inside of a closed window (Thunk!)
    If I post a lot, it is because I am bored at work! ;D Or stuck...
