The error hander is still active when the second error occurs, and therefore the second error is not trapped by the On Error statement. When the first error is raised, execution transfers to the line following Err1.

For example, the following code will not work properly: On Error GoTo Err1: On Error GoTo Line tells VBA to go to a labeled line of code when an error is encountered. You can't use the On Error Goto : statement merely skip over lines. This code should be designed either to fix the problem and resume execution in the main code block or to terminate execution of the procedure. This site has a good description of the problem:Īn error handling block, also called an error handler, is a section of code to which execution is tranferred via a On Error Goto : statement. This clearly delineates error handling from regular code and ensures that the currently executing error handler finishes before you try to set up another handler. That means that subsequent error handlers are not allowed until you resume from the current one.Ī better architecture would be: Dim m圜ol As ListColumn With the code as shown, you're actually still considered to be within the error handling routine when you strike the next statement. To reiterate, the error is thrown on the second round of the loop, at the statement myDate = CDate(m圜ol.Name)Ĭan anyone explain why the On Error statement stops working? Another alternative error handling solution is using labels at each point in long procedure. Erl displays the last label before the error.
However, when the second column's header is 'assigned' to the date-type variable, the macro encounters an error even though it is within an error-handling block Dim m圜ol As ListColumn In this post you are going to find out a way of handling errors in your code with the Erl function. Since the first three columns do not have date headers, I have tried to set the loop up so that, if there is an error assigning the header string to the date-type variable, the loop goes straight to the next column To do this I am using a foreach loop on myTable.ListColumns. I want to assign those dates, sequentially, to a Date-type variable, and then perform some operations based on the date (Typo alert, you have a 'memories' when I think you mean 'memorise or memorize'.) I think what you said there is consistent with what I think happens and on the basis that most here will understand some VBA I have tried to distill it into some VBA-style pseudo-code. Create a new file (or overwrite an existing one). The first three columns of this table have text headings, the rest of them have dates as headings. Set the name and the path of text file that will be created based on the workbook path. I'm trying to cycle through a table in excel.
