Question

Here is my code, I am attempting, which works BTW on a PC, but not on a Mac, to run this code and have an excel sheet created, named, add a tab, change the color of said tabs, change the name of said tabs, and then transpose the data while maintaining the format of the cells and width and height of the cells to the new worksheet.

This works, on a PC…. but when I get onto a Mac, it doesn’t.

I go into References, and this is what I see.

I see Ref Edit Control, and Microsoft Scripting Runtime are missing. I disabled both, and the script gives me an error here still:

wbBK2.SaveAs Dir & Application.PathSeparator & "Open Order Report -" & Format(Date, "mm-dd-yyyy") & ".xlsx"

The error happens at the (Date, "mm-dd-yyyy") Specifically the Date section. I can’t figure out why this is happening honestly. If someone can peruse this and give me an answer and a solution it be greatly appreciated.

The error I get is an Error '9 Subscript Out Of Range I can’t see a reason why this error only shows up on a Mac, and not a PC.

Answer 1

the MISSING references are what are causing the problems. Remove the checkmarks there, and the basic stuff like date will start working again. If those references are critical to the code you are running, you will have to search out the Mac equivalents

More about references – normally resolving “Missing” fixes it, but, from here

What you’re describing is typical of corrupted references. This can
be caused by a referenced file being a different version or in a different
location between the machine on which the code was developed, and the
client machines. Our company also tries to keep all the machines configured
the same way, but I’ve found it’s essentially impossible to manage.

Open any code module (or open the Debug Window, using Ctrl-G, provided you
haven’t selected the “keep debug window on top” option). Select Tools |
References from the menu bar. Examine all of the selected references.

If any of the selected references have “MISSING:” in front of them, unselect
them, and back out of the dialog. If you really need the reference(s) you
just unselected (you can tell by doing a Compile All Modules), go back in
and reselect them.

If none have “MISSING:”, select an additional reference at random, back out
of the dialog, then go back in and unselect the reference you just added. If
that doesn’t solve the problem, try to unselect as many of the selected
references as you can (Office may not let you unselect them all), back out
of the dialog, then go back in and reselect the references you just
unselected. (NOTE: write down what the references are before you delete
them, because they’ll be in a different order when you go back in)

Yes, disambigulating as VBA.xxxx will work, since Excel no longer has to
look through all of the references.
