Excel VBA to Summarize Data Based on Dynamic Date Filtering - Unexpected 'Object Required' scenarios
I recently switched to I'm optimizing some code but I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple... I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer... I need some guidance on I'm building a feature where I am trying to create a VBA macro that summarizes sales data from a worksheet based on dynamic start and end dates specified in two separate cells... The goal is to extract the total sales that fall between these dates, but I keep working with an 'Object Required' behavior when I try to execute my code. Here is the relevant portion of my code: ```vba Sub SummarizeSalesData() Dim ws As Worksheet Dim startDate As Date Dim endDate As Date Dim totalSales As Double Dim rng As Range Dim cell As Range ' Assuming the dates are entered in cells A1 (start) and A2 (end) startDate = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value endDate = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A2").Value Set ws = Worksheets("SalesData") Set rng = ws.Range("B2:B100") ' Sales amounts are in column B totalSales = 0 For Each cell In rng If cell.Offset(0, -1).Value >= startDate And cell.Offset(0, -1).Value <= endDate Then totalSales = totalSales + cell.Value End If Next cell Worksheets("Summary").Range("A1").Value = totalSales End Sub ``` I have verified that the cells A1 and A2 contain valid date values. However, the behavior occurs when I try to set the `startDate` and `endDate`. Also, it seems that the macro doesn't run properly if either date is left empty. I've tried adding checks to see if the cells are empty, but nothing seems to resolve the scenario. Any suggestions on how to fix the 'Object Required' behavior and make the code more robust to handle empty date fields would be greatly appreciated! My development environment is Windows 10. For reference, this is a production service. I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Vba. Thanks for any help you can provide! I'm developing on CentOS with Vba. Any feedback is welcome! I'm using Vba latest in this project. Any pointers in the right direction? I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 using the latest version of Vba. This is happening in both development and production on Ubuntu 22.04. Any feedback is welcome!
