Resolving the Type Mismatch Error in Excel VBA Autofilter

If you work with Excel VBA often, you may encounter various errors, one of the most common being the Type Mismatch error. This can be particularly frustrating when it arises during automation processes like filtering data across multiple sheets.

In this post, we will address a specific situation where a Type Mismatch error occurs while applying an autofilter based on criteria stored in a different sheet. We’ll break down the problem and lead you through a clear solution to get your code running smoothly.

Understanding the Problem

The challenge you're facing involves filtering data from a "Combined" sheet based on criteria specified in a "PercentageSetter" sheet. Let's summarize the components:

Sheets involved:

Combined: Contains columns Scrip and Allocation %.

PercentageSetter: Contains columns Scrip, Min %, and Max %.

The goal is to display only those records in the "Combined" sheet where:

The Scrip matches with that in the "PercentageSetter".

The Allocation % is between Min % and Max %, inclusive.

The error arises when you try to filter the data with the following line in your code:

Here, the use of Application.Transpose in combination with Criteria1 and Criteria2 may lead to mismatches in data types, causing the Type Mismatch error.

Step-by-Step Solution

To effectively filter the data without running into the Type Mismatch error, we will employ a more manual approach using nested loops. This allows us to check each condition systematically. Here's a breakdown of the revised code:

1. Define Worksheets and Variables

Begin by setting up your worksheets and initializing variables for loops.

2. Determine Last Rows

Next, identify the last rows for both sheets so that we know the range of data to process:

3. Prepare for Filtering

Disable screen updating to improve performance and clear any existing filters:

4. Iterate Through Rows

Use nested loops to check each row in the "Combined" sheet against the criteria in the "PercentageSetter" sheet.

5. Re-enable Screen Updating

Finally, turn screen updating back on to reflect the changes.

Conclusion

By implementing this approach, you can effectively bypass the Type Mismatch error while empowering your Excel sheet with accurate filtering capabilities. This not only makes your code robust but also enhances its readability.

Remember, while automating tasks in Excel, always ensure data types are compatible and consider iterating through data when dealing with complex filtering conditions.

Feel free to try this code in your Excel environment and adjust as necessary for your specific data structure. Happy coding!
