How to Fix the Expected End of Statement Compile Error in VBA

Dealing with errors in programming can often lead to frustration, especially when working with VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). One common error that may arise is the Expected end of statement, which can disrupt your workflow and cause confusion. In this post, we'll explore this issue, particularly when inputting a formula into a cell using a variable from a userform, and what you need to do to fix it.

Understanding the Problem

Imagine that you're using VBA to create a userform where a user can input a number. This number, upon submission, is used to generate a table on a new Excel sheet, and you want to inform the user of the total number of rows in that table. Here's a snippet of code that demonstrates your intention:

The intention is clear, but as you're running this snippet, you encounter an error, specifically an Expected end of statement. This error can halt your code execution, and it’s crucial to understand where it comes from.

Pinpointing the Issue

The problem arises in the line where you're attempting to set the formula for cell C1. Specifically, the way you're concatenating the important parts of the formula is incorrect. You've omitted the necessary operator, which is leading to the compile error.

The critical part causing the issue is located here:

Notice that we've reached the end of the string, but the line is not properly constructed due to a missing operator before closing the string. This can easily lead to confusion while debugging and is a common pitfall in VBA.

The Solution

To resolve this compile error, you need to ensure that you properly concatenate the variable that holds the number of rows. Adding an & operator after Qnum can fix it. Here’s the corrected line of code:

With this adjustment, the formula now correctly concatenates the string and the variable together to form a proper formula for the Excel cell.

Summary

In summary, when working with dynamic formulas in VBA, it’s crucial to be mindful of string concatenation. Here’s a quick recap of the steps to correct the Expected end of statement error:

Identify the line of code causing the error.

Check the concatenation of strings and variables.

Add the necessary operator (&) where required.

Now, you can confidently proceed with your project without the fear of stumbling upon compilation errors in your VBA code. Happy coding!
