    Counting rows with active sheet problem

    Hi

    Can't seem to get the row counting thing to work with ActiveSheet.

    This is what I have:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    to summarize, I have a workbook that generates a new sheet after the last one, names it then adds filtered data. On a different sheet I have all the workings out to produce a graph, fairly standard stuff I think. But I can't seem to use the new sheet, I have set a global variable (CurrentWS) as a worksheet so that it can be used in the whole module, and that seems fine elsewhere. But in this one line to simply count all the rows in that sheet, I get a runtime error 13, type mismatch.

    So I have substituted CurrentWS for active sheet sheet and that doesn't work either. The code above is confusing me, the first line assigning variable Last, uses the data dump sheet that I have named in the sheet properties as Data, and this works fine, then second line using active sheet, when I have the latest sheet active with enough data on it to produce a result fails. Can any one spot my error please?

    Kind regards

    Rob

    Still get runtime error 13 type mismatch.

    Googling type mismatch gets that there is a mismatch in variable type, if this is the case, what does "count" actually return if it is not an integer?

    You need to check if you are working on the active sheet. I do not see any error on the code I have provided you.
    The line could work in any sheet. If the sheet is blank, it still returns 1.

    runtime error 13 type mismatch.
    Option Explicit
    produce a graph
    is it a Chart I think you need to do ActiveWorkSheet
