Application_defined or object-defined error - Run 1004 error

[Varun]

Folks,

I am running into application_defined or object-defined error at the PROBLEM
LINE in following code below.

I am assuming that there are more same type error in the code. Please let
me know how to get around this.

Thanks,
Varun

You have not declared what "a" and "b" are equal to, nor their data types.

Dim a As Long, b As Long

a = #?
b = #?

a and b are not defined. Set a and b to some value before the FOR loop.

In this code:

For copperRows = 1 To endrows
If Worksheets("Temp").Cells(a, b) = "Copper" Then <------PROBLEM LINE
cRow = a
cCol = b
Exit For
End If
Next copperRows

a and b have never been defined. So excel will treat them as 0's.

Maybe...

What column are you looking through to find "Copper"?

If it were column A, I would expect the code would look more like:
For copperRows = 1 To endrows
If Worksheets("Temp").Cells(CopperRows, "A") = "Copper" Then
cRow = copperrows
cCol = "A"
Exit For
End If
Next copperRows
