Excel VBA Overflow Error

[Bina]

Hello,

I am facing a problem With Excel , Here is Original problem on the basis of a simplified example my file contains two columns:
- Column A contains three amounts total figure in line 5. This column contains the values for the unity that we do not want to show to the reader / user;
- Column B contains the same amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand. The contents of this column is visible .

However, the total point for the 2nd column is 4 then it should be 3 if we refer to the contents of cells B2 to B4. ,also sometime i get vba overflow Error , can you tell me how can I solve this problem

To solve the problem described above, I wrote the following function for use as a formula in your Excel sheet (ie in cell B5 of example):

Function getRoundedSum (rngFigures As Range, strRndType As String) As Integer Function getRoundedSum (rngFigures As Range, strRndType As String) As Integer 

Dim i As Integer 
Sun lngTotal As Long 
Sun strSubPgm, strFormat As String 
Sun varFiguresArray () As Variant 

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler 

strSubPgm = 'Function' getRoundedSum () " 
getRoundedSum = 0 
lngTotal = 0 

varFiguresArray () = rngFigures.Value 
For i = 1 To UBound (varFiguresArray) 
Select Case UCase (strRndType) 
Case "T" 
strFormat "#,## = 0 " 
Case "M" 
strFormat "#,## = 0,, " 
Case Else 
Exit Function 
End Select 
lngTotal = lngTotal + Format (CLng (varFiguresArray (i, 1)), strFormat) 
Next i 
getRoundedSum = lngTotal 
ErrorHandler: 
Call handleError (Err.Number, Err.Description, strSubPgm) 
End Function 



Dim i As Integer 
Sun lngTotal As Long 
Sun strSubPgm, strFormat As String 
Sun varFiguresArray () As Variant 

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler 

strSubPgm = 'Function' getRoundedSum () " 
getRoundedSum = 0 
lngTotal = 0 

varFiguresArray () = rngFigures.Value 
For i = 1 To UBound (varFiguresArray) 
Select Case UCase (strRndType) 
Case "T" 
strFormat "#,## = 0 " 
Case "M" 
strFormat "#,## = 0,, " 
Case Else 
Exit Function 
End Select 
lngTotal = lngTotal + Format (CLng (varFiguresArray (i, 1)), strFormat) 
Next i 
getRoundedSum = lngTotal 
ErrorHandler: 
Call handleError (Err.Number, Err.Description, strSubPgm) 
End Function

This works perfectly as long as the final total return in the Excel sheet is less than 32,768, which (is it a coincidence ...?) corresponds to 2 Power 15 (2 ^ 15). Where appropriate (ie total being greater than or equal to 32,768), the error 6 (Overflow) is generated. Does anyone have an explanation and a track that I can follow to resolve this problem of "Overflow"? In advance thank you for your comments and help!

it is not an accident and that's normal. you are declaring your function as "whole":

Function getRoundedSum (rngFigures As Range, strRndType As String) As Integer

storage space for your getRoundedSum variable is limited to 2 bytes (= 16 bit) you can not exceed ± (2 ^ 15) -1 values is between -32 768 and 32 767. declaring your function like this Long reserving it is ± 4 bytes (2 ^ 31) -1 possibilities (from -2 147 483 648 2 147 483 647), you should be able to leave it there

Thank you for the super-fast response and clear! After the change of type Long, actually it works perfectly. I am somewhat ashamed for not having detected the source of my problem on my own. Like what: when analyzing something too long, we no longer noticed the most obvious elements. Many thanks again!

Best regards.
