I have a table that'd I'd like to lookup things in my script based on the input. Searching this forum I found some old posts about _ExcelReadSheetToArray(). After not getting it to work, I realized that is no longer in the UDF and _Excel_Range_Read is to be used instead. I also read the _Excel_RangeFind is another method to lookup data in a table. This method seems to use Excel to run these functions, whereas _Excel_Range_Read loads the entire range as an array and autoit does the work. I'm looking at loading a 30k row csv with 3 columns. Does anyone know if either this methods are better with this amount of data? Pros/cons? I'm leaning towards the _Excel_RangeFind so Excel can just run in the background and be the "database" vs. my script holding all that data in a massive array. Or maybe there's a completely different method? Let me know your thoughts!

After AutoIt 3.3.12.0 the handling of COM errors has been "fixed". Now nested COM operations crash the script in case of an error even when there is a COM error handler. Edit: All 3 problems have been fixed in AutoIt 3.3.14.3. Here you find a fixed version of function _Excel_RangeFind. I simply removed all nestings and added the missing COM error hander: Another function that needed some modification is _Excel_BookOpen. It crashed when a workbook was opened using _Excel_BookOpen with parameter $bVisible = True, saved and then reopened. The following modification solves the problem: 2017/06/19: Another function that needed some modification is _Word_DocSaveAs. It doesn't work with Word 2013 or later as MS felt the urge to change the name of the save method from SaveAs to SaveAs2. The following modification solves the problem: Please tell me if you still have problems with this or any other function from the Excel or Word UDF!

Hi I have an issue with _ExcelRangeFind, i have a it working on another PC but on my pc i just gives me this error "d:\AutoIt3\Include\Excel.au3" (656) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.: $aResult[$iIndex][1] = $oMatch.Name.Name $aResult[$iIndex][1] = $oMatch^ ERROR I have trimmed the script to the absolute minimum. What iy should do, I give it a number, It opens an excel file, and then it reads through coloumn A and then returns an array when it finds the number in Excel. The number is in coloumn A of the Excel sheet. The versions of autoit are the same on both machines. The Excel sheet opens correctly, but it crashes on the rangefind command. I have also tried this $NavisionIDFound = _Excel_RangeFind($Movielistsheet,$NavisionID,"A1:A10000",Default,$xlWhole,True), with the same result. #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <ComboConstants.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <Array.au3> #include <File.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GuiEdit.au3> #include <GuiButton.au3> #include <GuiComboBox.au3> #include <Excel.au3> ;Includes from source dir #include <_RecFileListToArray.au3> #include <_XMLDomWrapper.au3> $MovielistExcel = "h:\Movie list.xlsm" LoadDataFromMovieListSheet() Func LoadDataFromMovieListSheet() ConsoleWrite("Load Data From MovieList Sheet" & @LF) $NavisionID = 106266 ; Create application object $ExcelAppHandle = _Excel_Open(Default,Default,Default,Default,True) If @error Then Exit MsgBox(16, "Excel UDF: _Excel_BookOpen Example", "Error creating the Excel application object." & @CRLF & "@error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended) $Movielistsheet = _Excel_BookOpen($ExcelAppHandle, $MovielistExcel, True, Default) ;~ Read the formulas of a cell range (all used cells in column A) $NavisionIDFound = _Excel_RangeFind($Movielistsheet,$NavisionID,$Movielistsheet.ActiveSheet.Usedrange.Columns("A:A"),Default,$xlWhole,True)

Cheers, Hit a snag automating some excel stuff and I think this parameter could be what I need. Unfortunately cant find any examples/instructions on how to use it. A shove in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. $iLookIn [optional] Specifies where to search. Can be any of the XLFindLookIn enumeration (default = $xlValues) Bill
