I am recording a macro to automatically generate the lines of code. After I start the macro and stopped recording, I check the code. Immediately, I receive a "Syntax Error".
This was a recorded macro, why would it generate a wrong code?
The code below is exactly how it was recorded.
I have Excel 2016 in WindoWs 10.
Thank you

Your post does not comply with Rule 2 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code.
Posting code between [CODE]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, it also maintains VBA formatting.

This makes absolutely no sense.
Explain the steps you took to get to this result.
Avoid using Select, Selection and Activate in your code. Use With ... End With instead.

Hello - Yes totally agree. Something strange is happening.
I am simply recording a macro - The macro selects a table and filter the data based on certain criteria. My concern is that the macro is recording with a syntax error exactly as the code I posted. If you attempt to run the code again, it throws an error. I am just confused why the macro generates a bad code.
Please see attached snapshot of recorded macro.MacroError.jpg
Can you post an example file with desensitized data.
Explain clearly the steps you take.
I have attached a sample file. Please check recorded macro.
I simply selected cell A1, scrolled to right and then down, then filtered column T for "BUY". Stopped macro recording.
Thanks
This should do the trick.

Hello - I am not looking for trick. I am very concerned to why would a macro record with a wrong syntax.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
When I record those actions for the first part, I get this:
It looks as though a Replace All has removed the word "Selection". I can't imagine what would cause that. Have you edited this code, or edited earlier code and used a Replace All?Please Login or Register to view this content.

The only thing is that this is a new computer I am working on with a new Office. Everything works fine if I use a different computer. I am not sure...
What keystrokes did you use when you recorded that macro? I can't repeat it.
control+shift + right arrow/down arrow
I am having this same exact problem. Did anyone ever find a solution for this?
