1. Check the Syntax

Ensure you are using the correct syntax for the function or method. For example, if you're using the Left function to extract a substring from a string, make sure you provide the correct arguments:

vba

Dim result As String

result = Left("Hello World", 5)  ' Correct usage

2. Verify Argument Types and Numbers

Check that you are passing the right number of arguments and that they are of the correct type. The Left function in VBA takes two arguments: the string you want to extract from and the number of characters you want to extract.

3. Example of Correct Usage

Here is a correct example of using the Left function:

vba

Dim myString As String

myString = "Example String"

Dim result As String

' Correct usage

result = Left(myString, 7)  ' This will set result to "Example"

4. Check for Custom Functions or Misnamed Properties

If you have defined a custom function named Left or are using an object property that conflicts with the built-in Left function, you might encounter this error. Ensure you are not unintentionally shadowing built-in functions with custom names.

5. Check for Typos or Syntax Errors

Ensure there are no typos or syntax errors in your code. Sometimes, the error message can be misleading, and the actual problem might be a simple typo.

6. Example of Common Mistake

A common mistake might be forgetting to provide the second argument:

Dim result As String

result = Left("Hello World")  ' Error: Wrong number of arguments

In this case, the Left function requires two arguments: the string and the number of characters to extract.

By checking these aspects, you should be able to resolve the "wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment" error. If you provide a specific code snippet where you're encountering this issue, I can offer more tailored advice!

The Ultimate solution - Back to basics:

Simply create a formula that comprise the entire value.
