I am trying to scrap a list of href link from a webpage, and then trying to scrap the value out of it. I am now facing the problem which the code only can handle up to 5 links. If the links more than 5, it will show runtime error on random line.
I am extracting the href link from these webpage:http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/#/?category=SH&sub_category=all&alphabetical=All&date_from=28/09/2018

Discussion:
The problem is likely, at least from my testing, due to one of the links not having the table Details of changes
, so the numberOfRows
variable is set to 0
, and this line:
ReDim results(1 To numberOfRows, 1 To 7)
fails with an index error as you have (1 To 0, 1 To 7)
.
Using this link in A1 there are 30 URLs retrieved. This retrieved link does not have that table whereas the others do.
You have a choice of how to handle this scenario. Here are some example options:
Option 1: Only process the page if the numberOfRows > 0
. This is the example I give.
Option 2: Have a Select Case
with numberOfRows
and if Case 0
then handle page in one way, Case Else
handle as normal.
Note:
1) You also want to reset the status bar with:
Application.StatusBar = False
2) I temporarily fixed the links range for testing with:
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:A31")

Example handling using test of numberOfRows > 0:
