Next without For
A Next statement must have a preceding For statement that matches. This error has the following cause and solution:
- A Next statement is used without a corresponding For statement. Check other control structures within the For. Next structure and verify that they are correctly matched. For example, an If without a matching End If inside the For. Next structure generates this error.

Next Without For Error VBA
I have the following code and VBA is giving me a «Next Without For» Error when I definitely have both. I know that VBA can list errors that are not exactly the same as what it says they are, but I can’t find any other closed loops. If someone could check this out, that would be awesome! Thanks:

Your problem is you are doing If. Then. If. Then. instead of If. Then. ElseIf. Then.
Every IF statement needs to be terminated with an ENDIF .
Within the FOR/NEXT loop you have 4 IFs , one ELSE and one ENDIF this needs to be changed to:
I think the nested If statements inside For r = 1 to c. don’t close properly? Generally, each If also requires an End If , and you only have one End If statement. This is causing the compiler to reach the Next r statement while it’s still «inside» an If block, thus the error raises, and makes sense.
You may look in to using a Select Case switch instead of nesting several If/Then statements. In my experience, they’re more easy to interpret when you’re debugging. Something like:
Note: You may want to omit the r = r+1 unless you’re intending to skip every other record, the Next statement automatically increments r by a value of 1 unless otherwise specified.
If you do intend to skip every other record, you should do For r = 1 to c Step 2 and likewise omit the r = r+1 .
Next without for vba что за ошибка
The “Next Without For” Compile Error is a very common compile-time error in Excel VBA. It implies that a Next statement must always have a preceding For statement that matches it. If a Next statement is used without a corresponding For statement, this error is generated.
Let us look at some most common causes of the error and way to fix and avoid them.
Example 1: If statement without a corresponding “End If” statement
Every If statement (and If Else Statement) must have a corresponding End If statement along with it. As you can see in the above code, End If is missing after the Else block, causing the error. The right way to do it is
Example 2: Incorrect sequence of End If and Next statements
Here, the End If statement is not placed correctly causing overlapping as shown below:
The entire If statement (including, If, Else and End If statements), must be placed withing the For…Next block as shown below
Example 3: With statement has a corresponding End With Statement missing
Just like an If statement, the With statement should also have a corresponding End With statement, without which error will be thrown. The working example:
Example 4: Overlapping For and If Else statement
Say, in the example below, you want to do some processing only if a condition is false. Else you want to continue with the next counter of the For loop
Note: as in other programming languages, VBA does not have a continue option for a loop. When the control of the program reaches the first “Next counter” statement after the If statement — it finds that there is a Next statement within the If statement. However, there is no corresponding For statement within this If Block. Hence, the error.
So, you can use one of the two solutions below:
Simply remove the “next” statement after If
Not the if condition and place your code there. Else condition is not required at all
The bottom line is that the “If, Else, End If statement block” must be completely within the For loop.
Avoiding the Next without For error by using standard coding practices
The best way to avoid this error is to follow some standard practices while coding.
1. Code indentation: Indenting your code not only makes it more readable, but it helps you identify if a loop / if statement / with statement are not closed properly or if they are overlapping. Each of your If statements should align with an End If, each For statement with a Next, each With statement with an End With and each Select statement with an End Select
2. Use variable name with Next: Though the loop variable name is not needed with a next statement, it is a good practice to mention it with the Next statement.
This is particularly useful when you have a large number of nested for Loops.
3. As soon as you start a loop, write the corresponding end statement immediately. After that you can code the remaining statements within these two start and end statements (after increasing the indentation by one level).
If you follow these best practices, it is possible to completely and very easily avoid this error in most cases.
VBA Compile Error: Next without For?
I'm puzzled on this as I do not understand where the error is comming from.
I have a macro that is pulling information between worksheets, but the For Next statements appear clean. However, when I run, I get the [Compile Error: Next without For] message
'Let's say we have (4) worksheets within the workbook
ShtNum = Sheets.Count
' We'll start pulling data off Sheet2 to start
For Loop1 = 2 to ShtNum
Sheets(Loop1).Select
Sheets(Loop1).Activate
' Let's get some data
Set d = Cells.find(What:="Created", LookAt:=xlWhole)
CrtDate = Cells(2, d.Column)
' Switch back to the 1st sheet and place the data in specific areas.
Sheets(1).Select
Sheets(1).Activate
Cells(3, 2) = CrtDate
Selection.NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy"
'go Color the Cells
GoSub colorbrtyel
' Get additional Data on other sheets.
' Return back to Sheet1 and place the data.
'do a small loop within a Loop
for I= 2 to last row
'format cells
