Is there any way to get Excel to disallow you to enter in unique values into the same column? Like I know you can search for and delete duplicates, but I am wanting to get excel to disallow duplicates from being entered and/or give me an alert that what I just entered is a duplicate.

Is there a function in excel that alerts you if you have entered a number
(or word!) more than an agreed amount of times??
e.g. If you have agreed not to input the number 7 more than 3 times in a
selected range, but then do so, will excel inform you??
My colleague in accounts has a sheet that lists all the invoices and values and other 'accounts department things' that I know little about.
Anyway, she has to manually input all the invoices she receives onto this excel document but sometime receives duplicate invoices (& inputs them twice be accident).
Is it possible for someone with macro skills to create a macro to run in a worksheet so that if she enters a number in a given column more than once an alert box appears to tell her. I've summarised the 'rules' below*
*Can is be written so that I can edit which column the alert is based on?
[In (for example) column F is a list of invoice numbers - all unique]
If user types a number in column F that matches a number that already exists, show alert box "THERE APPEARS TO BE A DUPLICATE ENTRY IN COLUMN F"

Any further clarification, let me know i'll try to post a blank sheet if my boss lets me.
I just discovered VBA coding today and was wondering if I could use it as an audio alert. I found a couple examples online but don’t understand the coding language of excel. I have a feed link from my trading platform to excel that feeds in live data. What I would like to do is have an alert for when Range ("C4").select is >=1000 Alert Ring.wav and when Range ("C4").select is <=-1000 Alert Chimes.wav.
View 5 Replies View RelatedEach month I get a report that I process using a macro. The problem is that each month the name of the file changes and is different. When I run the macro and it crashes I have to de-bug by going through the code to change all references to the file name from the the previos run and change to the latest file name and then re-run the macro. There must be a better way.
I would like to learn the code that sees the open book and then refers to it for the run.
What is the best way to do this?
I am trying to add a sound alert to a junior athletics recording program. The date of the meetings is in column (A), results are entered in column (B) for a particular event, say 100m sprint.

I am after a code that will play a sound when a new PB or CR has been achieved. I have downloaded the sounds I want into the office media file. I am new to VB codes. Any suggestions?

existing workbook that has evolved over several years, there are bits of data spread all over the sheets and there are several sheets.
My question is. Is there a way to show/print/email an alert with a reminder message any time any of the formula cells gets changed, something like "Be aware a formula is being changed, make a note of the changes."
I entered an activex object command thing.. and now I'm not sure how to exit out of it.. it just keeps alerting errors messages like reference is not valid and other ones depending on what I type in the formula box.
I just want to remove the object, but I can't get past the error alerts.. they just keep coming every single time I click somewhere on the workbook trying to exit out of it.. so I'm not sure how to even get out of it.. I don't want to open up Task Manager to exit out of the entire program because I didn't save my workbook.

I have a worksheet with various information contained in each row and using up to columns M. Each row represents a new product and new products/rows are added weekly. In columns H is the date which is formatted like "*14/03/2007" and displays as that.
What i want to do is when the 11 months have past since the date in the cell i would like the cell colour to change to YELLOW. When 12 months have past then i need it to change to RED.
Example:
Date in cell is 18/05/2007
When date reaches 18/04/2008 i want the cell to change to YELLOW
When date reaches 18/05/2008 i want the cell to change to RED

I wanted to make a pop up alert message appear whenever the formula in a cell gives a particular output.
Before posting this i tried looking for similar posts before, but the ones found do not solve my problem. There it asks me to write the following code in VBA,
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim MyRange As String
MyRange = "A1"
If Me.Range(MyRange).Value = "Have Meeting" Then
MsgBox "Have Meeting"
End If
End Sub
But my doing so, I can not use any formula in the cell A1 or any other cell i give reference as MyRange. I will always have to physically type "Have Meeting" or any other word assigned in the above.
My macro cuts and pastes a section of one sheet over the top of each remaining sheet in the workbook. It pauses before each paste and presents a message box (relating to copying over a named range) requiring the user to manually click on "Yes" in response to the question before continuing on. How can I modify my macro so that it finishes without requiring the user to click on "yes" for each sheet. In other words, how do I get the macro to automatically answer "Yes" to the message box ??

I have several linked files to a master excel document that uses filters.
Unfortunately, if I dont remember everytime to turn off the filter before I exit the file, the other files read data incorrectly.
I could set up an alert/notification that tells me these filters are still on before I exit the file?
I am trying achieve the following. I have bracketed each part seperate part for clarity.
(if a1+b1+c1 = 10 or more), and (a2 = 10 or more) and (b2 = 10 or more) (then sound an alert) (and display the number 1 in d1) (if not ignore).
I can do parts of the formula but i am getting very very confused trying to combine them together. I am trying to make this formula work in d1.
Can anyone tell me if this is a valid piece of logic that can be represented by an excel formula.

In the attachment you will see I have two tabes called License-Equanet and License-Dell, on each row i show an expiry date.
The first sheet is called 'Due to Expire'. One month before an expiry date is reached in the licenses tab I need the information in that row to appear in the 'due to expire' tab. This will then alert me one month prior to the license expiring.
I can't get rid of the alert "Delete entire sheet row" using DisplayAlerts = False. Here is my code:

I have a vba process that develops statistics/graphical output via SQL queries of pretty large datasets. This usually takes about 2min, so I run it via a form I've build, and then go do other work or play on the net, checking and rechecking if it has completed. I do have a msgbox once the process is complete, but if i am not actively in an Excel window, I will not see it. Is there a way to force the windows taskbar to flash or something so i can see that my process is complete if i am not in an Excel window?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an excel workbook that includes data imported from a TFS query. I have a VBA macro that refreshes the TFS data, but since it behaves as though the user is clicking the "refresh" button, it prompts the user, warning that this will overwrite unsaved data.
I need to run this on a loop so that it continually refreshes and writes a status message out to a file that gets used elsewhere, but it won't work if it prompts after each loop.
Is it possible to disable this alert, defaulting to "Yes", as in overwrite? I've tried Application.DisplayAlerts = False, but that doesn't seem to cover this alert.
I have created a program to display an Alert based on a Date. I have this program enlcosed in the Workbook Open event. I need to popout this alert everyday, everytime EXCEL starts on a computer.
I had something in my mind though - I thought of plonking this program into the Workbook Open event of the Personal.xls workbook for a computer and thereby I could have achieved my requirement of popping out this alert everytime when Excel starts. However, there is one problem here. Every 3 to 5 days the dates in the workbook are going to change and I do not want the user to tamper with Personal.xls on his / her computer.
So I gave it a second thought. I created a shortcut of this workbook and placed it in the XLSTART folder for a computer and now the problem is - it opens the workbook itself rather than popping out the alert whenever Excel starts on the computer. So this would not work too.
Is there any other way I can make the alert pop out everytime I start Excel on a computer ?
Is there a way to have Excel alert me (via cell color change preferably, but another method would be fine also) upon entering a number that has already been entered on that worksheet?
The problem I have:
I have 10 columns in a worksheet that I keep track of serial numbers in for work... Sometimes someone enters the wrong serial number or doesn't update a serial number so we will have the same serial number in two different places and another agency will call us to correct our mistake, making us look inept.
I figure the best way to alert people of this input error would be to change the fill color of both, or the active, cell(s) so they could immediately begin looking into the problem.
I created a spread sheet for my four classes and their grades and at this point in the trimester, it has gotten quite long. Too long for me to visually check if a student is missing any work (which I would have recorded with either a 0 or just left blank).
