Application.Input Box Validation
Jul 9, 2009
I'm trying to get input from a user regarding parameters for loan calculations. I'm still very new at VBA so some of this will seem very silly, but I've been trying for hours to get this to work right and I keep fixing problems and creating more simultaneously. I've come to the conclusion that I have a fundamental misunderstanding of how this works.
This one actually works fine, but I am including it just in case I've done something less than perfect and someone can correct it.

is it posible to control the positioning of the pop-up data validation input messsage box via vba? As often it obscures the view of critical cells below.
You can manually click and drag it to a desired position manually. Mana users are not aware of that. It would be desirable to reposition it elsewhere rogramatically.

Below, both inputbox cases appear to work fine. If you enter an incorrect input on your first attempt it will offer you the option to return you to an inputbox.

I would like to use Validation to verify that the date entered in cell "B3" is a Sunday. Or do I have to go at this some other way?

I have a form that when users hit submit, the data they entered gets transfered to Access (thanks to our MVP SydneyGeek for providing me with a macro!) I want to be able to limit or control the users who sends data, by making sure they enter every information that is needed.
I have a column that has a list using Validation. How do I make certain columns required based on what they choose on the list.. if they don't fill in those columns, I don't want them to be able to click Submit, showing an error that would say "Missing Required Fields".

I am using data validation input messages for data entry tips/definitions. The data entry cells are grouped in small tables (about 5 rows X 6 columns) so when the user clicks on a cell, the data validation input message box pops up next to the active cell. This covers the adjacent cells which need to be completed as well.
If I drag the message box over to right of the input table, the messages for the other cells stay in the new location as well. However, Excel doesn't remember this location the next time the workbook is opened.
Is there a way to set the location of the message box or some other way to achieve the same objective of having text boxes pop up in a defined location when a cell is activated?

I currently have 6 cells that Have a Validation Criteria of a "List". I'm using the Input Message on the Data Validation box. I need to have this Input Message Pinned to a specific area on my worksheet. Each time that I exit and reopen the file the Input Message returns to the Area around the dropdown box. The input message is different for each of the 6 cells.

Cells A1 to A10 contain names of different cars, what i would like to do in VBA is when i select any individual cell to the right of these the name of the car appears as a message (as if i had gone DATA -> VALIDATION -> INPUT MESSAGE -> CARS NAME).
Tried positioning a Userform next to the active cell but when i scroll down the page and select a cell the userform is to far down the screen to be seen.

I have problems with setting Validation input title and message. When in column "C" I type product code, data validation of corresponding cell in column "D" changes to list of diameters allowed for that product. That works fine. But i also want to set validation message to show allowed diameters.I set it in VBA using named ranges.
But for every second line (13, 15, etc on attached file) I get an application-defined or object-defined error. The rest (14, 16 etc) works ok.

I have to input data into "ANYDATA" field. Since I need this input to be 100% accurate, I would like my operator to input it TWICE. E.g. 1st input - Obama 2nd input- Obama. Only if BOTH the entries match will the data move into ANYDATA field, else the field becomes blank once again, and the operator has to re-key twice again. In example above, if he had input 2nd time as Obame, then he will have to repeat the process. Can anyone pls help me create suitable formula/ field settings...Thx! Preferably, I would NOT like to create two dummy fields "ANYDATA1" and "ANYDATA2" with corresponding entry in "ANYDATA" if both match.
p.s. Need this to be done using MS-Excel only.

Situation: I have an Excel file with multiple worksheets. Each of these worksheets contain the same rules for data validation in a certain column (G).
Problem: If I want to add an item to the data validation lists I have to edit every single worksheet. I've tried making a seperate worksheet containing data validation items and using that as the source for the data validation rule, but Excel doesn't allow me to switch worksheets while defining the source.
In other words, I want to manage my data validation rules of multiple columns in multiple worksheets in one central location.

What would be the correct syntax for pulling information to the input message box from another sheet?
Code:

'
Dim nrows As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Sheets("sheet1").Activate
[Code] .........

I have multiple data validations with input messages. For the new user, this is handy, but for the person that does this a lot, they get in the way. When I open the sheet, I can move one message to the side of the page and the rest of them come up at the same spot but when I save, exit, and reopen, the message comes up beside the cell and I would like it to always stay to the side of the page.

I'm trying to make the included spreadsheet as idiot proof as possible as a lot is a stake. I have most functionality working well; however, not I would like to add a little more data validation that does not exist in the normal cell validation rule set.
I need all the input cells to validate that the cell contains the word "BOX" upon entry, otherwise throw a warning. This is because the data entry will be done by barcode and there are a couple barcode labels on each box. The one I want will include the word "BOX" somewhere in the code sequence.
Since a previous function in the Code locks the cell, they wont be able to fix the error. but it will alert them so they can make sure to scan in the proper barcode and not miss the box. Also, once I get something that works in the code, where would I put it? In the same code box as the previous script, underneath it, or somewhere else? So, bottom line, I need a script that check the cell for Text of "Box" otherwise throw a message box.

I just have a basic data validation list. I used "List" and checked the right boxes and the file has been working before. Now the same file does not stop the user from typing in anything.
I re-did the same data validation in a new file and it works. Was there something in the file that prevents it from working?
I have Excel 2007. I saved in both xlsx and xlsm formats

In the spreadsheet shown below I would like the user to select a project via a dropdown list in cell B2 which is from the data set shown in row 7 downwards. Then based on the project they select, they need to be able to see all of the locations associated with that project and choose in B3. Finally they then need to be able to select a team which is associated with the project & location combination chosen in cells B2 and B3.

code that will be able to lookup a cell in Column J of Sheet1 by using a lookup value on Sheet2. The lookup value can be any cell in columns B, D, F, H, J, K, or N on Sheet2. The tricky part is, I want the result of this lookup (the result comes from Column H of Sheet1) to be placed as a data validation input message for the cell directly to the right of the lookup value when this cell is clicked.
For Example: Lookup Value is "416991" which lies in cell N8 on Sheet2. Look it up in Column J of Sheet1 and return the appropriate value "X" from Column H of Sheet1. "X" will then appear as an input message when cell O8 of Sheet2 is clicked.

I've made a macro that inserts an entire new row above a specified cell, then updates each column of that row using offset.value and various constants and inputbox variables. Works great so far, unless I try to apply a validation rule to one of the cells.
The code I'm using to add the validation works okay when referring to a specific cell by reference e.g:
With Range("A1").Validation
etc...
However, when I change it thusly:
With Sheet2.Range("LastRow").Offset(-1, 5).Validation
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
xlBetween, Formula1:="=Departments"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
End With
It doesn't like that one bit.
This is part of a private Sub attached to a button in the same sheet. I've had a scan through the archives looking for validation threads, but couldn't find anything that refers to problems with offsets (if indeed that is the problem here).

Im copying and pasting data from one workbook to another but when I want to close the source workbook, it comes up with this message that I have much data and if I want to keep this in a clipboard. I thought I could disable this with Application.DisplayAlerts = False but when I do this, Excel freezes. Im I doing something wrong. How can I supress this window?
Public path As String
Sub Get_data()
path = "\Nlchoosa.nlOPS_Processes$OPS_ProcessesReports Sector performance"
Workbooks.Open Filename:=path & "ReportsSector Performance Reporting week.xls"
Range("A1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.copy
Windows("Sector Performance report Week.xls").Activate
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.DisplayClipboardWindow = False
Windows("Sector Performance Reporting week.xls").Activate
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
End Sub

I am trying to create a macro which gives me an input box. I need to enter 2 numbers into the input box. It would be as follows:
Input Box Msg 1 - "What is your labor cost?" (NUM1)
Input Box Msg 2 - "What is your productivity rate?" (NUM2)
Then I need the macro to take this info and enter it into a formula which changes according to the row which you are on. (I need the macro to work based on which ever cell I currently have selected). The formula would be this if I currently had a cell on row 10 selected:
=(NUM1*(NUM2*$H10))/$H10
So, if I currently had cell L10 selected, and I ran the macro and put 100 in for "NUM1" and 10 for "NUM2" and my sheet had 20 in cell H10, then the macro would enter the number 1,000 into cell L10. If I had L500 selected, then the macro would enter the final number into cell L500 based on what value H500 contained.

It then asks user for the headings of these coulmns and places first column heading in A1 and second column heading in B1, third in C1 and so on ...

I am just starting to get my feet a little damp with VBA and I am trying to make a macro that will act whenever any text is entered in any cell within a 3x3 square. Whenever any text is entered in any of those cells I would like it to enter a text ( "X" ) in a cell which is specified by a cell in the spreadsheet (this cell will output which cell the macro should write the text in in this format "A:1" or "C:3"). How can I make the program act only in reaction to the user entering thier text, and also, how can I get the macro to read A:1 and enter the text into that specific cell? Any help would be so awesome, the book I have is really difficult to navigate.

What I am trying to accomplish....
If the input changes in D5, K11 will reset to $0.00..
Example. If cell K11 is set to $300.00, and the corresponding input in D5 is '123', when I change the contents of D5 it sets K11 back to '0.00'.
