I have an issue with a user form I have created. When users open the form there are certain options (ie location) which are a combo box and I only want users to be able to select one of the drop down options.
Sadly they can also type in the combo box. How do I block users from typing in a combo box in a user form so that they are forced into selecting one of the drop down options.
I want to make a combo box in excel that, if i select it the sheet inside the combo box will appear.
Example:
Inside of combox are: Sheet1
Sheet2
Sheet3
If i click combo box and i choose sheet3 the sheet3 will appear.
How can i do this? theirs a macro code to use?
The first combo box is on a userform so that a subject can be selected

How do I get it to add the word base, but then I can continue typing the numeral after it? I do not want to create another column after with the numeral. So as I type B, A, [click certain button and continue typing] II
On a sheet of my workbook, I need to allow typing but not pasting. I'm using Workbook, because I'd just as soon not allow pasting anywhere.
If the data is copied from within Excel, this seems to work:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
but if the data is copied from somewhere outside of Excel, it pastes it anyway.
I'm in need of a macro that takes data from cells in column A and moves them into different cells. Each block of data includes a company name, contact name, address and usually (but not always) phone, fax, email, website, etc. I want to move each set of contact info into a set of cells that begin in column A, starting with company name. refer to the attached spreadsheet

Problem: "Address"! The Excel page that i'm working has a column to feel with Addresses manually, but I have a table with all correct Address names from the city that I'm working about in other page.
What I would like is when start typing some keyword from the Address cell, it could show me all the choises of input (based on the correct Address Table)
Excel, by default, show, by exact order, all the choises, already typed on the same collumn.
I don't want that.
- imagine I have the Table 1 (representing the table with all city adresses) with a collumn called 'Address' with:
A1 - Street ZXY
A2 - Avenue QWE
A3 - Street QWE
A4 - Avenue ZXY
when typing on another Table, if I write something like “QWE” show me the A2 and A3 to choose wich I'm going to feel, and the same to “ZXY”, showing the A1 and A4. Other thing, if I write “QWE street” may show A3 also. Keyword is what i'm talking about

Is there a way to turn off those annoying error message boxes that pop-up when a line of code is incorrect? I pretty frequently go to another area of code to grab some previous code to copy and paste, and the error message box pops-up, so I have to hit OK to close it. It would be nice if it still highlighted the problem red, but I'd even give that up for those boxes to go away.

View 9 Replies View Relatedis it possible to create in Excel something similar to the text box you have when you enter the product key on the text boxes?
like for example, when you need to type 1997 as your id.
when you typed "1" in A1, cursor will automatically move to B1.
when you typed "9" in B1, cursor will automatically move to C1...
and so on..
thus, user that fill in the form does not need to press enter, or right arrow key when inputting their id.
Is there a way that Excel can automatically enter to next row once the typing has reach the end.
Example: I have 5 columns (A to E) and I am typing at column A. While typing, the text will go along to cell B, C, D and E. The problem is, if I don't manually go to next row and continue typing, the text will go to column F, G and so on. Is there a way where excel can automatically jump to next row if the text has reach column E?
Another problem is, say I have 3 rows full of text (column A to E). If I edit one of the row to exter some new texts, the whole sentence will go along to column F, G and so on. What I can do now is, re-edit all the rows to adjust them back.

I used to type a date into excel as "apr 17" and it displayed the date as 17-Apr-14, which is exactly how I wanted it to.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to have a form that people can fill in and I know it would be far better to use Word for this purpose but it looks so much better in Excel format. The problem is I have merged about 10 cells in a row and copied this format down a few rows.
Now although I have set the 'Text Wrap' option the rows will not auto expand unti to accodate all the text unless I do a ALT-ENTER combo. The problem is anyone using this spreadsheet to complete the form may not know how to use this feature.
Is there anyway Excel can expand automatically or do I need some sort of Macro based in the Worksheet that will automatically adjust the row if the text is too long to fit?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a userform that i have set the showmodal property to false.
This form has a list box that is populated with a huge list of items. I have a textbox in the userform that i use as a filter. so as the user types in something it filters the results in the listbox.
This was working fine but I added to the code to put a tooltip in when hovering over a item in the listbox. (using windows API to achieve).
The problem now is after i type one letter in the text box and it runs the change event it doesnt place the cursor at the end of the textbox anymore to continue typing.
I have tried setting focus to the textbox at the end of the event but nothing happens. I have searched all over the internet with no luck.
