I have a user form to get some input from the user and want to make sure that in some textboxes user should be able enter only text i.e A to Z or a-z no numbers or special charecters.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim RegEx As Object
Dim Strng As String
Strng = CStr(Me.TextBox1.Value)
Set RegEx = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
With RegEx
.Pattern = "^[A-Z]{2}/d+/d{2}$"
If Not .test(Strng) Then MsgBox "Invalid Format: TextBox1"
End With
Set RegEx = Nothing
End Sub ..............................
I have been battling with excel for weeks now trying to get some data to display the way I want it to.
The plan is to enter (into individual cells) some letters, some lower case, some upper case ie, A A a A a C d. Some of these will be displayed together in another cell like this: AAaA, AaCd. My problem is that I want them all to be displayed Upper case letters first, lower case second like this: AAAa, ACad. No amount of my inexperienced fumbling with excel's tools has worked so far.
I am playing around with a table for genetics so if my results in a cell are aAbBCcdD, I need it to display: AaBbCcDd. Is it possible?
I have a spreadsheet which I use to count the occurrences of a value against a range. Basically if the value is uppercase I count as 1 and for lowercase 0.5
This spreadsheet is used as a holiday chart and I have previously used the formula below however, for some reason it no longer works. Not even if I change the lookup value.
The exact function takes a single cell as its value but I have a spreadsheet which allows a range. Although I cannot change it….
in making this macro non case-sensitive. So when a user searches a company name in the worksheet they do not require to type in the company name exactly as it appears.
For example; when searching Microsoft they can type "microsoft" and the macro would take the user to Microsoft.
I would also like to know if it is possible to add a feature that keeps the search dialogue open so the user can search the next possible match. If the user was to type in "mirco" and the search would show the user any company name with the word micro in it.

I have recently taken on the task of creating a large protected program (without macros) that automatically updates a PowerPoint presentation. I created corresponding workbooks for each sheet in the original (master) workbook. The corresponding workbooks are then used to paste object into the power point presentation. The only problem is it will not update format (text color) changes into the corresponding workbook. I have solved half the problem with conditional formatting, but I want to conditionally format the color of text to two different colors blue if Aa and Red if all CAPS. how to differentiate between Standard word and All CAPS in the conditional formatting.
I need a macro that will format a a column based on content that is case sensitive. Example, a cell that contains a capital 'P' will be shaded gray with red text where a cell that contains a lower case 'p' will not change format.
Is it possible to have this type of case sensitive sorting (first all words beginning with a capital later and then all cells beginning with a lowercase letter):
I need a macro or excel formula so that it will remove duplicate products- case sensitive(removing all duplicate prod using using excel,that i know.) i.e. it should not consider Blue BLUE as duplicate. only consider Blue Blue as duplicate.
So the macro should work same as data -> remove duplicate function already exists in excel, except it will be case sensitive..
I am using the this formula to look up data using 0 to show not found. VLOOKUP is acting case sensitive. The Master Array data is in caps and the input is in lower case. There are no spurious spaces. Here are the results:
Code Name 0 River Branch Foundation = not found X RIVER BRANCH FOUNDATION = found - in array as caps
I have an issue with case sensitive while creating forms in Excel VBA. When i compared the text "EXCEL" and "excel" it showing as both the words are not equal/same.
Is there any code to compare the words/inputs without case sensitive.
I am trying to make validation so a textbox in a form can only accept only letters. At the moment however i can only seem to stop it entering numbers on its own, i cant stop it from accepting letters and numbers. here is the code so far. (please try keep the code simple as possible i have seen more diffuclt solutions but they are to difficult)
Private Sub LetterVal() 'Validation to ensure only Letters may be entered into the text box. If IsNumeric(Textbox1) Then Textbox1.BackColor = &HFF& MsgBox ("Only letters aloud in field") Else Textbox1.BackColor = &H80000005 End If End Sub
I'm looking for a way of keeping case sensitive data in a range of cells, before using Data Consolidate, which when merged afterwards, Consolidate removes the case sensitivity and combines the quantities into one.
Check out this simple table as an example >
A B C D E F G H
1 TEXT QTY TEXT QTY TEXT QTY TEXT QTY
2 and 3 and 2 and 10 and 5
[Code] .........
Cells A1-B7 and C1-D7 are two sets of original data, before consolidation.
Cells E1-F4 are the result of applying a Data Consolidate operation to the A1-B7 and C1-D7 ranges - note how the merged result ignores the case sensitive condition in the original ranges.
Cells G1-H7 is the post-consolidation result that I'm looking for, where the original text case is maintained.
I have a number of textboxes into which I enter the surname of individuals ... at present the textboxes are set to store all names in Uppercase. Is there coding to return names beginning Mc... or Mac... ie McClOUD or MacDONALD, in the more recognized format. I am sure this has been included in the forum but could not find it in a search of the site.
I want to force a UserForm TextBox to format the text typed in to have the first letter of each sentence capitalized and all other letters to be lower case when I exit the TextBox.
I have a TextBox on a UserForm in which the user should be entering a series of coma separated zip codes. (12345, 54321, 15243, ...) The number of zips to be entered is variable.
I would like to validate entry as the user types. My first thought is to use the change event and tell it that only numbers, comas, and spaces are allowed, but that doesn't do anything about ensuring 5 digits per zip or having a space after each coma.
Is there a Format function that would allow for a variable number of zips? What else might work?
I have a userform used to input vehicle information. To prevent any errors, is it possible for data Validation to be set in a listbox to accept upto 7 characters (both numbers and letters)
I have a text box in which date will be entered. I am using the following code to validate and format the date.
Code: Private Sub txtTDate_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) If IsDate(txtTDate.Value) Or txtTDate.Value > Date Then sDate = DateSerial(Year(Date), Month(Date), Day(Date))
[Code]...
I expected it to return error if the date entered is less than Current(System's) date. This is not working.
I have a useform with about 30 Text boxes for user input.
when the user exits the box I want a validation check routine.
I need to verify 4 things.
1. That the entry is numeric.
2. Thew at the entry is above the minimum.
3. The Entry if below the maximum.
4. Number of decimal places.
Since I have 30 boxes and will be adding more in the future I need a Subroutine. Here is what I have (I know it does not work - I need help with the syntax.
I am trying to validate two things for one TextBox and they somehow contradict each other:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() TextBox_today.Value = Date TextBox_today.Text = Format(TextBox_today.Text, "dd mmm yy") End Sub
Private Sub TextBox_expiry_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) With Me.TextBox_expiry If IsDate(.Text) Then .Text = Format(.Text, "dd mmm yy") Me.Label_expiry.Caption = "expiry as date:" Else Cancel = True.................................
Also, what other date formats I could use besides "dd mmm yy?"
i am using this code which was provided by a kind ozgrid member
If Not IsNumeric(Me.txtLength.Value) Then MsgBox "Use numbers only", vbCritical, "Numbers Only" With txtLength .SelStart = 0 .SelLength = Len(txtLength) End With
unfortunately it will not allow me to use a decimal point EG: 2.5. allow a deciaml point?
I am trying to validate a textbox (txtCode) on my userform to accept the following type of entry: AB/123/07. The centre set of numbers will change & could also be four or five digits long. I have searched & found several threads but none that solve my problem.
I want one procedure that will validate the CURRENT textbox (not named by name, to allow for the procedure to be included in the change event of several different textboxes), to see if it is numeric (decimal places allowed) in Excel 2007.
I followed the instructions here: {url}, which describe exactly what I want to do. So I put the final procedure listed on that page (the dynamic validation code) into the private module of the user form object as listed below:
Private Sub pipes_Change()
OnlyNumbers
End Sub
Private Sub OnlyNumbers() 'This procedure checks to see if the value 'of the current textbox is a number or not
If TypeName(Me.ActiveControl) = "TextBox" Then
If Not IsNumeric(.Value) And .Value <> vbNullString Then
MsgBox "Sorry, only numbers are allowed."
.Value = vbNullString
End If
End With
End If
End Sub
I then ran the form and typed a number into the "pipes" textbox that had been validated. A compile error is thrown: "Invalid or unqualified reference", highlighting the ".Value" portion of IsNumeric. I tried to remove certain parts of the code, such as the IF statement and the "And .Value <> vbnullstring", but nothing works. I have a feeling it is because this code was created for Excel 2003 (though I'm not certain).
I'm using the following code to try to ensure a value is entered into a text box, but when I click over to the next text box skipping the first one entirely, I don't receive any message indicating the previous box is empty. I'm trying to make it so certain fields are required and others are optional. Here's the code I'm currently using:
This is the code where you click on a cell that has been input from Data Validation, it gets a pop up textbox showing the text input. One drawback I see here is that when the sheet is protected, one needs to tick 'Edit Objects' in 'Allow all users of this worksheet to:' window to get the textbox to pop-up otherwise no textbox is shown.
So this leads to the accessed user to have the ability of deleting and moving the textbox in the protected spreadsheet. Do you have any idea to Protect the sheet, Get the textbox to pop up, Disallow user to delete/move the textbox.
As part of a UserForm I am Validating and Formatting in one pass. The problem I'm having is that when the Validation fails, I get the error message, and the focus moves on to the next text box.
I want to trap the user in a loop until they have acceptable data
