I've implanted data validation into some cells and I need to be able to catch any modifications to these cells. If the user change the value from A to B, I would like to trap this event using VBA. I've tried to record a macro, change the value of the cell using the data validation but unfortunately, it didn't generate any code at all.
View 3 RepliesI want to catch the click event on "Increase Indent" commandbar button.
I have this reference- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ffice.10).aspx

VBA can do this:
The first is an event module for your worksheet, the second needs to go into a standard code module.

I have a Data Validation Listbox and I basically want to run a macro when a selection changed in the Listbox.
Does anyone have the code? I'm using Excell 2003.
I read this wasn't supported in 97 version but I haven't found an examples past this on the forum.
I'm using a worksheet that has a time value in column A.
The time is manually updated every five minutes.
Is there a formula that I can use to catch any missing times?
change the below code from a worksheet_change to a worksheet_calculate method. and still do the same action. the reason I am changing methods is due to the fact that the validation will not trigger the worksheet_change event to fire. this is my attempt to find an alternative way to fire off the macro.....
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have 13 sheets in my workbook (one for each month plus a GlobalSettings). In each month sheet I want to create a change event that prompts a UserForm when they select "Yes" from a drop-down validation list if it happens to be a month prior to the current month.
This is the code for the change event:
I'm trying to figure a to enforce dual data validation on a single cell. That is, I need to restrict the user to entering only a decimal value, only if a particular other cell (say A2) is blank. To put it another way, if A2 is blank, the user can enter a decimal value, but if A2 is not blank, the user cannot enter anything. I can use Data Validation to enforce either the decimal restriction or the ISBLANK, but I'm not sure how to make them work together.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking to freeze row 18 in an excel sheet, however in doing so this really limits the amount of rows below row 18 that can be viewed and scrolled through.
I would like to know if there is any way that you could freeze row 18 and when you scroll down on the worksheet, you can scroll down past rows 1-17 and when row 18 reaches the top row it would lock there? And you would then be able to continue scrolling down the worksheet beyond row 18..
I want to catch if the user has deleted a row. There is a need to know when a row is deleted and what the data was in that row. So, what I'm trying to do if a row is deleted is to undo the action and then change the font of all data in that row to have the strikethrough effect. This will enable others looking at the workbook to know that the information in the row existed but is no longer relevent.
So, the code is something like this:If row deleted Then
Application.Undo
Target.Font.Strikethrough = True
End If
I want to catch the value of cell B25 in the Quantities sheet of the workbook Sales.xls in the variable marchSales.
The code is:
Sub marchSales()

.Range("B25") = marchSales
End With
MsgBox "The sales of March is " & marchSales, vbInformation

I have 2 columns First Name & Surname. What I want to do is create a data validation list on the surname which results in the 2nd data validation list only showing the first names which link to one of the surnames.
i.e. If I selected Smith in the 1st validation list then I would only like to see 'Paul' as an option in the 2nd list
First Name
Surname
Paul
Smith
Paul
Jones
Tony

I have to create a formula to fine difference between 2 numbers.
There are columns A to Z.
Values will be populated in A1 to Z1. Sometimes the value will stop in between itself. For example H1.
So, I need a formula to catch the last populated cell (H1 in our case) and then find the difference between the value in its previous column.
H1-G1 should be the result I should get.
I have a VBA procedure in Excel that opens PowerPoint presentations and searches each slide for embedded objects, opens, and attempts to save the objects as separate files utilizing the following statement:
Shape.OLEFormat.DoVerb Count
Where Count is the "Open" verb. 90% of the time it works great but there are times where the object simply wont open so the application just stops. I don't get any errors so I don't see how I can trap for this incident.
What I would like to do is emulate something similar to C#'s Try/Catch function.
Is there a way to do something like this in VBA?
let's suppose I have a prefixed range like A1:A300 in which periodically I need to enter some records (normally numbers but also sometime blank cells - i.e. void no entries); so imagine you have an array of cells in which I want to catch by mean of a formula or a macro the last entered significative record (i.e. a number); the objective is obviously to catch the last significative record in that given range having numbers in it (i.e. leaving out any blank cells in between); no other clues to approach the problem are given: do you think it's possible to sort out somehow this tricky problem ?
example:
1
34
67
#
45
#
#
545
#
22
where # stands for blank cell
how to catch 22?
I am trying to find some solution on frequent errors , that come up when one copy, or drag formulae.
Sometime the error doesn’t appear on surface, but after digging you realize that some formula is not pointing to correct
cells.
I want to create a macro which will do following things :
1. It will go to each cell in the selected range, and compare the cell’s formula with that of the cell on its right and left.
2. If the formulae are not similar it should change the color of that cell.
Basically, I am trying to catch logical errors. However I don’t know how to approach this problem? Is there any in-built functionality in Excel that can do this task ?
I can not seem to find a good example of code for a try and catch error handler out on the web for something I am working on. Here is the code I am working with:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have attached a sheet that I am working on. I want cell G1 to be less than or equal to 165. That cell contains a formula. If the formula takes the number to over 165 the validation is allowing it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if it's possible to populate a data validation list based on what is selected from 4 validation lists?
for example:
On sheet1:
If 'Group1' is selected from data validation list1 then data validation list5 will show a list of all items from Group1. If 'Group2' is selected from data validation list2, then data validation list5 will display all the items in 'Group2'...
(I do not want to use a combo box for this)
I've been tasked with creating an updated booking system for a company which offers projects / services to the educational sector (UK Primary Schools.) I've done an alright job at augmenting their current Excel based system, but I would like to take it further so that the system is more all encompassing.
Currently, the booking form is filled in when a booking is made and the data from that is populated into their copy of the contract and our copy of the contract using simple "=" and to a certain extent, the text on the contracts is manipulated based on the booking form data using "IF" functions.
There is a basic macro which removes excess lines from the contracts if they aren't used, but that's about it. The difficulty we're having with the current system is that a lot of our projects are bespoke, happen over more than one date, and require a lot of manual manipulation in order to get them ready, which sort of defeats the object of having a 'clever' booking system.
I don't know very much about VB, but the sort of thing I would be looking to integrate is having drop down lists to select a 'project' which would load project-specific text into the contracts area. Also, instead of having to remove lines manually, I would like the data to be 'dropped in' creating rows as appropriate.
Is there a way to write a Worksheet_SelectionChange (ByVal Target As Range) event in module after creating a sheet in VBA? I constantly delete a sheet, then repopulate it with a new one that is empty, but I need to add some code that happens if they should change a particular cell. It worked when I ran it on a worksheet without refreshing, but as soon as I cleared and repopulated the sheet, it was gone. Is there a way to preserve this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the following code, which works perfectly:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim TotalDays As Integer
TotalDays = Range("C65536").End(xlUp).Row + 1
The code points to the next blank cell so the user can input a value. Each time the user enters a value I want to re-run the code so that the colour of the cell changes.
However I also want to perform various calculations on the sheet. However this means the sheet is being changed and so continually repeats my code.
How do I add the following, to my previous code?
Range("E8").Value = Cells(7, 6) * 2.5
I want to catch an error and reset the entire code to the very beginning and skip that entire entry. When I use "Next fieldSheetName" I get "Next without For," error 1004. Searches tell me I have an open block somewhere, but that's not true. Removing that statement (and having the loop iterate as normal) has no error at all.
Dim employeeName As String
Dim fieldMax, x, y As Byte ' Counters mostly
Dim workedHours, fieldSheetName As Integer
fieldMax = 204 ' Row number to stop on in the field time sheet
row = 4 ' Row specification for field time sheet. Begin at row 4 to ignore headers
' and start on the first name. This should not be changed!
Col = 3 ' Start at column 3 then increase by one to start going to next time entry
' RESET HERE!
For fieldSheetName = 4 To fieldMax Step 8 ' This is our MAIN loop. It iterates from 0 to fieldMax, which is 204...........
I had some of values in Column A, B & C for ex: column A has brand name, column B has model name and Column C has sub_model name here i have a limited values i need to make it as drop down list but i had a problem with the below formula.

F($F$2=Sheet2!$H$9,ch_v,IF($F$2=Sheet2!$H$9,ch_v,"")))))))))
i need to add some more ifelse but the validation don't allows it.
I have a relatively complex excel VBA solution which has a top level spreadsheet containing a dashboard of stats (test statuses within projects).
There are various reporting options available which open other spreadsheets to collect data and present it within the top level spreadsheet - these are closed once the data has been copied.
For example, I select an option to show me all the issues relating to tests for a particular team and the solution opens a series of spreadsheets and copies the issues into the summary spreadsheet.
The problem is that the report has the option to double-click a row, which essentially opens the corresponding Excel file and focuses on the relevant row containing the issue.
This works fine but I've added protection to the report to prevent users editing the data here (they should double-click to open the underlying file and edit there).
The report is a protected sheet and locked/unlocked cells can be selected - in fact, they need to be to allow the double-click event.
If I put my cursor in a cell and click Delete then pass over the warning that the sheet is protected then select Enter, Excel raises error "1004: Select method of Range Class failed".I understand that use of worksheet select is not a good idea but what concerns me is that the event which occurred prior to the double-click (the one which collected the data for the report) is running when it shouldn't be so.
Why would the earlier event be triggering and why doesn't it hit my breakpoint placed in the related code block even though that must be running?
I'd like to create a drop down list in data validation from a column of data that contains numerous duplicates.
For example, let's say column A contained hundreds of transactions with either North, South, East and West, how could I create a drop down list in another cell that only had four selection options?
Essentially, I would like a user to be able to select a PUB from the Data Validation drop down in row 2 of the PUB RATES sheet so that the corresponding information in the DATA sheet autofills.
Currently, this works only for the first column under each PUB when selected and this fills across all 4 columns (rather than the respective information for each column filling).
Also, the Data Validation dropdown includes blanks which I would like to exclude.
I have used a Range Name for the Data Validation of each PUB so that these can be drawn from a separate sheet as I don't want all the DATA content on the same sheet as the PUB RATES content.
I want to load the actual data exist in the rows by selection value from the data validation list.
E.g I have two worksheet in one excel file. One has a data activities of persons with their name like two columns i have in which one exist the name of person and second exist the activities which they perform.
On the second sheet, i made a data validation list of all the person names
Now my requirement is, when i select a person name from the list, load all the data from the 1st sheet to second sheet. Is this possible without VB code, because I want to share it on the Google sheet with my boss, where VB sheet is not supposed to work.
Is there a way to use Data Validation that will pull data from a source list and also be able to type in additional data or just new data in same cell?
