to find event that is triggered when cell is selected.
Or maybe there is a better way to do this?
This is what i want:
When user clicks given cell form will pop up letting user choose cell value from Combo box.
I wanted to use Cell Selected event and just pop up Form but maybe i can do it withought VB.
Is there a way to limit possible cell values to few predefined values?
So user cant put there whatever he/she wants?
I am using the following Selection_Change Event to show a UserForm when a cell in 1 of 31 named ranges is selected.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 31
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("StatPost" & i)) Is Nothing And Target.Value = "" Then
If Target.Offset(0, -8).Value = "" Or Target.Offset(0, -7).Value = "" Or Target.Offset(0, -6).Value = "" Or Target.Offset(0, -5).Value = "" Or Target.Offset(0, -3).Value = "" Or Target.Offset(0, -2).Value = "" Or Target.Offset(0, -1).Value = "" Then....................
I have a combo box that insert certain information in the row corresponding to the active cell. Apparently the events that trigger the code are generated by the combo box ( change or on click) but pressing any key also triggers the events of the combo box.(this is undesirable)
The following code is excuted even when any key is pressed. Any suggestions on how I can go around this problem? (get this code executed ONLY when a combo box event is triggered)
Private Sub cmbLinkInfo_Click()
'The record is inserted only if the user is inside certain range
'The range is inside the affected links table and between the columns C and F
If (ActiveCell.Row > 25) And _
(ActiveCell.Column > 2) And _
(ActiveCell.Column < 7) Then
'<
Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 3).Value = cmbLinkInfo.List(cmbLinkInfo.ListIndex, 0)
Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 4).Value = cmbLinkInfo.List(cmbLinkInfo.ListIndex, 1)
Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 5).Value = cmbLinkInfo.List(cmbLinkInfo.ListIndex, 2)
Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 6).Value = cmbLinkInfo.List(cmbLinkInfo.ListIndex, 3)
'>
End If
End Sub
When I use the mouse pointer to select a cell I can't use the arrow keys to move to another cell while the pointer is over the cell and I can't edit the cell while the pointer is over the cell. If I move the pointer away from the cell then I can move around and edit as normal therefore I don't think this is a scroll lock issue.
This issue also happens when I select a tab. If I select a tab and then leave the pointer over the tab I selected then I can't use the arrow keys to move around the worksheet or edit a cell; if I move the pointer away from the cell then I can move around and edit as normal.

I have a combobox on a form that uses match required. When the user selects this box and does not type in anything then decides to change something else on the form an "Invalid Property value" pops up. Is there a way to get around this. I have tried to add "" to the combobox list but it is still not working properly.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIm using code from website: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal11.html
to display a combobox when I double click any cell that contains a validation list in it. I'm not great with VBA so I am having problems finding what each part of the code does. This is causing problems for another bit of code that I use to display a msgbox when certain values are selected from the list.
The MsgBox shows up great when I select an item from the validation list but does not work at all when I select the same item from the double-clicked combo box. It would be great if I could get the MsgBox to work both ways. This is the code that displays the MsgBox when target value is selected from list
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Select Case Target.AddressLocal(False, False)
Case Is = "B4", "B5", "B6", "B7", "B8", "B9", "B10", "B11", "B12"
If Target.Value = "H" Then
MsgBox "This is a pop for extra information. Savvy?", vbYesNo, "Yo!"

I have 4 combo boxes that allow me to make selection from pivot tables. As you know in the pivot table there's the "All Selection" which does not exist in combo boxes (I think), so I created a macro to reset all the pivot tables with the "All" option selected in all of them. However the values in the combo boxes are not changing.

The end part is not a problem; I’m just not sure how to write the one line of code that would test if the cell falls between the two dates. I attemped to create it as shown in the code attached below but wasn't successful. I used an else if statement to test the other 11 months.
Sub test()
Dim SelectDate As Range
Set SelectDate = Range("SelectedDate")
If selectedDate >= 1 / 1 / 2006 And selectedDate <= 31 / 1 / 2006 Then

Looking for a Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) code to concatenate cell J, K, E and F cells when both J6 and K6 are selected. The cells start in J6 and K6. When both J6 and K6 are selected, I would like a VBA code to concatenate J6, K6, E6 and F6 in cell L6
(Here is the formula =IF(OR(J6="",K6=""),"",I6&" "&J6 &" "&K6&" - "&E6&" "&" "&F6 I have but looking for a VBA code to accomplish task).
When either J6 or K6 is selected, the code should not concatenate until both cells (J and K) are selected. I would also like a Clear Contents function to clear L6 (or L7, L100, L80 or L13) contents when either J or K cell is deleted. For example, if K value is deleted, the Clear Contents should clean J and L cells contents.
I am trying to do is to make it so that users can enter data into my form (I have managed to create the form and am working on trying to figure out how to get the info entered into the form to appear in my worksheet) and then the data will cause the information to, basically, compile sentences that I want to appear in one of three cells at the bottom of the worksheet.
Essentially, at this point in time, the end goal is to make 3 cells that contain text. Eventually, this text will be indexed elsewhere, but that is for the next person to deal with. I am creating a prototype that I want to present as a process improvement.
So, when the user selects 3 in cell D7 I want the text "Customer purchased 3 Widgets at $20 each." to print in cell 82B.
I also want the user to be able to copy and paste some customer records from another program directly into a cell in the form that will just print (unchanged) into one of these boxes, too.
Lastly, I want the user to be able to select checkboxes that will, when selected, print a comment that will print in two of these boxes. For example, if the user selects yes for cell D26 then I want the text "Customer not eligible for free shipping" to appear in both cells C82 and D82.

Hope this is fairly easy to solve. I have Screen #1 with a listbox with a CLICK event. The event populates a combobox below (with items based on listbox's selection). Listbox is NOT multi-select. Code runs fine manually, i.e., user opens screen selects from listbox, then can select from combobox.
I now what to open and make selections from another form/screen, Screen #2. I've written code to select the proper item from Screen #2's listbox but this does NOT trigger the listbox's CLICK event for me so the combobox isn't populated so I can then make that selection from Screen #1, also. I've tried setting focus to listbox first, then making selection, but that doesn't work.
QUESTION: Is there code that selects from a listbox in a way that mimics the user clicking the selected item in the listbox?
The alternatives I can think of are:
1) Change Screen #2's listbox code from CLICK to CHANGE event, but I'd rather not.
2) Move CLICK event code to sub-procedure and then call from both listbox CLICK and Screen #2 code
3) Some sendkey string like ENTER?
Would be easier to just mimic the user click, if possible.
With frm_Screen2
'Select item type from listbox
With .LBox_Items

Macros question - The user enters a word, e.g. Malaysia in a particular cell (always the same location) and I want the macro to be able to find the next cell with that word in it, but it appears that when using macros you can't paste anything into the find function, so was just wondering what to do!

I have an incredibly simple question, for anyone who knows Excel well. I pre-apologize for the gaps in my knowledge, as I'm mostly self-taught.
I have an example spreadsheet I found on a thread here.
It has cells A1 and A2 bound to combo boxes.
I want to set up a worksheet pretty much exactly like this.
I know how to do a combo box as an external item on the page, but I want each cell in a certain column on each row to be a combo box.
I am trying to use vba to give a combo box focus only when cell D2 (a cell merge of d2,d3 and d4) changes.
So, If I enter a number in cell D2 and hit ENTER or use one of the arrows I want the combo box to get selected (get focus). I don't want this action to take place when other cells are acted upon this way. ONLY D2.
What code do I need to activate a cell by the choice I make in a combo box? I don't want to change the value in the active cell, just want to offset by columns to enter a number in a different column.
View 7 Replies View RelatedBasically I have a filtered list in colunms A to D. The user selects a cell in column A and I want to then be able to run a macro which copies that cell and the adjacent one in column B, into columns A and B on sheet2.
The complications are
Column B on the second sheet is merged with columns D to E so a straight forward cut and paste of A and B on sheet 1 into A and B on sheet 2 will not work in one cut and paste as it complains about merged cells. It would need to copy and paste A and then copy and paste B to avoid the error.
The row on sheet 2 where it is being pasted needs to be the first row between row 10 and row 30 where col A is blank (so it doesnt overwrite a previous copy and paste as they are basically creating a list on sheet 2 in those rows by runing this macro repeatedly). if there is no blank row then it should insert a new row at row 10 and paste into that
Sheet 1 is a table with the first column and first row as text (table headings). The first column is names and first row is from report names.Namereport 1report 2Jane Doe114John Doe52
Sheet 2 is the report1, for example purposes
NameJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJohn DoeJohn DoeJohn DoeJohn DoeJohn Doe
I am trying to have it to so that when you double click on cell B2 of sheet1, it will go to sheet2 and autofilter on the value to the left of B2 on sheet1 "Jane Doe"
This is what I have so far but when I double click on B2 it just moves the cursor to the cell to the left instead of filtering on the value of the cell to the left on sheet2.
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)

How would I get a particular cell to display the contents of any cell that might be selected.

I need a list in my form, simple "Name/Number" list (only two options) but i don't want it to refer to any cell in the worksheet.
I want to input a text in a textbox and with the selection in the list above i want to have multiple choices at how to approach the text (if i input a name i want it to be different than if i input a number). All the info i came up on the web refers to lists made upon a range of cells.
How can i make a list without involving ranges of cells?
Been doing pretty good up till now but I can not figure out how to get a combo box in the first blank cell of column A. I am using the named range 'Units' and there are almost 900 of them so I need the combo box.
