I'm trying to set my code to force the user to enter in 8 characters for an employee ID within a text box. Currently when I attempt to enter in an employee ID, my message box alert appears after the first digit. So instead of validating the user has entered in 8 characters for the employee ID, the msgbox alert appears as soon as the user enters in the first number. I cannot figure out what I am missing within my code.
Code:
Private Sub txtPERNR_Change()
If Len(Me.txtPERNR.Text) 8 Then
Me.txtPERNR.SetFocus
MsgBox ("PERNR number must be 8 characters in length")
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
I honestly thought this validation would be easy, but I've tried it a couple of different ways and nothing is working.
We are moving to a new accounting system and we need to import the creditors' master data but there are field length limitations in the new system. I have the full details off our current system and I would like to highlight cells that fall outside of the character length.
I am sure this isn't just a setting that can be enable in excel. I was wondering if there is a code that will allow the display of the number of characters in a cell when typing in it.
I know there is a len() function but I don't know how to use it so it displays my char length on the go.
In Userform1 I have several textbox and one commandbutton1. If I mouseclick on a textbox and click commandbutton1 the letters YES is entered in the texbox. To prevent double click entry into the same textbox I set the maximum length property at 3. However, setting the maximum length to 3 does not work. Subsequent commandbutton1 clicks will result in an infinite YES entries.
Is the maximum length property disabled when commandbutton entries are applied?
Is there a fomula that can add trailing spaces. For example....I need a certain feild to be 11 Characters in length. So lets say in Column A, I have a bunch of different words:
House Bird Up Down Yes No
I would like to put a formula in column B that takes my original text and adds blank spaces to the end of it until it's 11 Characters. So "House" in Column A would be "House " in column B.
Is there a way to stop getting the error of a string of poind signd (which look like ################) whenever I'm trying to copy and paste information from another worksheet, or trying to link one sheet to another?
I've already tried resizing the rows and columns to their respective maximums but it doesn't seem to work.
I though I could do this with a nested IF statement but it is too cunfusing for me. What I am trying to accomplish is this:
Experiment Is Steward EU ID Location Data Quality GE Entry Order
[Code] ........
I want to have a screen pop-up asking me what my limit < would be for column "ESTCNT" so if I put in 25 or any other number that it would highlight all the rows that are less than 25, then look at the row above and below and if it matches the same number (that is in the cell "Range" of the highlighted column) in column "Range" then copy that row to a new sheet. Meaning all tha rows that match the "Range" would be in the same new sheet.
The rows might be different lengths and that there will not always be a number in cell "ESTCNT". Column headers will always be the same but might not be in the same column each time. And if it is not to hard once it is completed to find column "SPPLOT" in the new sheet created and asking what I want to autofil the column with.
When I run this code it does the exact opposite of what I want it do (if not contained in that character list then delete). So basically if it not in the character list then delete, but it if is in the character list it deletes....
I've set up a filing system which saves sheets/ workbooks based on the value of a cell - Range("B1") Everything works great apart from when ThisFile String length exceeds 31 characters which you may know is the max useable character length for a sheet name - I had no idea! 8-0
Is there a way i can check if string length exceeds 31 characters then, if it does, shorten it to 31 characters?
My worksheet contains data with the reaction times on a psychological test. Each respondent in the test has 280 rows in my excel sheet.
The 'perfect' length of the row, is from A to M. When an error is made in the test, the length of the row will increase. So the error length can be A to AA.
For me it is important to analyse the error. So I would like to give a perfect row length, the value 1, and an error row length a value 2.
So, in conclusion:
If: Cell length = A1 - M1? --> Copy A1 B1 C1 (A B Cof that row) to Sheet3, and give D1 in sheet 3 the value 1
Cell length >= A1 - M1? --> Copy A1 B1 C1 (A B C of that row) to Sheet3, and give D1 in sheet 3 the value 2
I have got a list of numeric abbreviations, for instance 10739011/21/31/41. What it should really display are the numbers 10739011, 10739021, 10739031 and 10739041 (the first six figures stay the same). All the numbers in my list are 8 figures long. I want to change the list from the list seperated by the backward slash to the complete numbers. I have uploaded an example of the list with backward slash between the numbers. Is there a way that Excel can automatically change these numbers to the full numbers?
Because all the numbers are 8 figures long, I thought the first 6 figures of the 1st number can be copied and those 6 figures pasted before the other two figures after the backslash. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;sorry, pressed OK too quickly. The problem is that there are sometimes 4 numbers in the cell, sometimes 6 and once three. I would like Excel to complete all the numbers in the cell and then move on to the cell underneath it and so on. Also, I would like each number to have it's own cell.
I have a cell which will contain SER01+SER02+SER03
and what i need it to contain is [SER01]+[SER02]+[SER03]
and shocker is i've got this to work for the first instance but not the other two
code as below... be grateful for your help
Sub measure1() Dim list As String, pos As Integer, refl As String, refr As String, newlist As String list = Cells(1472, 16).Value pos = InStr(list, "+") refl = Left(list, pos - 1) refr = Right(list, pos + 1) newlist = "[" & refl & "]" Cells(1472, 17) = newlist End Sub
My spreadsheet is populated by data coming from MS Query, i'm entering a parameter value to display the desired data in my spreadsheet. My problem is, i have to close and open the file to have the parameter prompt so in that case i can enter the parameter value.
Is there anyway to call the parameter prompt so i will not open and close the file, its really time consuming...
If possible, i just want a command button that calls the parameter prompt.
Looking for a formula that gives the 1st - 5th day of a month, using the day name, e.g. "First Monday of March 2009" returns "2". Even better is if it could accomodate previous and following months, e.g. "First Monday of Next Month" returns "6". 3
I have a a table at the top of my worksheet which is a breakdown of performance. (Table 1), i would like Table 2 to roll up performance using a =SUMIFS calculation. However number of rows in table 1 may vary.
Last time i got macro from this forum how to import files automatically. I am importing the data from the specific folder.In code itself we are hardcoding that file names.But in that folder i have lot of files is there any option to pass any parameter value.That means each time it will asks for filename(Prompt).Once you give file name it will automatically load the data.
How do I adjust the VB code below so when the user clicks the command button they are prompted to set a limit. i.e the code only runs til it hits the limit and stop (instead of running until it there are no more x in the columns)
Row 2, Col 9 stores the column numbers (listed as 1, 2,.....100) so thought this could be used in some way.
1. how do i set up the code so a user can enter a parameter value e.g 50 (which is the limit but also includes the values in column number "50")
2. how do i adjust the code so it take the parameter value and stop when it reaches column number "51"...
I am running a macro where I pass it starting column and it processes the next 10 columns. How can I pass it "J" and have it increment K,L,M,N,O,P,...?
