Combo Box Validation And Messagebox

Jul 16, 2006

I have a list box where I select "Income" or "Expense". In relation to that, In the next column called "Category", I use the offset formula in " Validation". Depending on whether I choose Income or Expense, I will get different dropdown options for "Category". What I want to do is if I choose the first column combo box, and leave the second column combo box empty, or Vice Versa, I want a messagebox popup saying that I have to choose an option from the dropdown. But if both are empty fields, then do nothing. I have attached the file called "Data Validation Test"

Combo Box And Numeric Data Validation

Jul 13, 2006

I have a combo box where I select "Income" or "Expense". In relation to that, In the next column called "Category", I use the offset formula in "Validation". Depending on whether I choose Income or Expense, I will get different dropdown options for "Category". What I want to do is if I choose Expense, in the column named "Amount" beside category, I want to have it so that it places the numbers in brackets or simply a negative sign. Just as reference, I use the SUM function to total up the numbers at the bottom of the sheet.

I have attached a sample copy "Data Validation Test"

Using Data Validation To Make My Combo Box As It Looks Cleaner

Jun 14, 2007

A row of say 20 cells, the first cell has 4 options in a combo (using data validation to make my combo box as it looks cleaner). Once the first cells value has been selected I want to populate the values of cells 2-20 based on which of the 4 options was selected in cell 1. Cells 2-20 will be a drop down of 7 options (so cell 1 selects the default selection in the other combo boxes). Also, for combo boxes 2-20 I want to change the cell background based on which option is selected.

How difficult will this be to program in Excel? Can someone help me out or point me in the right direction to find some good tutorials to help with this. (I do have some experience with Word VBA but I am by no means an expert with it, but I do program in other languages)

Validation List To Combo Box Without A Named Range

Dec 5, 2007

I'm creating a sheet that takes three Validation Lists into account. The first two lists are based on named regions. The third list uses the first two lists to narrow a search down so that the user can pick what they want from a smaller selection. I'm using the code from Contextures.com to allow the user to double click the validation list to pop up a Combo Box. This allows me to show more than 8 selections at a time and also gives a little freedom on font and font size.

http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal11.html

Since the third list is not based on a named region but rather code to compare the two previous lists, when I double click the third validation list a blank combo box pops up. it possible to pop up what ever lists are in the validation boxes.

This is the code that I have in the third validation box which States "The Source Currently evaluates to an error" but works fine for some reason. =OFFSET(CategoryStart, MATCH(B4, CategoryColumn, 0) - 1, IF(A4 = "Description", 2, IF(A4 = "ExtDescription", 3, IF(A4 = "PartNumber",4))), COUNTIF(CategoryColumn,B4), 1)

I tried making a named region that was based on the code, so that the list could change as the user selected different options from the first two lists. This gave me the same problems as I had before.

UserForm MessageBox Options

Jul 31, 2007

I have the following VB macro that runs after user presses OK on a userform. I don't think it's written correctly. I would like a prompt that gives two options (either yes to return a null value if they've left a field blank, or return user to a reset userform1 if they select no.)

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

If Me.TextBox1.Value = "" Then
MsgBox ("You Must Enter a Part Number (eg. 1007821-12)")
Unload UserForm1
Calculate
UserForm1.Show
End If
If Me.TextBox2.Value = "" Then
MsgBox ("You Must Enter a Lot Number (eg. 6020631)")............

Adding Formatted Date To A Messagebox

May 3, 2007

I have a cell E1 that is actually a vlookup and returns a date. I had to custom format the cell so the value returned looks like "June 2007" instead of "39827". I am running a macro and I need a messagebox to tell the user that they are creating an email for June 2007 (which is really the variable cell E1). Problem is the message gives the date as '6/4/2007' instead of 'June 2007'. I tried using the text() function to format the cell as "mmmm yyyy" but I get a type mismatch error. Below is the code I wrote. The first way shows successful but the date as numeric. The second gives me the type mismatch error: First way:

a = Range("e1").Value
Msg3 = "You are about to create an email for " & a & ". Are you sure?" 'Define msg
Style = vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton2 ' Define buttons.
Title3 = "Create new file" ' Define title.

Response3 = MsgBox(Msg3, Style, Title3)
If Response3 = vbYes Then ' User chose Yes.
'create email

Second way (mismatch error): a = text(Range("e1").Value, "mmmm yyyy") Msg3 = "You are about to create an email for " & a & ". Are you sure?" ' Define message.
Style = vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton2 ' Define buttons.
Title3 = "Create new file" ' Define title.

Duplicates Checker - With Messagebox Listing Duplicate Results

Mar 17, 2014

check and list duplicates in a message box giving the user the option to then go and delete as necessary.

The "remove duplicates" function in excel is great but doesn't list the account numbers it actually removed.

I'm therefore having to sort Column A (account code column) alphabetically and then manually check for duplicates.

Messagebox Prompt Then Allow User To Enter Data Before Continuing Code Execution

Jun 11, 2013

Basically, in the "Thisworkbook" code , i have some code in the Workbook_BeforeClose section. Currently , it autosaves the workbook in a folder i have specified.

However, i need to add some code.I want to check that a certain cell has a value in it before the user closes the workbook, and if the cell is empty, show a messagebox asking him to enter a value.

I know how to get a messagebox to pop up, the only thing is once the user clicks the OK button,
i need the rest of the code execution to pause, allowing him to make the change then if he clicks the "X" (top right of the screen) to close the file or application, the filesave dialog appears and he can then save the document.

how to go about this because at the moment when user clicks ok, the messagebox just disappears and filesave dialog appears and he doesn't have a chance to edit the cell.

Clearing Validation Values Based On Another Validation

Nov 11, 2008

A2's validation is dynamic as it's selectables varies based on the selection made by the A1 Validation. (=indirect(a1)).

My problem is this....once if have selected from both validations...if I go back and change the A1 validation to a blank (or empty value) or clear the contents on that cell....validation A2's value remains as it was. I would like it to recognize that A1 is blank and also become blank (or goto an empty value).

Data Validation :: Selected From 4 Validation Lists

Sep 26, 2007

I 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)

Nested Data Validation: Figure A To Enforce Dual Data Validation On A Single Cell?

Aug 19, 2009

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.

Let A Combo-box Appear

Oct 15, 2008

I have used and adapted the following code for my sheet:
http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=824

But this combo-box only appears when I change from and back to the first sheet. I would like to either let the combobox appear

-when I open the file or
-when I click anywhere in the first sheet (can be a specific cell, or not)

Another solution would be to "fix" the combobox to a specific cell, ie not make it pop up anymore but just have it there.

Tab Into And Out Of A Combo Box

Mar 16, 2007

I've got a worksheet which uses comboboxes at certain points for users to input data. At other points in the sheet they are entering directly into cells.

I've got the sheet protected, with the input cells unlocked so that it is possible to jump to them using the tab key.

However, I can't seem to make the tab key jump to any of the comboboxes. Ideally I'd like to set the full order for the tab key so that it jumps between input cells and comboboxes at the required stage.

Combo Box

Jul 9, 2009

I am trying to set-up a database where a list of people are trained on different items of equipment.

Is there anyway of doing this example please?

John is selected from a drop down box.

If he is trained on certain equipment, the box will turn green automatically. If he is not, the box will be red.

I am assuming, I will have a separate sheet housing all the names and what areas they are trained in.

Combo Box Won't Populate

Dec 13, 2012

I have a problem where a combo box in a form won't populate from the VBA code in the initialise routine. I've tried a couple of difference methods for populating the combo box without success. The code I have is:

VB:
Option Explicit
Sub NewTender()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

[Code].....

I tried the excel file uploaded by Norie but it only displayed "Is". Are there any settings I need to modify to allow the add item property to work?

-To have the text alignment as centered; and

-Have a shading in it (as per the row)

I have attached a spreadsheet so you know what I mean.

For instance the row in which the combo exists, is shaded blue, is there a way to make the box the same shading too?
