I need to make sure people enter City State and Zip correctly,
I need somehow to validate: City, NC 21312
Validate City with a comma right next to it with a space and then 2 letters and then space or 2 space and 5 numbers.
Is there any way to do this using Validation.
I guess I could separate the cells, but I would rather not do that. Or I could have a message box pop up and ask individually to enter each one, but I would rather not do that.
I have been trying to find an easier way to make sure that the email address that I have been given in a excel workbook are in the proper format before I try to use them. I have tried doing a google search on this subject but have not found the correct solution. I want to enter a function in column L that would use a regular expression for the email format and compare it to the email address in column J. If the results are true place a value of 1 in column K. If false place a value of 0 in column K.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a string and I have to validate that it is entered in a particular format. The length has to be 12 and the characters should be entered in this format: XX1111/11XXX where X represents alphabet and 1 represents number. The "/" is a part of the string.
I tried using the Data---> Validate function and the problem I faced is that the code turns out to be very long and the formaula cell doesnt let me enter such a long formula. Is there any other way to do this without using a macro?
The formula I was trying is something like this.
=AND(LEN(A1)=12, CODE(LEFT(UPPER(A1),1))>64, CODE(LEFT(UPPER(A1),1))64, CODE(MID(UPPER(A1),2,1))64, CODE(MID(UPPER(A1),10,1))64, CODE(MID(UPPER(A1),11,1))64, CODE(MID(UPPER(A1),12,1))
I have a cell (B2) I would like to apply multiple data validations to.
I know I need to use the custom formula option but don't know how to write the formula.
I don't even know if it is possible, but here is what I'm after
I need to make sure the cell is 4 digits long
I need to make sure the cell starts with a zero (Because the cell starts with a zero I have it as a text cell)
I need to make sure the 2nd number is not 0 if A2 begins with 5 (A2 is also a text cell).
I'm looking to make a code that validates that a string is only alphabetic characters.
In addition, i want an additional code that validates other strings are only numeric. I tried using the VBA formula isnumeric, but it seems strings with e and d are still acceptable. I would guess the e is for exponential, but not sure about the d.
How can I validate a cell to get only text and undescore?
Not any other special characters, like space, @#$%^&*()+!~
I have a column which is formatted to custom [hh]:mm but could also have the following text entry "NWD", which is either the hours a member of staff works or Non Working Day.
I tried using a data validation list with **:** and NWD, but it recognises the **:** as exactly that.
I have a spreadshhet which has data by month, year, week and bi-weekly. I would like everything to be monthly. How can I put a formula which will look up the cell and see if it monthly it will the value of the cell beside it, if it is weekly it will take the cell value and multiply by 2 and so on.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some data stored in a database and when it is extracted into excel each entry's data is presented in both horizontal and vertical formats. e.g.
Entry1 value1 value2 value3
value4
value5
value6
Entry2 value1 value2 value3
value4
value5
value6
I have a macro that will transpose the vertical data into horizontal format but if there are not the expected number of 'value' items below the entry it will not work correctly. If in the above example Entry2 only had value4 and value5 below it the macro would fail.
What I need is a way to validate that each entry has the correct number of values below it before the macro is run and some way of highlighting or drawing attention to these problems.

I'm making a data entry form for a user, and one of the fields is in a time format (mm:ss). Is there any way that I can validate that field in "cmdOK_Click()" so that when the user clicks "ok" on the data entry form, if they haven't entered a date a msgbox comes up.
I tried IsNumeric with an If function but to no prevail.
I have a Userform that has 4 Textboxes (named TextBox1, TextBox2, TextBox3 and Textbox4) and 7 Option Buttons (named OptionButton1, OptionButton2, OptionButton3, OptionButton4, OptionButton5, OptionButton6 and OptionButton7). I need to validate that the following criteria is met:
TextBox1.Value Does not = ""
TextBox2.Value Does not = ""
TextBox3.Value Does not = ""
TextBox4.Value Does not = ""
One Option Button is selected. (It can be any one of them 1-7, Just one needs to be selected).
Is there an easy way to check this data before executing a sub procedure to move the data?? Here is my try at it:

TextBox1.SetFocus
MsgBox "Please enter a Batch Date", vbCritical

I have a question that is bugging for quite some time, see if you know. Is it possible to insert a data validation drop-down menu to a pivot tables drill down data automatically?
I really do believe that pivot tables should have this option, it would make data validation much more easier. I going to suggest that to the guys developing Office 14, according to them the new Office will more Business roled based. Lets wait and see a !

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am creating a spreadsheet where the user enters food they have eaten that day. The way this is done at the moment is with validated list boxes, one depending on the other using the indirect function. I want to be able to make this into a user input form. Is there a way of adding these validations from the spreadsheet, to an input form.
I want the input form to have an input for the day, food group, food item, and quantity of the food. The food item needs to depend on the food group.
i want to do is, have a list that picks from a color and then beside it, it will show the possible fruit that is that color for example
Red
apple
cherry
strawberry
OR
Green
watermelon
grapes
The number of fruit will differ by the color so i know i need a counter there, but i am not sure how to list the fruit after i've picked the color
VBA code which can distinguish whether a cell has been edited by:
selecting an option from a data validation list (DVL)
or
manually editing the text in a cell?
The ""Show error alert after invalid data is entered"" option is unticked to allow both selection from the DVL as well as free format text entries.
The problem arises when using the code below which makes an edited cell within a range display the new value as well as the prior value(s). This works well when using the DVL but not when editing the cell.
Is there any code which can distinguish between the 2?

I have an Excel workbook which contains data entry fields, which have different types of data validation rules - like Lists, Date, Whole Number.
I do not want end users to remove these data validations as well as the formatting of these cells by doing copy/paste. So, I have implemented techniques mentioned in the following post, and elsewhere - to override the paste functionality and implement PasteSpecial values automatically.
[url]
To keep it simple, I'm only supporting pasting a single cell at a time.
Now my problem is this:
Doing the PasteSpecial values programmatically doesn't prevent the user from pasting values in the cell that violate the data validation rules. So, I can paste a string into a cell having data validation as Whole Number, or a invalid string into a cell having data validation as List.
The following post just suggests disabling paste whenever data validation is present:

But I would like to allow the paste operation if the value being pasted is a valid value for the cell's data validation.
In order to export an excel table into another program I first need to save the excel file as .txt. The .txt file can then be imported by the other program.
First I however need to make excel understand that the value should be a text and not a value. I therefore format the number as text (0000150235) by adding "0000150235". After saving the file as .txt the format changes from "0000150235" to """0000150235""". I do however need the format in the .txt file to be "0000150235". Can anyone tell me how I can save "0000150235" as .txt and get the value "0000150235" in the .txt file.
I have an excel sheet full of dates in text format and want to convert them into regular format. For instance, one of the dates listed is in text as "60801". I'd like it to show in regular date format of mm/dd/yyyy, so that 60801 becomes 8/1/2006.
Example......
In D2 I have: =B2
In D3 I have manually input: (space)3-08
As you can see the CONCATENATE puts the "39569" date in A2 But the second line puts the text date as I prefer. What I would like to do is put in a formula or macro in D2 and down that will change the "Mar-08" to "3-08" so it CONCATENATEs correctly to column A. Simply: I'm trying to avoid manually inputing the text version "3-08" (or whatever M-Y) into D2 down a hundred or so rows!

I faced an error "number stored as text"..how to i convert it to numbers format in vb.
Need to create a set of aligned text amts from various cells...Tried Format but unable to get right combination...I've looked at many threads and most seem related to getting amt from text instead of reverse.
Cell may contain nothing or a monetary amt, negative or positive. Output needs to be in format of "$9,999.99-" or similar...with leading zeros suppressed but a min of "$ 0.00" showing, so that above/below amts with be decimal point aligned in a fixed font situation.
I've almost gotten my routine finsihed but this is last remaining obstacle.
I'll get straight to the point: How can I change this text format from 474556788 to 0-47455678-8 (dash added after 0 and before the last number). I need to apply this to around 5000 rows (can't do that manualy). I want it to be int his format:
474556788 to 047-455678-8
Tks Auto Merged Post;474556788 to 047-455678-8 (This is the wanted format)
On the attached example i have a list of fractions (in the format ?/???). However, i have a problem when the fraction is 6/4 or 4/6 as excel rounds the nominator and de-nominator down to the lowest value so these fractions become 3/2 and 2/3. For these two fractions only i don't want this rounding down to happen.
I am open to any suggestions, but i was thinking of some vba where on pressing a button it would run a macro that went through the cells in the column and if the cell value is 1.5 (3/2) then format the cell as text and enter the value"6/4". For the 2/3 fraction, i think you may need to say if the cell is greater than 0.66 and less than 0.67 because this would possibly be harder to exact as the number of decimal places involved.
How to format different numbers to the same format (as text). Mainly I need code that would format numbers like 25, 25.36 or 254.60 to numbers looking like this 000002500, 000002536, 000025460. They must be of nine digit length with the last two digits as decimals.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to make user-defined format that puts a text in front of a number and/or a text.
Let's say I have A1: 13, A2: texttext A3: text7 and I want to format a lot of cells to "Ilike 13" / "Ilike texttext" / "Ilike text7"... ie add the same text in the front of the cell, no matter what the content is.
I did manage it seperately, with "texttext" @ for text and "texttext" # for numbers, but what's the general one?
I need to format some climatic data from a weather station into a desired format. There are a lot of cut&paste and transposing involved. I think it will be easy but tedious for anyone trained in VB to write a macro but unfortunately I am not. I've tried recording a macro but it turns out that it is not general enough to deal with all the spreadsheets that I've got.
I've attached a spreadsheet which shows the original format (in sheet 1) and the desired format (in sheet 2). To briefly describe, I only need the temperature data for 8am and 2pm, the rest of the information in sheet 1 is useless to me.
