I want to use the Validation function under the Data menu to check a cell for a number range, a blank cell, or for one or more spaces. I have a formula to do the first two but not to check for one or more spaces. I'm running Excel for Mac 2011.
View 5 RepliesHow can I check if a cell has data validation with a VBA procedure?
I want to do this because I am using a procedure to add data validation and I get an error if the cell already contains data validation.
i need some formula to data validation with this criteria :
allow only text "DROP" and "check" ...
Is there a way to see if a textbox is blank.. what I mean is, there may be some spaces in the text box which make it seem that there is something in the Textbox but all they are, are blank spaces.. no numbers in otherwords..
On a userform I have a textbox7 to enter in only the last 4 digits of the persons shop phone #. I have it coded that if the textbox isn't empty, it will put the required extension "X-" in front of it to identify it as a phone extension. If the cell is empty, it will remove it so it doesn't put the X- in the database without a phone #.
Finally the problem, if there are spaces in textbox7, no numbers, it will think that something is in there and put X- .. this messes up the database.
How do I check the textbox to see if it has numbers in there.. This is my code now...
' If TextBox7 is empty Then Phone = Blank
If TextBox7.Value = "" Then
PhoneC = " "
Else
' Preps Phone number with X- for extension
Fourdigit = TextBox7
Plus = "X-"
PhoneC = Plus + Fourdigit
End If

I having trouble getting this IF statement to function properly. The Bold section is the part that will not function properly. I have checked all the spelling, spaces, but for some reason it wont display properly.
Based on the above is there a way to make this a type of lookup?
Im at wits end with all the ifs.
I am in need of 2 validation macros (formulas) to enter into the validation criteria formula box when creating a custom validation.
1. A formula that will generate an error if there is a space in the text entry. Example:060107_Halo3CG prev.mpg would be an invalid entry due to the space after CG.
2. The same formula as above but this one also needs a 50 character limit added to the criteria.
is there a formula which can locate instances of same text even though due to spaces it may look different? for example, "bad apple" and "badapple" are essentially the same.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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 need to disable the normal Print Icon and Print function from the menu bar in excel. I did find an article for this but it disabled the function for all excel spreadsheets! How can I overcome this so that its only relevant to this particular worksheet.
The reason I want to disable the normal printing functionality is so that the end user clicks my own print button which in turn before printing will check if 2 cells in my worksheet match. If they do not match a message will appear and they won't be able to print the worksheet(in essence a certificate). So I need to validate cell a1 against cell a2

I have a spreadsheet that pulls in a log file after running a macro with 100000eight digit numbers which may or may not have a record in the system. These numbers are produced by using any seven digits and adding a check digit at the end for an eight digit number using the mod function specifically Mod7...=MOD(A1,7) , for example, if cell A1 has 1234567 the mod7 function will produce the check digit 5 then concatenating for the eight digit number 12345675. the next number will be produced by adding 1 to the end of the 7 digit number 1234567+1=1234568 then concatenating again the number with the check digit 6, 12345686. this would be sequential order.
my spreadsheet gets all the eight digit numbers with no record and sorts them in MOD7 sequential order in one column. since the spreadsheet ignores the eight digit numbers with records. my compiled list of numbers have non sequential numbers in the list.
i need a way in VB to loop through 100000 lines (column A) and find the first and last number of a MOD7 sequential range and place the first number in (column B) and the last in (column C).
I have figured a way to do this in a spreadsheet but it takes too many functions and calculations in 100000 lines so the spreadsheet takes too long to open and sometimes crashes!
I'm looking for a function which will check if the cell value is a valid UK registration number plate format.
True if it is, False if it isn't.
I've tried myself and had a look around but am unable to find a solution to my problem.
If also possible, if false, to make to necessary amendments to make it a valid format...ie If some lower case values, make them upper case, if there is a space entered, remove it, if a O is entered instead of a 0, correct it and show the corrected value when the function is run. For all that it can't do that with, then leave as False.
I understand the second part may not be possible, just identifying whether or not the value is a valid format. I have something similar which does this for UK postcodes, but am hitting a brick wall trying to do the same for UK registration number plates.
Got a table where I've placed Data validation - List on them.
Placed a macro on a button so that the data on the table where the validation list is placed is transfered to another sheet (same workbook).
What I need is a to modify the macro assigned to the button so that when the button is clicked to activate the macro:
a.) Can identify if there are any blanks on specified cells with validation list
b.) Stops the macro from copying the fields to the other sheet
c.) Alert the user of the blanks (an alert stating there is a blank would suffice)
d.) Alert should preferably be similar to a Stop alert from Data Validation.
Can anyone help? Been reading through several threads but don't seem to find anything that could help me - tried reading a Visual basic thread and now i've got a headache....

I 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 want to set vlookup but have spaces in the start of source and destination data is there any help for trailing this from vlookup. i have upload the sheet. i also tried vlookup("*"&.............) but not working
View 3 Replies View RelatedNormally I would use trim or substitute to get rid of the spaces from the data. However, this time, they all don't work.
some samples below. : some numbers are text version, some are numerical numbers.
So, are there any other ways to get rid of the leading space as well?

In my spreadsheet, column A, I have a list is part #'s. I have found at the end of my part #'s there are several spaces in each cell. I need to remove these from the cells so that my formulas will be easier to use. Is there a way to do this? The part #'s very in length and format. They would look like this "100020x0 ".
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some data that is seperated by spaces. I need to split the data so each is in a seperate cell and then remove the spaces. I can do this if there is only one space inbetween the data, but that is not always the case. I attach a workbook with examples.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've inherited this monster of a spreadsheet that is consistently being added to and updated. Everyweek a new column is added and data entered. When one row is done, it gets cut and pasted to the Inactive sheet; however, the problem I am encountering if that the rows all have different amounts of columns, depending on when they were added and how long the items were on the sheet.
For example:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
[code]....
So when I go to move row 1, when it becomes inactive, to the Inactive sheet, I have 8 columns of data that I need to cut and paste to make it line up with that sheet, which goes monthly. Is there any way to automatically cut out the empty columns of data for each row so that it can be condensed, rather then going through each one?
Suppose I have a list (mine is several thousand lines) with city names. In this list some has manually input some names with double spaces between multiple word names -- Example (using dashes to represent spaces in this case):
Maple-Grove
Maple--Grove
I know about the function TRIM, but that only works at the start or end, I need something simple to trim the extra space between two words.
My V-lookups are not working. I have data with extra spaces before or after the word. The table I am looking up does not have extra spaces. I'm trying to to a TRIM(data with spaces) and then copy and paste the values so that the spaces go away and the TRIM is not taking my spaces out.

I can do this manually (by inserting two cells), but I wondered if there is a way to do this automatically?
(I have a column organised with the spaces immediately to the left of the column I want to change.)
I have a macro which opens one excel file, then copies the data into another, dead easy. However the first file is 'downloaded' from a bespoke package, where (for whatever reason) the package appends a number of spaces (" ") after data in one of the columns,
So sometimes the data will contain one, ten or more extra spaces (no telling how many) ie, it could look like "AB ", "AB ", or "AB " etc
Ideally What i need is a small bit of code that once the data has been imported to my sheet it can run and 'strip' extra spaces from the column, lets say column f, to leave all the data in this column to look like:
"AB"
"AF"
"CD1"
"VFE"
I am drawing a blank, any simple lines of code?

and D1 to get like this, "[HH001] motor gear case"
