When I use list validation with name (Data validation List. Inseret name difine) and then trying to write manualy a differnt value (not from the relevant list) I am not being warned like I get when I choose a list . And then even when I have a list or a Name If I copy a diffrent value I am not being warned.
I have a lot of links on my excel page, links going to videos. Everytime I click the link, I have this message :
"there might be viruses... are you sure you want to open this file?"
I know there must be a way to take this message off : I worked with it for months, and then it suddenly disappeared. But now that I formatted, it's back again
I have an excel sheet there i am maintaining the details of our sales invoices. Invoice no is in the column D . My concern is while entering a new number in the column D, excel should look at the entire column and give an error message if the no is already exixting in the column.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a range of cells and I would like a warning message to pop up if a value over 0.1 is entered. I'm sure it is pretty easy to do, just can't find any info on here and I'm not great with Excel.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have this problem: I have a workbook with a formula liniking to another workbook. When I open the workbook, I click on "update links" and then I get this warning message:
"The workbook contains one or more (than one) links that cannot be updated.
* To modify the origin of links, or to look up to update the values again, choose Modify links
* To open the workbook as it is currently , choose To Continue"
I cannot understand where is the problem, the link is updated, state of link is "ok", I even can open the origin from Modifiy menu --> link --> open origin
Everytime I open the excel file I am working on I get a message saying that the file contains macros.
I have deleted all the macros I could find under "Tools" and "Macros" but I still get Module1.sortie, sortie and sortie listed. I can delete Module1.sortie but for the other two, sortie and sortie, I only have the "cancel" and "create" options.
We are using Excel 2007. The person I'm trying to help has a column with dollar figures format as Number with the obvious two decimal places. If we go to Home>Find&Select>Find and type in the value EXACTLY as it appears with Look in: changed to Values, it finds all instances of the value just fine.
Now, if I flip over to the Replace tab because she wants this specific dollar figure replaced with another specific dollar figure, my only option under Look in: is Formulas, so trying to perform the replace gets me a warning message that "Microsoft Office Excel cannot find a match".
I am writing a roster spreadsheet and it has cells with drop down lists using validation lists to fill in the start and finish times, as we run a nearly 24 hour business it is possible to accidently start someone at 2.00am and finish them at 10.00pm. In the cell which calculates the time rostered I want it to display a messagebox if the hours exceed 10 hours or go into negative.
I need to "wife proof" this sheet as this stuffs up the total calculated hours and total costs.
Would I do this through validation on the cell with the formula calculating the times orr though a macro on the sheet module?
I have a macro here that turns exported text into delimited text, but it keeps prompting the user "Do you want to replace the cells"...can I somehow automatically bypass this prompt and always say yes?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to have a pop message display when users of a certain form "X" out of the form. Below is what I came up with but it does not seem to be working:
Code:
Private Sub IntroUpdate_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Call MsgBox("User closed the program before any formulas were updated.", vbExclamation, ".: ALERT: FM Program Tabs :.")
End Sub
Currently the above is in the code section of the form (titled: IntroUpdate).
Also if the form unloads I do not want the message displayed - only in the event that a user "X" out of the specific form titled: IntroUpdate).
I have several workbooks that use macros from my personal macro library (MyExcelAddIns.xlam).
Some of these, especially new ones, get an error message every time I save them: "Privacy warning: This document contains macros, ActiveX controls, ... These may contain information that cannot be removed by the Document Inspector."
Then after I save it once or twice, the message goes away. Why am I getting this message? Why only sometimes? What can I do to get rid of it entirely?
I want when Mold Capacity is more than available. i.e only Show warning Message to user

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a macro that will find identical adjacent cells and merge them automatically without the standard warning prompt (of only retaining the data in the upper left cell). In the following attached example, on the worksheet 'Control', the button 'Automerge' should find all the identical cell groupings in the entire table and merge them immediately without a warning.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI thought what I wanted would be simpler than I have found. What I am trying to achieve is for any user trying to enter anything other than a "Y" into a cell would get an error message. In a nutshell I have in column A colleague names and from there 7 columns representing the days of the week split by a "spacer" column. This goes on for seven 4 week periods followed by a column that calculates how many "Y"s and into a formula that gives a running percentage.
My problem is that as there are several people that input data, some put multiple "Y"s so making the formulas throw up erroneous figures. That is why I am after a simple solution to stop any entry other than a "Y". I am guessing this would be better done via macro code?
On my spreadsheet, I have a large number of statistical calculations based on user-entered data.
Some of these depend on the number of replicates the user enters, so I have cells such as =COUNT(A1:A20) in A21.
Obviously, some things go wrong if there is only one piece of data, so I would like to have a message box appear if, for instance, the count is < 3.
Data validation doesn't seem to work, as A21 is the result of a formula, not user-entered data.
I want to display a warning pop up message when the following cells (Cell A1:A10) is greater and equal to 3.
I would like some code in VBA

View 9 Replies View RelatedCells A1 to A10 contain names of different cars, what i would like to do in VBA is when i select any individual cell to the right of these the name of the car appears as a message (as if i had gone DATA -> VALIDATION -> INPUT MESSAGE -> CARS NAME).
Tried positioning a Userform next to the active cell but when i scroll down the page and select a cell the userform is to far down the screen to be seen.
I have an input msg for a cell (in the data validation box). Whenever the cell is selected, it pops up the message box right by the cell, is there any ways we can position the msg box at our discretion? I can drag it down while the cell is selected but even if I save the file and re open and then select the cell, the msg box pops up right by the cell and not the place where i had dragged it earlier.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using Windows 7 and have a piece of code that brings up a warning message after 20 minutes to warn the user they have been in a workbook for too long.
If they have the Excel application window minimized, is there a way to get Excel to take the application out of minimized mode into max screen, before revealing the message.
Currently when the warning message activates, the excel icon just flashes in the start bar. Some users may not see this.
Here is the code I have so far:

I have already tried simply adding a piece of code with maximize screen, however this doesn't seem to work.
I want to have a warning message appear when a particular cell function result is a specific number, probably very simple to achieve.
View 9 Replies View RelatedCan data validation be used to enter a text message if no numeric value is entered in the cell?

Excel spreadsheet, that contains several columns. Three of these columns contain text data that is selected by using a simple drop-down menu sourced from a list. If an attempt is made to enter text data not in the associated list an error message is displayed. Easy so far.
I need need to extend the text data validation across all three columns so that only specific combinations of the text in the three columns can be used which is reflected in a further list. These combinations will be counted elsewhere and so needed. Therefore, if i attempt to enter a combination of text columns that is not reflected in the list, this too will present an error message stating 'combination not valid', or words to this effect.
I have a spreadsheet which I have formatted with validation rules for each cell. I have protected the sheet so that only certain cells can have info entered.
I also have a second spreadsheet with a bunch of data. If I copy this data and Paste Special it into my specially formatted sheet (Values only), all of the data copies over regardless of my preset validation rules.
I would like error messages to pop up for every incorrect value though.
I have multiple data validations with input messages. For the new user, this is handy, but for the person that does this a lot, they get in the way. When I open the sheet, I can move one message to the side of the page and the rest of them come up at the same spot but when I save, exit, and reopen, the message comes up beside the cell and I would like it to always stay to the side of the page.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have four cells c1 thru c4. The SUM of these cells must equal 1. I want to display an error message "sum of cells not equal to 1.0" but only when data has been entered in all four cells.
For instance =SUM(C1:C4, "<>1") should display the error message. Is there a way to write the formula with an IF statement and still use data validation with error message box?
Assumptions:
-Will ignore blanks
-Error message "Sum of cells are not equal to 1.0" until values in all four cells have been entered, not after a value is entered in a cell. (validate expression after all four cells have values or blank)
Scenarios:
c1 = .25, c2 is blank, c3 = .25, c4 = .50 TRUE no error message should displays
c1 = .25, c2 = .25, c3 = .25, c4 = .50 TRUE no error message should displays
c1 = .25, c2 = .30, c3 = .25, c4 = .50 FALSE error message should display after value is entered in c4
etc
What I don't want is for the error message box to display after .25 is entered in c1 because the user is still in the process of adding values. Can this be done using Data Validation in Excel 2010?
