Pop Up Textbox In Data Validation In Protected Spreadsheet With Certain Constraints
Feb 17, 2009This is the code where you click on a cell that has been input from Data Validation, it gets a pop up textbox showing the text input. One drawback I see here is that when the sheet is protected, one needs to tick 'Edit Objects' in 'Allow all users of this worksheet to:' window to get the textbox to pop-up otherwise no textbox is shown.
So this leads to the accessed user to have the ability of deleting and moving the textbox in the protected spreadsheet. Do you have any idea to Protect the sheet, Get the textbox to pop up,
Disallow user to delete/move the textbox.
TextBox Validation On The Fly
Jan 18, 2010I have a TextBox on a UserForm in which the user should be entering a series of coma separated zip codes. (12345, 54321, 15243, ...) The number of zips to be entered is variable.
I would like to validate entry as the user types. My first thought is to use the change event and tell it that only numbers, comas, and spaces are allowed, but that doesn't do anything about ensuring 5 digits per zip or having a space after each coma.
Is there a Format function that would allow for a variable number of zips? What else might work?
Date Validation In Textbox?
Nov 16, 2011I have a text box in which date will be entered. I am using the following code to validate and format the date.
Code:
Private Sub txtTDate_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
If IsDate(txtTDate.Value) Or txtTDate.Value > Date Then
sDate = DateSerial(Year(Date), Month(Date), Day(Date))
[Code]...
I expected it to return error if the date entered is less than Current(System's) date. This is not working.

Me.Label_expiry.Caption = "expiry as date:"
Else
Cancel = True.................................

Nested Data Validation: Figure A To Enforce Dual Data Validation On A Single Cell?
Aug 19, 2009I'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.

Numeric Validation Of User Form Textbox
Aug 13, 2008I want one procedure that will validate the CURRENT textbox (not named by name, to allow for the procedure to be included in the change event of several different textboxes), to see if it is numeric (decimal places allowed) in Excel 2007.
I followed the instructions here: {url}, which describe exactly what I want to do. So I put the final procedure listed on that page (the dynamic validation code) into the private module of the user form object as listed below:
Private Sub pipes_Change()
OnlyNumbers
End Sub
Private Sub OnlyNumbers()
'This procedure checks to see if the value
'of the current textbox is a number or not
If TypeName(Me.ActiveControl) = "TextBox" Then
If Not IsNumeric(.Value) And .Value <> vbNullString Then
MsgBox "Sorry, only numbers are allowed."
.Value = vbNullString
End If
End With
End If
End Sub
I then ran the form and typed a number into the "pipes" textbox that had been validated. A compile error is thrown: "Invalid or unqualified reference", highlighting the ".Value" portion of IsNumeric. I tried to remove certain parts of the code, such as the IF statement and the "And .Value <> vbnullstring", but nothing works. I have a feeling it is because this code was created for Excel 2003 (though I'm not certain).

Formatting TextBox And Check Which TextBox Is The Active TextBox In The Loop
May 18, 2006I am attempting to format some TextBoxes from within a For/Next loop. I need a way to check which TextBox is the active TextBox in the loop. Using i as the variable, I came up with this code snippet: Me.Controls("TB" & i).Text = Format("TB" & i, "mm/dd/yy")

How To Use INDEX Formula In Conjunction With Data Validation To Output Data
Jan 9, 2014Essentially, I would like a user to be able to select a PUB from the Data Validation drop down in row 2 of the PUB RATES sheet so that the corresponding information in the DATA sheet autofills.
Currently, this works only for the first column under each PUB when selected and this fills across all 4 columns (rather than the respective information for each column filling).
Also, the Data Validation dropdown includes blanks which I would like to exclude.
I have used a Range Name for the Data Validation of each PUB so that these can be drawn from a separate sheet as I don't want all the DATA content on the same sheet as the PUB RATES content.

Oct 27, 2009I am trying to learn the concepts, then apply them to a set of actual worksheets. I am trying to use named ranges from one worksheet in another worksheet. The named ranges need to expand. Although I can get the add data to a dummy worksheet to work within the same worksheet and I can even get a named range to work in the foreign sheet.
My problem is, when I can end up adding the additional data to the named range, it will only add one name. I have a number of named ranges that are referenced on various worksheets. The idea is, certain named ranges should be able to expand so I donft have to type them all in. (There could be hundreds of manufacturers or models.) I would also like them to be able to sort themselves after additional names are added to the named ranges. I would also like them to auto populate as well. I am using Excel 2003 SP3 (11.8307.8221). I have enclosed the file. Drop down lists (named ranges) are on the worksheet called DROP DOWN LISTS (LOCKED) **ITfS NOT CURRENTLY LOCKED**.
The data validation issues are on the worksheet called Rev7.0 Wood (Basic Sheet.) There are other instances to use these, but I hope to learn to do them myself on the other worksheets. Of particular interest is Column f.................

Data Validation :: Limit The Data Available On The List
Jun 28, 2009have created a list obx using data validation. My question is, is there a way to limit the data available on the list.
Example: sheet 1
A1 A2 A3
Address A
address p
address s Date
Sheet 2
has data validation list that consists of all of A1 a named range called "address". Everything works great.
I now want to be able to limit the available choices in the list depending on what cell the user is in
example: if user is in sheet2 a1, i only want them to be able to pick address that have an "A" or "p" in cell A2 on sheet 1
I tried to acomplish this using conditional formatting, I format my named range with different colors, but the colors do not carry over to the data validation list on sheet2.
