Data Validation - Copy / Paste Over Cells
May 1, 2014
I want to prevent copying and pasting over cells with data validation as this means the validation is overwritten. To get around this I've selected all the cells with data validation and unlocked them, then protected the worksheet with all boxes ticked apart from format cells, columns and rows.
This prevents copy/pasting from overwriting data validation but it doesn't prevent data being pasted in that doesn't meet the validation criteria.
So for example, say -1 is in cell A1, with no data validation. In B1 there is data validation, which doesn't allow negative numbers to be entered. If I copy and paste A1 into B1, the data validation isn't overwritten, but it doesn't stop the non validated data (-1) from being entered! If I then double click on B1 and press enter it recognises the validation criteria is not met.

I have a sheet which autofilters according to a validation list in cell E2 using the code.
I have then used subtotal arrays to calculate the mean, median, max, min and total count for whichever values the filter shows.
What I want to do next is have a code which will select each possible option from the validation list (triggering the autofilter) and copy and paste the values from each dependent formula into a new sheet.

Template is created where the users copy/paste the data from other file. Data validation has been performed with the following steps:
1. Macro inserts the vlookup formula into column A, which isused for validating data that is entered by user from column B to E.
2. If the data is incorrect the N/A will be displayed in column A and invalid data will behighlighted in red color in column B.
3. This validation goes through the loop and after the loop is finished the pop message will be displayed and macro should stop so the user can correct the data.
4. After the user correct the data, the macro needs to run again to make sure there is no further errors. If there are no errors, thehighlighted cells should be cleared out of color and pop.
Here is the code that runs by command button:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call FindNA
End Sub
Sub FindNA()
Dim ResultRange As Range
Dim ResultCell As Range
Dim iRow As Integer
[Code] ......

I set up a spread*** with drop-down menus for some of the cells. The user can only select values from that list and an error message pops up when something is typed it that is not in the list (via Data Validation
Error Alert).
So this works all fine ... except if the user copies and pastes a cell with a different drop-down menu into a cell overwriting the existing validation.
I cannot totally lock the work*** and if I lock the cells with the drop-down menus nothing can be changed. So how can I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to block all copy/paste operations that are copying the validation? I know that with the Paste Special I can have cells copied without the validation.

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 am using code to filter my 4 sheets Greater then 0 (zero)
After apply above filter now i need to copy multiple rows and paste on another specific workbook for paste i m using below code:
for 1st sheet with the name ("V2")
for 2nd sheet with the name("LV")
For 3rd sheet with the name ("F2")
and 4th sheet with the name("L2")
If I play above code one by one all is going very well,,,,,,or if use in this way all is going very well
But here is a big problem..........if any sheet have no value greater then 0(zero)....then code paste all data... e.g shssts("LV") .Range("C5:C54").Copy but C5:C54 have no data greater then 0(zero) and it will paste on another sheet c5:c54 and again new sheets data will paste below the c54 while c5:c54 have no data.
So I want if any sheet have no data with range is greater then 0(Zero) then skip the copy paste code or use like SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible) .

I have data in some of the cells within range A26:A39
These cells are populated via an IF function on another worksheet. Even though the cells appear blank (as in the value returned is ""), there is a formula in these cells. I think it's called formula blank?
I am looking for a way to copy the data from the cells within the range which are not blank (ie: not = "") and paste this data elsewhere on the sheet in a list with no blank spaces in between.
I anticipate that there will be 4 non blank cells within this range.
Ideally I would have data from the nonblank cells copied and pasted to cells
A40
A41
A42
A43

I am trying to copy and paste values from one column to another on the same sheet
E.g Column A
A1-Red
A2-Blue
A3-Green
A4-Red
If i filter to red and copy cells A1 and A4 and paste into column B, instead of pasting it into cells B1 and B4 it pastes it into B1 and B2...
How do i get it to paste on the same row?
My sheet im working with has thousands of rows, some need to be pasted, others need to be left as they are

I'm some cells with validation but when I copy some data (whose cells do not have the validation), and paste onto the cells with validation, the validation is no longer there.
How could I ensure that the validation is still there after the Copy-Paste action? Since the spreadsheet is used by multiple users, I can't force the users to do a Paste Special.

I have a range of cells with data from one day. This range is "C36:K63"
Each day, the prior day's range needs to be copied and pasted into a new range that begins two rows below where the prior day's range ends.
Thus, day two should copy "C36:K63" into a new range: "C65:K92"
As you can tell, the rows will change each day, but the columns will always remain the same.
How can I create a macro that allows a user to copy data from the most recent range and paste it into a new range?
i.e. if there is no data in C65:K92, the macro should copy the data from C36:K63 and paste it into C65:K92. Then, the next day, the macro would copy the data from C65:K92 and paste into C94:K121.

The sheet I have attached has three tabs one is a master sheet another is the production input and the last is an engineering input section, I have coded the production input section to input into cells and email the engineers when they have a new job, the issue i have is with the engineering input.
The engineers can currently go into this sheet and input the job number onto the engineering input section and it will show them the current issue from the master sheet (I have already entered 1002 in it), what I want them to be able to do is input into the white sections below the description and when they click on update entry a macro takes the job number entered into B3 and saves the information onto the mastersheet in the correct column/row which corresponds to the job they are updating.
However the engineers may need to go into the same job several times and update different information therefore the fields need to not paste into the cells if the input sections are blank.

I'm trying to paste data from a website. It's in the format:
abcd abc abcd abc
abc abcdef abc abc
The data is separated by SPACES. There is a different number of spaces between the data on each line (not sure if that matters)
When I paste it into excel, each line comes through as one cell. Is there a way to tell excel to recognize the spaces as new cells?
Figured it out. Data --> Text to columns

I’m simply trying to copy all the data on one sheet, open up a new excel application:
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Workbooks.Add
and then paste all the information to the new workbook. When I try, the charts don’t paste, only the values and formats.

Need VBA macro that will copy & paste (Special > AS VALUES) from one of two (Data A & B) sheets based on the contents of a validation cell ($D$4) in a third (Report) sheet? The destination starting cell would be $F$11. ALSO - I'd like to have the Named Ranges "DataAExtract" & "DataBExtract" used in the code (for the COPY region) so I can see an example of how to reflect my actual named ranges in my working file.
The reason for doing this is that the "c.Characters...." lines in my conditional formatting macros (attached) are not working on cells containing formula output (in my working file the Report page is all populated by VLOOKUP results), but the macros run fine on hard-coded values. In my attached workbook, I'd like to have the "NEW" macro for the copy & paste step fire first in the sequence of macros running after the FORM button-click (control located in cell $D$5 of the Report sheet), whether that's by writing a new macro and calling mine before the new one ends, OR by consolidating all of my macros plus the new one into one smooth progression.
With this low-tech approach I can get updated VALUES into the report area once the user selects a data source and a customer on the report sheet. The COPY ranges in my working spreadsheet will update based on the selections made in the report page. I tried recording a macro and then modifying the recorded code to add the "If > Then" functionality I'm looking for, but I'm pretty green when it comes to VBA code and syntax.

I know how to use the copy and paste special to copy a formula from one row down many rows in that same column. When I do this the formula will automatically change by 1 number {such as =IF(ISBLANK(C5),"",VLOOKUP($C5,Sheet1! $B$3:D4891,3,FALSE)) then when I click on copy and pasted special each following row will change by one number ---- to =IF(ISBLANK(C6),"",VLOOKUP($C6,Sheet1!$B$3:D4892,3,FALSE))
Can this also be done if the row you want to copy and paste is a row with data validation / a drop down menu? I simply tried using the same process for a row that has data validation the row with the validation has for the source =INDIRECT($B$5)
Is there a way to copy this down about 20 rows and have the ($B$5) change in each row by one number {such as ($B$6 THEN $B$7, ETC...) Or do I just have to do the whole data validation process for each row?

I would like to implement specific cell ranges from two specific worksheets each within 33 workbooks (which all have several tabs) into a summary page in a separate workbook.
The cell ranges are going across my spreadsheet in rows and I would like for them to transpose into a columns depending on the data which I have separated by catergory on the summary page. They are all on the same location in each workbook which is separated by country. The cell ranges are E26:P37 and I would like to transpose them and have them put below eachother without overwriting for my format on the summary page, how I can put this together in a macro?

How would you prevent the copy/paste of cells that have comments?
Also, how would you allow cells with comments to be copied and pasted without pasting the comments?
I also have an aside question about the forum advanced search. When searching for multiple search words, how would you type the search to include all words, for example, "prevent" & "paste" & "comments".

Perhaps an easily resolved issue, but one that stumps me. I'm building a spreadsheet that allows users to enter a date in a cell (A1). I want to restrict entries to only permit the date as MM/DD/YYYY, to include leading zeros, if necessary, so that the entry is ten digits long.
Then, I want that user entered date to transfer to another cell (B1) and transformed to the date with leading and trailing asterisks (*MM/DD/YYYY*). That entry will be displayed in bar code font. Cell B1 is to be generated by the spreadsheet, so that the user only makes the date entry in cell A1.
Formatting A1 as a date field presented many problems, to include an inability to select the ten-digit format. So I've formatted this cell as a custom cell, which works well in tranforming user entries such as 1/1/09 to the required 01/01/2009.
Problem 1: I can't get the data validation error alert feature to work properly. I set the condition to allow text length equal to 10, and every entry I try produces the error message. I've also set the condition to allow custom data using the formula MM/DD/YYYY. That also produces the error message regardless of entry.
Problem 2: I can't figure out the formula to add the asterisks to the front and back of the date for cell B1. The closest I can get is the asterisks with the date converted to a number.

Their is sheet in which some online data is comeing.
#1 I have to copy that data in another worksheet and its name shud be last 3 characters of the sheet in which data is comeing.
Say for example data sheet is abcd_2781 so new sheet name shud be 781
#2 now i have to copy the data based on certain validation
the sheet has 14 colums
the data keep coming in....every time it comes with a unque ID.
but when it comes there is a colum which tell us three operations
0=NEW
1=change
2=DELETE
And so when ever we copy data it shud only copy 0,1,2 it shud not copy new, change or delete.
Now there is one more colum in which their is entry ID, it carried diff ID for NEW transactions. But when ever their is change or delete it will be same what ever was generated when it was new. so the validation shud be
when its 1= change it should match its Entry ID and delete the complete ROW with all previous same ID keep this only
When its 2= Delete it should match its Entry ID and Delet the complete row with all same including itself.
i am attaching the input and out put data
Input data Output data
MDUpdateAction MDEntryID MDUpdateAction MDEntryID
0=NEW 100302 0 100302
0=NEW 100303 0 100305
0=NEW 100304 0 100306

I have managed to write a program to calculate golf handicaps. However, there is one aspect of the program I would like to improve and request your assistance once more. I have attached a diluted sample. It is very tedious to extract info from the Scores worksheet to the Posting worksheet in that I only know to copy and paste from the appropriate cells. The Posting worksheet will actually have 5 rows per player (as it will list a maximum 20 scores by date in descending order) and needs to be in alphabetical order.
