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.
I'm trying to add code to validate the format in which users are entering in a date within my userform, and I am also trying to validate if they enter in a specific value within a combobox, they will be unable to enter data within a textbox further down in the userform. Here is how my code is currently written, but neither my date or data validations are working. I have bolded the new coding I added to an existing code that was created by someone else at my job prior to it being given to me.

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 0=NEW 100305 0 100314 0=NEW 100306 0 100313 0=NEW 100314 0 100315 0=NEW 100313 0 100316 0=NEW 100315 0 100293 0=NEW 100316 1 100291 0=NEW 100291 0=NEW 100292 0=NEW 100293 2=DELETE 100303 2=DELETE 100292 2=DELETE 100304 1=CHANGE 100291
Can a cell have a calendar button - for user to choose a date, and also have data validation? (so far I've played with validation, haven't found how to include calendar).
I would like to validate that the chosen date is at least TODAY+14, but also is a Saturday - is there any validation which will provide this?
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
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 used data validation to colour rows in one of my spreadsheets at work. The column that uses the data validation is the first column and has a drop down list of 5 words. One of which is collected, which currently indicates when the card has been collected by the individual in question and no further attention is required. It colours the rest of the row green. There is also a column that is entitled 'Date Collected'. Instead of having to input this manually, is there a way to automatically enter the date to be the date that the 'Collected' value was selected?
The title is misleading, I realise there will need to be some sort of IF statement in the 'Date Collected' column. It's been a long day already.
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'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.
I want the date input to be restricted a start date and an End date specified in two cells on the sheet. However, when I set up the Data Validation, ANY date will be accepted.
As an example cell Z1 contains the date 1/3/2014 and Cell Z2 contains the date 31/3/2014, so in the Data Validation box, the Start Date is referenced to Z1 and the End Date is referenced to cell Z2.
But I can enter 1/9/2020 and the Data Validation happily accepts that date.
I have 2 columns First Name & Surname. What I want to do is create a data validation list on the surname which results in the 2nd data validation list only showing the first names which link to one of the surnames.
i.e. If I selected Smith in the 1st validation list then I would only like to see 'Paul' as an option in the 2nd list
I am trying to set up a data validation to ensure that when a user enters a number in column A that matches a previously entered number in column A, the user is only allowed to enter the same date for the number it matches in column B.
I am setting up some validation on my userform. In this case if a user enters a date within two weeks of todays date they will not be able to proceed onto the next page.
Example: Todays date is 19/03/14. If a user enters 25/03/14 into 'TxtDate' they will not be able to proceed.
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.
I 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 have a cell in Sheet1, C5 that is a formula that returns one of 2 values.
I have a macro that copies and pastes values from this sheet into Sheet2, however I cannot get the cell V3 in Sheet2 to have the value of C5 in Sheet1.
There is a data validation list of 3 choices in V3, two of which are available from Sheet1 C5, but I want the 3rd option to remain manual.
I have been playing around with it and even tried the manual recorder, but no luck
I have a list of data by daily date only for days when the market is open. I need to select the data for each Friday (if the market was not open that Friday then I need to take the Thursday’s data) and copy that data into new cells thereby creating a set of weekly data. The daily data is in columns A to F and in rows 2 to 1400. The Friday data of each week is to be copied to columns G to L and to rows 2 to 300. I need to have the data without row gaps as I use this data subsequently.
I have attached a sheet with some daily data. I have manually copied a sample of Friday data to the desired location in red to show the solution I am looking for. An additional problem is that I need to copy across a daily moving average, from column F to column L, and being a calculation from daily data it does not copy and paste.
I have a spreadsheet with 5000 records and i would like to have a macro that can be able to filter by date and copy it to a new workbook.
i have a data validation that indicates dates and once i have selected a date for example "10/10/2013" and all data with that date will copy and paste as value to a new workbook .
This code basically copies data from one worksheet to another worksheet based on the date and works great.
However, I have been asked to changed the format of the spreadsheet and the code needs to be changed. The code is in "This workbook".
The code takes the data from the summary tab and copies it to the archive tab. I now need it to take it from the summary tab and copy it to the archive 2 tab.
I have attached a copy of the spreadsheet. Data and Archive2.xlsm‎
I need a Macro that can look in column A to find the date, and then drop down one row and move to column B and then copy the data in that cell to column C back up one row.
I've attached the workbook so you'll know what i'm talking about. I need the green cells to be moved to the blue cells all the way down.
COLUMN A =Date COLUMN B =Empty Row COLUMN C=Copy Details COLUMN D=Paste Details
I have the following code that performs a row copy based on selected dates which is then pasted to another sheet as a report. I need to also perform the same copy from another sheet with the same structure so the All_Report contains the data from both sheets. The name of the other sheet to copy the information from is "Closed_Requests".
"Sheet1" of Book1.xls contains the daily efforts of each members in the team. The detail changes automatically everyday like:
Date Name Task1 Task2 Total 1/1/08 Mark Design-2 Analysis-2 4 1/1/08 James Design-3 Analysis-2 5 1/1/08 Paul Implement-4 4
On the very next day the details will be automatically changed as:
Date Name Task1 Task2 Total 1/2/08 Mark Design-2 Analysis-4 6 1/2/08 James Design-3 Analysis-2 5 1/2/08 Paul Analysis--8 8
i.e. "Sheet1" will contain only the details of current date. I have managed to do it in "Sheet1"...
Here I need to add all the details automatically for each and every day in a separate worksheet ("Sheet2") from "Sheet1" of the same excel.
As soon as the date changed, then it will be reflected automatically in "Sheet2" in the next blank row for each member of the team... The details of "Sheet2" will be:
Date Name Task1 Task2 Total 1/1/08 Mark Design-2 Analysis-2 4 1/1/08 James Design-3 Analysis-2 5 1/1/08 Paul Implement-4 4 1/2/08 Mark Design-2 Analysis-4 6 1/2/08 James Design-3 Analysis-2 5 1/2/08 Paul Analysis--8 8
I am trying to build a summary report that pulls from two different worksheets within the same workbook. Here's the context of my problem:
Worksheet 2: Column A has a list of dates. The corresponding information for each date is within the row. Sometimes, there are repeated dates with different corresponding information.
Worksheet 3:This is my summary sheet. This report needs to update daily and only pull data related to "today's" date. My question is if i have three rows with the same date but different data, how do i tell my summary sheet to display all three rows for that date. So far, I can only get it to pull the data from the last row with that date.
I have a worksheet containing price information which is updated daily (sample attached). I need to copy the most recent day's data onto a different worksheet within the same file.
I have the first sheet named "DPF" where I have a column "Date", "FIT", "Group" On my second Sheet named "Tracker" what I do want to do:
I select a date for example 18-07-2014 (Cell E3), if cell E4 I Have "Fit" and F4 "Group" In C6 I have E3-15, to get the date minus 15 days (03-07-2014) In C7 I have E3-12 (06-07-2014) and so on
What I want is, if the date of today is C6 or C7 or whatever, use the index match function to get the number corresponding to the date chosen (18-07-2014) for the FIT. But, once I get the figure, I want to keep it, because with the if function, once we are the 4th of July, the figure for C6 disappears...
So either a macro to copy the specific data into another sheet or a another way to keep it. Because the idea as the end is to do different scenario based on the result got per period..
I have 2 worksheets, 1 with a table sorted like this (in a row):
component | start date | end date | assigned to
Second worksheet with a table like a calendar with dates and people (dates in the columns and people in the rows), every component is assigned to each person by dates.
I want the assignment from worksheet 1 to worksheet 2 to be automatically. i will set the start and end date next to the component in the first table and assign it to a person/s and it will be automatically get filled in the second worksheet (the calendar) under the person/s and under the same dates as set in the first worksheet.
I have a workbook with 2 worksheets being used. Sheet 1 has the months of the year starting with Jan in A1, Feb in B1 etc. On Sheet 2, I have a column of information. The first cell in the column eg. B1 has data validation list based on the months on Sheet 1. The information in the rest of the colum on Sheet 2 needs to be copied to the relevant colum on Sheet 1
