Date And Data Validation Not Working?
Jun 12, 2014
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.
[code]
Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
Dim lRow As Long
Dim lPart As Long
[Code].....

For some reason my data validation cell is not working when I first open up the spreadsheet.
I have to go to data validation, open it and just hit ok, then I am able to use my drop down list.
My data is this
"=OFFSET(name,MATCH(LEFT(B2,LEN(B2)),LEFT(address,LEN(B2)),0),0,SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(address,LEN(B2))=B2)),1)"

I have a data validation list does nothing upon start up (not working). The formula is:
=OFFSET(E$1:E$5,MATCH(C94,LEFT($B$3:$B$87,LEN(C94)),0)+2,0)
If I go into data validation and just click OK (leave formula as is), it starts working again, but the next time I start up the same thing happens.

I have a tracking sheet... in that I got in column C say "priority" there I have a drop down list date say P1, P2, P3
Now I need to restrict that if a user enters a data in the C2 and trying to enter a data in D2 leaving the drop down list data blank in C2. A error message saying "pls select priority forst" etc...
I got the following solution from moderator:
You can apply the Custom Data Validation formula =LEN(C2)>0 to D2, making sure that Ignore Blank is unchecked.
It works but, when I enter something in that cell it gives the error message and when I click OK or Cancel it just ignore the conditions and leave the data what ever I entered and moves further.

I have the following function in cell (table 2 column C) where I want to find a contact name from my table TMI if 3 criteria are true (client, account, NAM) For each contact I have 1 true combination of client/account/NAM but for each client/account/Nam I can have several contacts.
{=OFFSET(TMI[[#Headers],[Contact]],MATCH(1,(TMI[Client]=$B$1)*(TMI[NAM]=C3)*(TMI[Account]=B3),0),,COUNTIFS(TMI[Client],$B$1,TMI[Account],B3,TMI[NAM],C3),1)}
The function is working well but shows only the first contact name if I have 3 contacts for the same client/account/NAM. (I pressed Ctrl+Shift+Enter)
When I press F9 on the function, it shows all the contact names! so they are somewhere.
Hence, I have copied and pasted this function into data validation / list in the source but it came up with an erreur.
Table TMI:
A B C DClient
Account
NAM
Contact
Comments
[Code]..
Table with offset function:
A B C D
Chi
Account
NAM
Contact name
Comments
[Code]..
All client, NAM and account lists are dynamic !

I got 2 fields A2 = Date1 and C2 = Date2
The Date1 field comes from a dropdown list using Data Validation
I want Date2 to also have a dropdown list but to be greater or equal to Date1, is this possible?
Check the following example

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 am trying to do a validation against a date.
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?

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.

The code below is fired from a Worksheet Change Event on cell c18. The cell has a userform calendar control to select Date of Birth. What I want the code to do is check the age at the current date and if it is below 16 or over 25, then show the appropriate message. I cannot use data validation to not allow values outside this age range because there will be instances where a person's details can be added if their age is under 16 or over 25. I just need to alert the inputter in case they are unaware or have inputted incorrectly.
When the message box pops up, if they click Yes then the code should take them to the next cell for inputting. If they click No then it should stay in cell C18 and hopefully pop the calendar back up (I've not tested this bit yet).
The code as it stands brings up the "This person is under 16 years...." message no matter what date of birth is input.
VB:
Sub AgeValidation()
Dim age As Integer
Dim dob As Range
Dim AgeMsgAnswer16 As String
Dim AgeMsgAnswer25 As String
Set dob = Worksheets("Monitoring Form").Range("c18")
[Code] ....

I am now trying to create a excel macro to auto populate all the dates with reference to a start date and end date. The catch is that only working days are required in the range. My reference cells (start and end date) are in Sheet 1 while the destination cell range are in Sheet 2. The reason for creating a macro instead of a function is that the intervals between the start date and end date changes frequently (annual, semi-annual and quarterly) Best case scenario would be a button which I can just press after i input the dates to generate the range of dates in another sheet.

I have a log that I have data validations on.
Column C validates on a list called "Division"
Column D is supposed to validate based on the selection in Column C, and give the list based on Column C.
I had it working awhile ago, then I went and changed the lists. Now, the lists are not validating appropriately (I'm not getting the expected drop down in D based on the selected in C) and I don't know why its not working anymore.

I have a UserForm with Combo Boxes, List Boxes, Text Boxes etc. When the OK button is clicked I want it to ensure certain fields are not left blank and notify the user (see code below). This works great for the combo boxes but not for list boxes. It seems to skip over that code. In other words, in the code below, if a manager is not selected, it doesn't notify the user.

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.

Data validation in an Excel 2010 workbook.
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 the following code to check the date of birth entered into cell C18 and to alert the inputter if the age is either under 16 or over 25.
VB:
Sub AgeValidation()
Dim age As Integer
Dim dob As Range
Dim AgeMsgAnswer16 As String
Dim AgeMsgAnswer25 As String
[Code] .....
It works to some extent in that the correct message box pops up if the age is under 16 and similarly if over 25. If answering Yes on either message box then the correct thing happens. Its what happens if the inputter selects No thats not right. If the age is under 16 and the user selects No in answer to "Is this correct?" then the code is clearing the cell contents and showing the calendar again but is also popping up the 'Over 25' validation message box which then won't go away until Yes is selected. Also there are then multiple copies of the calendar open.
What I need the code to do is look at the date selected from a popup calendar in c18 and decide if that age is within the 16-25 year old range. If it is outside that then the inputter needs to be alerted to it. I can't use the inbuilt data validation because there are some scenarios where it would be acceptable to have an age outside of that range but we want to cover inputting errors as well as double checking the age.
When a msgbox pops up to alert the inputter and they choose "Yes" to say the date of birth is correct then I want the focus to go to cell C20 ready to input the next piece of information.
When the inputter selects "No" on the message box, then I want the original date to be deleted and the calendar to reappear so they can select another date. So effectively resetting the field so they can start again choosing a date like when they first entered the cell.

There is a range of quarters and relevant dates like from and till - means if you have 1 Q 2009 => it means from 01.01.09 till 31.03.09. I would like to have following in my excel. There is a validation for selecting Q from list, once you select Q, there is LOOKUP function displaying from and till dates. But however it's not working, in same cases it's working, but in most cases the from/till period is not relevant to selected quarter.

I'm trying to make it so certain fields are required and others are optional. Here's the code I'm currently using:

I'm trying to validate a cell in Excel 2007 that should contain only two letters.
Formula:
Code:
=IF(AND(LEN(A1)=2,ISTEXT(A1)),TRUE,FALSE)
When the value of A1 is JK, the result is TRUE
When the value of A1 is 12, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is 3K, the result is TRUE
When the value of A1 is K3, the result is TRUE
When the value of A1 is 123, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is JKL, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is 3, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is K, the result is FALSE
The LEN function works as expected, but the ISTEXT function does not, whenever the cell contains a number and a letter. I've tested the LEN and ISTEXT functions separately, and get the same results.
Is it me, or is it Excel?

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
First Name
Surname

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.
For example, if:
Row 3 column A = 1320
and
Row 3 column B = 16-Dec-07
and
Row 15 column A = 1320
then:
Row 15 column B must be 16-Dec-07

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 do not want to use a combo box for this)
