Differentiate Macro Code Message Box Response
Apr 21, 2008I need a macro to provide a message box with yes and no buttons - how do I get the macro to act in accordance with the button pressed by user?
View 2 RepliesI need a macro to provide a message box with yes and no buttons - how do I get the macro to act in accordance with the button pressed by user?
View 2 RepliesBelow is some code that I found on the internet some while ago. When Excel opens this code runs which brings up a message box prompting a user to select an option. If no option is selected within 15 seconds then the macro runs, else it depends on the selection entered.
The problem that I am experiencing is that sometimes when the user does not select an option the macro does not execute after the coded 15 seconds. The message box just sticks around until a selection is made.
Most of the time it works just fine... some of the time it doesn't. The problem would appear to have gotten worse since upgrading to Excel 2010.
So, my question is either:
1. Why the code does not execute as expected each time Excel is opened?
2. Is there a better / more robust way of executing the below code without using "shell"?

I cannot figure out how to get my error handler to work, or actually, not work. It seems to work fine when there is an error, but the code still gets read even when there was not an error. Basically, I am trying to open a file, which may or may not be there. When it is not there I want a message to pop up informing the user. However, when the file is there and it opens, the error handler still gives the message box. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Private Sub btnOK_Click()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Dim LCSfile As String
LCSfile = frmSelectFile.Listbox1.Value
On Error Goto ErrHandler
Workbooks.Open Filename:=sPath & sDate & "" & LCSfile & "QUANT.CSV"
ErrHandler:
MsgBox ("File is not quantitated. Please select another file.")
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
know if there is a way to tell and respond differently to how a cell is selected (i.e. mouse click versus arrow keys)? This stems from a desire to highlight selected cells when they are chosen. A previous post on some code I provided got me to this:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
With target.Interior
Select Case .ColorIndex
Case -4142
[code]....
However, this highlights cells as the user moves around the sheet via arrow keys (like leaving a trail). What I need is for cells to highlight ONLY if they are left clicked on by the mouse.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am working in excel 2007. I have been using the COUNTIFS function to pull out some summary stats from my data. For my data I have sample ID's which are a letter followed by a number e.g. A12, A20, A39, A50. I have 40 columns of variables I am looking at which for each sample ID have either a value of 0 or a numerical number. For each column, I want to count firstly any samples that are greater than 0 (i.e. they have a numerical value) AND if the sample ID differs. This is because I have multiple samples per ID and so I want to know how many different ID's have a numerical value.
Is this at all possible in Excel? I do not know all of the functions very well, so I cannot find anything that will allow me to look at differences in the samples ID.
I'm trying to differentiate rows based on a date in the row. I'm grouping dates together and that's where I'm running into difficulties. I'm breaking the month up into 5 segments which are as follows:
Segment 1: The 1st of the month through to the 1st thursday of the month
Segment 2: The 1st Friday through to the 2nd Thursday
Segment 3: The 2nd Friday through to the 3rd Thursday
Segment 4: The 3nd Friday through to the 4th Thursday
Segment 3: The 4th Friday through to the end of the month.
What I'm trying to accomplish is have rows with information. One of the cells in those rows will be a date. If the date fits into segment 1, the cell to the right of it will have a 1, if the date fits into segment 2 the cell to the right of that date will have a 2 and so on.
I need a formula that will calculate the number of days (ex from 10/1/08-1/1/12) and will differentiate between leap year and a regular year. I am trying to calculate interest between 2 dates and leap year is calculated on a different interest rate. Right now I have it set up so I have to manually type in the leap years in a separate field instead of being able to just you point a to point b.

Can we create a sub that we can refer to when a vba code is in error. Something as:
On Error goto "name of the sub"
In that sub, I would like to write in sheet1 , cell a1 the name of the sub in which the code is in error.
In cell a2, i would like to write the line in error in the VBA code.
finaly i would like to show a msgbox ("Contact your admin")
and then close the file
I need a message box with information before the code run. Yes - code run, No - exit code.

Now what I want is that an employee shall not be entitled to take more than one shoe in next one year from the date of last issue. In that case if again the person claims, a message will appear " Not Entitled."
My date format is dd-mm-yy.
I have a piece of code which under specific condition will output an error message box. The code is as follows:
If BuyQuote > 100 Or BuyQuote < 0 Then
MsgBox ("Incorrect Buy Quote Value - Must Be < 100 and > 0")
End If
How can I make it so that if this message box appears, the VBA programming will start from the beginning of the code again instead of continuing??
I would like to include a message within this VBA code, not sure of the code to use.
ActiveSheet.SendMail recipients:="dan@aol.com", _

I have 4 columns in a worksheet.
A B C D
number type date name
I am using an input box to enter the value of column D. After the value of column D is entered, I want a message box that displays the corresponding data in column A and B. with the vba coding?
This seems easy in theory but it's above my head. I have written code to add text and numbers from a userform to certain cells on a worksheet. Now, is it possible to display a message box after the code executes to acknowledge the code has executed successfully? I have tried simply adding the Msgbox function at the end of the code but that does not work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have this VBA code running in cell A1 which gives you a yes/no message box when you try to change the selected cell. I am trying to have the Target.Address = 'Specific Header Cell in Table' but I am not able to develop the code to do so. Here is the code:
[Code] .....
The main reason I have this message box is to prevent the user from changing the cell in the table because the titles in the tables are linked to macros. If they are changed, the macros will not run. Also, I am aware there are codenames for the excel sheets in a workbook. If there are codenames for the header titles in an excel table, I could link my macros to the codenames. As a result, I would not need this macro for the message box.
I have a worksheet with several columns (30+). One of these columns is "Date Opened". This "date opened" column can have dates as early as 01/01/89 and as recent as today.
Can a macro be made that does this
1. Data/Sorts the whole worksheet by the "Date opened" column
2. Brings up a message box in xx/xx/xxxx where format saying "Please enter the earliest date opened you would like to use, all other rows will be deleted"
3. Do just that, delete all rows that have a date earlier than the date entered in the message box.
So if the date of 01/01/2009 were entered into the message box, the macro would delete all dates in the "Date Opened" column that were older than that date.
And then, continue on with the rest of the sub, if neccessary.
I just want to see if this is possible, here is the code but what I want is a message box that display how long cetain code has taken to run.
I have most of what I need I just need to figure out how to take one varaible away from another to give the run time... but no idea where to start with it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have code to open another workbook and run a specific macro. I plan to then take that and copy it over to my workbook.
The problem I am encountering is when I run this macro, at the end of the code, a form/msg pops up stating it is complete. This then automatically stops my code from running (from my original workbook). How do I close this form in order to keep my code running?
I have a spreadsheet with a number of fields on it which must be filled in before the file can be saved, and if the user attempts to close the spreadsheet without filling in the required fields, I want a message box to appear asking for confirmation that the user wishes to quit, if yes, the sheet exits, if no, the sheet remains open
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet set up to automate calculations and control data input for in process quality control checks. The spreadsheet is basically a series of input boxes requesting information from the user. To control the input of part numbers I have some code for a userform which populates listbox within the userform from another closed spreadsheet (opens & closes without updating screen) & enters the selected data from the listbox into a selected cell in the spreadsheet
all the input boxes and calculations are working well, the userform works well, BUT when I include the userform within the code I get the following problem, an error saying that I am trying to change data in a protected cell where data has been entered and then protected by the VB code, even though the code is not trying to change the cell.
I have tried just loading and unloading the userform and everything works well, it only fails when I actually use the userform, and then close it. from this I am fairly sure the problem lies within the form so I have been through the form code line by line and deleted anything that is not vital and the problem persists. Here is the form
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Msg, Style, Title, Help, Ctxt, Response, MyString
Dim Part As String
Part = ActiveSheet.Range("B1")
Msg = "Are you sure you want Part No" & vbNewLine & Part ' Define message.
Style = vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2 ' Define buttons.
Title = "SELECT PART No." ' Define title.
Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title)
If Response = vbYes Then ' User chose Yes.
Set_Data_1 ' Perform some action.................
code that will be able to lookup a cell in Column J of Sheet1 by using a lookup value on Sheet2. The lookup value can be any cell in columns B, D, F, H, J, K, or N on Sheet2. The tricky part is, I want the result of this lookup (the result comes from Column H of Sheet1) to be placed as a data validation input message for the cell directly to the right of the lookup value when this cell is clicked.
For Example: Lookup Value is "416991" which lies in cell N8 on Sheet2. Look it up in Column J of Sheet1 and return the appropriate value "X" from Column H of Sheet1. "X" will then appear as an input message when cell O8 of Sheet2 is clicked.
I am trying to achieve a response from a msgbox which will either continue with the sub or exit. I think my code is right but it doesn't seem to work and just carrys on regardless.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find a formula I can use to figure response time. The working hours are 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM and I do not want to count the hours between 3:00 pm and 7:00 AM of the next day.
Example:
Cell A1 has the call in DATE 12/06/07 and cell B1 has the call in time of 10:00 AM.
Cell C1 has the response date of 12/07/07 and cell D1 has the time of 9:00 AM.
So what I need is a formula in cell E1 that would count from 10:00AM untill 3:00 PM on 12/6/07 then pickup the count on 12/07/07 at 7:00 AM and go untill 9:00 AM.
So in this Example the final response time would be 7 hours or 7:00.
Trying to accomplish a bit of data validation...
4 cells
A1 B1 C1 D1
The only acceptable input for these cells in a 'x'
If I place an 'x' in any one of the four cells than the other three must be blank.
I have a Macro (AutomateReport) that, among other things, calls and runs a macro (ReportStep1) in another workbook.
ReportStep1 includes three prompts asking the user to press "OK" to confirm that the data included is correct. When I call ReportStep1 as part of my larger macro I would like to suppress these prompts or automatically respond "OK" so that I don't have to be bothered with them.
SendKeys works sometimes, but I am hoping for a more reliable method.
