Disable Manual Entry In Combobox

Mar 29, 2007

I would like to use a combobox and I want to force the user to selected one item from the list, and not to be able to type anything in it.

My other solution would be to use a listbox but I like the combobox design better...

I found this code in a MSDN Forum but somehow, it does not seem to work.
Maybe it is because I do not know what to do with a "public class", or my Excel 97 does not support this.
I tried pasting the "private sub" in a sheet code (where my combobox is), but it did not work.

Public Class Form1
Private Sub ComboBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, _

ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) _

Handles ComboBox1.KeyPress

e.Handled = True

End Sub

Is this code actually working under excel 97 and if so, where do I have to put it?

Dependent Lists And Manual Text Entry

Sep 27, 2011

I am relatively new to Excel. I have figured out how to use named ranges as lists and use INDIRECT Data Validation to have a list's selection made in one cell populate a new list in an adjacent cell.

A1 contains a list of "Characters" (The choices are "Numbers", "Letters", or "Other")

Based on the choice in A1, B1 has to populate with the following:

- A list of available Numbers to chose from (1,2,3..etc)
- A list of available Letters to chose from ( A,B,C...etc)
- Text that instructs the user to enter text into the cell manually

(For example, their "Other" character might be something like "@#$%^&*!". (Not unlike my mental state trying to figure out this problem.) I want them to see the instruction to "ENTER CHARACTERS HERE" and then be able to type in the cell.

So I need B1 to either populate with a menu that is dependent on the menu selection in A1, or allow for free text entry depending on if they chose the "other" option in A1.

Preventing Manual Data Entry Errors

Mar 21, 2009

how to protect my spreadsheet from data entry errors.

I have a column of data that must be entered manually (column B). Sometimes, the entry in column B could have been calculated by running a formula run upon the data in column A. Sometimes it has to be entered manually.

Is there a way to use data validation or conditional formatting to make sure that the proper figure is entered into column B when it could have been calculated by a formula to avoid data errors?

Excel VBA - Restrict Cell To Input Manual Entry

Apr 3, 2012

ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Retailing Data Sheet").Activate

Automated Entry In Cell Instead Of Manual (without Causing Circular Reference)

Apr 22, 2008

I need to make cell A1 = cell D1.

Cell A1 is calculated by entering a number in cell E1[COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important][/COLOR][/COLOR]. Due to the various formulas used, when cell E1 goes up, the value in cell A1 goes down (and vice-versa - When E1 goes down, value in A1 goes up). Cell D1 is calculated using formulas UNASSOCIATED with A1 or E1.

I can't enter a formula for cell E1 to do the calculating due to the circular reference created.

I need some type of code that will automatically figure out what number needs to be in cell E1 to make cell A1 equal Cell D1 without creating the circular reference.

Auto Fill Doesn’t Work, But Trying To Avoid Manual Entry Of Rows.

Dec 31, 2009

=IF(OR(J4="",K4=""),"",NETWORKDAYS(J4,K4,Holidays!Z29:Z39)-1)

Above is the formula I am working with. I am inserting it into row 4 thru row 996 in a number of different columns. The auto fill function works great for this part of the formula….

=IF(OR(J4="",K4=""),"",NETWORKDAYS(J4,K4,Holidays!

However, this part Z29:Z39 I have to enter manually row by row until I can figure out a better way. Do you know an easier way?

To put this formula…
=IF(OR(J4="",K4=""),"",NETWORKDAYS(J4,K4,Holidays!Z29:Z39)-1)
Into any column row 4 thru row 996, without having to change Z29:Z39 for every row, since I cannot rely on autofill?

Disable Manual Save But Let VBA Save?

Oct 5, 2011

I need my spreadsheet to require that the user save it by clicking a macro button, and not the Save or SaveAs options in the file menu. I have found out how to disable saving entirely:

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
If SaveAsUI Then SaveAsUI = False
End Sub

But this of course prevents my macro button from saving too!

Is there any way to allow VBA code to save the spreadsheet while simultaneously preventing the user from saving through the menu?

Enable & Disable Worksheet Controls Based On ComboBox Value

Mar 5, 2008

I'm currently building an Excel database. This database has a few comboboxes and checkboxes that are tied to each other. If I select the combobox option of "Years", the "Quarters" combobox must be greyed out. In addition depending on which option is chosen, the relevant check boxes must be enabeled or disabled. I've written some code which runs fine, until I try and activate another macro button or if I add and rename a sheet(which is not linked to anything). What should I do? Here is a sample of my code. I have a feeling it's really obviouse but I cant see it..

Private Sub ComboBox2_Change()
If Sheets("InputSheet").ComboBox2 = "Years" Then
Sheets("InputSheet").ComboBox3.Value = ""
Sheets("InputSheet").ComboBox3.Enabled = False
Sheets("InputSheet").CheckBox6.Enabled = True
Sheets("InputSheet").CheckBox7.Enabled = True
Sheets("InputSheet").CheckBox8.Enabled = True
Sheets("InputSheet").CheckBox9.Enabled = True
Sheets("InputSheet").CheckBox10.Enabled = True
Sheets("InputSheet").CheckBox11.Enabled = True
Sheets("InputSheet").CheckBox12.Enabled = True
Sheets("InputSheet").CheckBox13.Enabled = True
Sheets("InputSheet").CheckBox14.Enabled = True
End If...................

Add TextBox Entry To ComboBox Range

Oct 11, 2006

I have a user form that has a combobox, two textboxes, and a button on it. When the form is loaded, the combobox fills with data from a worksheet I created. THe worksheet has a column with the item names, and another column with the quanity of each item. The combobox is filled with the item names. SO far I have this done. My issue is that when the user selects an item from the combobox, and enters a quantity in to the first textbox, and then clicks the button, I want the quantity in the textbox to add to the quantity cell that the part number from the combobox references to. Then I want this new quantity to show in the cell and the second textbox.

Combobox Match Entry Property

Nov 29, 2007

I have a ComboBox (cmbJobNo) in excel which lists a series of numbers. By using the code below other TextBoxes are automatically filled with related text once the ComboBox number is selected.
On typing a number in the ComboBox the number is predicted, which is great except when a number is not sequential. Say the number is 15304 (the next number in list is 15315), when 1530 is entered, 15304 is predicted and VBA jumps to the next data entry Textbox, the data entry person then enters 4 (they type a lot faster than me, without looking), which is incorrect for that box.

VBA does not allow the complete number to be entered. If I turn off MatchEntry the other related textboxes txtClient and txtProject) do not automatically update when number is entered.
What can I do to allow complete number to be entered and related Textboxes updated after number entry?


Private Sub cmbJobNo_Change()

If cmbJobNo.ListIndex > -1 Then
txtClient = Format( Range("Jobs").Cells(cmbJobNo.ListIndex + 1, 2), "0") ...............

ComboBox Add Entry To Named Range If Not In List

Feb 4, 2014

I am trying to work up a referral tracker for my wife's employer. I have Named Ranges on sheet 2, a running log on sheet 1. I also have a userform that is being populated from the ranges on sheet 2. I have the project mostly functional, except for a feature I would like to add in. I am interested in adding to the named range that is being accessed if the entry is not in list, via the combobox1 on the userform. Also, if possible, I would like the list to re-sort behind the scenes so the added entry is properly located in A-Z format for next time. After searching the web a bit, I found some code that might work with some tinkering, but currently I am having issues with it. Here is the bit I am trying to use.

[Code] ....

I have been getting 424 Object Errors and a few others as I continue to mess with this. I am also attaching the project if someone may see a better way of getting the task accomplished. The overall scope of this is to log all referral sources so monthly and yearly reports could be made.

Restrict Entry On Userform Unless Combobox Populated

Apr 6, 2014

I am trying to find out whether you can restrict the rest of the userform from being available, unless a certain field is entered.

I have a tax invoice userform, I want to restrict the user from entering any other data unless they have selected a customer.

There are other fields such as Customer Address, Customer Number, Disc% and Terms that populate through vlookup code once the customer is selected, so still need that to work once the customer is selected. I just don't want them to be able to enter any other data on the userform without the customer being selected.

I wasn't sure whether I needed to enter code into every other textbox or combo box that if cboCustomer = "" then pop up an error message, but that would require a lot of code to be entered. I have 30 comboboxes and 53 Textboxes that I want to restrict to not being available unless a customer is selected from combobox.

Match ListBox/ComboBox Entry As User Types

Oct 18, 2006

I have searched the forum but can't find an answer to my problem. I have a list of about 3000 streets, a sample of which follows:

ARBROATH ST
ARCOLA ST
ARGO PL
ARIES PL
ARMSTRONG AVE
ARTHUR AVE
ARVIN CT
ASHGROVE CR
ASHLEY GROVE CT
ASHWORTH AVE...................

I know how to populate a List Box, but rather than having to scroll through the entire lot I would like to just have to type in a few letters and the output only display streets that start with only those letters. For example, if I type in AS only the following appear in the listbox.

ASHGROVE CR
ASHLEY GROVE CT
ASHWORTH AVE........................

Amend VBA Code To Change Mandatory Inputbox To Userform Combobox Entry

Apr 25, 2013

I have 4 columns, If column B (Ref No) is filled in, the adjacent columns, C,D and E become mandatory and an input box pops up on screen one after the other for entry into each column.

My problem is that I require a drop down list and not a input box for the final column (status). So i have created a userform with a combobox dropdown. I am having problems connecting the combobox selection to the final column, and for the selected combobox item to go into the right cell like the input box entry currently does.

I have attached a sheet and also you can see the code below.

UserForm Combobox Wild Search Filter Based On First Letter Entry

Jun 18, 2014

I am looking to modify my combobox from a userform to Filter the list based on the first entry on what the user will add.

I have a code that will search for all entries in my "Control" sheet and passed this on to my combobox:

[Code] ......

I have, within a module, the following function code that the user find the entry by adding the first 3 letters of the search they need:

[Code] .....

I would like to know what to change in the function to filter the list, once the user adds a first letter and then press the dropdown from the combobox, to filter the list based on all entries from the first letter to only show entries with that letter.

If A is entered, then, show only the entries strating with the starting letter A, but at the same time if the user adds more letter to filter to the first then second letter:

If AB is inserted, then, show entries with AB only.

Where do I add this code also, is this another function or this could be inserted within my function?

Check If Any Entry In List Older Than 7 Days - Delete Second Double Entry?

Sep 11, 2013

I am having a sheet where I keep track of when online surveys have been sent to users. The users enail address (column K) may be on the list for several times, but I need to make sure that there is at least a 7 days pause between sending the first mail and the second, depending on the visit date (column G).If there are less than 7 days between two entries with the same email address, the user is not qualified for taking another survey.

I was thinking to write an IF formula which returns either 1 or 0 and then let conditional formatting highlight and HIDE the row via a VBA loop.

Tranferring Variable Entry From Form Entry To Macro

May 1, 2009

I used a form with textboxes for data input for one of my vb macros. Currently I have the private sub from the form transfer those entries to a remote cell on the spreadsheet, (like in column "HZ"), so that the macro that will actually utilize them can retrieve them. Is there a way to pass that data directly from what is entered in the form in the textboxes to the macro that will actually use them?

Is there a way to make excel 2007 pop up a warning whenever calculation is set to manual by a macro or any other means? I have on several occasions noticed formulas not working, only to discover that calculation was set to manual without me noticing. And then I don't know how much of my work may have been afffected. This seems like a pretty vital piece of information, and I am surprised that it's not made more obvious.

I am trying to calculate the present value of a terminal period in Excel. The manual calculation and excel PV function are off by about $98,000. Both calculations are using the same capitalization rate and terminal life. My PV Excel formula is as follows: =PV(discount rate-growth rate,remaining term (years),-terminal cash flow,,0)*present value factor in last year of cash flow) What is causing the difference in values? Is there something in the Excel formula that is causing the difference?
