Disable Validation Error Messages
Oct 9, 2008
Is there a way to disable all error pop up messages from coming up due to an invalid entry in a cell that has data validation? So when a user types in a value, it doesn't pop up saying "retry, cancel, etc"? Just to save time and make it more user friendly, it would be nice to just dis-allow the entry, so when someone types an incorrect entry it just erases it or stays on the cell and keeps it highlighted but doesn't let you click away...something like that. This would be applied to the whole workbook and is for XL07.

I need to disable all kinds of messages that could appear in front of the user when it opens the workbook. I am already using DisplayAlerts=False and On Error Resume Next? Can we also do this through excel application itself and not using VBA ?

See the attached sheet. I am trying to add together two figs which are linked to calculations which have formula built in to stop error messages when there is a 0 / 0 = #value type error. However when these two cells are added, if the cells are blank I get an error message. And if only one cell has a value, I get "" with my existing formula. what I need to do to get a result of 7 if for example cell A4 = "" + B4 =7. At the moment my formula shows "" in the sum total of these cells

error message should not take letters, signs etc onli numbers and if number 0 is entered it should stopped.

if it is at all possible (and if so, how) to CREATE your own error message in Microsoft Excel.
Basicaly, I am wanting to create an error message if two cells' figures do not match up.

I have set up some cells with formulas to be worked out in the future. But the #VALUE! error message appears because there is nothing to work out yet! I've attached the sheet

I have a total box which should add up to 720 when other cells have data entered.
Is there a way that I could put up an error message if the total is not 720 in that cell when someone tries to save the worksheet?
Or maybe for eg, cell A1 does not add up to 720, if they then try and move on to cell A50, the message would appear then?

I'm guessing this is not (easily) possible, but I thought I might just ask in case: Can we change the messages in VBA run-time errors displayed by Excel. Better yet, I would like to avoid the Excel generated error box, and just have a text message written into a particular cell.

I have a spreadsheet which is linked to several other worksheets. I have managed to include formulas to count how many cells have numbers between 101 and 5000 by using this formula -
=sum((h2:h500>=101)*(h2:h500<=5000))
but now I want to count the number of cells in another worksheet that are equal to or less than zero. When I use the same formula as above it counts all the blank cells. I have tried using a countblank formula and then deducting this from the result, but unless the other worksheet is open the countblank formula does not work.

A list in A2 of Sheet 1 of workbook has values "Select", "Yes", "No". How can I get the functionality using VBA so that until a certain rule is met (say A1 becomes 1) selection of items in the list is disabled? (Or any selection of items in the list returns a value of select only?

I have produced an order form and one of the columns is 'availibility' with all cells in this column set to a validation list containing 'Yes,No'.
If the user selects 'no' for a particular item's availibility, i want that row of cells to disable in some way. i.e change colour to grey and become locked.
If the user selects 'yes' the row for that item will remain unlocked and will not change colour.

I'm using Excel 2003
Cell D7 - data validation reads as such: It is a List and the source is I6:I7. I have In-Cell dropdown selected. Ignore Blank is not checked.
I now password protect the sheet and only D7 is unlocked. real simple, the person using it can only use D7 and select one of two in the drop down menu.
The problem is, if the user clicks on D7 and hits delete, the cell goes blank. How can I avoid this?

Range("C6:C20").Select
With Selection.Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateCustom, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
xlBetween, Formula1:="=aantal.als($C$6:$C$20;C6)=1"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
.InputTitle = ""
.ErrorTitle = ""
.InputMessage = ""
.ErrorMessage = ""
.ShowInput = True
.ShowError = True
End With
When i start this macro i get an error in line ".Add Type:=xlValidateCustom, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
xlBetween, Formula1:="=aantal.als($C$6:$C$20;C6)=1" (aantal.als = count.if)
The error i get is 1004, "Door de toepassing of door object gedefineerde fout".
Sorry i don't know what the english translation is.
When i put this validation manualy it's working fine, what's wrong in the code, am i missing something?

I am trying to read Formula1 from the the Validation object. If the cell does not contain a Formula1 - I get on object error.
In:
http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?p=95521
Derk suggested "That error occurs when the activecell has no validation. Some of the properties return as "codes" so you will need to figure out what say -1 means for alertstyle." I do not know how to test for this.

I am currently creating a form to hold 2 drop down lists that change depending on the selection in the first one. I had never done this before and taught myself and got it to work minus one problem. As soon as I input the formula under the Data Validation the error: "The Source currently evaluates to an error. Do you want to continue?" pops up. Right now the formula works except for the last 6 options in my first drop down. When I select them nothing pops up in the 2nd drop down menu. I have double checked and triple checked that I have no spaces or anything in my LIST on worksheet 2 or any of the names are input correctly.
A7 is the first drop down - PROPOSED
B7 the second. - ITEM #
Lists and data to populate the lists are on worksheet 2 with the "List" at the bottom of worksheet 2...

I have created a daily operating room schedule in which each time slot has a drop down box for the Doctor doing the procedure and the Group of doctors from which he/she came.
It is a yearly schedule with each day of each month duplicated on a tab for that month - the same daily schedule for each.
I have been able to duplicate each day right up until the 25th of the month in which I attempt to save the spreadsheet and am given an error stating it can not save some of the data, though the data appears to be intact (the validation drop down lists)
Upon closing and reopening the spreadsheet, all of the cells that contain validation including and after the 25th of the month are simply gone.
I have attempted to attach a copy of the file but I keep encountering an error with the database.
Zip file with xls file has been added

I'm working on a function that gets its values from a Data Validation List.
My problem is that I want the function to return a value when an item in the list is selected and another if the user did not make a selection... just a basic if....then....else ... but the cell where I call this function shows the #VALUE! error while no item in the list is selected.
I call the function like this:
=myFunction(RC[-5], RC[-2])
where RC[-5] is the Data Validation List and RC[-2] is a cell where the user should enter a number
why I'm getting the #VALUE! error instead of my message
The function basically looks like this:

I have a excel document that is very heavy with Data Validation List Boxes. Below is just one example. Error handling is what I am trying to figure out.
Description:
I have 3 List Boxes.
One list box data is based on data selected in the previous list box.
1st List Box uses this formula: =Series
2nd List Box uses this formula: =INDIRECT($C$2)
3rd List Box uses this formula: =INDIRECT($C$3)
It all works! HOWEVER....
If user decides to go back and change selection in first or second list box, and forgets to change the data in the second or third box, then data will be incorrect. How do I solve this problem?
Is there anyway to write something so it would give them an error message and instructing them to correct the data?

I have a Macro that opens numerous excel files.
What code do I require to cancel the startup message?
ie. The message that displays "Disable / Enable Macros" (security setting cannot be changed, so message is always displayed).
Plus I then have some startup message boxes which I manually click OK to continue, but how do I cancel this messages using VBA Code?

Is there a way to turn off those annoying error message boxes that pop-up when a line of code is incorrect? I pretty frequently go to another area of code to grab some previous code to copy and paste, and the error message box pops-up, so I have to hit OK to close it. It would be nice if it still highlighted the problem red, but I'd even give that up for those boxes to go away.

I'm trying to create a more user friendly (and easily updated) gantt chart for marketing campaigns running throughout the year. The difficulty is that we have approximately 100 products and each product can have anything up to 20 campaigns per year (never overlap, though, fortunately).
Campaign data is on one row per product in columns B:CC (each campaign consists of start date, end date, name and volume) but these are hidden from the user. The conditionally formatted chart runs from CD2:QD108 and is predominantly based on the start and end dates.
When any coloured cell is selected I want the relevant campaign name to be displayed, like a data validation message.

I have set up a macro that opens a set of about 20 excel files, one at a time,and then copies select sheets, and then pastes into a different main spreadsheet. After each sheet is opened and copied/pasted, I close it out and open the next one. My problem is I keep having to click through messages while the macro is running. I encounter the following messages:
1. Do you want to save (file that I opened and copied from)?
2. The formula or sheet that you want to copy contains the name "asdf.." which already exists on the destination worksheet. Do you want to use this version of the name?
3. A box comes up that says update values from this file:
4. There is a large amount of information on the clipboard. Do you want to be able to post this information into the clipboard later?
I would rather ignore all of these message boxes, but my answers to them are as follows:
1. No i do not want to save
2. Yes I want to use that version of the name
3. I want to select cancel out of this
4. No i do not want to be able to post that information.
Is there any way I can automate this?

Excel spreadsheet, that contains several columns. Three of these columns contain text data that is selected by using a simple drop-down menu sourced from a list. If an attempt is made to enter text data not in the associated list an error message is displayed. Easy so far.
I need need to extend the text data validation across all three columns so that only specific combinations of the text in the three columns can be used which is reflected in a further list. These combinations will be counted elsewhere and so needed. Therefore, if i attempt to enter a combination of text columns that is not reflected in the list, this too will present an error message stating 'combination not valid', or words to this effect.

I've converted to a dynamic validation list which allows for a selection of data to be made available based on the selection of the two previous columns.
Unfortunately since creating the new validation a circulating error occurs when tabbing through the table (B) to create a new line or entry? Additionally I've found the following to occur also;
1. The payments and PO# columns converts a red shade colour?
2. The validation on Table B description column do not work while in excel online edit mode?

Error in data validation: "A named range you specified cannot be found." However, the named ranges are in the Name Manager, and if I go to the sheet and select the range, I can see it is already named.
Full description:
I created a spreadsheet model (no VBA, just formulas, etc) in a workbook that another coworker took and added VBA to. However, he was not working with the most updated version. So last night I checked the sheets which had the same names, made sure there were no differences except the changes I had made since that version, and then moved the ones from my current workbook into his workbook.
On the sheet where the user was to input details of the report, there are 4 cells that each contain different lists (non-dependent). I want the user to only be able to choose one of the 4 drop down menus - that is, if any of the 4 cells are filled in, I would like the other 3 to default to N/A (or somehow not be allowed to be chosen). This was solved in a previous thread:
Using A1: =IF(COUNTA(A2:A4),NA(),G2:G6) from the other thread solution, I used a named range instead of G2:G6 and it worked well.
When I merged the files together, the 4 cells no longer worked at all. It was suggested that I look at the Name Manager, and some of te named ranges I had were in there multiple times. I cleaned them up.
I tried to enter the same formula again, and it gave me the specific error: "A named range you specified cannot be found." However, the named ranges are in the Name Manager, and if I go to the sheet and select the range, I can see it is already named.
I am unable to load the spreadsheet due to sensitive data, and removing the data would make the workbook make no sense.
