Excel 2007 :: Ensure Cell Postcode Have 8 Characters (including Spaces)
Oct 8, 2012Excel 2007.I have a list of postcodes (UK) which have different lengths of characters (including spaces) from 6-8, however our system seems to add additional spaces inbetween the postcode, so it could have upto 11/12 characters (inc spaces) Below is what could come out:
EH21 6PQ - 1 Space (8 Char)
EH12 9HG - 3 Spaces (10 Char)
E1 8DF - 3 Spaces (8 Char)
LL5 1GH - 2 Spaces (8 Char)
L5 1FG - 1 Space (6 Char)
What I need is a formula to ensure each postcode only has 8 characters by inserting spaces between if there's less than 8 char and trimming if there's more than 8 char
So from the above postcodes the desired results would be:
EH21 6PQ - 1 Space (8 Char) - This would be correct
EH12 9HG - 3 Spaces (10 Char) - Trim off 2 spaces from the middle
E1 8DF - 3 Spaces (8 Char) - This would be correct
LL5 1GH - 2 Spaces (8 Char) - This would be correct
L5 1FG - 1 Space (6 Char) - Insert 2 spaces in the middle

Data Validation To Ensure Like Numbers In Cell A Has Same Date In Cell B
Jan 10, 2008I 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 15 column B must be 16-Dec-07

How To Ensure Cell Entry In A Range Is Always Unique
Jun 18, 2013I have a range B1:B20. These cells are populated by the user and I want to ensure that no two entries are the same. Is there a way of presenting a dialog box that prompts the user to enter a different value if the value they are trying to enter is already entered somewhere in the range?
View 5 Replies View RelatedTake X Characters From One Cell And Y Characters From The Next?
Aug 1, 2014So we have people's names in a table. First name in one column and last name in another column. We have a 3rd column where we can use 8 characters to do a combination of First 5 of Last Name + first 3 of first name. However, if someone's last name is only 3 or 4 characters, we'd then want to take more from the first name to fill out the 8 characters.
So:
Charles Johnson -> Johnscha
John Smith -> Smithjoh
Willian Wu -> Wuwillia
What's the best way to do that without creating some crazy formula with tons of if/thens?
Ensure A Negative Or Positive Value
Feb 2, 2010My form has a combobox with three options "Withdrawal" "Deposit" "Fee". I want to make sure that whatever number a user puts into a textbox, if they select "Withdrawal" or "Fee" that number will be converted to a negative number, and if they select "Deposit" it will be positive. I have written the following code and am just wondering if there is some super slick way of doing it other than an if statement.

View 9 Replies View RelatedEnsure TextBox Entries Add To 100%
Dec 10, 2007I have five text boxes on a user form. I would like the 5th box to always equal 100 - the Sum of the other boxes, and never go below 0.
In other words, the text boxes are representing percentage breakdowns - so to validate the percentage entry in each box i want the last box to 'count down' from 100 as the percentages are distributed amoungst the other boxes. This box will also be a percentage figure, so is crucial it has its own box (rather than just saying these four boxes have to total 100) i hope this makes sense!
I have tried a code along these lines (see below) - (adapted from this forum but couldnt get it to work) I also found a version where one poster used a command to change the 'value' from string to numbers - but have been unable to find that again.
Private Sub txtbox1.change()
txtbox5 = 100 - (CCur(txtbox1) + CCur(txtbox2) + CCur(txtbox3) + CCur(txtbox4))
End Sub
Ensure Automatic Calculation
Apr 30, 2008I have largish workbooks (10MB) with a variety of formulas and lookups to generate tables and charts. Calculation is ALWAYS set to Automatic, but sometimes (not always) the formulas fail to update when values are changed. Sometimes F9 will force calculation, sometimes Ctrl + Alt + F9, sometimes (especially with charts) I have to close the workbook and reopen before they will update. The workbooks contain macros but none are running when this happens. A search of your forum indicated that this question has arisen several times before, but I haven't seen a definitive answer.

View 9 Replies View RelatedEnsure Only 1 OptionButton Or CheckBox Selected
Aug 22, 2008I have a workbook containing several sheets, each sheet has a large number of ActiveX check box controls on it.
The controls are presented in groups of three to capture responses to a question (Y/N/NA). If one of the three check boxes is set to True, the other two associated check boxes must be set to False.
What I want to do is avoid having to have an On_Click event sub for every single check box.
I have written a function that will handle updating the related check boxes but I am unsure how to call this function, passing it the name of the clicked Check Box whenever any check box is clicked.
Here is my current code with an On_Click event being used to call the function:
Private Sub chk100_01Y_Click()
' Want to replace this with a dynamic sub that will be invoked
' when any Check Box is clicked and pass the name of that Check
' box to the function
Call Update(ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("chk100_01Y"))
End Sub

To Ensure All Radio Button Groups Are Used Before Moving On.
Jan 7, 2010I have created a survey in excel 2003. It has 70 questions on it and the user responds to the questions by clicking on a radio button. There are 4 radio buttons within a group box for each question and the user will select one of them.
At the end of 'sheet 1' with all these questions on, i have a button which the user presses to proceed to 'sheet 2'. When they press the button i want to ensure is that all questions have been answered ie: 1 of the radio buttons is selected for every question.
If one of the questions isnt answered then a pop up box will appear to tell the user they have unanswered questions and then the vba code will exit and the user stays on the question sheet (sheet 1). If all the questions are answered then the user will move to 'sheet 2'. (the reference cells for all the groups of radio buttons are within column G on sheet 1).
Ensure Code Understands Object It Should Relate To

Ensure Code Acts Upon Correct Sheet
Sep 19, 2007I have a workbook that starts off with the following sheets:
MAIN_PAGE - Where filter criteria is selected via checkbox and PLOT button
RAW_DATA - unfiltered raw data
After running a series of macros tied to the PLOT button, two new sheets are created:
FILTERED_DATA(HIDDEN) - where the filter criteria from the MAIN_PAGE is applied, and the filtered data is stored.
CHART - The plot of the hidden FILTER_DATA sheet.
Every time the PLOT button is pressed, the the macro searches for the FILTERED_DATA and CHART sheets, and if present, clears and overwrittes with the new appropriately filted data. This works and suits the user's needs 95% of the time. However....
QUESTION
If the user decides to keep the old CHART and FILTER_DATA as well as the new FILTER_DATA and CHART, I need something to differentiate the two charts and data sheets. My thought was to have the user rename the CHART. The problem is that because the FILTERED_DATA sheet is hidden (and has to stay that way), how can the name change of the CHART be carried over onto the hidden FILTERED_DATA sheet, therefore keeping the plot and it's data in tact? For example, if I append the name CHART with a 1 to make it CHART1, how do I automatically change FILTERED_DATA to FILTERED_DATA1?

Code Required To Ensure Minimum Of 6 Rows Between Ranges
Oct 26, 2008I use excel 2007 and have a s/s running to 350,000+ rows.
Data is in ranges of 2 to 30 rows with blank row between each range.
Column F numbers the rows in a range (if row 120,000 begins new range then F1200,000 = 1, F120001 = 2, etc).
If there are 2 rows of data in a range then, including blank row, there are 3 rows between this and next range.
What I want to achieve is a minimum of 6 rows between each range.
Does anyone know code that can can achieve this end?
Set Range Of Cells To Ensure They Are Completed Before File Saved

This Works fine:

Cancel = True
