I wanted to make a pop up alert message appear whenever the formula in a cell gives a particular output.
Before posting this i tried looking for similar posts before, but the ones found do not solve my problem. There it asks me to write the following code in VBA,
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim MyRange As String
MyRange = "A1"
If Me.Range(MyRange).Value = "Have Meeting" Then
MsgBox "Have Meeting"
End If
End Sub
But my doing so, I can not use any formula in the cell A1 or any other cell i give reference as MyRange. I will always have to physically type "Have Meeting" or any other word assigned in the above.
I have to prepare invoices daily basis..i have to write name in attached sheet i.e cell D7 and Operator name in G13..some time my boss catch my mistake that this operator is for any other company and some time he catchs that this company is for any other operator..
I have a list as there..kindly advise me if my operator is not equal to my company or my company is not equal to my operator as per my list in sheet 1 than a alert massenge should come there so that i would not continue typing till i correct it..
Is there any validation formula or any other advise..
I have an excel sheet with the price of 3 different goods in cells B7, C7 and D8 and I need to display a message reading "Buy Good" underneath the cheapest price. I will be changing around the prices of the goods at a later stage and would like the message to update every time a price change is made.
I have a table with data in 2 different columns. In the first column there are names of companies given to me by an outside source and they are labeled according to the way this outside company labels them.
In the second coulumn, There are names of the same companies, only this time they are labeled according to the way my company labels them.
I would like to use a formula or any excel function to find when the company name in the first column is at all different from any name in the second. If the name is different, I would like to receive an alert message, or just fill the cell red if it is easier.
I open a spreadsheet or workbook that has links to other workbooks I am notified by the message bar that content has been blocked. I click Options > Enable this content > OK. Even if I don't make any changes I'm prompted to save changes when I close the file. If I hit Yes or if I hit No, I will still be prompted to enable content in the message bar the next time I open the same file.
I have changed the External Content settings in the Trust Center to "Enable all data connections (not recommended)" and "Enable automatic update for all workbook links (not recommended)" but I still get the messages.
My Message Bar is set to "Show the message bar in all applications when content is blocked" because I read on Microsoft KB that the other option of "never show information about blocked content" will still block the content, just not tell you about it, which doesn't fix my issue.
The files I'm opening and the files linked to and from them are all on the same shared drive on a file server in the office. Is there a way to tell Office '07 that our file drive is a trusted source by default?
I just discovered VBA coding today and was wondering if I could use it as an audio alert. I found a couple examples online but don’t understand the coding language of excel. I have a feed link from my trading platform to excel that feeds in live data. What I would like to do is have an alert for when Range ("C4").select is >=1000 Alert Ring.wav and when Range ("C4").select is <=-1000 Alert Chimes.wav.
I'm using Data Validation for various fields in a form and I'm trying to make it user friendly by adding Error Alert conditions and text explaining why the error has occurred. I also want the form to be translatable into other languages.
For some VBA message boxes that get displayed I can put the English text in some hidden cells and that can be translated easily by someone without access to the code. But I cannot figure out how to make the Data Validation Error Alert messages point to a cell so that they are also translatable without forcing the translator to open each Data Validation dialog.
I'm creating several dozen charts all using Logarithmic Scale and while I know you aren't supposed to provide Zero values in the source data this is one project where that can't be helped. My problem is that the Excel Alert keeps popping up to tell me I shouldn't use zeros and it keeps crashing my sheet because it pops up every 10 seconds or so.
My question is: Is there any way to turn off an Excel Error Alert? OR Is there any value I can place in those cells (other than Zero or One) that would stop that troublesome alert from popping up? Just for reference, this is the alert: MICROSOFT EXCEL
Negative or zero values cannot be plotted correctly on log charts. Only positive values can be interpreted on a logarithmic scale. To correct the problem, do one of the following: * Enter only positive values (greater than zero) int he cells used to create the chart. * In the chart, click the axis you want to change. On the Format menu, click Selected Axis. Click the Scale tab, and then clear the Logarithmic Scale check box.
Each month I get a report that I process using a macro. The problem is that each month the name of the file changes and is different. When I run the macro and it crashes I have to de-bug by going through the code to change all references to the file name from the the previos run and change to the latest file name and then re-run the macro. There must be a better way.
I would like to learn the code that sees the open book and then refers to it for the run.
I am looking for a more efficient way to write a macro (a sample from the macro is below). This is just the first part of the macro. I need to repeat these same steps (seen for row 5 below) for rows 5 to 50. My script worked until I hit row 35 and then I got the "compile error.." message. There must be a way to use "loop" to write this more efficiently, no?
For some reason my form won't open when the workbook is opened. I get an error message "run time error '424' object required" (which happens when I have Form1.show in the BOTH workbook_open event and the userform_initialize event (oops)). When I removed form1.show from the userform_initialize I don't get an error but I also get no form. I recall having this issue before but I can't recall how to fix it.
Can I call the userform_initialize event from the workbook open event to get around this successfully and properly?
I do hit the SCE (Shift-CTRL-Enter) keys. The formula does work in one workbook, but not the other. The only difference between the two workbooks is this formula has a larger range.
New Formula- doesn't work (ERROR- #DIV/0!) {=AVERAGE(IF(Sheet1!A3:A1094="MONDAY",Sheet1!E3:E1094))}
Old Formula- works {=AVERAGE(IF(B6:B451="MONDAY",E6:E451))}
I get spreadsheets sent to me with hours and minutes in decimal format. Frequently a quarter of an hour or three quarters of an hour are posted as 0.15 or 0.45 instead of 0.25 and 0.75. Other odd fractions can also appear.
I want an error message if the value when divisible by 0.25 is not a whole number.
I am writing some code to do a comparison between two cells X2 or AB2 with an X which checks to: 1. make sure one of the two are filled, or 2. both are not filled. Below is an extract of the spreadsheet I am working on. I need to check to make sure one of the boxes is checked. If both are empty or both filled with an ("X"), I want a message box to tell me to correct the error and stop the macro from continuing. If only one is marked with an ("X"), I want the macro to continue but don't know how.
I am receiving an #Value! error message from my sumproduct formula: =SUMPRODUCT((Data!$A$2:$A$47=G$2)*(Data!$B$2:$B$47=G$4)*(Data!$A$1:$N$1=$B21)*(Data!$A$2:$N$47))
As follows: Data!$A$2:$A$47 is a date G$2 is a date within the context
Data!$B$2:$B$47 is a unit number G$4 is a unit number within the context
Data!$A$1:$N$1 are descriptive titles $B21 is a decriptive string within the same context (copy paste)
Data!$A$2:$N$47 are to be summed is all criteria are met.
I have a vba code that I wrote out to search for a file and update data on a spreadsheet with the new file... however I've come to a point where I'm not sure of what code to use. If I search for a file that is not there I get a runtime error and of course it ask me to end or debug. What I would like for it to do instead is search for the file and if it is not there... display a message box stating that the file searched for is not found and automatically closes the workbook after OK is pressed.
I've got the below code which I use to log users who opens my spreadsheet. It's a Event so runs when the spreadsheet is open with macro enabled. The spreadsheet is on a shared drive which has the prefix "K". Most users it works find but one user gets a error Message "Path or Drive" error. I got around it by adding "on error" but how do you overcome issues with drive prefixs and the drive address e.g "K" vs "\CRD2000"
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "usage.log" For Append As #1 Print #1, Application.UserName, Now Close #1 End Sub
I have developed a program in which the user will only see the userforms (and to an certain extent not even be aware of excel doing most of the work).
i am looking for code that will intercept an error message should something go wrong in my vb code. Currently when an error occurs, it pops back to VB and gives the error message. I want it to rather give a popoup message asking the user to contact me.
i'm coping a file over itself and i get an information message "File cannot be copied onto itself" - An attempt to copy a file could not be completed because the file already exists or same source and destination.
i would like to surpress this, i have tried the following, but to no avail:
I have created a report with 22 sheets as different pages to be included or hidden depending upon the type of report needed. I had found several sources saying to use the Custom Views function. So for example I will unhide all the sheets and add as a Custom View "All Sheets" and then whittle it down to the 5 I might need for B type inspections and add that view as B Inspection. But when I try and toggle between them I'm getting an error message that says "Some view settings could not be applied" - and thew saved view I was looking for is not the same sheetwise.
I'm trying to create a situation where the user would get an error message when they tried to enter numbers in two specific columns in the same row. That is, in row C they can only enter a number ( 1 or 2) into C5, C6 or C7. If they enter a number into two of these cells, I want an error to appear. They would have to stop and correct the error.
I've tried two scenarios with no luck:
1. I've data validation where I did SUM(C5:C7) and hid the answer in C8. I then tried to get a data validation to display an error code when C8 exceed 2. This didn't work.
I may be misunderstanding the point of error.type() command. I'm wanting an error message to appear once a cell goes below 0. So far, I've only managed to have the error message appear all the time, or never.
I need to write a formula but excel shows an error message "Formula Too Long." There are two long strings of the formula that I repeat several times. Is there any way to put these strings in other cells and reference them within the formula? Each of the strings looks very similar to this:
