I am writing code in Excel VBA and trying to control power-point. at the end there is message-box pop up. Everything runs fine.
But at the end I have go bottom windows bar and click on the excel file then message box comes up, otherwise excel tag keeps blinking at the bottom. I want to add something to code so message box in excel file is pop-up automatically without me clicking on excel file.
I have a worksheet with 3 cells in it. One cell is "Total", the second cell is "Adjustment" and the third cell is "Variance".
How can I create a popup message that states "Adjustment is Below the Total" and show the variance in the Variance cell in the event that the Adjustment value is below the Total value ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to have a warning message pop up if the value of column AF is 3 or less.
Column AF is counting entries in columns E:I by using the formula
=COUNTBLANK(E1:I1)
to create the value
A value of 5 is OK (no data in E to I), and 4 is also fine (just one entry in E to I) A value of 3 or less, indicating more than one column in E to I having data, needs to display the message. Presently I have a conditional format on another column to display red background when AF is 3 or less, but it's a little ambiguous, so a message would be neater!
Codes are entered manually only in Column A starting at A1..A10000+ ranges.
As Unique codes are entered ie. 1234 or 2345 or 3456 in the next empty cell down,
I need a specific popup message for each of the three codes instructing the user what to do next.
I want to create a pop up message showing count of cells turned red,each time the workbooked are opened.like column "I" has two dates in red colour,so the pop up will say "you have 2 contracts expired"

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am building a macro that deals with a lot of data and takes several minutes to run. I want to display a message to the user stating "Calculating..." while the calculating is taking place. I got the idea to use a userForm with a label on it. The problem is that excel waits for input from the userform before continuing the calculations.
How do I display the userform, continue doing the calculations, and then hide the userform when the calculations are complete? (without any input from the user)
I currently have:
we are having a excel sheet which has data in it.
ex:
In sheet3:
D |F
Columns: Logic |Field
Rows: market |business
proposed |consumer
In sheet2:
A |B
List of sheet | Field
sheet3 |business
sheet4 |other
In Sheet1:
A |B
List of sheet |Field
sheet3 |consumer
When a user points to the particular cell(f2,f3) in column F of sheet3, it should display a message weather the data in particular cell is in which sheet( Sheet1 or sheet2 or not specified) and hyperlink must be displayed. when we click on the hyperlink it should go to the data particular row of the sheet.(Sheet1 or sheet2)..
I have the below code to iterate and copy/paste data.
Code:
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim r As Range
Set r = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("POList").Range("A2:A150")
[Code]...
This works fine, but I always get a message saying:
"Data on the Clipboard is not the same size and shape as the selected area. Do you want to paste the data anyway?"
The method completes when I click OK, but I am having to do this hundreds of time as there are a lot of files to be created. Is there a way to stop this message?
Im trying to come up with a popup message That informs the user that the quanity they entered is not divisible by 12. Here is what I got so far:
The Range("D" & Target.Row) = "6' PANELS WITH STANDS"( this is the item chosen by the user via a drop down)
Then they enter the quanity in Range("A" & Target.Row)
So if the item chosen in Column "D" is "6' PANELS WITH STANDS" and they enter the quanity in Column "A" and it is not divisible by 12 you would then get the message letting you know that.
I have 4 textboxes that will display the percentages, and i want to create a pop-up message if the 5 textboxes value doesnt add up to 100%.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using the code below to form part of staff resource spreadsheet, but I'm having a little difficulty with a piece of the script.
Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rInt As Range, res As Variant
Dim cell As Range
Sheets("Input").Protect "password", UserInterFaceOnly:=True, AllowFiltering:=True
[Code] ....
The piece of the script which I'm having difficulty with is this:
Code:
For Each cell In Range("B7:B400")
If cell.Value = "No" Then
MsgBox "If " & cell.Offset(0, 1).Value & " has left R&D, please remember to delete any future resource forecasts"
End If
Next
When the cell value has changed to 'No' the pop up message appears, but for some strange reason the message is shown 5 times, despite their being only one record.The other problem I have is if I add another record and change the value to 'No' in column B, the message is shown twice, once for the previous record and the second for the new.
Double Click to Activate Message Box
modify my code to do the following:
I have a worksheet with checkboxes in each cell in A11:A110 as well as O11:O110. When a checked, the current time appears in the corresponding cell, using this code for example, A11 :
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
*
*** Range("A11").Select
*** ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=NOW()"
*** Range("A11").Select
*** Selection.Copy
*** Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
******* False, Transpose:=False
*** Range("A11").Select
*** Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
This system is used to track time elapsed. Example, the first event of the day begins, so I click the checkbox in A11 and the time appears in A11. When the event ends, I click the checkbox in O11 and the time appears in O11.
Now what I would like to modify is the following:
After clicking A11, if 30 minutes have elapsed and I still have not checked the end time in O11, I would like the whole row to highlight in red, a pop up message box should advise me that 30 minutes have elapsed. I could click OK and remove the message box. The whole row remains in red highlight until I finally check the checkbox in O11.
Obviously I'd copy the code for each row.
I assume the code goes with the checkbox's code for A11? Also, is it possible for a cell to flash? (highlighted white, then red, then white, red, etc...)
I want to change the format, design & background color of the POPUP Message.
How to Change format of warning / message / popup window which appear after giving the data validation or Macro criteria.
Is it possible to have an automatic pop up (warning) message if the (contract) date (in cell U3) expires in three months. In the message should also be mentioned the contents of cell A3 + the contents of cell K3 + the contents of cell U3. I don't want to use conditional format but need to show a warning.
I have an excel file with many worksheets. I want to get a pop up message providing definitions of different subjects when they are entered from a drop down list in a specific range within a column to improve the users understanding of the subjects.

Subjects from drop down list in specified range: "x,y,z"
Pop up message: "Definitions of x,y,z"
Do I have to make a new module, or write the macro in the selected worksheet? What should be the settings of the macro (general, worksheet, declarations etc.)

I have two or more DIFFERENT INSTANCES of excel workbooks open at the same time. EX: Wk1, Wk2, & Wk3
Currently I have Wk3 showing in the screen.
Through a Macro, how can I display (bring to front) Wk1 without closing Wk3 ?
This is part of a longer macro, so I only need to know how to do above.
I have an open workbook(A.xls) where the user can press a button which opens another workbook (B.xls) In workbook B they need to add new names then press another button to run another script. The script needs to switch to workbook A in order to work correctly. How can I switch to workbook A without using the name of the workbook? The reason I cant use the name to activate is because the first workbook that is open is not always A.xls

I am having a "cosmetic" issue that I was curious if I can fix it.. I have a workbook that opens a network workbook, saves some data to it, and then closes the network workbook.
Everything is working fine, except I cant get the code to "reactivate" the initial workbook. After excel saves and closes the 2nd workbook I opened, my screen stays on my desktop, instead of refocusing on the initial workbook. I have to manually click on the initial workbook in my taskbar to bring it back into focus...
I thought the below code would bring the inital workbook back into "focus" on the users screen, but it's not working.
Windows("NEWRightFit.xls").Activate
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Windows("sxssubmit.xls").Activate
Confirmation.Show
End Sub
I just moved the Application.ScreenUpdating line as initially I had it at the very bottom, but that did not correct. The confirmation.show is just a dialog box that informs the user the changes were saved successfully. I would like the first workbook "sxssubmit.xls" to come back into focus automatically though, without the user having to manually select it from the taskbar.
What is my code missing?
I have 2 workbooks open
Book1 has a call to ChangeBook()
Book2 is empty
Function ChangeBook()
Application.Workbooks("Book2.xls").Activate
End Function
ChangeBook() is located in a .xla file loaded on Excel launch.
Calling the function from Book1 does not cause Book2 to activate.
Running the function via the F5 key in the IDE works fine.
I am modifying existing routines that have problems and being able to activate certain books at will would make the changes much easier.
is there a way to put a time delay on a pop up box - like show a pop up box for like 2 seconds when the file is opened?
View 9 Replies View Related-I've been trying to get an answer to this problem for some time and I would like to try again from a different approach.
I may have 5 workbooks open in 5 different Instances of Excel. The number of files open varies. When the below Function is called, it checks to see if the file, trying to be opened, is already open or not.
Currently, if the file is already open, a mesage is displayed stating that it is open and the user has to search through tabs looking for the file so that it can be displayed.
What I want to do in place of a message, is activate the file that is already open and display it. No message necessary.
I have tried "Application.Activate" and can not make it work.
I have .xls files (ex: a.xls, b.xls etc) in a shared drive.How do I get information (run macros without changing anything) from a.xls and create a new file in my hard drive without opening a.xls. I don’t know if that is possible to do. May be sounds very weird. For example, I name this file on my hard drive as a01.xls, b01.xls from b.xls. Now I run other macros from a01.xls. which is active. I want this macros to run independent of the file name the user creates. In otherwords the workbook has to be variable. Not sure how to use ‘Thisworkbook’ function if that is what is needed to do.
