View 3 RepliesI 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.

I have an Excel sheet which serves as an input form. I would like to set something up where if the user inputs any value into the cell range B12:B100 then they are forced to also enter a value in column J of that same row.
Maybe something could be done where if they enter a value in B12, then they cannot enter a value in B13 before entering a value in cell J12?
I have a spreadsheet in which has many different cells that need to be completed if another cell has data.
Examples
If the user inputs a name into A3, they must complete cells B3 thru D3. Cells B3:D3 contain different entry methods including a drop down list.
On the same sheet, if the user chooses GTD from a drop down list in cell U3, cells BA:BJ must be completed. And if they choose GCI from the drop down list in U3, they must complete cells BK:BR
I want to change data through a user form and disable users from going around my form. I want users to see the underlying spreadsheet as the form manipulates data.
If I enable a form in Modal mode users can bypass the form. If I use it without modal form I can't change data from my form. I seem to be in a catch 22.
I'm designing a spreadsheet for users to enter the length of journeys that they've claimed on their expenses. In order to ensure consistency between users, I want to add two drop-down boxes or listboxes that will offer a list of common locations (eg. office A, office B, office C, customer A): one for the start point, and one for the finish point. These will be referenced by a lookup table that will automatically fill in the journey distance.
However, users will also need to be able to input other locations themselves (ie. if a journey starts at home, not at the office). If I use data validation to create the drop-down box, it will only allow the values on the list; is there something that functions like validation in offering the user a range of options, but also allows other values?
I have a spreadsheet that I add to daily with 3 Columns that are always the same. Name, ID number and Phone Number.
Is there a way to make it so that when other people in my department use this that no matter how they enter the name, it is always formatted the same. No matter they enter the ID number and phone number they are always formatted the same. I've tried some variations of data validation but couldn't get to where I need to be.
Attached is a simple example.
I'd like the name to always be formatted as Smith, Bob
I'd like the ID Number to always be formatted as xxx xx xxx
I'd like the Phone Number to always be formatted as xxx xxx xxxx
Below is the existing code that I'm working with and would like to be able to make the ' name' column either Upper or Proper case on entry. I haven't decided which I'm going to use yet.
Set r = Sheet1.Range("A2:C65536")
If Not Intersect(Target, r) Is Nothing Then
sTgt = Trim(Target.Value)
If sTgt = "" Then Exit Sub
Select Case Target.Column
Case NmCol
If InStr(sTgt, ",") = 0 Then
iSpc = InStrRev(sTgt, " ")
Target.Value = Mid(sTgt, iSpc + 1) & ", " & Left(sTgt, iSpc - 1)
End If
A form loads and the first thing the user is to do is enter a specific date in a text box (preferably in, "mm/dd/yyyy" format.)
Is there any way to set up the text box so that when the form loads, the, "/"'s (slashes) are already in place? And can I set it up so that if the user enters in the date in any other manner aside from, "mm/dd/yyyy", that it will give them an error?
Finally, I want the user's date input to store on a worksheet (in row, "G".) So the first time the user uses the form, they type in a date and it stores the date in the FIRST AVAILABLE CELL IN ROW, "G." (example: "G1") The next time they use the form and type in a date, it is to store in, "G2", then in, "G3", ect. Each time they fill out the form, the new entry is to save in the next row beneath the previous entry.....
For other text boxes and combo boxes I have been using the following code to do this:
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & intRow) = Text.Value (or Combobox.Value - depending on whether it was a text box or a combo box.)
Unfortunately I have NO idea how to apply this logic in regards to text boxes that are to store dates.
I found the following code which works fine until I start to select multiple cells in cell B for deletion etc. At this point it throws up a run-time error 13 type mismatch, which will cause problems when other people start to use the spreadsheet.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column <> 2 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Offset(0, -1) = "" Then
Target.Select
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target = ""
Application.EnableEvents = True
MsgBox ("You must enter Atlas Part No. first")
End If
End Sub
I need to force our salespeople to enter information in a cell based on a condition. This is the condition: If I5=3, then I need to move the user to cell I3 with a message that says "Enter miles to site" -- I don't want them to be able to move from the cell until they enter the information. If I5 does not equal 3, then I don't need anything to occur. I need to apply this code to four separate worksheets in the same workbook. Also, they will be entering a number in cell I3, so is okay to leave I3 formatted for Number or General Number?

I need to force the users to choose one of the items and not allow a blank entry to be entered.
I used the code below for the entries however it still allows for a blank to be entered into the Cell.
This part of the code works for Me.sapor = "" Or Me.jobna = "" Or Me.ordernu = "" But not for the next (2) list boxes it allows blanks Or Me.snd = "" Or Me.mcode = ""
Me.Snd and Me.mcode are list boxes.
Code:
If Me.sapor = "" Or Me.jobna = "" Or Me.ordernu = "" Or Me.snd = "" Or Me.mcode = "" MsgBox ("Feilds SAP Number, Job Name, Price, Code and Month Code Must be Completed")
Exit Sub

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.
is there a way to force so that a cell value can be only of what a validation droplist offers, hence users can not enter their own values and have to use the droplist for cell content selection.

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.

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?
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") ...............
I've been searching but I can't find an answer that fits. Here's the closest I've come. Force Date Entry on Particular Condition. What I need is if A10 has any data in it then I want a box to pop up that instructs the user to input data into B10 they click OK and then enter the data. Once the user inputs data into B10 then the error should be cleared. If they don't enter data then the error should keep coming back.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
How can i Loop through a combobox's values and compare to a string value and then set the listindex of the combobox to that value?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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

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 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?
i'm writing a refrigeration selection user interface, working from values on an excel spreadsheet. how to get the programme to automatically select a value from a list or range once a user has selected corresponding value from a list within a combobox. for example if a user sets the temperature of their refrigerator to -5 celsius i need the programme to automatically select the corresponding value of enthalpy for the air at that temperature.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a userform where I have 2 comboboxes. The first combobox shows the the first column (only 1 of each) and the second comboBox shows me the secondary list that correlates to the valuse in the first from column B. Now I have a text box that I am trying to get the value from column C depending on what I have in the first 2 comboboxes. What is the easiest way to do it? This is all in VB since it is a UserForm, and using Vlookup seems to be too many lines if I go that route. Is there a way to use Index and Match in VB where it would be more efficient? I attached just a sample of how the data would be layed out in the Excel sheet.
View 4 Replies View RelatedNeed Help in resolving the following issue:
Update a list using a Combo Box works fine when the list is on the same worksheet but when the list is on a different Worksheet it does not work.
Is this achievable? I guess so! but was wondering how to do it.
e.g: if my range defined name called let us say "SP" with a range AD1:AD60 in Sheet1 when I use a combo box the Listfillrange will contain: SP
When inserting a new entry using the combobox it works fine but when the same defined name range points to a different Worksheet example: Sheet2 then the update does not work although the ListFillRange contains the same Range name: SP.
how I can list 3 different values to a list of list of 3 in a combo box, is.
combo box
select high = 35
select middle 30
select low = 25
I have the names in the box I just need it to add a value (which I have listed 1 in each separate cells) to each selection
I'm trying to create a spreadsheet that will add a value to one column from one specific cell. For example: I want to enter a name in cell G10 and add that entry value enters in A1, then erase that name and enter a name in G10 again and that entry value enters in A2, and so on and so forth.
