Force Date Format Entry In Text Box

Sep 5, 2007

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.

Validation To Force Cell Format On Entry

Feb 9, 2007

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

How To Force TEXT To Return Date In English

Feb 6, 2014

I have a formula as follows:

Code:
=TEXT(A1,"Mmm YY")

Where cell A1 contains a date, say 01/01/2014.

For me this returns "Jan 14." However, I have a colleague using a Spanish version of Windows/Excel and therefore it displays this in Spanish as "ene 14."

How can I force the formula to return the English spelling, Jan 14?

Force SaveAs As Cell Text & Date

Jun 7, 2007

I have a customised excel woorkbook that will be distributed to several locations with different computere systems, etc. I wanted to keep some convention with the naming, so I've put in a saveas routine to open the saveas dialog and change the default name. The user can then select the directory location and save the file.

Here's the
Sub Saveas_routine()
'
Dim strName As String

On Error Goto InvalidName
strName = "E-RAMP " & Sheet1.Range("A1") & Format(Now, " dd-mmm-yyyy") & ".xls"
Application.GetSaveAsFilename (strName)
Exit Sub

InvalidName: MsgBox "The text: " & strName & " is not a valid file name.", vbCritical, "E-RAMP"
End Sub

The problem is, when the save button is pressed in the saveas dialog, the dialog disappears and the the workbook doesn't save.

Code To Format Date Entry

Jun 9, 2006

I have a macro which is designed to collect information and then assign each piece of information to a defined cell. I have Dim statements for each piece of information i.e.

Dim Info1 = Surname
Dim Info2 = Initials And so on.
Dim Info11 = Date of entry

This is working perfectly but the date when entered is reversing to american format. 08/05/2006 becomes 05/08/2006. Type into the cell manually and it works perfectly let the macro put the date in and it changes format. Can anyone supply a line of code that would format the date to dd/mm/yyyy? Then I could insert it after the part of my code which basically says go to this cell and put in the date.

Force Entry In Cell

May 30, 2008

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?

Force Entry In Multiple Cells

Jan 16, 2009

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

Force User Form Entry Only

Dec 30, 2007

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.

Drop-down To Suggest Entry Not Force

Mar 20, 2008

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?

Force Cell Entry Based On A Condition

Jul 31, 2008

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? Note: This question is also posted at the following link, but has not yet been answered by that group: http://database.ittoolbox.com/groups...dition-2270643.

Force Users To Choose One Of Items And Not Allow Blank Entry To Be Entered

Dec 14, 2011

I have a list box in a user form using R2:R3 as Row source.

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

Code:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim rNextCl As Range
' Row count = where the select cell finishes and window box moves to rows over
' offset = howmany cells up or down from the row count

[Code]....

Custom Formatting A Date In A Text Entry

Mar 24, 2009

I have a date in H34, 21/03/2009.

In I34 I have the same date again, except formatted as MMMM YYYY so its showing "March 2009".

In G10, I want the cell to read: Number at end of March 2009, with the month and year being taken from the date range. To be honest, I can get the year okay using the Year() function but cant get the month as cant convert it back from a numeric.

Convert A Date Format To A Text Format

Oct 6, 2008

Example......

In D2 I have: =B2
In D3 I have manually input: (space)3-08

As you can see the CONCATENATE puts the "39569" date in A2 But the second line puts the text date as I prefer. What I would like to do is put in a formula or macro in D2 and down that will change the "Mar-08" to "3-08" so it CONCATENATEs correctly to column A. Simply: I'm trying to avoid manually inputing the text version "3-08" (or whatever M-Y) into D2 down a hundred or so rows!

Copy Date Into Text Box Retaining Date Format

Dec 12, 2007

I've created a group of user forms used for recording jobs and displaying details of jobs and have come up against a problem I think you may be able to help me with.

When the user creates a new record, I've written some code to stamp txtdate text box with the current system date and this information is then copied onto a sheet called Data into a specific column.

This part works fine and as the column is formatted to handle dates it displays fine.

However, when I pull the data back in, it displays the date as the serial number date, not formatted as dd/mm/yy. I've tried every fix I can find to sort this but none of them seem to work.

The code I use to pull the data in is as follows:

ComboBox1.BoundColumn = 11
txtdate.Value = ComboBox1.Value

The idea is that the user selects a job number from combobox1 and then the appropriate column is pulled into each txt box on the form.

At the same time, I'm trying to do the same for the system time as well. Unsurprisingly I have a very similar problem here and use the same code as above. I've tried formatting both date and time txt boxes in the userform, the data transfer code etc etc with no success.

I have dates formatted as dd/mm/yyyy and I need just the year, but with either text or standard format. (so no easy yyyy solution which would work)

I just seem to be too stupid, can't copy and paste as value, as that doesn't change a bit. If I format it as text it turns up sth like 34875 ofc.

Format Date With Other Text In Same Forumula

Feb 12, 2010

I am trying to display both text and a date in the same line. Currently I have something like ="The Date Is " & A1. where A1 is a cell with a date formatted in a preferred format. However, once I call reference to the cell, excel re-formats it into the serial date, so it displays something like. The Date Is 40220

instead of something like: The Date is 2/11/2010. Does anyone know how to format the number back into a date form? Just going through the format menus and setting it to date does not change it.
