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?

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

Force Data Entry In Cell In Order

Dec 30, 2007

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

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 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?

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.

Force Upper Or Proper Case On Entry

Feb 16, 2007

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)

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.

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

Single Cell Entry To Multi Cell Entry

Jul 7, 2009

i have an address that is all in one cell displayed like

101 hampton Court, Hampton heath, Hampton Town, Hamptonshire, HA01 1AS

but i need to have it split in to individual cells so

Cell A1 would be 101 hampton court
B2 Hampton Heath
C2 Hampton Town
D3 Hamptonshire
E5 HA01 1AS

each part of the address is split by a comma, so i have tried to use that as a identifier as to where that part of the address is, but failed on that, i can separate out the first part and the post code with a find and replace but not the middle.

also i need it to work backwards ie

it finds the post code first,

then the county

then the town

as those 3 are always the last 3 parts, but the address could only have 1 line of addres beofre the town or 3, and it would get messed up as all the post codes, county ans town needs to be in their respective columns

Force Macro To Run When Cell Changes Via Formula

Mar 22, 2012

I have this running and Section A is working but Section B is not. I basically want it so that if conditions a, b, and c occur, excel pops up with that messagebox.

Condition A: Cells(8, 3) changes via formula referencing an outside cell
Condition B: The new value of Cells(8,3) is a numeric value.
Condition C: The change in it's value is not more than a given threshold
change as defined in Cells(8, 13)

why the second section is not popping up with a msgbox when the value of Cells(8, 3) changes.

Public bbb as long
Sub Other()
bbb = Cells(8, 3)
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim bb As Integer
Dim cc As Integer

Force Cell Tab Order Between Named Ranges

Jun 13, 2009

I have forced the tab order of sheet. Unlike the example with the link, I have used named ranges instead of cell references in the array to order the tab sequence. (the named range are single cells and merged cells)

Force Tab Order Of Cells

Just like the author of the link, the sequencing works great but if I choose click on another cell (that is in the pre-determined sequence) it then takes me to the next pre-determined cell int he sequence.

I have tried the code the "shg" has suggested for merged cells to no avail. Maybe it has something to do with the name ranges.

Dim aTabOrd As Variant
Dim iTab As Long
Dim nTab As Long

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim iNew As Long

If IsEmpty(aTabOrd) Then

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.

Force New Active Cell When Maximum Number Of Characters Is Reached

Jan 16, 2008

We have a form that requires descriptive comments to be entered into several rows of merged cells. My goal is to have the form be able to automatically dropped down to the next row of merged cells when the current row of merged cells reaches a maximum number of characters.

And finally, the last row of merged cells would not allow any more characters than the maximum assigned but not advance to another cell automatically.

The rows I am working with specifically are:
Merged Cells F23:R23; A24:R24; A25:R25; A26:R26;...A29:R29

Check If Any Entry In List Older Than 7 Days - Delete Second Double Entry?

Sep 11, 2013

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.

Tranferring Variable Entry From Form Entry To Macro

Currently I have the private sub from the form transfer those entries to a remote cell on the spreadsheet, (like in column "HZ"), so that the macro that will actually utilize them can retrieve them. Is there a way to pass that data directly from what is entered in the form in the textboxes to the macro that will actually use them?

I am trying to do with data validation, trying to stay away from vba on this... and it is probably very simple:

Cell A1, they can select Rice, Cheese, or Rabbit
I want to use custom data validation on B1, so that if A1 = Rabbit, they can only enter 1. If it is blank or the other two choices, they can enter 1 through 10.

Can I do that with data validation? I can't get any if thens to work in it.
