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 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 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?

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 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)
End If

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 Data Entry In Cell In Order

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

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

Comparing Multiple Cells Against A User Defined Entry

Dec 3, 2008

I need of a formula that will look through a list of text strings, spread out through two columns) and compare each one to a user defined entry. When it finds a match against this entry I would then need it to compare another set of text strings on the same row as the entry that it previously matched against.

If it was to find a match on only the original text string it would need to return a true result and if it matched on the original text string and also one of the other text strings on the same rowit would need to return a false result.

I currently have a formula to compare all text strings against the user defined entry and if it is contained in the first 2 columns it returns a true result and if it is contained in both ranges of text strings it returns a false result but i need it to apply the rules per row.

Below is the formula that I am currently using if this helps as a starting point. If you need a subset of the data I can supply this.

Current formula:

=IF(SUM(IF('HBO Frequency Projections.xls'!NOT_HOMEBASED"",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH('HBO Frequency Projections.xls'!NOT_HOMEBASED,C5)),1)))>0,"NOT HBO",IF(SUM(IF('HBO Frequency Projections.xls'!HOMEBASED"",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH('HBO Frequency Projections.xls'!HOMEBASED,C5)),1)))>0,"HBO","NOT HBO"))

Auto Copy Template On Record Entry & Link Set Cells Back New Record Entry Sheet

May 26, 2009

I am looking to create a macro that will create a new sheet when data is added on a summary sheet. Example.

1. Summary sheet called "Variations" contains columns that will contain the information needed for new sheet (Columns A to D)

2. When data is entered on "Variations" sheet: Column B, then macro automatically creates new sheet renamed to e.g. VO1 (Number used on "Variations" tab) and is a copy of "Master" tab.

3. Data entered in Column A to D on "Variations" tab is automatically entered onto new sheet created (e.g VO1). Shown is blue on attached file. Additional data is updated on "VO1" sheet and this then links back to "Variations" tab

How To Force User To Fill In Three Of Four Available Cells

Sep 16, 2013

I'm trying to force the user to fill in three of the four available cells.

Initially they have a choice of filling in data for either:

Sheets(1).Range("C4")
or
Sheets(1).Range("C6")

But after that both Sheets(1).Range("C8") & Sheets(1).Range("C11") cells must also be filled in.

So it's either cells:-
C4 + C8 + C11
Or
C6 + C8 + C11

Force Cells To Recalculate (simulate Double Click)

May 4, 2007

I have an interesting question for everybody here. Let me see how to best explain it.

I start in the code making sure column Action Plan completion has a value in it. Copying in the issue modified column if neccesary.

'Back fill last modified
'I need to start with the first data row (3) and the action plan completion column
Let intcurrentrow = 3
Let intcurrentcol = intactionplancompletion
Do Until intcurrentrow > intmaxrow
If Cells(intcurrentrow, intcurrentcol).Value = "" Then
Let Cells(intcurrentrow, intcurrentcol).Value = Cells(intcurrentrow, intissuemodified).Value
'Need to ensure that everything is formatted as a date
Let Cells(intcurrentrow, intcurrentcol).NumberFormat = "m/d/yy h:mm AM/PM"
End If
Let intcurrentrow = intcurrentrow + 1
Loop

Later, I place this formula in a given cell.

=If(I9="Open-Remediated",M9-K9, If(I9="Closed-Remediated and Validated",M9-K9,"" ))

The info I copied above is placed into the column K.

When I run the macro, the cell formula outputs "#value".

However, if I go double-click then enter the cell calculates just fine.

I've tried excels overall recalculate function, but that doesn't change this.

Does anybody know how to simulate a double-click on a cell?

Sorting With Multiple Rows Per Entry

I've come upon a problem with sorting that I don't know how to tackle... I have entries in a workbook that I want to sort by a transaction number, but each entry spans multiple rows. One "entry" might look like this, for example:

TransID PassengerName Ticket#
leg of travel: Departure Arrival
leg of travel: Departure Arrival

I need to be able to sort by TransID or PassengerName while keeping the "legs of travel" attached to the correct TransID/Ticket#.

Multiple User Data Entry?

We need to have various users input data into a spreadsheet, so I have created a userform. Just need some code with the submit button to populate the central sheet, I think that I will need it to open the sheet, paste the data, save and close it.

This is my submit button as it stands, with the form and spreadsheet in the same workbook:

Private Sub btnSubmit_Click()
Dim RowCount As Long
Dim ctl As Control
RowCount = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B1").CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B1")
.Offset(RowCount, 0).Value = Me.coboPropSalutation.Value

Multiple Worksheets For Data Entry

Apr 8, 2008

I currently have a spreadsheet that has a total of 20 workbooks in all. Each workbook contains between 5 and 100 rows and between 20-40 columns. Each column is a different category that I have data on for that particular tool manufacturer. What I want to do is create a front workbook where I can do all my searching. I would like the user to impute data into a search cell, hit a macro button, and have the full row that data was in be shown to them. Depending on which criteria they search for, the value may be found at the start, middle or end of the row.

Also, like I said the number of columns differs between each workbook. I would also like it to print out the categories for that workbook so that the person inputing the data knows what all the different numbers are when they come up.

Each workbook is a different tool manufacturer that my company has a tool from so there should never be duplicate data. The problem is that after I finish the spreadsheet, I am turning it over to the floor workers and they will have the ability to add/change any information in any workbook. If a mistake is made and different workbooks have the same data, I would like it to print out the category and data from the first workbook, then print the category and data from the next workbook and so on. The Category headers make up the first 2 rows of each sheet.

Error - Multiple Entry On Sheet From Userform

Oct 10, 2011

I have a userform

1. On my userform I've got 9 txt fields, 18 opt boxes and 3 buttons (please see attached form)

My problem is: If I intput a principal name, spouse name and child/ dependants I seem to work just fine.

However, if I input just a principal name and child/dependant instead of just placing one child/adult dependant on the sheet it places 2.

As a matter of fact, if no spouse is selected and child/dependant is entered then the last dependant is always repeated.

I have used the following code:

Private Sub CmdAdd_Click()
LR = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
Range("A" & LR) = txtPrin
Range("I" & LR) = txtTotal
Range("A" & LR + 1) = txtSpouse
If opt1.Value = True Then

Multiple User Data Entry Form

Jun 28, 2007

Basically at the moment our static data group use a generic sheet which lists all possible field variables. However, what I want to do is design something which only shows the fields that need to be filled out (ie if the field is shown it needs to be input).

Once the form is filled out it will get saved and sent via email, where it is then printed out and input by our data group. One way I thought about approaching this was to have 18 sheets which are hidden, and which are then selected when a report type is filled out. The other way would be to have IF statements but I think that would get complicated on the one sheet. Just really looking at ideas at this stage.... For example there are 30 fields on the sheet that we use now, but some reports may only need 5 of these fields - I therefore need to "hide" the remaining 25...

Look For 1st Matching Entry For Multiple Data Ranges In Worksheet

Dec 30, 2008

hello. i'm new to excel and i'm really hoping for some serious help here. i have the basics down however i'm really stumped at this point. Let me try to explain my worksheet. the worksheet has a sheet for data which is used for drop list values in the new patient template sheet. the new patient template which is just that a blank entry sheet that the user duplicates and adds a new patient to the worksheet to track the visits made by medical staff. there could be over a hundred new patient sheets (each named by the patient) at any given time.

here is what i need help with: my sheet is setup on a monthly basis so each patient has a total of 4 - 5 weeks listed with entries for everytime a nurse visits that patient. what i need to know is how to search the cell entries for the first time a visit occurred and the date it occurred and this needs to be broken down by the 1st of the month - the 15th and then again for the 16th - the end of month for every patient sheet in the workbook. the ranges are not together that i need to search for example f14:f20, i14:i20, f35:f41 and so on for the first 15 days of the month. this all needs to happen like in a macro or somehow automatically.

Lock Cells For A Certain Time After Entry

Oct 10, 2012

I've got a spreadsheet set up for a simple barcode scanning system. The user scans the barcode of the product when complete, and it logs it to a sheet along with a date & time timestamp. I'm then planning to use a v-lookup (barcode to product name) & pivot-table to count instances of 'product name' so that I can monitor what is being produced easier, nothing too tricky.

The problem I'm having comes from the products of the same spec having the same barcode, so data validation is hard to apply, as I can't 'not allow dupes' - the concern I have is that if the user unknowingly (or knowingly!) scans the same ticket twice, I think I've got 2 of a product when I've only got one. The idea I had was to lock all cells for a set time period (say 1 minute) after an entry so that it couldn't be accidentally scanned twice.
