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
[code]....

I am trying to use an If statement and wanting to evaluate another formula.
The formula is as follows: =IF(B6>=7,Table!M16,Table!M47) where B6 =REPLACE(D24,1,3,"") which returns an integer. In this case it is 6.
Unfortunately it doesn't process the formula value correctly in the If statement unless the reference cell is hard coded with the integer. Is there a way to force the formula to evaluate the value of the cell formaula first before doing the If comparison?

This is my formula:
=DCOUNT(timeg15w!$A$1:$F$3909, "WPC",Criteria!A1:C2)
My question concentrates on this part of the formula:...Criteria!A1:C2
When I drag down the formula, it changes, as usually, adding 1 to the cells address, like this:
Criteria!A1:C2
Criteria!A2:C3
Criteria!A3:C4
BUT, I want the formula dragged down, adding 2 instead of 1, changing like this:
Criteria!A1:C2
Criteria!A3:C4
Criteria!A5:C6
How can I achieve this result?

I have a text file I am importing and using text-to-colums.
Some of the text is "+TOL" "-TOL" and when excel converts to columns it is forcing the text to a formula "=+Tol" "=-Tol" giving me #NAME? in those cells.
I can format the cells as text, which is fine for now since I'm using VBA, but if I need to use any formulas then I'm SOL...

I've created a file where our accountmanagers can mace price calculations. But eversince i've added a macro to force them to fill the form completely, they have gone and tried to hack the macro (and with succes).
I now would like to add a protection for the macro, so they can only access VBA when "sheet1" is unprotected. How can i do this?
I also would like to create a macro so they only can save the file as a Macro Enabled Excel file (.xlsm),
how can i do this best? .....

There might be an easy solution for this, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'm trying to do a vlookup with the lookup value being #CFDMSMCSA*4. But the lookup table also has a value #CFDMSMCSAM4 in it.
It keeps returning the value for this #CFDMSMCSAM4 because of the * in the first string. Any ideas.

I have a sheet which is protected but people are still able to change cell formats etc if they use the standard paste method. I want people to be able to paste data in but it forces paste special values to stop people pasting formats etc over already formatted and locked cells.
I know I could write a macro and run it using the shortcut keys ctrl-v but then the users lose the ability to undo if they make a mistake.
Is there a way to force paste special or allow users to run a macro but be able to do undo if they make a mistake?

I have a spreadsheet that has a button named Exit Requisition Program on it to close the application with. When the button is used everything is wonderful. All of the data on the sheet is saved and the application closes. I have a problem with some users clicking the red X without saving changes and that creates a big problem.
What I need to do is any one of several things.
1. Remove the red X completely.
2. Deactivate the red X.
3. Have a message box pop up instructing the user to use the Exit Button when the red X is used. Any one of the three methods listed above would work for me.

I have a workbook that pulls in index data from Bloomberg, most data is updated realtime, but one index we track is only updated late at night. I want to write a macro that will refresh all of the data in the worksheet and then save a snapshot of the workbook. I have all the code for saving the snapshot, but getting the data for the one index to refresh is proving difficult. None of the standard ways I know to refresh external data (both Excel commands via tools menu, and Bloomberg specific refresh commands) seem to work on these cells. The only way so far I've found to get these cells to pull in current data is to delete them and rewrite the formulas.
suggestion for a Macro that would force a refresh of this data?

I have been using excel for years but have always managed to resolve issues using formula's etc but now i have had to step into the realms of macro's. I am slowly learning but urgently need help with the below problem which is bound to be a simple solution.
I have compiled a workbook for users to administrate on a daily basis. (each worksheet is a different day of the month but the same template) There are a few hidden worksheets as the info is extracted from these to run reports.
The issue/s i have is that administrators use cut, copy and paste to repeat data opposed to retyping, this messes formats, formulas and validation up. I have used a macro from the net to remove this option and it works fine. Problem is that if they do not enable macro's this will cease to be an option.
I understand that you cannot remove the option of enabling macro's but you can force. Again used a macro from the web that if you don't enable it only shows a welcome page saying that macro's need to be enabled to use. (all others are hidden) if macro's are enabled the welcome page disappears and the worksheets 1-31 reappear. Again this worked fine.
I tried putting both macro's into the same workbook but kept coming up with errors, each one i resolved led to another.
So short of it i need a instructions/macro to force macros and remove cut copy and paste.

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?

When you click File>Save As, you get a save as window that shows the current file name to "Save As"
I would like to create a macro that shows the values in a couple of cells (lets use Range("A1") & Range("B2")) instead of the current file name.

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

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

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.

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? 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.

Currently using LEN to simply count 50 characters then it tells the user that they need to move onto the next line.
Is it possible with VBA that after 50 characters reached in the selected cell it forces the user into the next cell below and so on in a loop?

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

My company uses 4 types of barcodes 8, 12, 13, & 14 number barcodes for our products my problem is that I can't figure out how to force the barcode to format properly no matter how somebody enters it if they don't use spaces or put them in the wrong spots, I can't use custom formats because there is 4 different layouts
8 digit should be "#### ####"
12 digit should be "###### ######"
13 digit should be "# ###### ######"
14 digit should be "# ## ##### ######"
these barcodes are in columns L, M, & N also right now 'm using a formula in another cell to verify the barcodes by calculating the check digit and comparing it to the check digit typed the formula i'm using is

I have been looking around have this much code from this site, modified. What I am trying to do is calculate numbers by a position with cells D through K having numeric values. I have 'hardcoded' the cells (D2, E2, etc in the code below), but in reality I only want the current row (so if the formula is on the 2nd row, I want D2, if it is on the 3rd row, I want D3).
My problem is obviously the formula isn't working because I am not correctly tying back to the spreadsheet (Positioncalc.xls). When I put the formula in the spreadsheet it works, but in my script I get 0 everytime.
My Script:
Function Position(rCell As Range, Optional RightPosition As Boolean)
Dim vResult
Select Case rCell.Text
Case "QB"
vResult = (2*D2) + (2*E2) + (2*F2) + (4*G2) + (2*H2) + (1*I2) + (4*J2) + (3*K2)
Case Else
vResult = "Invalid Position"
End Select
If RightPosition = True Then
Position = vResult
Else
Position = "Position not valid"
End If
End Function
So, when I put =Position(A2,True) I expect to see the formula results of those cells calculated based on the position (QB, HB, etc with their unique formulas).
My next challenge after this is to highlight certain cells based on the Position. So if A2 = QB, I want cell D2 boldface and Red, etc. I have seen some scripts on colors and such here, so I might be able to figure it out.

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.

A1=text A2 will either be "yes" or "No"
What I want to do is format A1 by either a fill colour or text colour. Any type of format I guess. If A2 is "Yes" then A1 is green and If A2 is "No" then A1 is red.

How to write a VB macro to copy an existing formula from cell A1 to cell A2 and back again.
I want to have a macro button which will act as a toggle each time the button is clicked.
For example the data will either be in cell A1 or A2.
When the button is clicked once, I would like the macro to execute and determine whether the formula is contained in A1 or A2.
If it finds data in cell A1, I want the Macro to cut and paste it to cell A2.
On the second click of the button I want it to do the opposite. Effectively it's a toggle switch.
