View 10 RepliesThe following code highlights part of the time (hours or minutes) that will be modified by a spin button. The code works fine (although maybe a more efficient way). Each time you click in the time it will highlight the hours or the minutes, depending on where you click. When you click on the spin button the control loses the focus so becomes un-highlighted. I thought that just setting the focus back to the text box would work but what I am getting now is it highlights on every other click of the spin button.
Private Sub spnTime_Change()
Dim dtTime As Date
Dim y As Integer
If strTimeChange = "" Then
MsgBox "Please click on a time to modify it"
Exit Sub
End If
dtTime = Format(ctlText, "hh:mm")
y = Me.spnTime.Value...............
When I use TextBox.SetFocus in a userform , the curser will be inside the TextBox,
My TesxtBox has a value in it, so when i apply the TextBox.SetFocus I want the value to be highlighted insted of only being the active TesxBox.
i am working on a userform that contains several controls one of which is a textbox ,everything is fine except that i need to know which textbox property to use in order to highlight the text writen inside the textbox, i know "setfocus" but thats not excatly what i need, i need to highlight the text inside the textbox.
example:
"textbox.setfocus" sets the focus onto the textbox without highlighting its content
what i need is:
"textbox.ur suggestion" sets the focus onto the textbox & highlight its content, this way i will no longer have to clear the text using the backspace key to write another text
Sub Thanks()
With UserForm1
.TextBox1 = "1111111111111"
.TextBox2= "BBBBBBBBBBBB"
.TextBox3= "Tres"
.TextBox4 = "44444444444444"
.TextBox5 = "Five"
.TextBox5.SetFocus '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
.TextBox6 = "666666666"
.Show
End With
End Sub
is there a way to highlight the content of the TextBox5 when Showing the Userform?
I have the below code that I am using to find an empty textbox with the name FirstName. All it does is place the cursor in the FirstName text box if the textbox is empty, but doesn't really make it stand out. I was hoping to find a way to color the background of the textbox pink, or have it set up so it would stand out somehow.

I received sample code to populate a listbox from tab names of a workbook, yay!
What I have attempted is to use a user form, enter a string in a textbox and if it match's any string in the list box, then highlight.
Basically, its a simple search engine.
In Excel VBA Userform, how to copy the text from textbox automatically when the cursor is being moved from the textbox. And when i put CTRL+V then the copyed text has to be pasted.

Here is my code, it does a vlookup and if the persons name is not found it will split the text entered into forename and surname but when i try and add
Code:
frmAdd.txtForename.Text = "&ForeName &"
frmAdd.txtSurname.Text = "&SureName &"
It actually displays &ForeName & in the text box of the next from rather than what ForeName is..
eg. John Smith -> search button -> user not found msg -> user wants to add user -> string is split into forename and surname -> forename = John , surname = Smith -> display this in the second form.
What code should i be using to do this, i thought that &ForeName & would work.
Looking for a macro to insert a textbox with the textbox containing a formula rather then text.
Sub AddTextBox()
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddTextBox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 2.5, 1.5, _
116, 145).Name = "Textbox1"
ActiveSheet.Shapes(1).Select
Selection.Formula = "=Manpower!R[3]C[1]"
End Sub
I tried this but I cant get the formula portion to work... I just want to insert a macro with that formula....
I have attached my file.
When the Go button in text box in the 'VSVA-1 Data' tab is pressed, a new tab is created. I would like the tab to be renamed after the text that is entered into the text box. Is this possible? Here is what I have so far.
VB:
Sub RenameTab()
'Renames the worksheet tab
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("VSVA-1 Data").Select
tabName = TextBox1
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("VSVA Data").Select
Selection.Name = tabName
End Sub
This is the text:
Take 5 PPE Swabs per Area, Both Shifts. Test various equipment - hands, aprons, sleeves, hats, etc.
What I need is for "Take 5 PPE Swabs per Area, Both Shifts." to be bold and highlighted in gray, but none of the other text. Conditional formatting highlights the entire cell, which won't work.
How to Highlight Text?

Each cell in Range AL3..AL50000 have text (sentence - description of problem).
Cell AL1 has my search word (i.e. loose)
I would like to search range AL3..AL5000 for word "Loose" - if found highlight every cell where was found - Yellow.
If AL1 is empty - remove all highlights.
Here is what I have so far (patches of codes found in this forum)
Sub FindTextInCell()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim myText As String
myText = Sheets("detail_report").Range("AL1").Value
If myText = "" Then Exit Sub
Set Found = Range("AK2..AK56000").Find(What:=myText, LookIn:=xlValues, lookAt:=xlPart, MatchCase:=False)
If Not Found Is Nothing Then
Found.Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End If
End Sub
My code highlights only first found cell and if I type any other search word - highlight from the 1st search does not get removed.
I want to bold the text and numbers in a row if the row contains the word "total".
View 9 Replies View RelatedI tried using Conditional Formatting, but for some reason it didn't work. I want a cell to be highlighted and/or bolded when particular text is written. It can be in any cell. This can also include blank cells (if possible within a given area such as 20 cells by 20 cells)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to format some TextBoxes from within a For/Next loop. I need a way to check which TextBox is the active TextBox in the loop. Using i as the variable, I came up with this code snippet: Me.Controls("TB" & i).Text = Format("TB" & i, "mm/dd/yy")
If i = 3, this gives me in TextBox3 (which is called TB3) the text 'TB3' and not the value of what is in TB3. It has got to bo something simple, I just can't see it!!!
I've got a large Excel table that's full of names and e-mail addresses - it's a report of e-mails that merges some data from two systems we use; a registration form and a database. We want to clean up the data so it only lists folks who 'registered' (it's not always BOTH people listed - sometimes it's only one!) - and the best way to do that is to take the information from a specific column in each row, see if it exists elsewhere in the row and clear the information that doesn't match.
For example:
-A----------------B------------------C--------------------D--------------E------------------F-------------------G-
John ---------- Smith -------- js@email.com -------- Jane -------- Smith --------- js@email.com ------ John
Richard ------ McGee ---------j@email.com-----------Jim----------Samename ----jsn@email.com-------Rich
Mary-----------Ladyface ------ms@email.com--------Steve -------Smith ----------ss@email.com-------Steve
Ideally, for each row I'd like to search A and D for the string from column G. If it finds it, the cell and the two cells to the right are fine - but everything else is 'cleared' (not deleted).
So the above table would look like:
-A----------------B------------------C--------------------D--------------E------------------F-------------------G-
John ---------- Smith -------- js@email.com --------------------------------------------------------------- John
Richard ------ McGee ---------j@email.com-----------------------------------------------------------------Rich
-------------------------- -------------------------------Steve -------Smith ----------ss@email.com-------Steve
I would like to find a way that will look on a worksheet for a specfic word and highlight all the rows that contain this data.
Column A - Has the wording "JOB" & "WORK"
I want this to look down column A find all the rows with the word "JOBS" and just highlight them rows, i dont want a highlight like conditional formating but a highlight like when you click on the entire row.
What i want to do is highlight all row instances where that row column10 has the text "Roller" . All i can see is the forumular =$J1="Roller" ive tryed to select just the single cell J and tryed the whole row and a range. Though i get a error message about =-+ quotation ect.

I have data in columns A and B,
Column A has dates, column B has text
I am wanting to highlight text in column B in a colour
if date in column A is more than 10 days since date in column A on previous occurrence of text in column B
I am wondering how I can highlight rows that contain the same text across selected columns (not all). For example, consider the following table:
ID#6527
Jay
yellow
dog
[Code]...
I want to focus on Columns B, C, and D. I would like rows 3 and 5 to be highlighted, since they share the same text across the target columns. I assume this can be done via a formula in Conditional Formatting, but I'm not sure.
I have a 14 column report with a dynamic range of rows. In Column A, there will only be one cell that contains the text "Added Sections:".
I need to highlight, 10 whole rows up to the 14th column, after the cell that contains "Added Sections:".
I would like to highlight the rows in my spreadsheet where columns G and H both contain the text "Yes". I've tried conditional formatting and VBA but can't seem to get either to work for what I need.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have attached a file which shows some cells which start with "p" and then a number and some have the same but with the word " total" in them.
I would like to run a formula in the column next to it which will highlight which cells have that word in order that I can data sort a large file and delete the totals.
I think it will be an IF formula on cells that contain criteria.
How can I use conditional formating to produce the following:
if cells are between 0 and 10 OR they have text(or an error) = red
if cells >10<25 = orange
if cells > 25 = green
I have a list of names in Column B (Starting at B5) with assignments to them in Column A. I want the people who receive the file, to enter their name in B1 exactly as it appears multiple times in sheet. And hope to use conditional formatting to highlight (change the back ground color) of each cell their name appears in.
I've used a number of formulas in the Conditional formatting including "=(ISNUMBER(MATCH($B5:$B100,$B$1,0)))", Countif's and "Not(isnumber)..." but can't find a formula that picks up the whole text.
