How To Create A User Input Dialog Box
Nov 13, 2008
I have a macro that's running quite well and is cross-posted here:
[url]
What I need to do is allow for user input. I want to create a dialog box that pops up and asks for an input range, when the user runs the macro. Values can only be from 1 - 50. And the user won't be allowed to select broken sequences, like 6, 9, 12-15.
They would have to be continuous, i.e. 6 - 15, etc. I'm still very new to VBA. I can play with the control toolbox, but I have very little understanding of how to interface with the components that I'm adding/creating. Once I have that range, I want to use the inputs as the 'start' and 'stop' points for my loop. So I need to capture the values and pass them as input parameters, I'm guessing.
I can modify the loop to accept the inputs, I'm just not sure how to capture them from a user input dialog box.

I have a workbook with 23 pages, each running a macro to calculate the final "answer".
I would like to make the title page comman button create a dialog box, listing the 23 pages/macros with a check-box for each (default is "checked") asking the user which macros / calculations to execute. Any ideas how to do this?
I am trying to avoid making this a sheet in my workbook.

I want to create a user input for a "LARGE" function so that I can then return the specified # of "large" items. i.e. user wants to get the top X number of users, user then enters number either into a dialog box or cell, code then looks at the number and populates a range of cells based on the input value. The current code that I am using simply refers to an existing table (r9:r30) that I then used the auto fill to copy to cells below it.
=INDEX(Sheet2!B$20:B$961,MATCH((LARGE(Sheet2!$F$20:$F$961,$R9)),Sheet2!$F$20:$F$961,0))
I really want to be able to just get a user dialog box going that will automatically populate both the range r9:rx (where X is the user input) and then also copy the above formula into the x number of cells below it.

I am working on a spreadsheet and would like to create a cell that allows the user to input a number (1 to 5) which will then equate to a percentage(%). I would then like this to deduct that percentage from a total number...
To try and explain this.. Should the user input 1 into the cell, this would then equate to 3% - this would then deduct from a total that percentage. Input 2 = 5% etc..

I'm trying to create a formula similar to this:
=Calculations!(Indirect("N"&A2)-Indirect("AB"&A2)+Indirect("AA"&A2)
The idea is that the user will enter a value in cell A2. That number will determine the appropriate rows in the formula above.

I'm trying to create a dynamic array so that when a user enters the first sheet name via an input box, excel will know to select the other sheets with ending (2), (3), (4) etc.
Currently this code works only if there are 4 sheets present (as I set this way), anything lower/higher is out of range.
How do I make it so that it will select sheets if there are less than 4 sheets present?
I tried nesting, but I pretty sure this array needs redimming or something. Is ubound a better option?

I have to design an input user form (a button that opens an input box or dialog box), which asks user to "Enter number of "columns"".
User enters a number i.e. 2 or 3 etc
It then asks user for the headings of these coulmns and places first column heading in A1 and second column heading in B1, third in C1 and so on ...

I have a user form that has a combo box "City" two text boxes one called "Flight" and the other "Date". What I'm trying to do is to prevent the user from saving the data input from the user form if any of those three fields is left blank. The code that I have so far checks all of the required fields, if any are left blank a message notifys which field(s) is left blank and return the focus back to that field. But the rest of code also fires.
What I really need is either to stop the code if any fields are blank and return the focus back to the blank field, the user completes the field(s) and clicks the save again, or better yet, pause the code until all the required fields are completed and then complete the save. (There is actually another 200+ lines of code in this sub, but I deleted it to keep the post a little shorter.)

I am trying to create a macro which gives me an input box. I need to enter 2 numbers into the input box. It would be as follows:
Input Box Msg 1 - "What is your labor cost?" (NUM1)
Input Box Msg 2 - "What is your productivity rate?" (NUM2)
Then I need the macro to take this info and enter it into a formula which changes according to the row which you are on. (I need the macro to work based on which ever cell I currently have selected). The formula would be this if I currently had a cell on row 10 selected:
=(NUM1*(NUM2*$H10))/$H10
So, if I currently had cell L10 selected, and I ran the macro and put 100 in for "NUM1" and 10 for "NUM2" and my sheet had 20 in cell H10, then the macro would enter the number 1,000 into cell L10. If I had L500 selected, then the macro would enter the final number into cell L500 based on what value H500 contained.

This is what I'm trying to do:
1. When a user clicks on a Drop down box and selects "Add New", I would like a Macro to run
2. I want this Macro to open up a Dialog/Text box to say "Enter New Information" where the user can enter in some text
3. The text that is entered by the user into this box will be added as a new entry into the Drop down box selection
My VBA knowledge is still at a beginner's level and I know how to get a Macro to run based on a cell value. However I don't know how to create a Macro for the dialog box nor do I know how to create a Macro for updating the drop-down items.

How do I pause my macro until the user selects a chart in the worksheet? Or Keep prompting a message to the user till he selects the chart and when a chart is selected run the macro.
Step 1: Check if a chart is Selected
Step 2: If yes, run the macro
Step 3: If no, prompt the user with a msgbox of Retry/Cancel.
Step 4: If the user selects Retry, wait till he makes a selection.
Step 5: If the selection is a chart, run the macro. If the selection is not a chart prompt the same msgbox again and keep looping it till he selects a chart.
Sub test5()
Dim chtSelected As Chart
Dim UserResponse As Integer
On Error Resume Next
Set chtSelected = ActiveChart
[Code] .....

I would like to do a Macro which requires user to go to a specific line which is variable in each work sheet. I would like to be able to enter the number and then delete all lines below that point and then continue with the balance of the macro.
Is there an easy way to pause the Macro and then restart it? Or is there a code that I can insert in the Macro to locate a specific Cell and then delete all lines below the next line?

In my macro, I'm trying to use an input box to determine the factor to multiply another cell by. I also want to only allow entry of 6.0 or less, and only allow, (but not require), a single decimal place. Here's what I've got so far, but it's not working:

I would like to make a button on my toolbar that will let me autofill whatever cell I've selected down to whatever row I designate. I would like to have a user input where you put in the row number and it autofills whatever formula down to that row in the column selected.
I know how to do a normal autofill, but I don't know how to do a user input or have it input into the autofill process.

This code works fine if i use static ranges, but i would like the user to input the column in which the data is stored.
'Get data for the locations of the gaming license numbers needed for the comparison
varPlayerHost = InputBox("Please enter a single letter for the" + vbCrLf + _
"Column that the Player Host License" + vbCrLf + _
"numbers are in.", "Player Host Number Location", "H")
varHostLicense = InputBox("Now enter the column letter for the copied employee" + vbCrLf + _
"license numbers", "Employee License Number Location", "U")
'Set the ranges for the data to be compared
'This is where I am getting the error???
Set rRangeA = Range([varPlayerHost,1], Range(varPlayerHost, 65536).End(xlUp))
Set rRangeB = Range([varHostLicense,1], Range(varHostLicense, 65536).End(xlUp))
'The actual comparison and deletion of record that match the license numbers copied.
'When this function finishes you will be left with a spreadsheet that only has patron
'information left for the patrons that have an invalid host number.
For Each rCell In rRangeA
If WorksheetFunction. CountIf(rRangeB, rCell) > 0 Then
rCell.EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next rCell
This exact code is kicking an error
"Run Time error 1004"
"Method 'Range' of Object '_Global' failed"
Not quite sure where i went wrong.

If anything else is entered into the input box a message box (MSGbox) with a vbCritical button will appear with the following prompt "You entry (insert entry data here) is inccorect." I don't know the code for "insert entry data here".

I would like a cell to have user input. If there is no input then the cell should reference a value in another cell. My strategy was to use a formula in another cell to check to see if the user input cell was empty. If it was empty then the formula propagated the cell. If it had user inputted data then it stayed like it was.
Here is an example:
Begin Invent
1000
Gallons
End Invent
User input or
formula here
Gallons
Received
Gallons
Used
Gallons
I want the user to be able to input a value for the End Invent cell right below 1000. If there is no value I want that same cell to mirror the cell above it with the 1000 in it.

I have a cell which team members enter their team name in to. For example FR1 and RA5. I set up data validation to only allow four characters so they can enter RA10 FR15 etc. However I have now found some are entering FR 1 with a space between the team name and number. This then means my formulas further on are not picking up the cell correctly. How can I have the space between the FR and 1 removed automatically upon user input?

I need a cell to display a default value (something like "Input Here") which a user can overwrite with a value. When the value is erased, the cell should return to the default. Preferably, it'd be great if the cell reset to the default value whenever the workbook is opened as well (i.e. won't save the user's input value).

I am trying to build a user-friendly Excel database that takes the user's input from various cells and logs that data input by the user in successive rows to the side. Please see the screenshots of my current spreadsheet below:
Compressor Database.jpg
From the screenshot above, I would like for the user to input their data for the Date of Last Inspection, Current Hours, and check the boxes for any services they performed in the orange/pink "Input" box on the left. Currently I have the spreadsheet set up so that the orange/pink "input" areas recognize data put in to the yellow "Data Log" cells to the right. I am trying to get the yellow "Data Log" cell area to store the Date and Hours data put in by the user in successive rows like a database, but I am not sure how to do this. I was thinking of putting a button in the says "Log Data" which would, when clicked, store the data in the "Data Log" cells. I am unsure if I need to use a Macro or whether Excel has a simple, built-in function that can be used. Eventually I have plans for the "Date of Last _______ Change" Gray boxes, but would like to take this one step at a time.
I am not well versed in VBA and Excel Macros, and I am currently using Microsoft Excel 2007 (yes, I know it is old). I do have C# and Matlab coding experience, however I would like to do this in Excel to make it easier for the User as it is a well known program.

I have a very simple macro for recalculating formulas and printing the page.
I need a way to show an input box where the user can say how many times to repeat the process i.e. 2x = recalculate, print, recalculate, print.

I am writing a macro that will perform a loop operation to export files. I want the user to specify the path, and the macro will save each exported file to that folder.
I did a number of searches and I can't find exactly what I'm looking for.
I think I want to use ChDir after using CurDir. But I don't know how to code the macro so that it asks the user to specify the location.

Due to the economy we are only scheduling days to work one week ahead which leads to alot of phone calls. The gaurds who get the calls then search thru a printed spreadsheet looking for a clock number or last name. I realized right away they should just look at the file on the computer and due edit - find. The problem is they due not use computers unless printing and they looked at me like I was talking in a different language. So I want to edit this macro below so it will allow user to type in search criteria instead of using same search criteria every time. Here it is 70039. I also need to place a shortcut or button to this macro on the toolbar or sheet and do not know how. How do I stop "remove macro or enable when file is loaded"?

Does VBA support any type of "browse for file" interface? I'm thinking something similar to an inputbox, but instead it gives you the standard looking windows explorer window to find a file (think adding an attachment in outlook).
The function would return a string.

I'm trying to get a users' selected range to display in a cell as stored text.
therefore, If a user selects A1:D7. The text in Cells("G", 10) will be:"A1:D7"
w/o the quotes.
I've attached an example workbook.
Here's the formula thus far:
Sub SelectRangeBox()
Dim rnBody As Range
Dim vaMsg As Variant
Do
vaMsg = Application.InputBox( _
Prompt:="Please enter the message-text:", _
Title:="Message", _
Type:=2)
Loop While vaMsg = ""................................
Actuall maybe my thread should be Titled. user selected cell range displayed in input box save to cell as a text value.

I work in the Quality dept and I have came up with a gauge calibration workbook. I am in need of a command button to get an user input "date" and sort the data and print by that date. What I have now is you have to manually sort by the date needed and copy and paste to a worksheet.
