How To Get Automatic Popup Message When Cell Text Is Entered To Column Range
Jul 10, 2013
I have an excel file with many worksheets. I want to get a pop up message providing definitions of different subjects when they are entered from a drop down list in a specific range within a column to improve the users understanding of the subjects.
Worksheet 1
Range (where I want the pop up message to be valid): J85:J385
Subjects from drop down list in specified range: "x,y,z"
Pop up message: "Definitions of x,y,z"
Do I have to make a new module, or write the macro in the selected worksheet? What should be the settings of the macro (general, worksheet, declarations etc.)
I am trying to get a user form to popup when text is manually entered into a certain cell. Right now the cell has a drop down in it that the user can select from a list of people. What I would like is that if the person is not in the dropdown list they can enter their name in the cell or select not in list and a user form will popup and ask them to enter their name and weight which will then be put into a different cell. This may be a complicated way to do this but the workbook is very complicated as is already and I cant figure out anything else to work.
This seems like a very simple question but I can't find the answer that I'm looking for. I have a spreadsheet with a drop-down ( validation) list. Based on what the person selects, I then would like to have a message box to come that would direct them that certain cells then need to be filled in.
I have a list of workers' names for my payroll. to lessen the time everytime i do the payroll, how can i have the nearest name appear/pop up as i type it and select the correct name by just hittng the "enter" key?
I'd like to have a warning message pop up if the value of column AF is 3 or less.
Column AF is counting entries in columns E:I by using the formula
=COUNTBLANK(E1:I1)
to create the value
A value of 5 is OK (no data in E to I), and 4 is also fine (just one entry in E to I) A value of 3 or less, indicating more than one column in E to I having data, needs to display the message. Presently I have a conditional format on another column to display red background when AF is 3 or less, but it's a little ambiguous, so a message would be neater!
Codes are entered manually only in Column A starting at A1..A10000+ ranges.
As Unique codes are entered ie. 1234 or 2345 or 3456 in the next empty cell down, I need a specific popup message for each of the three codes instructing the user what to do next.
I want to create a pop up message showing count of cells turned red,each time the workbooked are opened.like column "I" has two dates in red colour,so the pop up will say "you have 2 contracts expired"
I have this code and would like that when you change the Target.Value it would pop a confirmation box with yes or no option. I know how to implement this for a button, but cant figure how do i do it with this code.
I am building a macro that deals with a lot of data and takes several minutes to run. I want to display a message to the user stating "Calculating..." while the calculating is taking place. I got the idea to use a userForm with a label on it. The problem is that excel waits for input from the userform before continuing the calculations.
How do I display the userform, continue doing the calculations, and then hide the userform when the calculations are complete? (without any input from the user)
we are having a excel sheet which has data in it. ex:
In sheet3: D |F Columns: Logic |Field Rows: market |business proposed |consumer
In sheet2: A |B List of sheet | Field sheet3 |business sheet4 |other
In Sheet1: A |B List of sheet |Field sheet3 |consumer
When a user points to the particular cell(f2,f3) in column F of sheet3, it should display a message weather the data in particular cell is in which sheet( Sheet1 or sheet2 or not specified) and hyperlink must be displayed. when we click on the hyperlink it should go to the data particular row of the sheet.(Sheet1 or sheet2)..
I have the below code to iterate and copy/paste data.
Code: Application.DisplayAlerts = False Dim r As Range Set r = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("POList").Range("A2:A150")
[Code]...
This works fine, but I always get a message saying:
"Data on the Clipboard is not the same size and shape as the selected area. Do you want to paste the data anyway?"
The method completes when I click OK, but I am having to do this hundreds of time as there are a lot of files to be created. Is there a way to stop this message?
I have a worksheet with 3 cells in it. One cell is "Total", the second cell is "Adjustment" and the third cell is "Variance".
How can I create a popup message that states "Adjustment is Below the Total" and show the variance in the Variance cell in the event that the Adjustment value is below the Total value ?
Im trying to come up with a popup message That informs the user that the quanity they entered is not divisible by 12. Here is what I got so far:
The Range("D" & Target.Row) = "6' PANELS WITH STANDS"( this is the item chosen by the user via a drop down) Then they enter the quanity in Range("A" & Target.Row)
So if the item chosen in Column "D" is "6' PANELS WITH STANDS" and they enter the quanity in Column "A" and it is not divisible by 12 you would then get the message letting you know that.
I am writing code in Excel VBA and trying to control power-point. at the end there is message-box pop up. Everything runs fine.
But at the end I have go bottom windows bar and click on the excel file then message box comes up, otherwise excel tag keeps blinking at the bottom. I want to add something to code so message box in excel file is pop-up automatically without me clicking on excel file.
The piece of the script which I'm having difficulty with is this:
Code: For Each cell In Range("B7:B400") If cell.Value = "No" Then MsgBox "If " & cell.Offset(0, 1).Value & " has left R&D, please remember to delete any future resource forecasts" End If Next
When the cell value has changed to 'No' the pop up message appears, but for some strange reason the message is shown 5 times, despite their being only one record.The other problem I have is if I add another record and change the value to 'No' in column B, the message is shown twice, once for the previous record and the second for the new.
Is it possible to have an automatic pop up (warning) message if the (contract) date (in cell U3) expires in three months. In the message should also be mentioned the contents of cell A3 + the contents of cell K3 + the contents of cell U3. I don't want to use conditional format but need to show a warning.
I have a column C with different text in cells (item's title). Column D - relevant description for each of the items. 100+ rows.
Now, unfortunately, often a spreadsheet with items is updated with many new items. So I get a new spreadsheet with old and new items mixed. I need, somehow, to import descriptions of the old items (Column D of the old spreadsheet) to the new spreadsheet from old spreadsheet. So I want excel to look for old items in column A of the new spreadsheet and, once found, insert a description in the column B from old spreadsheet.
Is it possible to have multiple passwords for a column based on text entered. I was hoping to use it as a form of digital signature. Eg if I wanted to enter my initals KP I would have to enter password assigned to KP, if a staff member entered their initials "AB" they would have to enter password assigned to that.
I have been browsing the web trying to find a worksheet event that will automatically open a message box if the user tries to delete the sheet. Is this possible??
PS I do not want them to delete the sheet, so perhaps a message box with a a cancel button
How to send a range of cells in a sms text message by using Visual Basic for Applications in Excel?
BTW: I really need this to work for my job! So any feedback would be greatly welcomed. Please read below to understand what I'm trying to do. I need to be able to send my guys their daily goals via sms text message:
The following works great for sending a range of cells in a email message: ....
2007 Excel spreadsheet. My company currently shares ONE spreadsheet to generate new project numbers (Shown below). My issue is once a new number is assigned, it is supposed to be entered into our accounting software but that doesn't appear to be happening in some cases.
Is there a way that a pop up message can appear when column G is populated (Entered by)? Something like, "please be sure to enter this XYZ".
Please find attached a daily copy of a spreadsheet that is used to monitor train running times.
The columns on the left - "Serv No, Serv Start Date,Train No:, Scheduled Arrival, Scheduled Depart" are provided to us automatically and the underlying cell formatting/formula cannot be changed. This information is cut directly from a daily report sent to us the previous day. The cell formatting for the start date is custom - dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm.
The sheet is usually locked out with user access only to the left hand side to cut and paste train times in and the input columns on the right hand side. User has no requirement to adjust any details in the left had column apart from to add additional trains at the bottom is need be. I have left the loaded sheet blank and complete with all underlying cell formatting, conditional formatting and formulas intact for you to play with.
Both sheets essentially do the same thing so whatever formula changes are made to the empty sheet can be adapted for the loaded sheet.
For simplicity, I will focus on the empty sheet. What I am mucking around with is having the user input the train arrival time in the "Actual Arrival" column - (column F)
What I am looking at then making occur is the spreadsheet automatically filling the adjacent columns with the appropriate text and calculations.
To do this excel needs to compare column the number (cell input is text formatted) as a number with the arrival time in column G. It then needs to calculate if the train is Early (16 minutes or more before scheduled arrival), on time (+/- 15 minutes either side of scheduled arrival) or late (16 minutes or more after scheduled). It then needs to automatically place the letter "E", "O" or "L" in column K and the time differential in column L.
My problem is two fold.
Firstly, I cannot seem to make the spreadsheet automatically enter a letter into column K depending on the above conditions.
Secondly, I have had limited success in having the spreadsheet compare column J with column F and working out the differential. However, this only works if the time remains linear. IE only if the train runs on time or late. It gives an incorrect time differential if the train is early. I will attach this spreadsheet tomorrow as an add on to this post.
