View 1 RepliesThis 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.

1) check whether any value in column J, rows 7-18 is changed,
2) check whether the value is above the value in col H, respective row multiplied by 1,25,
3) if point 3 true, clear the contents of cells E24, F24, and show up a messagebox,
4) run another macro by pressing button in cell C24 in order to fill the E24 and F24 cells again.
What happens: Points 1-3 work perfectly well, but then i have a problem in point 4 - the messagebox of point 3 appears again and the work of macro of point 4 interrupts showing an "Application-defined or object-defined error".
The file with the code is attached : Example.xlsm
In a range of cells (e.g. B26-B40) I have names (first name and second name or first initial and second name). This data is carried from sheet 1 to the second sheet via formula. Some cells may be blank as well.
A VB code to display a message when the user changes the name in any of these cells with data or adds a new name to a cell that is blank, in sheet2
I have a file that the user selects and when they enter a value (in this case, a job title) into the input box, my macro looks for the value in that file. If the value is there, a msgbox pops up that lets the user know that the value was found and it then goes to that cell, displaying in the next msgbox the cell address of where the value was found. I already have the code down for this part of the macro.
My problem is what happens if the file has the same value more than once. Ideally, I'd like to display a message box that returns the addresses of both cells with the same value and then prompts the user to select one of these values as the value they are looking for. I am not sure if a msgbox or a msgbox and then an input box are most appropriate for this situation. Once the user does this, the macro continues. The rest of my macro is built on the cell where this value is, so it is crucial that I make sure there is at least one value selected. Any help is much appreciated. I have included a sample worksheet of what this situation might look like.
Here is the code I presently have for this part of my macro.
Sub GetOpenFileName()
strFind = InputBox("Please enter the job title you wish to search for:", "Search for job title in this file")
If strFind = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
With Sheets(strSheetsMainCompProfile)
If WorksheetFunction. CountIf(Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(100, 100)), "*" & strFind & "*") = 0 Then
MsgBox strFind & " cannot be found on this sheet"
Else
I have a sheet that has vast amount of rows and all I need is for a message prompt to appear if there is an empty cell in columns A to E and if possible the blank cells reference number to be displayed in the message prompt?

I have a page that shows staffing levels. If the member of staff is in work then I have to enter a value of 1 on each member so I can calculate the number of staff present. If they are on leave or similar then I enter a text value such as AL which discounts then from the total staff.
Is there a way to have the default value of 1 in a range of cells if the cell is blank automatically? Can this be done via VB?
I have a formula =MAX(0,37.5-M9) and I need the cell to show blank if the
answer is 0. What can I change?
How do I get the N/A not to show when the cell is blank with this
Code:
=VLOOKUP($A3,WWS!$A$1:$T$41,5,FALSE)
This is my formula. =IF(SUM(P5:P9)=0,"",SUM(P5:P9)
When P5 & P6 = 0 and P7 through P9 are blank, nothing populates for the answer. How do I make the answer = 0, when some 0,s are present in the equation?
I have a spreadsheet which imports data from worksheets week 1, 2 etc to a monthly summary.
Is there any way I can show a cell as blank if the return equals 0?
I'm sure the resolution is probably simple but then so am I.
On my spreadsheet i have 4 columns which are in currency format. The 5th column (total) adds the 4 up which currently looks like this - =SUM(BG44:BG45) this shows £0.00 in the 5th column.
What i need is a formula in the 5th column (total) so that when it adds up the 4 previous columns if the sum = £0.00 then the total column should show a blank cell.
there is data going to excel from database. The data is something like jan to dec sales and in a arbitrary fashion. now if there wont be data availble for say month of july then nothing will be there.
Now i need to nicely formulate data from jan feb ..Dec and in same order in another cells. Now for empty cells data after formualting it is coming as #N/A. and by this i am getting a same thing in the application where this excel sheet is being used. So for eliminating it i need to use 'if' such that if it is undefined or NULL then blank should be there in the formulated cell.
I have three formula in a spreadsheet, all of which should return a number (which they do) or show blank. However, two of the formula return 'FALSE'. The formula are as follows:
1 Which returns a number or 'FALSE'
=IF(A15="2",(""),IF('Doorset schedule'!N20="l",(""),IF('Doorset schedule'!AY20="l",(""),
IF('Doorset schedule'!AZ20="l",(""),IF('Doorset schedule'!BA20="l",(""),IF('Doorset schedule'!BB20="l",(""),
IF('Doorset schedule'!BC20="l",(""),IF('Doorset schedule'!CN20="l",(""),IF('Doorset schedule'!S20="l",(3),
IF('Doorset schedule'!T20="l",(6),IF('Doorset schedule'!U20="l",(6),IF('Doorset schedule'!W20="l",(4)))))))))))))
2 Which returns a number or remains blank (ie works OK)
=IF(A15="2",(""),IF('Doorset schedule'!N20="l",(""),IF('Doorset schedule'!AW20="l",(""),IF('Doorset schedule'!AX20="l",(""),
IF('Doorset schedule'!CN20="l",(""),IF(AND('Doorset schedule'!AY20="",
'Doorset schedule'!AZ20="",'Doorset schedule'!BA20="",'Doorset schedule'!BB20="",
'Doorset schedule'!BC20=""),(""),IF(AND('Doorset schedule'!S20="l",'Doorset schedule'!
[Code] ......
3 Which returns a number or 'FALSE'
=IF('Doorset schedule'!$CW20="N",(" "),IF('Doorset schedule'!$CX20="1",("1"),
IF('Doorset schedule'!$CY20="2",("2"),IF('Doorset schedule'!$CZ20="4",("4")))))
I have 5 cells on a sheet. When one has an X in it the other 4 go blank. It so I can keep track of who has ownership of a job.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a piece of code that I can use.
Basically if cell A2 is non blank then I want cell C2 to display My Text. I want to do this for every cell down to about A250.
The following are on a sheet:
A1 = 5700
B1 = 235
C1 = 17:14
D1 = 5922
$E$1 = 09:01
$F$1= 3
$E$1 and $F$1 are (the only) absolutes/constants.
A2 contains the following:
=IF(A1>D1,B1,IF(A1+B1<D1,"d",IF(AND(C1<$E$1,B1<$F$1),"",B1))))
This translates as:
=IF(5700>5922,235,IF(5700+235<5922,"d",IF(AND(7:14<09:01,235<3),"",235))))
The result is a variable/number (235), "d" or a blank cell ("").
This formula is in a column and works fine where there are numbers in corresponding cells. The problem arises with corresponding cells which appear blank (show no values) but contain references to other cells: they result in a "d" when nothing should be displayed.
So while a corresponding blank cell is correct if it shows no values, it gives me this problem - I don't want "d" or anything.
For example if I were to take the data in cells d3($358), d4($321), d5($130), d6($82) and skip a cell to now make the same data into cells d3, d5, d7, d9. Next, the data in cells f3, f4, f5, f6 would be merge into the blank cells of d4, d6, d8, d10.
The final result would look like column B. I have over two years of sales data in two separate columns that I need to merged into one column. Is there easier way without a simple cut and paste one cell at a time as this would take an enormous amount of time to complete? I’m not that good with VBA codes so a formula works good, but if VBA is the way to go then tell how to enter it on my worksheet.
I need to check a range of cells (B4:B35) and see if any of the contents are less than a specified cell (M1) and then show a message, (the message part I can do). I have tried using For Each but I then get the message for every cell that is below the specified cell (which in theory could be all of them). I have also tried using an If Any statement but didnt work.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a column of dates in column E1:E100.
E1 = 25/06/2012
E2 = 02/07/2012
E3 = 09/07/2012
etc.
In column F1:F100 I will insert "Y" in the one of the blank cells next to one of the date cells in column E1:E100.
In cell B1 I want to reference where the cell in column F is "Y" then use respective date in column E.
e.g.
If i have "Y" in cell F1 then in B1 I want to show E1 (25/06/2012).
If i have "Y" in cell F2 then in B1 I want to show E2 (02/07/2012).
If i have "Y" in cell F3 then in B1 I want to show E3 (09/07/2012).
etc.
Looking forward VBA coding for:
If input is entered into column C (range C2:C100), then row cells for columns D, E ,F, H or I must NOT be blank upon save.
Could be that one or more of these row cells are left blank by mistake.
An error msg pops up upon attempting to save, stops the save and colors each cell yellow that needs info entered into.

What is the simplest way to display a "Please Wait.." message during the execution of a macro.
Tried the WshShell.Popup but did not work.
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 need to refer the LAST ROW OF COLUMN "D" to appear in the message box for the below code along with " Receipt number" which is in Sheet2.
Sub saveit()
With Sheets(2)
r = .Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row + 1
InvN = Cells(15, 4).Text
If Range("c18") = "" Or Range("c20") = "" Or Range("c20") = "" Or Range("c24") = "" Then
MsgBox "Please fill all required fields", vbCritical, " Missing data"
Exit Sub
End If...............................
Is it possible to display a dialog box or msgbox that doesnt have an OK button ?
i.e I want a message that comes up on the screen that says "Links Updating...Please Wait" which then automatically changes to "Links Sucessfully Updated" on completion...I dont want the macro to be interrupted by the msgbox/dialog....
I have a spreadsheet where I have input all of my technicians service calls and installations.
In Column C Row 5 and up to the max I assume because I'm not sure how many rows I would use in a year, I have an estimated completion date.
In Column D and the same Rows as above I will input the Actual Completion date.
What I want is if the current date is past the estimated completion date (Column C) and there is no date entered in the Actual Completion date (Column D) I would like a MsgBox to pop up saying "Please enter a new completion date on row _"
"_" would be which ever row the estimated completion date has expired without an actual completion date being entered.
I am close to finishing making up an Excel tool that takes data input from the user, does some analysis, accepts further input then prepares a report. My coding skills are not what you would call high level, so my code could probably be more efficient, but it works (well, except for this issue).
The tool opens a main multipage userform for data entry, then allows the user to view the data in the spreadsheet tables with the ability to call separate userforms to modify, delete or add records. The user then calls another userform to do some calculations and enter the appropriate results from a separate piece of software, then presses a button to prepare a report. All userforms are called from buttons in a separate userform (I'm not proficient enough and haven't had enough time to create a new ribbon in excel). At various times, messageboxes are used to convey information or prompt the user to do something - these are all simple ones with either only OK button, or OK and cancel buttons.
My problem is that when userforms are called, they sometimes appear but are totally blank (white) - see image.
blank_form.jpg
Clicking anywhere on the screen or pressing any key will bring them up properly and they seem to function normally thereafter.
In addition, the messageboxes sometimes do not appear - pressing any key will make them do so. Other than this they function normally.
The frustrating thing is that these problems occur inconsistently. I can add or change some code and it stops happening, then after testing (entering data and using the tool) starts happening again. Sometimes it just stops happening with no apparent reason, but starts again later after fixing some code or just entering some data. Not all userforms are affected at any one time and not all messageboxes have the problem at any one time.
The problem seems to occur in those subroutines where I access or manipulate data from other sheets before showing the userform or message box (but in most instances, I need to do this manipulation in order to present the correct information in the userform).
Some thought processes I have had, and unsuccessfully tried to fix the problem with (some coming from various web forums):
I thought I may have done "Application.ScreenUpdating = False" without resetting it to true, so I commented out all the "Application.ScreenUpdating = False" statements - problem stopped for a bit then started again.
Some of the userforms were modal, and even though they were not showing were still loaded so thought that this may be impacting on other userforms/message boxes, so changed all userforms to non modal - still had the problem when I opened the tool again.
Tried using "RePaint" and "DoEvents" at various points in the code after opening a userform or message box - no change.
I have tried exporting a form and its code, removing from the tool, then re-importing it. No success.
Tried the tool on another computer and the same problem occurred.
How to show via a message box the difference between rows 2 and 3 on a worksheet (row 1 is headers).
In the message box per the attached workbook, i should only see something like the following....
Drawing Rev was A is now B
Planner was Joe is now Fred
The attached example is abbreviated, the actual data will span multiple columns (approx. 30 - 40)
I have a userform with a combobox (cmbSearch) , a textbox (textbox1) and a listbox (listbox1)....and a commandbutton (cmbFind). This userform is used for searching records in my worksheet....where user selects a "Search By" category from the combobox and then enters relevent text search criteria in the textbox....and all the search results are shown in the listbox. This part works fine untill someone tries to search a "non-existent" record. e.g. a customer name thats not in the database and it gives an error. I would incorporate in my code to have a Message box pop up on these type of searches saying "textbox1.value Not Found!" insetad of error message.
Private Sub cmbFind_Click()
Set c = Range("a65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
'write userform entries to database
Dim DataSH As Worksheet
Set DataSH = Sheets("ComplaintData")
With DataSH
