Users will either accept the numerical entry that is in any cell, or enter a different number or Zero.
I have a few users that have not found the Delete Button, therefore they are typing a Space and hitting Enter, for Zero (nothing).
This is causing alot of problems because there are formulas that work off of these cells, and can't because the "data type is different"
I recorded the below (and also tried the commented out part) but it is not doing what I wish.
The ActiveCell will give the MsgBox after I return to that cell (if I do), but I need the Msg to appear after I leave the cell instead.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = " " Then
'If Target.Cells < " " Then
MsgBox prompt:="Please use the DELETE button or put a ZERO in that cell"
End If
End Sub
I have a data entry worksheet where a user may use the space bar to delete a wrong entry instead of the delete key. How can I allow this without triggering an error message for a cell which is valid for blanks or a positive number including 2 decimals? The checkbox for "Ignore Blanks" does NOT ignore this is the cell is blanked with the space bar.
I am trying to assigned the values of two adjacent cell in a msgbox (columns AE and AF) as it is to far away for me to scroll and hiding the other columns will cause me to unhid it when I need to enter some information on it.
What I want to do, is when I double click activecell in column B, msgbox will pop and tell me the values nested in the same row under columns AE and AF (contract start date is : in column AE, contract end date : in column AF)
Code: Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean) MsgBox "Contract Start Date" & ActiveCell.Row.Offset(0, 30).Value & "Contract Start Date" & ActiveCell.Row.Offset(0, 31).Value
I am trying to pop open a messagebox if a cells interior color index = 3 in a named range.
Private Sub Workbook_Open() If Sheet1.Range(" Schedules").Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Then MsgBox "One or more Trainee requires more than TWO HOURS PER WEEK to forefill his log book requirements" End If End Sub
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 am trying to create a simple IF/THEN statement to display profit margin for an order form. I currently have the margin formula set at (1-H14/I14). How should I structure my IF/THEN, to where it displays nothing in the cells, that are empty?
I would like to present the user with an input box asking him to enter a numerical value greater than 0.
Then I would like the code starting with row 10 and consult the vaues in column O, and only display the rows that have number in it less than or equal to the number in the input box. I was hoping it would involve a filter.
I would also need a macro to display all of the rows again.
If this is too hard, how about copying the results to a new worksheet along with the labels in row 9?
I need a formula that will show the total number of times "text" is entered into a column and when sorted by year that would only show the total for that year. The COUNTIF formula i'm using only works for the total, not when sorted by year.
I have been working on different formulas to return the text string between the first and last space and have been unsuccessful. Is this possible?
I have tried several combos or Left and Right, I have been able to get the values after the first space, and the values before the last space, but not between the spaces.
String: Y60 ~C CULT NUCLEUS 3X2 SPRING WST BK XL
Desired results: D60 CULT NUCLEUS 3X2 SPRING WST BK
I have the following formula that works fine until someone uses the space bar to clear a cells contents
=COUNTA($D11:$AI11)
When the space bar is used to clear a cells contents the COUNTA statements includes the space in the count. How do I count the number of cells with content and exclude the space bar space in a cell?
I have an excel 2003 sheet that collects data from Infopath forms. The forms are to record students who have broken school rules, when, where, repercussions etc. One column shows their class and there is a separate column for each rule broken.
I want to create another sheet to show each class down the rows and the columns to show each school rule. Therefore, each cell would show the number of each particular rule broken for each particular class. I have tried to do countif and sumproduct (if on sheet 1, column B the class is KA and on sheet 1, column M, the rule is bullying = how many times this has occurred).
i have been trying to add msgbox to show that if textbox1 and textbox3 are empty than show "please enter i.d or lockern no but if textbox3 is true than run the code or textbox1 is true than run the code.
I am currently setting up a ID/Password function on my spreadsheet. On the main page is the login boxes and an Ok button. When the Ok button is pressed, I have a formula that checks the user ID and Password and if correct, it types correct. Otherwise it types incorrect. This is using;
In one of my spreadsheets users can see the active period on multiple worksheets All have cell references to the 1st worksheet (cell B5). I would like 2 things:
1. If users change one of the reference cells on the other worksheets I would like a msgbox to appear
2. After clicking the msgbox away I would like the "old" cell contents (the referenece) to be restored.
Hi, Please could someone help with the following code. I have 2 sheets 'sheet 1' and 'sheet 2'(hidden). Sheet 1 has a control button that takes you straight to sheet 2, however what I wish to achieve is that before sheet 2 is visible a message box appears if a condition is not met. Something like, if sheet 1 R29 is less than 5000 then msg box appears (I would need about 4 lines in the msg box), if ok'd then sheet 2 appears. If the condition is met i.e sheet 1 R29 = or is greater than 5000 then the msg box does not appear and takes the user to sheet 2.
Is it possible to modify and code not to have the OK button. I need to to be information process only. I have a long macro i need to user to be aware where in the macro run we are. I wanted to use this code... but i do not want to click the OK button i need it to just show that that step is completed etc...
I am trying to have a msgbox come up if there is a path found it will pop up a msgbox for a few seconds then go away. Im trying to avoid the user from having to select anything just simpley telling them the connection is there then go away on its on. The code below is what Im currently using.
Code: If Dir("H:") = "" Then MsgBox "Error: Drive, path or file not found" Else MsgBox "OK: Drive, path or file found" End If
I would like to add a MsgBox letting the user know how many days are left before the Trial Period is up.
Code: Private Sub Workbook_Open() Dim StartTime#, CurrentTime# '***************************************** 'SET YOUR OWN TRIAL PERIOD BELOW 'Integers (1, 2, 3,...etc) = number of days use '1/24 = 1Hr, 1/48 = 30Mins, 1/144 = 10Mins use
Const TrialPeriod# = 5 '< 5 days trial 'set your own obscure path and file-name
[Code] ..........
I was thinking of:
Code: MsgBox "You have X number of days until you Trial Period expires."
But, I don't know how to code the part in Red to register a Count Down from the first day opened to the next.
It may be opened more then once per day. I just nedd a message on day 2nd - 4th day.
If opened on the 5th day, the rest of the code executes, closing the Workbook.
I have several material takeoff sheets and one material SummarySheet in my workbook.
Each material takeoff sheet has a subtotal cell at the bottom of the sheet. The subtotals are added together and the total sum is displayed in a cell on the SummarySheet. At least that is how it is supposed to work. Excel or somebody else arbitrarily changed the cell reference in the SummarySheet formula to call up the cell one row above the subtotal cell on the material takeoff sheets. This little action resulted in a loss of $674,000 and may eventually result in my unemployment. Meanwhile I am sitting here putting out fires.
This is what I would like to do: Place a formula on the SummarySheet or add a Macro that will trigger a warning message box if the total on the SummarySheet is not equal to the sum of the subtotals on the material takeoff sheets. Also would like to have the message box animated or brightly colored.
If(PlateCostsTotals+AppurtenancesCostsTotals+StructuralCostsTotals+MiscellaneousCostsTotalsSummaryCostsTotal MsgBox “Hey, Don’t You Know How to Add”) or an alternate formula that works.
