Input Box Instructions/restrictions For Filtering Data
Nov 12, 2007
Is there a way that I add instructions/restrictions to the push buttons on my form (basically they perform filter functions).
For instance, currently the only way to search the client or employee name is to enter the entire name. Is there a way to allow partial name searches?
Can I have a message appear that says "'Joe Shmo' can not be found".
Also I would like the input box not allow blank searches. If the input box is selected but then closed with no data entered, it filters for blanks which removes all data.
I have attached a sample of my form for you to look at.

I have a two sheet, in Sheet1 i have a data, and in sheet 2 i have a count of location wise data in it, which is from sheet1.. And beside it u will see a button "View Detail". When you click on that button it will pop up a userform which have listbox and 2 button.. Now in listbox i get a filtered value of column C of sheet1 (For eg. Mumbai, Pune, Chennai).. When i click on the value (Mumbai) in Listbox and then click on View Location Details. It should give me a details of mumbai based candidate, like name, pod no, location in the range of (H5:J100) of sheet2..
I wrote the code for it but its not giving me the correct data..

creating a template for people. In the template, I want to create cells which instruct the user on what need to be filled in that cell.
For eg. go to [URL] In the box, it says 'Enter word or phrase'. When you click to enter a word, this line vanishes. I want to create a similar thing in Excel.
In Excel, for eg, in a cell it should say 'Enter Name' and when the user enter his name, this instruction should vanish. Also, this instruction should be in GREY and when they user enters his name it should be BOLD BLUE.

I'm working on a spreadhseet which has several macros that can take up to 5 minutes to run. When the macro(s) complete, I pop up a userform to provide instructions and collect some additional data from the user.
The "problem" is that when the user moves to another application to do other work, the user form remains hidden behind the active app. I've added some text to the status bar to let the users know the processing is done, but they would like something more obvious - so, is there any way I can force focus back to Excel?

how do i protect a cell from being changed? I don't want to protect the whole worksheet, just a few cells within a worksheet? I have tried the Allow Range Users function, but cannot get it to work? Kind regards, Michele

I have added the function and it works great .
Until lately users wanted to add comment as long as a paragraph , and it did not work any more . Is it a length restrictions , and how its possible to add longer comment .
I have tried text as length below @ 143 char (it did not work)
One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Evelen Twelve Thirteen Fourteen Fifteen Sixteen Seventeen Eighteen Nineteen Twenty TwentyOne
I get the results printed until Sixteen. @ 97 Character.

I've got an question about using excel macros to search for information in a database with certain restriction. In my attachment you can see an example of the database I use.
Example.xls
I've got a database with certain packages, the length and the width of these packages is known.
I've also got a database with certain products, the length and the width of these products is also known.
I want to use a macro which allows me to see which packages are useable for a certain product. A package is useable if the length/width is less then 10 bigger then the product. So in the example if the width is between 10~20 and the length between 40~50.
Originally I thought I could use a macro with advanced filter and having restrictions width >10 <20 and length >40 <50. But I can't fit this in as macro because I already get the width and length from the product from another database and macro so it can't say >40 only 40.

I'd like to have a cell contain instructions that disappear when text is entered into the cell, much like the "help" box on the upper right of the Excel window has a label that says "Please type question here", which disappears when you actually type in a question.

I have multiple tabs and each tab has an invoice. In the summary tab, I want to grab certain cells ie. Invoice #, Number of items, and total invoice amount.
The tricky part is, although the format for each invoice is the same, the product list for some invoices may be longer in some invoices (which will affect the total amount - aka total amount may be in cell F40 instead of F10).
Since I get these invoices on a regular basis, I would really like to create a macro where it will just find the items I need and paste it in the summary. I have no problems making this file work if the items are all in the same cell and format for each tab.

First: I am using following loop code to repeat until the last row with data in column B has been reached. I keep getting a compile error and can't figure out to to fix it. The compile error occurs on the ".cell" and ".range" portion of the code and has indicated an invalid or unqualified reference.
Second: Once I have the loop working, I need to reference different cells each time through the loop. The first time through the loop I need to reference cells B2 and C2....the second time cells B3 and C3.....and then B4 and C4....and so on. I am increasing the value of i each time but when I ran the code, I was not getting any results.

I'm working on MS Excel 2010 and trying to have a macro duplicating a sheet(and it's associated macro "Update") in another workbook.
I manage to do almost everything except to import the required module "Update" from a precise and static folder ("Ressource" located in the same folder as all the workbooks) into my active workbook, which is surely possible.
Moreover if you know a way to check if a module already exists and in that case overwrite it, I'd be even more grateful. Presently I just skip the error if it exists.
Here is my actual code:
Code:
On Error GoTo ErrImport
ErrImport:
If Err.Number = 1004 Then
MsgBox ("Already there")
[Code].....

How to use an Excel worksheet I have, so I decided to make a button with a macro, which when clicked a kind of message box pops up and you can read the tutorial. When you are done you just press ok and the pop up window closes.
I know about vba I just have to use msgbox, keep on adding lines with the text and that's it! But after many attempts I found out that it ain't that easy.
[Code] ......
So I made something like this:
[Code] ....
but at a point I got this error: "Too many lines continuations".
I wanna make something that looks a bit like this: p69pxC8.jpg
But way simpler, with my text, a scroll bar to roll up and down to read and an ok button at the end. I don't need special text with hyperlinks or anything at all, plain text does the job.
It just now crossed my mind, would it be viable to also add a "Print" button next to the "Ok" button in the pop up windows with the tutorial, so when the "Print" button is clicked, the tutorial is printed?

I use excel and would like to know how to copy a large volume of address data but at the same time filtering out irrelevant data placed under each other in a row, in this case, air compressors air conditioning web address etc ( see below for example). I need the first 5 lines only. The rows of unwanted data are irregular i.e some have 10 lines, others 5 , and others 2 or one line which makes using a formula difficult as there is no consistency. The data eventually need to be placed horizontally in columns to be compared to other address lists. To make matters worse, the text data has been merged and wrapped.

is there any way to NOT Displaying Items with No Data when filtering data in my pivot table?
For instance, I have 2 report filters: Category and Subcategory, when I select a category in the first filter I want to see only the options of subcategories with data in the second filter, I mean display only the subcategories of the Category previously filter.
Same scenario I have with a report with Directors and Organizations, when I filter one Director it would be nice to see only the organizations of this director and not all options on the data.

How to highlight, filter, or otherwise in someway mark all records on a spreadsheet that do not appear on another spreadsheet?
On Worksheet1, I have columns of data for First, Middle, Last, Clock Number, Address 1, Address 2, City, State, Zip Code and Employment Status. On Worksheets 1 and 2, the data and columns are 100% identical, except Worksheet1 has names I want excluded from a database import process I'll be running on the 2nd worksheet.
Is there an easy way or a quick VBA script that would allow me to highlight or filter out of Worksheet1 any rows that are not in 2?

The sheet is pretty simple - I am trying to track the division of a personal estate.
First page has columns for item number, then item, drop down menus for location in house, value and "picked by". So 5 total.
Second page is a "summary of division" listing number of items, median cost of items and complete value. Below is a breakdown of the total value of items that each individual selected.
While the majority of items have yet to to priced - the price range is there - so the format (whatever is it) should work.

I have a table with numbers in a column and various other data. I use this data to track over 30 and want to filter everything thats over 60. Currently I use compound COUNTIF to check 2 criteria using :
=COUNTIF('1SBCT'!F:F,"No*")+COUNTIF('1SBCT'!H2:H3,"")
But would like to an additional criteria in that it will count everything over 60 after with counts the 2 conditions above.
Example: counts how many have a No* or blanks and once those are sorted checks for over 60.

I had column A and
a1 = 1/2/1990
a2= 2/5/2000
a3 =4/3/1999
a4 = #N/A(From vlookups)
a5 = 6/4/2013 and
a4 = #N/A(From vlookups)
How would i filter out just the #n/a's
Something like:
If this workbook.sheets("sheet1").cells(t,1) = #n/a then
run code
Not sure because it's a error not actually #n/a right?

I have two Excel tables.
Table 1 has Column A, with 500 unique names/codes listed.
Table 2 has Column A with the 500 names, plus 500 more mixed in (all unique). Table 2 also has columns B-G, with values corresponding to each of names in Column A.
Basically, what I'd like to do is filter out from Table 2 the 500 names (and their corresponding info in columns B-G) not listed in Table 1.
I've tried to look around, but most answers seem to be in reference to situations in which Column A has numerical values rather names.

I've created two large historical tables on separate sheets. The master sheet (Bins) contains the following columns:
Year - Side - Commodity - Variety - Block and then each consecutive column is a day of the year, starting at 4/26 and going through 10/31 (F - GL). Column GM is a sum of all days in each row.
For example, GM15 totals F15:GL15. The second sheet (Percentages) is identical to the first in size and format, however, it calculates daily percentages of totals from the first sheet. For example, cell BA15 contains the formula
