I'm trying to write a bit of to take a text string collected from an inputbox, and paste it into a specific cell.
Should be easy but where my text string from the inputbox is "XYZ", when it enters it into the required cell it enters it as " ="XYZ" ".
Attempt at code is below -
Code:
Sub EmailEdit()
Dim Response As String
Response = Application.InputBox("Input administrator email address", , , , , , , 2)
'Check to see if Cancel was pressed.
If Response = "" Then

I want to be able to specify inside the message the word that is in cell F6. So it would say "You Must Give A Reason For The Amount Of Mgr Voids For Shawn"... shawn being the name in cell F6.
If Range("F9").Value > 50 Then
MyInput = Application.InputBox("You Must Give A Reason For The Amount Of Mgr Voids For This Employee")
If MyInput = "" Then End
If MyInput = False Then End
ActiveSheet. Unprotect ("13792468")
ActiveSheet.Range("F9").AddComment
Range("F9").Comment.Visible = False
Range("F9").Comment.Text Text:="" & Chr(10) & (MyInput) & Chr(10) & ""
ActiveSheet.Protect ("13792468")
End If

I have the following code that allows a user to type in an email address into an inputbox, and email a spreadsheet to the recipient in the input box. However, as 99% of the time this is going to be the same email address every time, can I populate the inputbox automatically with a given email address? for eg email@email.com
vaRecipients = Application.InputBox("Please enter recipient's email address. Please ensure Lotus Notes is open before sending.", "Email Literature Request")

I need a nudge in the right direction with how to amend the below code so that it :
1: cycles though all cells in a workbook, and sees whether the text reference of the cell contains a picture filename (i.e. searches for .png or .jpg in the cell contents)
3: if (1) is correct, it retrieves the picture from "C:/Users/jeff/Documents/Standards/" and pastes it as a cell comment background in the cell to the right (and overwrites any comment backgrounds that might already exist there)
The code below does something a bit different: it looks in a defined range, then adds a comment with a background picture retrieved based on the text in the cell to the left.
I'm sure this is a pretty basic change, but my VBA skills aren't up to it...I've only just started reading though Walkenbach's Power Programming! I'm using Excel 2007
Sub InsertComment()
'www.contextures.comxlcomments03.html
Dim rngList As Range
Dim c As Range
Dim cmt As Comment
Dim strPic As String
On Error Resume Next
Set rngList = Range("A1:A5")
strPic = "C:/Users/jeff/Documents/Standards/"
On Error Resume Next
For Each c In rngList
With c.Offset(0, 1)...................

I am trying to setup a variable from a dropdown selection box. Basically, If "Completed" is selected in the box, current date is set in the corresponding field.
The formula I have tried is:
=IF(F5="Completed",G5="",G5=NOW())
I have a variable string setup opposite of what I am going for that works:
=IF(AND(D5<>"Assigned",D5<>""),IF(E5="",NOW(),E5),"")
So if anything is showing other than assigned the date is input. But have not been able to reverse this for the desired output.

I'm using a userform to create a new sheet. The form already creates the sheet and names it what was typed into the userform. Now I want it to place that variable in a cell along with a string. the following code will place the variable from the form (tbname) into cell b5.

I'd like to adapt my macro so that it would insert a blank row after it detects the the first 16 characters of text as "'Closing Balance"; or it could even detect "'Closing" as the first 8 characters if it would be simpler
The Data Begins in Row 5 of Column A
My Current Macro is as below which I have adapted from another one I used
It is not working since it is detecting for the exact text "'Closing Balance" whereas the data registry would write "'Closing Balance as at 31/10/2009" , of which the "as at dd/mm/yyyy" portion would change every time a report is exported, but the first part "'Closing Balance" or even just the word "'Closing" will always be the same.

Sub AddRows()
Dim r As Long
For r = Cells(Rows.Count, 6).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
If Cells(r, 6) <> Cells(r - 1, 6) Then Rows(r).Insert Shift:=xlDown
Next r
End Sub
but find it somewhat unflexible. I don't always use the same column reference to determine where to add the rows. I was hoping someone would be able to integrate the inputbox usage that is in this delete rows code I got here
'Get the relative column number where the criteria should be found
lCol = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Type in the relative number of the column where " _
& "the criteria can be found.", Title:="CONDITIONAL ROW DELETION COLUMN NUMBER", Type:=1)
I am wanting to run an insert row macro and it prompt me asking what column I want to reference. Whenever there is a change in that column, insert a row.

I wanted a macro to insert (the number of rows from Input box) below the active cell. Searching the forums, I found the following code.
Sub InsertRows()
Dim Rng
Rng = InputBox("Enter number of rows required.")
Range(ActiveCell.Offset(1 0), ActiveCell.Offset(Rng, 0)).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Insert
End Sub
If I enter a number it works fine, but if you click on the cancel button or the X to close the Input box, I get a Run-time error (13: Type mismatch). If you enter zero, it inserts 2 rows above the active cell.
I tried to modify another macro, I found on the site, that inserts rows and copies the row above, but always get the Message Box "You didn't specify a range!"
Sub InsertNumRows()
'
Dim Rng As Range
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
On Error Resume Next
Rng = InputBox("Enter number of rows required.")
On Error Goto 0
Application.DisplayAlerts = True.............................

I have the code below. That code call some InputBoxes in sequence, that be filled with correctly information like name, cell phone, date of purchase, etc. (sheet is in Portuguese)
But I want to give a function for 'Cancel' Button, because actually if we click on cancel Button, the macro skip to the next inputbox.
I want to click in Cancel Button, and Exit Sub, I used this Tip for example
[Code] ....
But if we do not fill the Text field, the Macro Exit Sub Too
Some fields are optional, so for this i search for a solution
Click in Cancel Button and Exit Sub

As per title, I am trying to compare a column of text cells which contain "Yes" or are empty and a columns of numbers. If they are "Yes" and "1" on the same row, I want to output an "OK" message.

I have a spreadsheet which has "Employee: [agent 1 name]" in column A and it may or may not have the word "Break" in the same column before it mentions "Employee: [agent 2 name]". The amount of data between agent 1 and agent 2 varies and am needing code which will insert a row above "Employee: [agent 2 name]" if "Break" is not found, and add the word "Break" in column A on the inserted row. I would need this to loop through the spreadsheet until all 100+ agents have been searched.
I'm also needing this done for the word "Meeting" and would insert a row 2 rows above the next agent.

I need to create a macro to do the following:
Search the activecell for a text string (a), and then either paste in text string (b) at the end of the cell if (a) is found, or text string (c) if (a) is not found.
For example, if the activecell has "AA/" in it, I want the cell to become "AA/01" (pasting in "01" at the end), and if the cell has just "AA" in it, I want it to still become "AA/01" (pasting "/01" at the end). The macro will be linked to a commandbutton.

I have a column of data with letters in each cell, no numerical, only alpha. Now, some of those cells contain the letters "adj sub" as part of the text string in each cell. "Adj sub" is always at the beginning of the text string. As an example, a cell will look like this - "adj sub mhm". I want to delete rows whose cell description does not contain "adj sub" as part of the text in the cell.

I have a sheet in which some of the cells have two strings separated by a linefeed. I have come up with a cumbersome formula which will let me check if either of the two strings is a member of a list stored on another sheet. However, it fails if there is only one string in the cell, presumably as there is no linefeed for the formula to find. How can I modify the formula to cope with this situation?
There are also on occasions, three strings in the cell, but I can't seem to access the middle string with the formula. Simplified spreadsheet attached to show the problem. This must be formula-based, as we have a no VBA policy. If you think there is better way of doing this, please let me know.

I have a macro that takes input from the user and replaces certain text on several worksheets. One of the inputs is a username in the format of firstname.lastname. I need to manipulate this input such that the dot is removed and the first twelve characters only are used, all in upper case. e.g. Michael.Jackson would become MICHAELJACKS
I know how to use cells.replace to replace the text but I don't know how to use a formula to manipulate the inputbox text before I do the replace.

I am trying to develope a "goto" page macro where the page value maybe 1,34,7A, 256C etc. I am not clear on how an inputbox value can be compared to a string variable or a numeric variable at the same time. This is what I have done, but when the texboxvalue is "7A" it doesn't work.

I'm trying to write a macro similar to the one found here: here:http://www.techonthenet.com/excel/macros/checkbox.php.
Rather then use a textbox, I would like the cell to display the date when text is inserted in the cell to the left.
ie. I insert text (the letter 'a') in cell E11, and the date appears in cell F11.
I would also like the macro to do this for a range of cells ie. for E11 to F21, then from G11 to H21, then from I11 to J21, all the way to column IV.

Below is the code I started:
[Code] ......
The range contains a list of names. I want the sub to start with the first name and sum the value(long) which are in 7 columns to the left of the text string. Once this procedure has been done for the first name, it should go back up to the second name and do the same and so on. Once done I will return the name (cell A1 in another sheet) and its respective sum (cell B1 in another sheet) so that I have the list of names with their respective sum.
Sum function using an offset of 7 columns to the left?

I was able to find the syntax to add a cell within a text string but I am having a formatting problem. The cells which I am adding were using formulas that left decimals. Although I turned off all of the decimals on the cell, the values when I used the cell within the text string included all of the decimals and in some cases 6 or more decimal places. Is there a way to keep the formatting of the cell?

I have a cell that is populated by clicking a button which pulls info from an external source over which I have no control. I need to confirm the selection made by the user contains one of four quarterly values: Mar, Jun, Sep or Dec. I have this but wanted to know if there is a better alternative or a way to shorten the code.
Code:
If InStr(1, UCase(celltxt), "MAR") Or InStr(1, UCase(celltxt), "JUN") _

I need to find a formula which will search a list of cells looking for a particular text string. If it doesn't find this text string it then needs to search for the next one. For instance if I had a list of product codes: ABCD1234, BCD1234, ABCD2345, CDE23456, BCD2345 I want the formula to look up and see if the cell contains the text ABCD and if so return ABCD as the value, if not I want it to go on and see if the cell contains BCD and return the value BCD, if not then go on and search the value CDE etc. It seems like an easy job to do manually but I have a list of over 3000 codes to do this.

I want a formula or function that will return a count value if a cell contains a string rather than returning a value if the cell equals a value. For example, =COUNTIF(A$1:A$19703,F1) returns a value to cells in column G if the value in column F equals any exactly matching value in A. I need a formula that works like the filter option "contains" so that if any cells in col A merely contain a string rather than exactly match or equal a string from column F I can get a count value returned.
