When I run this code it does the exact opposite of what I want it do (if not contained in that character list then delete). So basically if it not in the character list then delete, but it if is in the character list it deletes....

I´m trying to find a way to get a formula which can look if there is a character (let´s say it is "-") in a formula which is, by the way, variable (let´s say each cell has different values like: =899+59-6 and so it goes and goes), and brings me a true or false value.
Specifically it is like this:
I have formulas to be evaluated like the following:
=899+59-6
I need a formula which can look into the formula and if it finds the character "-" or a "+", brings me a true or false message.
I'm trying to set my code to force the user to enter in 8 characters for an employee ID within a text box. Currently when I attempt to enter in an employee ID, my message box alert appears after the first digit. So instead of validating the user has entered in 8 characters for the employee ID, the msgbox alert appears as soon as the user enters in the first number. I cannot figure out what I am missing within my code.
Code:
Private Sub txtPERNR_Change()
If Len(Me.txtPERNR.Text) 8 Then
Me.txtPERNR.SetFocus
MsgBox ("PERNR number must be 8 characters in length")
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
I honestly thought this validation would be easy, but I've tried it a couple of different ways and nothing is working.
I'm looking for a formula that can sum the first character of a list of values together, based on the cagegory.
Example below:
Column A = The category (or name of a person)
Column B = The status, I'm interested in the first character of the status (which is always a number)
Column C = The sum of the status based on the first character of the status for that specific person

I want to do this without adding another column (i.e. I can get the result adding a column with formula "=value(left(B2,1))", but I don't want to add the extra column)
I'd also prefer to avoid doing this with a macro, as this part of the formula is only a smaller part in a larger formula.
I tried to look for an entry in this forum, but couldn't find one that matches what I need.
I know the COMBIN function, i want to list all combinations from a given set of cells (numbers), each item of the combination - in separate cell. Example:

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've created a user form that has a list box populated with a fairly standardized format - a product ID or model number followed by a dash ( - ) then followed by a description. Based on the users selection of an item in the listbox, certain rows will be copied over from another tab in the excel file.
An error occurs when a Model Number list box item is selected but not when a product ID is selected.
The difference between the two are AlphaNumeric vs only numeric.

I'm creating an excel spreadsheet that will be sent out to a few users to enter data into. In this spreadsheet, multiple columns contain drop down lists created using the Data Validation tool. The lists are referencing named ranges on a second worksheet.
In these drop down lists are terms that consists of one or two words. What I'm trying to do is when a user goes to select an option from the drop down list, I want the matching one letter code to be entered into the cell instead. For example,
Column AK has drop down list with following options:
Good
Moderate
Poor
When a user selects one of the options, I want one the following respective letter to appear instead......
This is my data validation formula:
=INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(H104,cat_opt_Table,3,FALSE))
Some of the lists will have up to 200 lines in them and I'd like to find a way to simply to jump to the first letter entered in the data validation cell.
Does the list need to be alphabetized?
Could it be something that is entered into the data validation box? This spreadsheet has data validation in 35 columns.
I have on occaision seen -- within a formula. e.g =SUMPRODUCT(--(PMonth=$A3),--(PName=$A$1),PLTime). Could someone explain the relavance/effect or use of this as it seems outside of standard operators.

Excel has operators for Less than, Greater than, Equal to, etc., etc. Does anyone know if there is a Between operator? (Maybe an undocumented or little-known feature like DATEDIF)?
There is a Between Feature in the Conditional Formatting Dialog Box - it would sure be nice to be able to use it in a non-formatting formula, or maybe you could explain how you pros achieve a "between" result without resorting to VBA.
revised this code to reflect the "not equal to". I want the user to only enter "In" or "Out." Therefore, If cells b19:B26 does not have either word, then the message box will prompt the user to enter the correct word again. I think my code needs to be revised into some kind of loop.

Something happened my excel sheet and my drop down lists are no longer working the way they used to. In the simplest terms I had two columns of data.
Column 1 "names" and column 2 is "years".
The top cell of each column had the title (i.e. name & year). These top cells used to have drop down lists with the little arrow. If I clicked on the cell Named "year" it would give me a drop down list of years. And if I clicked on a year in this list it would change the whole sheet to only display the data associated with the selected year.
I'm using the below code to get only those rows which contains 'Deploy' or 'Pre-prod' but it gives less rows than its supposed to do.

I've tried to replace AND (highlighted in red) with "," (comma) but I still get the same result - it still returns a value evaluating either one of two conditions but not BOTH:
Code:
sChar = Split(Waypoint, ",")
For j = LBound(sChar) To UBound(sChar) Step 3
Lat = sChar(j)
Lon = sChar(j + 1)
Elev = Val(sChar(j + 2))

Can you use a variable as an operator? For example:
Dim op
op = ">"
If Var1 op Var2 Then MsgBox "It Works!"
I have parameters stored in a database and each parameter includes an operator. When I compare a given value to the parameter, I was hoping to do that dynamically by extracting the operator from the parameter and using that in the comparison.
Otherwise, the only way I can see to do it is create a Function with a Select Case list for all the operators to check the parameter, do the comparison, then return the value to the Function.
I have a log that I have data validations on.
Column C validates on a list called "Division"
Column D is supposed to validate based on the selection in Column C, and give the list based on Column C.
I had it working awhile ago, then I went and changed the lists. Now, the lists are not validating appropriately (I'm not getting the expected drop down in D based on the selected in C) and I don't know why its not working anymore.
I receive an extract from our Financial System monthly which list all the balances for each date of the month (both workings day and week-end(Sat. and Sun.)).

I can't work out why my indirect drop down list isn't working. I have named ranges and it works for the first couple but not for the rest.
Tab called 'Work record' is where the drop down lists are. 'Work Type' drop down works fine. Description only works when I select 'Doors' under 'Work type'.
I want a list of working dates for the year in excel. Wanted to have it so that there was some flexibility in the table too, but cannot get it to work 100%.
For some reason in the below example, in December, 26th shows up (despite being in the list of holidays) and the 29th (Sunday) shows up too.

I have made a list box and can see the data in it and make multiple choices. What I need to know how to do is put a small button and make the list box appear and make the selected choices, then hide the list box but the button visiable. I would to have check boxes and a scroll bar in the list box by the names but i am stumped. If you could show the code that will make this work that will be great!!! lets say cell B3 to B6 shows cat, dog, mouse, bird. I would check the box and choose cat and bird and have only these 2 show up in the cell B2 separated by a comma. So each line for about 100 lines down will need to have the same choices made but with equipment names, people ect. or is there something better that will work. I run Excel 2003 and windows xp.
