In Userform1 I have several textbox and one commandbutton1. If I mouseclick on a textbox and click commandbutton1 the letters YES is entered in the texbox. To prevent double click entry into the same textbox I set the maximum length property at 3. However, setting the maximum length to 3 does not work. Subsequent commandbutton1 clicks will result in an infinite YES entries.
Is the maximum length property disabled when commandbutton entries are applied?
I am working in Office 2000, and have 3 Textboxes, I need to copy text from Textbox1 and Textbox2 to Textbox3, and the code below works but only when the character length is limited. I need to be able to show much more text. Suggestions. I am trying some of the code
Option Explicit Sub Text_Copy() Dim ch1 As Characters Dim ch2 As Characters Dim ch3 As Characters
With Sheets("Aim Up Description") Set ch1 = .Shapes("TextBox1").TextFrame.Characters Set ch2 = .Shapes("TextBox2").TextFrame.Characters End With With Sheets("Description Summary") Set ch3 = .Shapes("TextBox3").TextFrame.Characters End With ch3.Text = ch1.Text & " " & ch2.Text End Sub
I have found code on other posts that I have tried (like, Range("A16").Value = Val("TextBox1"),
I need to extend the list until ZAO. However, I think the Excel limit is only until ZAC.
I tried to create a new "list" that would contain those ZA,ZB,ZC. (the list would be named ListofZ) and replace the lengthy formula above by the following:
I have a spreadsheet with 2 sheets. The first just links to another file and pulls in the contents of a particular sheet, cell for cell. The second sheet is a formatted report that I'm creating to put that data into a different format for presenting to others. I'm using the Index and Match function along with range names. All is fine except where the string that should be returned is very long. When that happens, I get "######" all the way across the cell. It doesn't matter how wide I make the column or how tall I make the row, the "#s" do not go away. Is there a limit on the number of characters the Index function can return?
I think it's an easy one but for the life of me I can't get around it. ccasionally while re-typing data in fields with the intention of saving-as a new file, an error message appears saying "no more than 20 characters" This happens even when the number of characters is LESS than 20! I have tried clearing cell contents, copying & pasting, re-setting conditions/parameters for columns/rows etc., and nothing seems to work with any consistency. Instead of looking for a work-around solution I'd like to find the actual corrective action.
Can I limit the text length in a cell that contains a formula? You may say "Limit the text length in the input cell". That can't be done because the formula in the resultant cell takes text from two other cells in addition to the input cell. I need to limit the overall text length to, let say, 50 characters.
I'm adding some necessary code to the beginning and end of some cell contents in Format | Cells | Custom and I seem to be coming up against a character limit.
I'm using the phrase "!!<"@">!!" to add the code, but with some cell contents the result is ########### (but much longer), and I'm having to remove some of the text to make it work. The limit seems to be around 255 characters.
I'm trying to use the countif function to search a cell containing, say, 1000 alphanumeric characters.
For example, cell A1 contains the text...
"There needs to be an easier way to build worksheet formulas for 64 levels of nesting and 255 arguments to be meaningful. Perhaps a "Formula Composer" dialog box or something that allows you to build up a complex formula in parts and allows you to evaluate the partial formulas. When you're done, and the formula is displayed in the sheet, all of the parentheses would be automatically put in the correct places."
I am using the code below to rename worksheet tabs based on the value in cell B3 on each worksheet. I am getting a run time error attributed to the value in cell B3 exceeding 31 characters. This is the maximum number of characters a worksheet tab can support. some additional code to rename the worksheet tabs and trim the name when 31 character limit is reached? note I need to keep the value in cell B3 as it is but trim the worksheet tab name only.
Code: For I = 1 To Sheets.Count If Worksheets(I).Range("B3").Value "" Then Sheets(I).Name = Worksheets(I).Range("B3").Value Else: Sheets(I).Name = "Default (" & I & ")" End If Next
I'm trying to have the macro limit the cell entry to 5 characters beginning with a "P" and the remaining 4 character being numeric. The problem I'm having is that it's not recognizing the requirement for the beginning "P" but only identifies if the length is less than 5 characters. Any idea how I can resolve this?
For PN2 = 43 To 72 If Not IsEmpty(Cells(PN2, 1)) And Left(Cells(PN2, 1), 1) "P" And Len (Cells(PN2, 1)) 5 Then MsgBox ("The employee number must be 5 characters long begining with P (e.g. P0001), please change accordingly!") Range(Cells(PN2, 1), Cells(PN2 + 2, 1)).ClearContents Cells(PN2, 1).Select End If Next
We are moving to a new accounting system and we need to import the creditors' master data but there are field length limitations in the new system. I have the full details off our current system and I would like to highlight cells that fall outside of the character length.
I am sure this isn't just a setting that can be enable in excel. I was wondering if there is a code that will allow the display of the number of characters in a cell when typing in it.
I know there is a len() function but I don't know how to use it so it displays my char length on the go.
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.
Is there a fomula that can add trailing spaces. For example....I need a certain feild to be 11 Characters in length. So lets say in Column A, I have a bunch of different words:
House Bird Up Down Yes No
I would like to put a formula in column B that takes my original text and adds blank spaces to the end of it until it's 11 Characters. So "House" in Column A would be "House " in column B.
I have huge columns of data that can only be 30 characters long. I want to use a formula to split the column into two. The original column will have a character limit of 30, and should not cut words in half. If the Length will be more than 30 while including the entire last word of the cell, that word should be the first displayed in adjacent cell in the 2nd column.
The 2nd column can be any length.
I usually use a Text to Columns method, but dont know how to make it not cut off the words.
Is there a way to stop getting the error of a string of poind signd (which look like ################) whenever I'm trying to copy and paste information from another worksheet, or trying to link one sheet to another?
I've already tried resizing the rows and columns to their respective maximums but it doesn't seem to work.
I have a text box that is set to "=B1". B1 is a cell from an Access table import with memo format. The text memo is long, probably on average between 1000-2000 characters. I have set up the text box to automatically resize for the text, but the text stops at what I assume is 255 characters, even though cell B1 displays the entire memo.
How can I set it up so that this text box (or any other similar shape) displays the text and retains its resize/wrap property?
I have the following code that makes the user enter a number between 0 and 40 for a textbox. However, I want the user to be able to leave the box blank as well, and not be forced to enter a 0 if there were no hours.
If TextBox1.Value > 40 Then MsgBox ("Week 1 Regular hours must be between 0 and 40.") TextBox1.SelStart = 0 TextBox1.SelLength = Len(TextBox1.Text) TextBox1.SetFocus ' Multiple boxes with same code to finish If statement
I want to automatically prevent users from entering more than two digits into a textbox.
i dont want to show a message box or anything like that. I want it to be physically imposible for them to enter more than two digits i.e. when they enter two digits, pressing any other keys on the keyboard should have no effect on the contents of the textbox.
I need a userform textbox event that fires after I tab or click out of the textbox. Going by the list of options:Beforedragover, BeforeDroporPaste, Change, DblClick, DropButtonClick, Error, Keydown, Keypress, keyup, mousedown, mousemove, mouseup.
I can't figure out which one will do what I want. The change event happens instantaneously which doesn't work. I need to fire off the event when my focus leaves the textbox.
When I enter some text into a TextBox, the first character is fine, but after the second character has been entered, the font seems to develop an underline. I've created a Word document with screenprints but have been unable to make it small enough to upload here, despite trying for the past couple of hours! You can therefore see the document here ... http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/view.php?id=508384&da=y
I have a text fields in a userform that I want to limit what my users can enter in there. The first I want to limit to numerical values only (0 through to 9) and the second can have any value apart from "/".
I know I can do this using the on exit routine however I don't know how to limit the characters like this.
