Macro For Data Entry That Checks For Duplicate Record
Dec 31, 2013
I have a spreadsheet that uses a Form for Data entry. Each record has ID, Name, State, and about 20 more columns of information for each ID.
The data entry is working well.
What I need now is to add a check for a UNIQUE ID. If they are adding a new record I need my form to return a message if the ID they use is already in the database. So if they enter XXXXX and that is in the file already - they should get a message that XXXXX is already in the database and to please enter a new ID.
And once they fix XXXXX to XXXXY then the record is added.
I have created a userform with 3 text boxes. It also has three buttons - clear, Cancel and Generate record button.
User form takes entries in the three text boxes and on clicking the Generate Record button, the values of the three Text Boxes are inserted in Column A, B and C of sheet1. The columns keep on populating with new data on each submit in the row below the last record.
Now it is required to enter data only if the value entered in TextBox1 is new and has not been entered previously in column A. If textbox entry is already aviailable in column A, a message box of 'Record available' shoud be prompted and the text entry must not be allowed until the data entered in TextBox1 is not unique.
I am looking to create a macro that will create a new sheet when data is added on a summary sheet. Example.
1. Summary sheet called "Variations" contains columns that will contain the information needed for new sheet (Columns A to D)
2. When data is entered on "Variations" sheet: Column B, then macro automatically creates new sheet renamed to e.g. VO1 (Number used on "Variations" tab) and is a copy of "Master" tab.
3. Data entered in Column A to D on "Variations" tab is automatically entered onto new sheet created (e.g VO1). Shown is blue on attached file. Additional data is updated on "VO1" sheet and this then links back to "Variations" tab
I'm trying to run a piece of code which checks the length of a cell entry and if it is over 100 characters long it deletes the value. The code is as follows:
Sub Macro1() If Len(Cells(1, 1)) > 100 Then Cells(2, 1).ClearContents End If End Sub
The string which is causing the error seems to be 255 or more characters long. Any ideas how to tackle the "Overflow" Error?
Is there a macro to delete an entire row if a duplicate entry appears only in a certain column.
1. Look for the column header with the name "File Number" 2. Anytime the same number under the "File Number" column appears more than once in that column, keep the row that contains first occurrence of that number buy delete the entire row anytime that number is repeated in another row in that same column.
This is regardless of what is contained in the other columns. For example..let's say these cells contained this data...
In this case, I would want to keep rows 1, 2, and 3. But, I would want to delete rows 4 & 5 because the number "UTE00225" has already appeared first in B1. I'm using Excel 2003.
making a macro that will scan for duplicates, length & empty cells.
I have the sample file below that does conditional formatting but it doesnt help as much because I want to show the reason for the highlight's on a comment instead.
sample file : [url]
file that might help out: [url]
checks would be: column A - duplicates and/or length should not be over 100 characters column B - duplicates column F - should only contain 2 comma's(or 3 keywords) all columns - check if no entries are found(empty cells)
I have a userform with several textboxes and 2 comboboxes. The data that I need protected from duplication is based in the comboboxes. If I ignore the other fields and presume the following it may be easier to understand:
The comboboxes are populated by the data stored in sheet1 and when the userform is complete, the OK button populates all the data into sheet2
Combobox1 contains names eg, John, Julie, Bob etc Combobox2 contains colours eg, Red, Blue, Green etc
I want the userform to allow the data to be entered into sheet2 only if it is not an exact duplicate of the choices in BOTH of the comboboxes
For Example John Red Julie Red Bob Blue John Blue
These are all ok, however, to try and enter John Red again would bring up a message box indicating a duplicate entry and prevent the data from being entered.
Date Employee # Employee Last Name First Name Department Style Size

I'm trying to set up a conditional formatting rule that looks through the list of employee numbers for duplicates. If it finds a duplicate AND the duplicate record has a date that is within one year of the previous record for the same employee number, highlight that row.
In other words, every time a record contains an employee number (column B) that is the same as a prior record, and the date of the second record is within 1 year from the first, that should present a TRUE to the conditional formatting. Otherwise, result should be FALSE.
Either any conditional formatting rule, or even set this up in column H to provide the TRUEs and FALSEs, I should be good to go.
I have a spreadsheet to track events (servicing, repairs, fuelling, etc) for my car - dates in Col A, events in B, mileage in C, prices in D.
I want to return the mileage when the next service is due, based on the mileage of the last service. Using VLOOKUP set to FALSE returns the first service mileage; set to TRUE, it returns random values. The events in Col B repeat in a random order (e.g. fuel, fuel, service, fuel, repairs, fuel, fuel, service).
I am trying to have a macro send the data from sheet 2 to sheet 3, record the data then next time shift down a row and enter the new data below and below every time new data is entered.
I have recorded a macro, but I am stuck with the recording the data and then returning to a new row.
I have designed a project sheet that shows Project,tasts,start & end dates, with cells being highlighted via conditional formatting using the between format, What i would like is for the macro that i recorded to enter the data(which is c/f to a new row, At present when i run macro it reruns on the same row,the filldwn method dosn't work either, For design layout i have based it on microsoft project
Through a query I extract data from an oracle database. This database creates a record for every unique Article_Batch_Pallet_Faultnumber combination. Through a filter macro I create a new format on a different worksheet which creates a record for every uniqe Article_Batch_Pallet combination. I need a searchfunction to get the faultnumbers in the same row.
I need to take data from spreadsheet Control Master.xlsx then apply calculations from another one Calculations.xlsx and record results to the first spreadsheet.Data to be taken from Control Master.xls columns C, D, E. After calculations results (Calculations.xls columns Q, R, S) to be recorded back to Control Master.xls columns F, G, H.
I am trying to pick out certain bits of information from the below "example" set of data:
A 1
A 1
B 1
C 1
[Code] .......
My aim is to record the letters that are recorded against both numbers (note: in my data there are more than 2 sets of numbers). For the example above the solution would be:
A 1,2
B 1,2
...because these two letters appear against both 1 and 2.
There are some letters that are duplicated against the same number which is making it hard for me to work out. I don't care if the same letter appears against the same number, I just would like to know instances when a letter appears with a different number, and if possible what that number is.
I have 7 columns (May 1st to May 7th) and 10 rows.
Each column needs to contain the following entries T1, T2, T2, T2, C2, C2, C2, C2, C2. These data will be entered manually in no specific order.
I want to create a macro that checks if the entries are present. If one or more is not present I would like to have the missing entries be placed in the cells A10 to A20.
I am looking to find a way and synthesize code that will prompt the user for text data when he/she clicks a radio button, then place that text data in a "Notes" worksheet within the same workbook. Given that there are multiple radio buttons, with options of "OK" and "attention needed" (it is a checklist of maintenance items), I also need to find a way to have each note listed sequentially in the notes worksheet. My questions: Is this possible using macros? Can you steer me in the right direction? (change event, inputbox, then what?)
I have a form that information is entered in. At the end the user can then save the information in a spreadsheet by pressing a command button. The updating to the spreadsheet works, it is the part where the last entry is tested against the info on the form to prevent a duplicate entry that do not work.
I have tested that the program reads the info from the spreadsheet (see the commented lines).
I can attach the whole spreadsheet, but some of the entries on the form are linked to another spreadsheet that make it a bit cumbersome to attach two files.
VB: Private Sub cmdUpdate_Click() Dim lRow As Long Dim ws As Worksheet Set ws = Worksheets("TonnageInput")
I have a userform with a text box which asks for a Tag number which is then linked to a cell. Is it possible to show a warning dialogue box if a duplicate Tag number is entered?
how to set this up on a single cell also would like to see if code can be written for this?
I am working on a project and would like to see if there is a solution for it. i have a workbook that has data entry that is summarized at a master level but I need to automatically use a formula to update another sheet after clicking an udpate button. The data from the data entry sheet needs to be allocated to all the lines that has the same master item based on the formula. A test workbook is attached ...
I would like a loop that would run through the information in column A and if its duplicated delete the entire row… Also it needs to be able to handle 10 records to 10,000, it changes daily
I have a userform with 8 text boxes and users have to enter different numbers separated by commas like 1,5,6,15,28 and so on.
I want to put a validation that if a number is entered in any of the textboxes than the same shall not be allowed in any other textboxes. Even in the same text box, no duplicate number shall be allowed. ie if in a textbox 1,2,15 is entered , then in the same textbox also, user cannot enter 1 or 2 or 15 again.
I have a huge worksheet with 26 columns and 1200 rows. This worksheet is updated by 4 people everyday. Column C, H, N & R are updated daily by these 4 people so these are dynamic columns so to speak. I would like to have a VBA that informs that particular individual when he enters a duplicate data, maybe a popup saying duplicate entry.
i need to identify the first and last duplicat entrys and delete all rows in between. eg keep row 275 and 277 and delete row 276 all duplicates only in column C ..
I want to use a piece of VBA to copy values from cells A1, C1, E1, and G1 and paste them into the next blank cell in an existing range called "DCopy". I am trying to use the following code, but as I have never tried writing a looping macro, have no idea what I am doing:
I have a entry form in which i want to register customers. the first field is the customer number (which is unique(created by me) for every customer). This is TextBox 1 in the document. I would like to search for duplicates in worksheet 2, collumn A, when pressing "enter" to move from TextBox 1 to TextBox 2. A search for duplicates should start and a message should appear " duplicate found" if found, otherwise continue to TextBox 2 for further entry of information.
Please see my attached document for clarification.
I have multiple worksheets of computer equipment, each worksheet is a group/department. Column H is the serial number column and the entries have to be unique. I have managed to create the code below which does find duplicates across worksheets.
When error message pops up about which sheet the duplicate already exists on, the duplicate entry is deleted and the cell is blank but the error checks again and reports the blank existing on another worksheet and then it is stuck in a loop. How can I ignore the blank or null.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim I As Integer I = Sheets.Count If Not Intersect(Target, Range("H2:H200")) Is Nothing Then Do Until I = 0 If Application.IsError(Application.Match(Target, Sheets(I).Range("H2:H200"), 0)) Then Else MsgBox "That entry already exists in the " + Sheets(I).Name + " sheet" Target.ClearContents End If I = I - 1 Loop End If End Sub
