Message Box On Cell Selection
May 17, 2006How do I get a message box to pop up when a certain cell is selected?
View 2 RepliesHow do I get a message box to pop up when a certain cell is selected?
View 2 RepliesI am looking for VB Code / Formula which will does the following:
Before the Cell is selection; it will shows a message for guidance purpose; but the moment the same is selected; the Validation list which I prepared will appear.
For Eg: before the Cell is selected; it will show as"< select from drop-down list>"; but the moment cell is selcted; the normal validation list will appear.
I know that there is Input Message option in Validation List; but this appears only when the cell is selected. I am looking for message which will appear before the cell is selected.
I was just wondering if it was possible to get a collapsible menu/dialog box
for excel when a user clicks on the cell of interest. I don't want to use
the collapsible list function as I would rather the user be able to click on
the cell of interest and then have that cell produce maybe another
window/dialog box which will show the user what I have put in there - maybe a
chart or table or just a set of data - and perhaps allow them to cut and
paste the data as well? However, most importantly, I just want a
dialog/window box to appear rather than having to group and use the
collapsible list function. I've attached an image of what I have in mind.
I have a Configuator sheet and the way it works is I have 6 different descriptions (plug connector, socket connector, length, jacket type, color, gauge). So when you choose a Plug Connector only the socket connectors that go with that plug are available to choose using data validation. Then depending on on the plug and socket connector it gives you the lengths that are available and so on.
Then I have a button with a macro that matches the descriptions you have chosen and returns the following: part number, Description, case qty, Available Stock, and Price. My issue right now is Not all plug connectors share the same Socket connectors so when someone changes the Plug Connector and has a invalid Socket connector from a previous selection the value returns as #N/A.
So what I would like to do is when I run my "Find Cable" Macro it will match each selection and if one is invalid returns a message box telling you which field is invalid i.e. socket, length, jacket type, color, gauge.
I tried very hard to design a leave roster for user to mark their leave application. The criteria are as follows:
1. 4 applications per date
2. a region of worksheet (i.e. "A2 to H20) will be defined for users to "click" on the cells (within the defined region) to mark their application.
3. once a cell is clicked (i.e. marked), it cannot be altered.
4. each click will automatically increase the total by 1.
I got the following code to deal with the situation but user can still click on any cell outside the region (in fact I fail to define the region).
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim m
ad = Mid(ActiveCell.Address, 2, 1)
m = Range(ad & 24).Value 'here a formula "CountA(A2,A20)" will be place in the cell (24, c).......................
I'm trying to build an investment calculator. Tried searching "calculator" as keyword but return nothing similiar.
There are eight cell : [ A ][ B ][ C ][ D ][ E ][ F ][ G ][h]
[ H ] is price of the leverage
[A] is X balance
[b] is X lot size
[C] is X amount of money use to get x lot
[D] is X percentage of money use to get x lot
[E] is X point gain
[f] is X money gain
[G] is balance + money gain
Ignore the formulae for leverage to determine 1 lot price. Take 1 lot = 250.
What I'm looking for is when I enter any value at cell B, C or D, it will automatically calculate the value for either B, C or D cell.
Let say, the balance is 10000.
If I enter 2 at cell B. Then, it will calculate the value for cell C & D.
If I enter 750 at cell C, then it will calculate value for cell B & D.
If I enter 25 at cell D, it will calculate value for cell B & C.

I have an attendance template I'm working with and if a user selects OT (Over Time) then a input box is displayed prompting for how many hours. The overtime is then tracked on another worksheet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with two sheets. The idea behind the workbook is an Interview Guide to be used just before an Interview. For now my problem is this.
Sheet 2 "Competencies" is just data. It stores competencies with their associated definitions and questions.
Sheet 1 "Control Page" is the sheet where the questions will eventually go. The user (Interviewer) will input data on the first two pages which will include name of candidate, date of interview etc. but they will also select 5 Competencies from the already existing drop down menus on page two. From there as the selections are made I wish for a code to copy the corresponding definition on sheet 'Competencies" to cells lower down in sheet "Control page".
I don't see a place to upload a file as I have a sample of the sheet ready to go.
What I want to do is very similar to a Data Validation message, where a message pops up when you select a the cell. I want that message to be the value of another cell in the same worksheet.
I would also be open to a solution where you simply mouse over a cell to see a comment/message.
Is it possible to have a message box with two values? I've had a good look around but have drawn a blank so far. This works perfectly for the bank balance cell value:
VB:
Sub Bank_Balance()
Dim MyNote As String, Ans As Variant
MyNote1 = "Bank Balance = £" & Range("G2")
[Code]....
But I'd like to see the date in there as well which is pulled from cell H2. Tried this but it doesn't work:
VB:
Sub Bank_Balance()
Dim MyNote As String, Ans As Variant

My Cell C3 is a numeric value..I have set conditional formatting to make the text red and bold when the number is equal or less than 10,000 is there a way I can make cell E3 display a message when the C3 condition is true?? or if not a message is there a way to make a message box pop up when my C3 condition of less then or equal to 10,000 is true?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I click a cell (say A1) I want a specific message to appear in another cell (say B1); when I click A2, a different message should appear in B1 (basically B1 will be my display zone). The reasons I need it as such are that the sheet is a calendar and so putting all of the messages in would look ridiculous, and I really need a static position (B1) for the messages.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the below macro designed to display a message box if a cell in the range specified is greater than the value in the designated cell (BF7). In the message, I'd like to include the value for the cell in another column, from the same row as the cell that met the condition.
For example:
Cell E11.........Cell BF11........Cell BF7
Mark....................1.......................0
What I want the message box to say: Mark worked too many days.
I understand how to include a cell value like so:
What i want is for a message box to appear automatically when the workbook is opened ONLY if Cell C4 (which is merged to F4)...
If there is information in this box then do not run macro
in the message box I want a box you can type in that will enter that information into cell C4. I know I will have to us a user form but what is the code I need?
I have a range C20:C38
In this range I have 15 codes that can be put in. If one of these codes is typed in incorrectly then a message box will appear stating "this code is incorrect please re-do"
can anyone help?
a few of the codes are
"S" "F" "O"
I have used to code below to active message boxes for 3 different cells - however the 2nd and 3rd time the code is not working....

If the selection in the "Index" worksheet combo box related to "Month" in cell G19 is for instance "December", I would like the macro to compare this cell value to the cell values in cells C96, C124, C152, C180, C209, C236, C263 and C290 in the "Tech Services" worksheet and where the values match.......copy the commentary (Range C126:Z147 in December's case) to the range C34:Z55.

I need help with a code to detect deletion of a cell's value.
In cell I10, a user can choose one of six items from a data validation list. Right now, I have code in there to pop up a message if the user selects value "X" from cells F6:F10 and G6:G10, but cell I10 does not have value "A", "B" or "C" already selected.
What I want, is if cells F6:F10 and G6:G10 have value "X" in them, and the user deletes values "A", "B" or "C" from I10 or changes it in any way after it has been filled, then to have a message box pop up.
I have the following code:
[Code] .....
This section:
[Code] ......
returns the cell that the date has passed in.
I would like it to return a different cell value in the message box, for example if J4 has passed its date, then B4 cell value is put in the message box instead.
