Messagebox Prompt Then Allow User To Enter Data Before Continuing Code Execution
Jun 11, 2013
Basically, in the "Thisworkbook" code , i have some code in the Workbook_BeforeClose section. Currently , it autosaves the workbook in a folder i have specified.
However, i need to add some code.I want to check that a certain cell has a value in it before the user closes the workbook, and if the cell is empty, show a messagebox asking him to enter a value.
I know how to get a messagebox to pop up, the only thing is once the user clicks the OK button,
i need the rest of the code execution to pause, allowing him to make the change then if he clicks the "X" (top right of the screen) to close the file or application, the filesave dialog appears and he can then save the document.
how to go about this because at the moment when user clicks ok, the messagebox just disappears and filesave dialog appears and he doesn't have a chance to edit the cell.
After recording a macro that goes to last figure in data, how do I edit this to prompt for a new data value and enter it into 1st empty cell at end of data?

I'm building a spreadsheet that consolidates multiple worksheets into one. I've got that portion done, but what i need help with is a user prompt. I don't have an example at the moment, but it should be fairly straight forward.
Rather than consolidating all the data into one worksheet I want to consolidate only the rows that contain certain information. The column I need to query in each worksheet is "BL". The only thing is that column won't always contain the same data. Is there a way to do basically a prompt to where it searches for the data they want and if it isn't in there it just moves on to the next worksheet automatically?
I need a macro which collects data from two files and dumps it into a separate spreadsheet. I need it to prompt the user to select the two files, since the file names may change.
Once a user selects the files, the macro simply opens them, grabs the data (the data sits on a single sheet in each file) and pastes it into a file, and closes the 2 data files.
I have produced a basic search/lookup facility on an Excel workbook that simply allows the user to enter a post code and some details will be returned using a vlookup. The document is going to be rolled out to a number of operational users so I want to basically 'lock down' everything I can in the document (basically everything except the data entry cell) and make it fool proof- I have locked all cells apart from the data entry cell and have made the file read only.
The only issue I am encountering is when the cursor is in the one 'unlocked' cell (i.e. the one the users will enter the post code into); it appears that you can break the document. For example, when the cursor is in the 'unlocked' cell, I am able to go to Tools > Options and change various settings including cosmetic colour changes but also cell calculation which breaks the lookup functionality. This is probably enabled as the cell is unlocked, but if I lock the cell, when I protect the document, it disables data entry!
if there is another way of providing this one cell for users to input data into for the vlookup to work whilst locking down the rest of the document to ensure that no-one can break it?
I'm trying to write some code that will check if specific files in a folder are present before continuing code.
I've looked on-line and found various code that checks if a single file is present whereas my requirement is slightly more demanding.
Some files might be present and others not. The code must check ALL necessary files are there then run main code. If even any single file from say 5 files is missing, code must exit.
I was thinking of using an array to store all files names and then use a "For Each XX In XX" to loop through the array and check each file is present?
This is what I have so far:
Sub XX() Dim strPath As String, LinesDelete As String, Applepnfile As String, MpnStock As String Dim myArray() As Variant, myElement As Variant Dim myArray() As Variant, myElement As Variant
I have 4 textboxes that the user enters data. I then have a button on the user form.
i would like to write code so that when the user hits the button... Textbox1 data goes into active cell Textbox2 data into the cell below Active cell Textbox3 below it and textbox4 below it then close the user form.
I've been going round in circles with this for hours and have got no-where. I 'm trying to get Excel to paste in a set pattern of data based on an input cell.
In row 1 I have months starting in cell B1. B1 = April 12, C1 = May 12, D1 = June 12, and so on
The user would enter the data in column A, starting in row 2
If the date in A2 = May 12 then Excel would enter 10 in cell C2, 20 in cell D2 and 30 in cell E2. If the date in A2 is changed to June 12, then the previous data would be cleared and Excel would enter 10 in E2, 20 in F2 and 30 in G2.
Date would be entered in A3, A4, A5 etc and I would want it to post the same fixed data depending on the date the user enters in teh relevant row.
I've tried IF statements and also some code but can't even get near it working.
I am looking to allow a user to enter a unique value when a drop down value is captured from a list i.e 'Other' (Possibly a pop up box), then I require this value to be hidden and calculated along with others to show the average (The average calculation obviously wouldn't be in the same cell).
Is there any way to "Inscribe" a cell? I would like to run a macro on Enter keypress, that would execute different code depending on that "inscription" that would be invisible to user. I could use some properties of . Validation property like this:
Private Sub EnterPressed 'following code to ensure proper functioning of Enter in any other Worksheet If ActiveSheet <> mySheet 'MySheet is global Variable then ActiveCell.Offset(1,0).Select exit Sub End If 'now the real code If ActiveCell.Validation.InputMessage = "1" Then ActiveCell.Offset(0,1).Select Else 'something else End If End Sub
The problem is, I use Data Validation and Conditional Formatting, so can't use any of these properties.
I'm using Excel 2010, and I need to restrict the value the user can enter into a cell (E9).
In cell E3 is the screen width (pixels). eg 6024 In cell E5 is the preferred width of a window. eg 450
The user, in cell E9, enters an x coordinate for which they prefer the top left corner of the window whose width is specified in E5.
If the value that the user enters in E9, added to the width entered in E5, exceeds the value of E3, (if E9+E5 > E3) then the value should be disregarded (window will be off right of screen) and the user re-enter.
I'm not familiar with the use of data validation, so I'm uncertain as to how to use it in this circumstance.
I have been trying to track down why this message keeps on popping up, doesn't matter what excel file I open it always pops up, code will halt at different times in the code.
I have created an addin that runs several macros. To enable the user to undo any changes, I keep a backup prior to them using any of the macros in the form of a worksheet named back00xx. I want a prompt to be displayed to the user to remove these backups at the closing or saving of the file. The problem is that as an addin, how do I get it to display this prompt as the open workbook is not part of the addin.
Could one have a looping routine that is checking every xx min/sec to check if the current workbook contains any sheets starting back00
It happily goes through a list and sums multiple records. It might not be the most efficient or best way to do it but it works and when I run it on a couple of stand alone sheets it takes a couple of seconds to process if that.
Unfortunately when I run it as part of the overall application that I've developed it takes ages to run, i.e. more like ten minutes.
The spreadsheet has a few graphs and about 250 sumproduct and array formula live in it but all other formula on other sheets are created and then paste valued as part of other VBA routines. As you can see I've also turned calculation off as the procedure runs so don't understand why it is suddenly taking so long.
This file pulls totals from external links. The way I have it set up is that every month our log is saved to a naming scheme involving the date, then a fresh log is created for the current month. So, for each month I have "log mm-yyyy".
Now, the chart file is a thirteen month rolling chart (meaning every month it must show the thirteen most recent month's totals). I have created a macro to automatically update the links, based on an input in cell A:1 (meaning you can enter a date in the past and view the thirteen months previous). The problem is that we have only been doing the log for 10 months. So, when the macro runs to update the links, and it gets to months 11 through 13, it pops up a window for the user to manually browse for the missing(non-existent) files. There are quite a few cells that contain links to various information on these logs. I get a prompt for each cell and have to click "cancel". Once I have clicked cancel through all of the broken links, then everything works great.
My question (after all that) is, is there a way to suppress the prompt for the user to search for the missing file? Like I said, this chart is for management, and they shouldn't have to click cancel a dozen times just o look at a chart. If the file doesn't exist, then just break the link.
Obviously once the next three months are over, this problem will disappear, but in the mean time I need a solution.
I have a function which will allow me to search for combination of numbers which will sum to zero. However, because the range could be as long as 300 rows or even the possibility of not finding the combination that will sum to zero, the macro will take ages to complete or even causes the whole excel to hang. So What i want is to instruct macro to stop doing the search if it cannot find the results after say 20 minutes of searching.
I have created two userforms which allows people to log-in to the worksheet.
The code works great on the first go, sometimes even twice, but after a while I get taken to the VBE and shown the message "Code execution has been interrupted". And highlights a certain part of my code (highlighted in red below).
I will copy all of the code relating to the userform below.
UserForm Code
Code: Private Sub CancelButton_Click() Unload Me End Sub Private Sub ClearButton_Click() TextUsername.Value = "" TextPassword.Value = "" End Sub
There is definite problem, as the "Code execution has been interrupted" error message appears seemingly at random (although if the workbook doesnt change it is the same points), and for no reason.
If I click the continue button the macro runs exactly as planned, but still there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why this happens!
I am writing a routine to retrieve multiple stock quotes by looping through a bunch of sheets and refreshing a bunch of querytables that access the web. My data source (Livecharts) is often clogged up and queries will fail or get lost in space so after initiating the queries I wait for a while using a waitable and then check to see if each query has completed or is still refreshing. If they are still refreshing I cancel them and refresh again. Or at least that was the plan. What I have discovered is that as long as the vba code is running the results from the queries do not come back into excel. As soon as the code is exited or I go into break mode in the debugger the queries complete.
Is there some way to get the queries to refresh during code execution? Here is a code snippet that shows what I am trying. I have defined a Class Module defining an "EventfulQTable" and it's associated methods and properties so I can have a QueryTable with events. The sub Wait uses the windows API SetWaiTable command to pause for a specified period of time. It includes a DoEvents command which I thought would allow the returning queries back into Excel but no such luck.
Sub Refresh_Queries() Dim SheetNum As Integer, ListSheet As Integer Dim eqtQT As New EventfulQTable Dim QueriesDone As Boolean
I have this codes which will only trigger if I manually execute it. What do I need to do to trigger it automatically whenever the worksheet change.
Below is the codes:
Sub Risk_Color()
Dim c As Range, myFontCol As Integer, myCol As Integer
For Each c In ActiveSheet.Range("f7:g20000") myFontCol = xlAutomatic myCol = xlNone Select Case c.Value Case Is = 1, 2, 3 myCol = 34 Case Is = 4, 5, 10, 20: myCol = 43 Case Is = 30, 40, 50: myCol = 6 Case Is = 70, 100, 140, 150 myCol = 5 myFontCol = 2
Looking to write a macro which includes a prompt to the user for use in Excel 2007. Specifics....Have a workbook including many worksheets with a common layout. Would like to write a macro to copy specific defined ranges from one worksheet to another but within the macro it would prompt the user to type in the worksheet name to copy the ranges from.
Example....User is at worksheet C in the file containing worksheets A, B, C, and D. User starts the macro and a prompt comes up for the user to input the worksheet name to source the ranges from (in this example A). User types in "A" in a dialog box and the macros copy/pastes the contents from range B4:B35 and Z2:z20 from worksheet A into those same ranges in worksheet C.
I am using VBA to create a weightloss calculator and everything is going fine ecept the Vbyesno boolean that will not allow me to delete the data that i want.
I used a macro to delete the information that i want to delete and i know it works because without the vbyesno, it works fine.
With the vbyes no, both yes and no do nothing when clicked and the yes no box just closes.
The macro code is stored in a private sub called "ClearAll"
My code is:
Private Sub Restart_Click() Dim Response As Boolean Response = MsgBox ("Are you sure",YbYesNo) If Response = VbYes Then Call ClearAll End If End Sub
What am i doing wrong?
I also want to make the no button the default, how do i do this in conjunction with the code above?
Now..when I run any of my macros, I get the following message.. "Code Execution has been interrupted".
I'm not sure why I'm getting this message but it happens everytime I run ANY macro. Note that if I hit "Continue" every time it gives me the option, I am able to successfully run the macro, but obviously, I shouldn't have to do this.
