Perform Copy / Paste Between Sheets With Command Button And Add Message Box To Indicate Invalid Action?
Aug 23, 2013
I am trying to develop a system to allow me select different parts from multiple sheets and then add them into a bill of material on a separate sheet.
[URL] ...........
I have written some VB script the best I can and it includes a 'commandbutton' to make it easy for the user of the workbook to use.
This is how it works:
Go to 'Step 1 - Manifold 8640' tab and highlight one of the yellow cells.Once you have selected a yellow cell, you then click the 'select' button above.The value (along with other values) are copied to the 'Smart Calc' sheet.Then you go to 'Step 2 - Gland Plate' tab, select a yellow cell, click the 'Select' button.Notice how the 'Step 2 - Gland Plate' value is entered into a different group in the 'Smart Calc' sheet - this is great................BUT
The issue I am having is:
If the user goes to 'Step 1 - Manifold 8640' tab, highlights the desired yellow cell then presses the 'Select' button twice, it will add two lines of data in the relevant 'Step 1 - Manifold 8640' section....This is ok.But when the user clicks a third time, the 'Step 1' data will overflow into the 'Step 2' section of the 'Smart Calc' tab...because the script tells the data to look for the next available line to write to. This is what I am trying to avoid!
Instead, i would like a message box to popup to indicate to the user that they cannot add anymore data into into the 'Step 1' or 'Step 2' sections of the 'Smart Calc' tab until they clear the data from within the relevant section in 'Smat Calc'.
I would like to set limits on where each 'Step 1' or 'Step 2' data is written to the 'Smart Calc' sheet (so it is within its relevant section). As you can see the script basically looks for the next available cell but this isn't really good when the data 'overflows'.
Note that you are able to highlight the yellow cells in the 'Smart Calc' tab and press the delete key, it will delete the data to clear the line. That is how i designed it to work so if the user makes a mistake they are able to just delete the relevant line and enter new data.
How can I assign 2 different functions on one command button. For example, I want my save button on the form to save the data from the text into a worksheet as well as open a new form.
I'm trying to create a command button on my sheet that when clicked will find all rows in column u that read Engineering Evaluation and then copy certain cells from that row to another sheet. The kicker is that this button will be used over and over again as more entries are entered into the log. I only want each row counted once.
Right now I get a run time error for the "For Each Cell In Application.Intersect(Range("u:u"), target)" line.
If a name is entered in cboRepName combo box, I want to check if the name matches the list of names in the named range "Names" found in sheet repInformation. If the name is not found, then perform tasks.
Here is what I have so far, of course is not working, but I think I am close.
Code: Private Sub cboRepName_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) Dim repName As String Dim nRange As Range
I have an excel file with a column (I) which lists the total number of businesses in a different tab (DATA) that meet certain restrictions (these restrictions being listed in the same row in different cells). When the cell under coluimn "I" is double-clicked, it pulls the businesses from tab DATA that meet the restrictions for that row and shows them all in another tab.
I don't know the person that created this and was wondering if there is a way to figure out what is being done to make this happen? I looked in macros, but didn't see anything relating to this. Anyone know how this is done?
So you know, I have tried double-clicking other cells, but nothing happens - not even editing into the cell (altho this can be done from the toolbar up top).
In all the cells in column F I have a validation list with several predefined choices, but at the bottom of this list I want an "Other..." option, which when chosen, enables the user to enter a new string in that cell if none of the predefined did not match.
Converting old reports to usable excel format. I am having trouble using VBA to set up a looping macro that would search Column A for cells with the text string: "ACTIVITY TOTAL". If cell has that value I would like to perform text to column action on the adjacent cell (R0C1). The macro recording for the test to column settings i need is :
I have attached a sample of what I am currently working with. The actual file has roughly 6000 lines of data, so I would like the macro to go through all lines.
I have put a command button on one of my excel sheets and can't remove it. It will not highlight on both left or right clicks. Cant even change the text. how i can remove it.
I'm trying to make a command button copy the text from a text box on a multipage control to the active cell in the sheet. I have been able to make it paste the text once it is manually selected and copied to the clipboard but that is all. I've tried recording a macro but that doesn't seem to work in the userform. I need it to copy the text from the active multipage tab (from a textbox) and paste into the sheet's active cell.
I have sheet1 having two formulas. Ideally I can copy and paste the formula to the entire column, However this then populates , say 3000 cells unnecessarily which slows down excel performance or increases size of the file.
I am looking for a vba ( this is used to open userform) To include copy formula from filled cell above to next empty row ( cells will be in column K & L)
So every-time userform is opened, the formula is copied to next empty row.
If I press either the "OK" or "Cancel" button without entering any states in (because I changed my mind and want ALL states in there, or I pressed either button by accident), the macro eliminates ALL the rows because it needs criteria.
Can this code be modified so that the message box does the following...
1. If I press the "OK" button but I haven't entered in any criteria in the message box, bring up another message box saying "you have not entered in any states in" which brings up an "OK" box and brings you back to the original message box.
2. If I hit the "Cancel" button, bring up a message box that says "No states will be removed" with an "OK" button, essentially cancelling the "State" macro portion of the sub, but continuing with the rest of the code in the sub if there is any.
I would like to have this message box work this way even if states were entered in the input box but the user pressed the "Cancel" button anyway.
3. Create a NEW button named "Keep ALL States" which essentially does the same thing as the "Cancel" button. (I'm trying to "idiot proof" this).
I have a simple command button in my worksheet that will insert a blank row and copy formatting, but not the formulas. How do I adjust the code so that the formulas are copied to the new blank row? This is currently what I have:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() Sheets("WAWF Track").Range("A9").Select ActiveCell.EntireRow.Insert Shift:=x1Down End Sub
When you click on a command button what would the vba code be to copy the data from the active excel workbook active sheet so that it ends up in the active word document?
I want the values from: Cell A1 value in Excel to bookmark name "Text1" Cell A2 value in Excel to bookmark name "Text2" Cell A3 value in Excel to bookmark name "Text3" to be copied into the active word document.
i have one workbook consist of many worksheets, i want to have command button in sheet 3 that if i click the button the sheet1 and sheet2 will copy to another new workbook.
Sheet1 A2 = Name (chosen off sheet2) A3 = Job Title (chosen off sheet2) A4 = Department (chosen off sheet2)
Sheet2 Column A = List of names Column B = Corresponding Job Title Column C = Corresponding Department
I need to be able to choose a name off sheet2, click the command button and it send selected name, job title, and department to sheet1 to the respective cells.
I have the following code that works fine (although i'm sure you'll think it's a little clumsy), but when I add a save workbook line at the end I get a message that says that an action (presumably the save) will interupt a refresh. My problem is that I cant understand why there is a refresh when the code ends. The data that is being refreshing is big and a number of calculations take place, so that may be something to do with it.
Sub RUN() Application.DisplayAlerts = False Application.DisplayStatusBar = True[code].....
I'm trying to attach an Excel file but I keep getting a message stating it's an invalid file. I don't remember having trouble before attaching here, but I am now. What must I do?
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 was thinking of how the Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) macro can be used to paste values instead of formula when the user uses Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V. Instead of assigning a macro to a command button for user to activate.
Suppose I have a worksheet where the range ("D7:D56") is where I would want the user to paste his values in it. I have to factor in the possibility that these values have formulas attached to them, and that the user is not tech-savvy enough to know about the "paste special --> values" functionality of excel, and chooses to use the Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V method instead.
What then appears are ####### which might alarm the user.
Neither would we want the user to press a button (which we can assign the xlpastevalues macro as an alternative) as that adds an extra step for the user. There is also a chance the user might not use the button, or overlooked it.
Is it possible to use the Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) macro, or sth similar, to paste values instead of formula when user uses Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V?
VBA code. I think I need a worsksheet change event. Here is what I'm looking for:
If cell K1 = 3 and if the value of any cell in column A is < 80000 or is > 86666, or if the five digit number begins with an alpha, then a msg box will pop up stating "Invalid range".
More background: The user will be manually inputting 5 digit numbers into column A, but if they've selected cell K1 to equal 3 from a dropdown menu (which the user also does), then values entered that are less than 80000 or greater than 86666 are 'out of range', and the user should be alerted and if possible the number they entered gets cleared.
Additionally, some of the numbers the user could type in might begin with an alpha prefix, such as "G1234" - these would also be considered out of range when K1=3, so if the conditional statement could also recognize this it would be useful.
Column A will be blank until the user types in the 5 digit number, so the code only needs to trigger if the number typed into a cell in column A is outside of the aforementioned range.
So to sum it up once again, I'm looking for a msgbox (and clear cell) if the following criteria is simultaneously met- *If K1 = 3 (meaning that K1 equaling anything other than 3 wouldn't cause the msgbox) *And values typed in column A are less than 80000 or are greater than 86666, or begin with an alpha (meaning that values typed in between 80000 - 86666 wouldn't cause the msg box.)
I have been working on this macro all day and no matter how many different ways I write it I can't seem to get it to finish correctly without giving me an error message. The error messages are different depending on how I write the macro, so what the message says is not important.
I have attached a sample of my work which contains the macro, but I'll post the code below as well. There are two tabs in the workbook. One contains the data("download") and the other is the template("Blank") per say. I need the macro to create a new worksheet using the template for each line of the data ("download")until it gets to the "finalrow." It names the worksheets the value of D3 currently, but I'd like to figure out how to name the worksheets by C3. c3 contains the names of customers, and is duplicated for each product they have purchased. I'd just like to attach a number after the name if it is a duplicate. i.e. Adam, Adam1, Adam2, Adam3 for all "Adam"s.
Look into the code and see if that makes sense. if not, feel free to ask questions.
Is it possible that when you press a command button, that the first thing it does is to execute the code assigned to another command button (IE in another sub).
I have a workbook with 26 sheets, labelled A to Z. Column A in all the sheets have names from rows A6:A35.
I need a macro or a code to extract all the names from each of the 26 sheets and paste it to a new sheet 'Names' under column A, such that names starting with 'B' paste under all the names 'A' and so forth till 'Z'.
I have a spreadsheet with client names, email addresses, and appointment info. I export a .csv file from outlook. I have been doing a mail merge in word and then coping and pasting into an Outlook message and sending it out. I did some reseach and found code that I have made changes to. Of course they it doesn't work. I can't get anything to happen when I run this code.
Code: Sub Qualls_Email_Confirms()
Dim OutApp As Object Dim OutMail As Object Dim cell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
