Pop Up Textbox In Data Validation In Protected Spreadsheet With Certain Constraints
Feb 17, 2009
This is the code where you click on a cell that has been input from Data Validation, it gets a pop up textbox showing the text input. One drawback I see here is that when the sheet is protected, one needs to tick 'Edit Objects' in 'Allow all users of this worksheet to:' window to get the textbox to pop-up otherwise no textbox is shown.
So this leads to the accessed user to have the ability of deleting and moving the textbox in the protected spreadsheet. Do you have any idea to Protect the sheet, Get the textbox to pop up,
Disallow user to delete/move the textbox.

I have a userform used to input vehicle information. To prevent any errors, is it possible for data Validation to be set in a listbox to accept upto 7 characters (both numbers and letters)

I add data validation into 4 columns and when i re-open the spread sheet after saving it, it clears all validation.
Although it clears the validation, the place where it gets the data from is still there. i have also unfroze panes and is still clearing data validation
Attached is the spread sheet. The data validation is in columns A, G, H and I on the 'unsourced' page and is getting the data frfom the 'Sheet1' Page.

I am trying to build a spreadsheet containing data validation (drop-downs). So far, so good.
My goal:
* I want to have various cells show dropdowns based on the value of a cell (per row) which itself can be changed by the user using a drop down.
* I want to have the same various cells show dropdowns that are also based on the value of a cell which has a fixed value per column (in other words, a header).
I have tried a lot of different approaches, including using the INDIRECT function, named ranges, dynamic ranges using a table, INDEX and MATCH. All have failed.
The main issues I see have to do with the fact that my data has several possible values for each given header and classification. Also all values are not unique.
The best result I have ever got returned a dropdown list based on the header bot returned the entire column rather than limited to the classification values. So for example I had all instances of 'Main Colour' to choose from, not just those of the classification value.

Error in data validation: "A named range you specified cannot be found." However, the named ranges are in the Name Manager, and if I go to the sheet and select the range, I can see it is already named.
Full description:
I created a spreadsheet model (no VBA, just formulas, etc) in a workbook that another coworker took and added VBA to. However, he was not working with the most updated version. So last night I checked the sheets which had the same names, made sure there were no differences except the changes I had made since that version, and then moved the ones from my current workbook into his workbook.
On the sheet where the user was to input details of the report, there are 4 cells that each contain different lists (non-dependent). I want the user to only be able to choose one of the 4 drop down menus - that is, if any of the 4 cells are filled in, I would like the other 3 to default to N/A (or somehow not be allowed to be chosen). This was solved in a previous thread:
Using A1: =IF(COUNTA(A2:A4),NA(),G2:G6) from the other thread solution, I used a named range instead of G2:G6 and it worked well.
When I merged the files together, the 4 cells no longer worked at all. It was suggested that I look at the Name Manager, and some of te named ranges I had were in there multiple times. I cleaned them up.
I tried to enter the same formula again, and it gave me the specific error: "A named range you specified cannot be found." However, the named ranges are in the Name Manager, and if I go to the sheet and select the range, I can see it is already named.
I am unable to load the spreadsheet due to sensitive data, and removing the data would make the workbook make no sense.

How do you crack a protected spreadsheet other than copying the tab and pasting? Someone protected a lease abstract by mistake and now we cannot make changes.

I have a TextBox on a UserForm in which the user should be entering a series of coma separated zip codes. (12345, 54321, 15243, ...) The number of zips to be entered is variable.
I would like to validate entry as the user types. My first thought is to use the change event and tell it that only numbers, comas, and spaces are allowed, but that doesn't do anything about ensuring 5 digits per zip or having a space after each coma.
Is there a Format function that would allow for a variable number of zips? What else might work?

I have a text box in which date will be entered. I am using the following code to validate and format the date.
Code:
Private Sub txtTDate_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
If IsDate(txtTDate.Value) Or txtTDate.Value > Date Then
sDate = DateSerial(Year(Date), Month(Date), Day(Date))
[Code]...
I expected it to return error if the date entered is less than Current(System's) date. This is not working.

I need to verify 4 things.

3. The Entry if below the maximum.
4. Number of decimal places.
Since I have 30 boxes and will be adding more in the future I need a Subroutine.

I am trying to validate two things for one TextBox and they somehow contradict each other:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
TextBox_today.Value = Date
TextBox_today.Text = Format(TextBox_today.Text, "dd mmm yy")
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox_expiry_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
With Me.TextBox_expiry
If IsDate(.Text) Then
.Text = Format(.Text, "dd mmm yy")
Me.Label_expiry.Caption = "expiry as date:"
Else
Cancel = True.................................
Also, what other date formats I could use besides "dd mmm yy?"

I am trying to make validation so a textbox in a form can only accept only letters. At the moment however i can only seem to stop it entering numbers on its own, i cant stop it from accepting letters and numbers. here is the code so far. (please try keep the code simple as possible i have seen more diffuclt solutions but they are to difficult)
Private Sub LetterVal()
'Validation to ensure only Letters may be entered into the text box.
If IsNumeric(Textbox1) Then
Textbox1.BackColor = &HFF&
MsgBox ("Only letters aloud in field")
Else
Textbox1.BackColor = &H80000005

I'm trying to figure a to enforce dual data validation on a single cell. That is, I need to restrict the user to entering only a decimal value, only if a particular other cell (say A2) is blank. To put it another way, if A2 is blank, the user can enter a decimal value, but if A2 is not blank, the user cannot enter anything. I can use Data Validation to enforce either the decimal restriction or the ISBLANK, but I'm not sure how to make them work together.

I was wondering if there is a way to add a text box into a specific part of an excel sheet
I've got a document and want a macro so when I click it it inserts a new textbox from cell E167 to X219
if I can only insert one with size its aprox 90% of A4 size.
I've tried recording one but it does not work.

I want one procedure that will validate the CURRENT textbox (not named by name, to allow for the procedure to be included in the change event of several different textboxes), to see if it is numeric (decimal places allowed) in Excel 2007.
I followed the instructions here: {url}, which describe exactly what I want to do. So I put the final procedure listed on that page (the dynamic validation code) into the private module of the user form object as listed below:
Private Sub pipes_Change()
OnlyNumbers
End Sub
Private Sub OnlyNumbers()
'This procedure checks to see if the value
'of the current textbox is a number or not
If TypeName(Me.ActiveControl) = "TextBox" Then
If Not IsNumeric(.Value) And .Value <> vbNullString Then
MsgBox "Sorry, only numbers are allowed."
.Value = vbNullString
End If
End With
End If
End Sub
I then ran the form and typed a number into the "pipes" textbox that had been validated. A compile error is thrown: "Invalid or unqualified reference", highlighting the ".Value" portion of IsNumeric. I tried to remove certain parts of the code, such as the IF statement and the "And .Value <> vbnullstring", but nothing works. I have a feeling it is because this code was created for Excel 2003 (though I'm not certain).

One of my work colleagues need to add a worksheet to an existing Excel Spreadsheet which has VBA behind it, but the worksheet is password protected. The developer who wrote the application has now left, so we have no idea what the password is. Is there anyway of getting round it, like cracking into the spreadsheet to find out the password, or another way?

I have 2 columns First Name & Surname. What I want to do is create a data validation list on the surname which results in the 2nd data validation list only showing the first names which link to one of the surnames.
i.e. If I selected Smith in the 1st validation list then I would only like to see 'Paul' as an option in the 2nd list
First Name
Surname
Paul
Smith

I have two spreadsheets, one gives me the beginning and end of civil twilight as a measure of day vs. night. The spreadsheet has Date/Time in the first column, and the value 45 in the 2nd column when it is night. The second spreadsheet has also 2 columns with date/time and body temperatures of a squirrel. I want to get basic statistics (mean and standard deviation) of the squirrel's nocturnal body temperature, that is for times when it is night (value 45). The tricky part is that Date/Time of both spreadsheets are different. The procedure has to recognize that the date/time of body temperature lies between the beginning and end of the value 45 blocks of the first spreadsheet.

Often I need to add data from one spreadsheet to the appropriate places on another spreadsheet. For example:
Sheet A has 10,000 records with these fields: id#, name, address, place of employment.
Sheet B has 5,000 records these fields: id#, GPA, college major, type of degree.
Some of the records in B contain information for the same id#'s as sheet A. I want to add this information together so that a Sheet C will have these fields: id#, name, address, place of employment, GPA, college major, type of degree.

I have attached a sheet that I am working on. I want cell G1 to be less than or equal to 165. That cell contains a formula. If the formula takes the number to over 165 the validation is allowing it.

I am trying to maximize fantasy football points based on projected points scored, salary and positional limits.
I have multiple sheets dedicated one per position (i.e. sheet named "QB", sheet named "RB", etc.). The relevant columns are: Name; FPT (projected points); Cost
NOTE: I have combined all the data into "sheet1" if necessary.
I need a VBA program or Solver to diagnose the largest possible combination of projected points based on the following constraints:
Constraint 1: Total value must be less-than or equal to $1,000,000
Constraint 2: Total players used must be equal to 10
Constraint 3-?: Of the 10, 2 must be QB, 2 must be RB, 2 must be WR, 1 must be TE, 1 must be DEF.....the other 2 can be RB, WR or TE
Obviously, each player can only be used once and I'm not sure if Solver can abide by that constraint, nor do I know how to apply the others. I'm thinking VBA could work, but I'm not familiar enough with the language to hammer out the code.
I have a small macro that downloads some data from a website and tweaks it Daily fantasy cheatsheet.zipa little, but I hope that won't affect any computations involving those values.
