Prompt For Data Input When Other Cells Are Populated
Feb 7, 2008
I would like to create an spreadsheet that prompts me to input data into a cell (eg; 'C1' - 'Quantity Ordered') as soon as another cell on the same row becomes populated (eg; 'A1' - 'Item Code'). I need this function to apply for several rows (25 rows in total), so that if data is then entered into cell 'A2', I get a prompt to enter data into 'C2', all the way up to a prompt for data in cell 'C25' when cell 'A25' is populated.
As it is imperative that I never forget to populate the relevant cells; I would also like to 'enforce' the prompt - perhaps by preventing the worksheet from being saved until the relevant cells have had data entered into them, or perhaps by using some kind of form, rather than a messagebox.
My new Time in Motion sheet is coming along nicely with some snazzy programmed Command Buttons to fill data into another sheet.
One of my buttons is for 'other' tasks, so I'd like to programme a button to prompt first for a number of minutes (e.g. 30), and then a brief description (e.g. Meeting) and input the data side-by-side in 2 columns on sheet 2.
This is what I have for my other single-entry buttons, so what would I need to add?
Dim ans As String ans = InputBox("Case reference:", "Data Entry") Sheets("Sheet2").Range("F" & Sheets("Sheet2").Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1).Value = ans
I've not used Input Box function before. When a user opens my workbook I want to check whether a named range ("Name") is blank and, if it is, to prompt the user to type their name in an Input Box which then returns that value to the named range. This is what I have tried but I don't think I am referring to the named range correctly,
Dim strName If IsNull("Name") Then strName = InputBox("Please enter your name", "Name Required", "1") Range("Name") = strName End If
My Excel File Name "eai.xls" ,when I Click The File , It Open The Sheet Name "menu" With The Inputbox Prompt:="put Your Id" When The User Put The True Id , It Will Show The Input Box Prompt:="your Password" . If The Password True Will Activate The Sheet Name "data" .and Hide All The Menu Bar.
If The Wrong Id Name Show The Msg.box "re Enter Your True Id " ,that Also For The Wrong Password In Which If User Put More Than 3 Times Wrong , Will Close The Workbook And Exit File.
The User Persons Allow 10 Person Id . Keep In The Table Of The Sheet Name " Id And Password" The Id No. Are In The A1:a10 Password No. Are In B1:b10 This Sheet Name Is Hide And Protect
I run a macro to open multiple workbooks and run a macro within those workbooks. All worked fine until a message/input box was included in the individual workbook macros [that I cannot change] to notify the single workbook user when the macro had successfully completed and prompts for an “ok” input.
Can I get my macro to ignore this prompt and not wait for an input – I am currently clicking “ok” everytime it comes up on screen. Have searched help and forum but nothing jumps out.
I have eventually got my Worksheet up and running but now im trying to make things a little easier to complete. The plan is when the Engineer is on site he has to open the Excel sheet to check the tests he has to complete and then mark the results. this is fine but for vaildation he has to sign everthing etc... i made it easier so they only had to fill in one box and it would complete the rest but this seems to get missed more often than not.
SOOO
i want a Screen to pop up when some one opens my excel that says Enter name and contact details. then they submit this which updates the spread sheet with this information and then the engineer can continue as normal.
I have several hundred workbooks with multiple worksheets(15-35) that I am trying to tidy up, so the data can be entered into a database. Its my first attempt at VBA and between the forum and macro recorder I made an attempt which is below. I just can't seem to get over the last part. I have searched the forum but can't seem to find any relevant information. I have a couple of questions.
1. I need to be able to run this macro over all the worksheets in the workbook, so how can I loop it? All the worksheets are named differently i.e. peoples names.
2. In my code I have inserted 4 columns. These columns will be the only thing common between all the worksheets. A1 to A30 = Week number, B1 to B30 = Shift Number, C1 to C30 = Supervisor number. Column D is blank. I'd like to be able to be prompted to enter these 3 numbers at the start if possible? Can this be done in such a way as you are only prompted the once and not on each worksheet? I picked 30 rows because the amount of rows in each worksheet varies but never exceeds this. The end of my code "Delete rows where cell B is blank" will delete any excess data where 30 rows of week numbers etc are not needed.

I have a cell (C16) that has a date format (such as 08/28/2014). I want the value of this cell to be "N/A" when cell C7 is "No". When C7 is "Yes", I want Excel to prompt the user to enter a date for C16 when they click on C16. The formula for cell C7 is =IF(C3="No","No","Yes"). That's where the value of C7="No" comes from. If I didn't need a date for the value of C16, the formula would be something like =IF(C7="No","N/A","______"). I have just recently started trying Excel macros due to a tool
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).
In cell H5 there is list of dates and in H7 there is codex, based on these two conditions in H11 a data validation list should be populated from the code_sheet using column B. The populated list should be unique entries, as the column B in code_sheet has duplicates.
formula using if's and vlookup's to populate a calendar with x's for day a person is gone. however the last couple of people that are gone are not being marked on the calendar even though i use the exact same formula (except for cell numbers and such) for previous, working entries. Here is my formula
Trying to use Excel Data List to create a database style report. IE. Originally blank sheet, which is only populated by data containing data matching "filters" input into cells ( say A1 & A2 )
I.e. A1 = Delivery week to be filtered by, and B1 Manufacturer Name
So if I type week "1" into A1 & Manufacturer "Microsoft" into A2, it will show a table only containing data Microsoft, Week 1, and associated data for those lines across the screen.
I have an month input in cells B2 (user can enter values from 1-5)
I then have a data table that has month 1,2,3,4,5 running across range G9:K9. the data is held in range G10:K19.
So if user types in 4 in B2, what should happen is that months 1,2,3 and 4 the data for these months should be cleared and data in month 5 moves forward into month 1.
So basically, anything left of the month entered is B2 should be cleared and replaced with anything right of the month in B2.
how to do some complex stuff in Excel but sometimes I don't know how to do some really easy stuff. After I have named a data set of say a certain ten cells in one column, is there a function or a way to input the name and have that data populate a different ten cells? For instance if I have a huge amount of data all coded and I want to take equal but different portions and run them through a template, how can I make it so I just have to enter the a code for any of the data I have coded and have it populate momentarily where ever I need it to go? I'm sure this is very easy to do unless I have explained it inadequately.
I'm putting the finishing touches to a grade sheet for the new academic year. I have one column that calculates a grade using the OFFSET function from a given number of points. However, I only want this cell to show a grade when the nine individual unit columns have been populated. If fewer than 9 columns have been populated, the cell in question needs to be blank. I've tried using COUNTA to count the number of populated cells and then linking that cell to an =IF(Q5=9... formula, but haven't been able to crack it yet. I'm probably missing something obvious...
I have a spreadsheet that has a couple of columns that ask for "Move In Date" and the other "Move Out Date". These dates are used in other calculations so there can be only one or the other in each row. I have users that mistakenly either leave both blank or both popluated. Is there a way to stop them with a message telling them that a date needs to be entered or deleted, maybe with data validation?
I have a spreadsheet whee teammates can inut the date in one cell and the exact time in another cell - how do I lock the cell with the time so it can't be changed?
I'm trying to create financial statements on a sheet with quarterly and annual data. Is it possible to create like a button to change inputs on a cell
Income Statement for Abercrombie Fitch Company Class A ANF from Morningstar.com (2).jpgIncome Statement for Abercrombie Fitch Company Class A ANF from Morningstar.com2 (2).jpg
whats the best way to insert a button like in the jpg example
and need to input in rows A (date in this example) and C(number in this example) which are adequate for each country so to look like this in rows A,B,C,D:
I'm trying to create an accounting document, but stuck in couple fields
1) Make balance appear in column E5 only if column C5 OR D5 is polulated, so goes for the rest of the cell in that colu
2) I like to have 2 digits after the decimal but (same as above) i want it to appear ONLY if there are any decimals to that number, all those 0 become confusing.
3) I need to make it so the last calculated cell on sheet Jan of column E gets transfered auto to sheet Feb D3 of F3 so the calculations could proceed to the next month
I basically need to switch between ranges of cells to data input alot. so i thought of making a fixed field to enter the data which transfers the data over to designated cells .
Attached is an example.
I am not too sure which one will work, the If statement captures the data but when i switch out , the entry is gone .
I have a worksheet that I will be allowing other to access so that I can get them to input certain data. I will be protecting the sheet to avoid having them inadvertantly overwrite any of my formulae. So, I have a matrix on the left for them to input data into with calculations to the right that they cannot change. Can I prevent them from moving cells within the input matrix
I'm trying to make the included spreadsheet as idiot proof as possible as a lot is a stake. I have most functionality working well; however, not I would like to add a little more data validation that does not exist in the normal cell validation rule set.
I need all the input cells to validate that the cell contains the word "BOX" upon entry, otherwise throw a warning. This is because the data entry will be done by barcode and there are a couple barcode labels on each box. The one I want will include the word "BOX" somewhere in the code sequence.
Since a previous function in the Code locks the cell, they wont be able to fix the error. but it will alert them so they can make sure to scan in the proper barcode and not miss the box. Also, once I get something that works in the code, where would I put it? In the same code box as the previous script, underneath it, or somewhere else? So, bottom line, I need a script that check the cell for Text of "Box" otherwise throw a message box.
Seeking a way to automatically select just the populated range of cells in Cols A, B and C starting with row 2. In this sample there are 48 however this changes.
Is there a formula that would search for rows, or cells withing a row, that contain information and populate consecutive numbers in an adjacent column. For example if I am working with rows 1-4... F1 and F4 has information populated, while F2 and F3 are blank. I would like for the formula to populate E1 with the number 1 and E4 with the number 2. So the formula should decipher that F2 and F3 are blank therefore ignore these rows in the consecutive number scheme for column E. I would like for the formula to be scalable to any number of rows
