I have cell E15 in Sheet1 which will take an 8 digit Personnel Number, which can have leading 0's. I want to prevent a user from entering any characters other than 0123456789. I have worked out that I need to use the Worksheet_Change event and I need to use the function IsNumeric.
No matter what I do I can't trigger the Worksheet_Change event!
a value in a cell depending on some condition.
In the attached sample file, when A2=Fruit, A9=Domestic, A10=Orange and A11=1, B2 would not accept a value greater than 200 and there is a pop up message.
This control check works fine if a user has input "Fruit" in A2 first and input amount in B2 later.
However, if the user has input value 250 in B2 first and input "Fruit" in A2 later, 250 would be accepted by B2 and there is no pop up message.
I have the following issue:
=AR85*36*75*6.29
The above formula does not return any value and it simply appears as it is keyed. Cell AR85 has 5. I know it is something to with this cell, but I cannot fix it. In fact the whole Column AR has these values downloaded. I tried "text to columns" but it still doesn't work.
I have several numeric values in one cell enetered using the alt return method, can these values be recognised as individual entries and therefore when the cell is formatted as $ it is applied on all entries?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a way to count the cells in a specified range if the cell contains a timevalue (such as: 0:05 or 1:15). When a cell in the same range contains a normal value (such as: 1 or 20) it should not be counted.
What formula should i use for this?
I was experimenting with:
=CountIF(N4:N50,">TIMEVALUE(0:01)")
and
=CountIF(N4:N50,">TIME(0,0,1)")
But both don't seem to work.

I am working in both 2003 and 2007 Excel.
This is a simplified version of my worksheet:
I have two cells, A2 and B2. When I enter a numeric value into B2, I want it only allowed when certain text values are in A2. I.E.: Allow any value in B2, but only if A1 is either "SYDN or "ADEL".
Now using info found in an old post, I can achieve this with a combination of data validation and code:
=OR(A2="SYDN",A2="ADEL") for the validation and for the code:
[Code] ......
The only problem is I also need to reset B2 if A2 changes to invalid data as a result of some other input to that cell (A2). In other words if B2 is showing "1" already and A2 were to change from "SYDN" to say "LOND", then B2 needs to be cleared. If A2 changed to "ADEL" then it doesn't need to clear but it is ok if it does because it is fine to re-enter "1" into B2 again.
I have attempted to attach a sample worksheet : Xl0000003.xls
for instance if i type in a particular cell any number 1, 0, 53 .. excel must not allow me to do this...
but there are certain value that have both number and alphatbets eg. 001 michael jordan ... cell should allow such values.
I have a range B1 to B4 for user to input value. Worksheet Change Event
However, the range B1 to B4 should not accept any value if the cell on the left hand side is empty.
Eg,
If A1 is empty, B1 should not accept any value.
If A2 is empty, B2 should not accept any value.
If A3 is empty, B3 should not accept any value.
Below code checks for condition in A1 only.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B1:B4")) Is Nothing Then
If IsEmpty(Range("A1")) Then
MsgBox "Please input something under column A."
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.Undo
.EnableEvents = True
End With
Target.Offset(0, -1).Select
Exit Sub
End If
End If
End Sub
Eg, If I enter something in A1, B2 would accept a value which is not what I hope to achieve. It should be checking for cell in A2 whther it is empty.
Would be grateful for some advice on how to modify the code.
I attached a sample file for reference
In a column I have data like 2W, 2BM, 4W, 6BM, 10W and 15BM. Question is how can I total all W and all BM. Total for W = 2W + 4W+10W = 16W and total for BM = 2BM +6BM +15BM = 23BM.
What formula should I used to get totals
When using the replace rule in Excel, you can use "?" to represent a standard variable, e.g. if you had the text "Bottle 100g", and you set the replace rule as "?g", it would delete the "g" and the four characters before it, leaving you with "Bottle".
However, if I have lots of replace rules to make in a file, and I only want to eliminate the numerical values before a letter, how do I go about doing this?
For example, if I had the text "Dog food 10g", and I made a replace rule "??g", it would leave me with " food ". What I would really need, is a way of taking away the numeric values before the "g", which would give me "Dog food".
Therefore, is there a unique identifier for numeric and/or text values?
I need a left side padding for numeric values to keep them in 4 digits
ie 1 becomes 0001, 25 becomes 0025 and 345 becomes 0345. Following is the custom number format I tried and it fails.
[<10]"000"#;[<100]"00"#;[<1000]"0"#
I have the following code and I am really confused to, why its not reading numeric values from the code below:
Code:
Sub MG08Aug32()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim Dn As Range
Dim n As Integer
Dim Num As String
Set Rng = Range(Range("E2"), Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
[code]....
I desire the following output below:
97.25-97.50a
97.25
97.89-90.50a
97.89
89a
89
98a
98
The Macro below will not combine numeric values Just Text. I get a Type Mismatch Error When I open It. I need for this macro to run with Numeric Values 1,2,3,etc.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do with data validation, trying to stay away from vba on this... and it is probably very simple:
Cell A1, they can select Rice, Cheese, or Rabbit
I want to use custom data validation on B1, so that if A1 = Rabbit, they can only enter 1. If it is blank or the other two choices, they can enter 1 through 10.
Can I do that with data validation? I can't get any if thens to work in it.
I need a formula that I can put into a cell, I assume via data validation, and will prevent the use of any symbols other than a hyphen "-". Spaces are fine. The cell is being used to enter the 1st line of an address.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am trying to come up with an excel shee which can track the progress of a student on practice exams. This exam only has multiple choice questions, with answer choices A,B,C,D or E.
What I am looking for
1) I want to restrict the cell data to A,B,C,D or E (both cases). Note that I am not looking for a drop down/combo box. It would take the user to use one or two mouse clicks to drop down the list, and I am not in favor of that.
2) I would like this validation/formula to be applied to all the cells in a particular column.
3) Nice-to-have.
If the user enters a lower case letter, then I would like to convert to upper case.
I have a cell (A1) with a number in it. The number has 30 digits. I need a formula for (B1) that will enter the same number as A1 but restrict the number to 28 digits. Basically I need it to cut off the last 2 digits.

My colleague has a problem where he needs to Extract numbers from alphanumberic strings. Here is the formula he is using:
=MID(B7,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(1*MID(B7,ROW($1:$297),1)),0),COUNT(1*MID(B7,ROW($1:$297),1)))
It works if alphabetic and numbers are clustered together such as scs987
It works if alphabetic and numbers are not clustered together such as scs987dtg
Problem: It does not work when numbers are not clustered together such as scs987dtg1234

formula to add letters but with a numeric value. this is for a schdule sheet. where w would equal 7.5 and x would be 0.

reads the w and adds up ok but need to be able to put w for work and x for off days and still add the total hours
I have lists of room areas in metres squared, I extract the web based lists to excel: for example.
10.56 m2
14.23 m2
21.34 m2
How do i calculate the total of these amounts?
Is there a formular to remove the "m2"?
I have tried using =SUBSTITUTE(A1,"m2","") which deletes the "m2" from the cell, but then I can't use =SUM(A1:A3) as this totals the 3 cells as 0.
If i use =SUM(A1+A2+A3) the total is correct, but I have over 3000 cells in one column to add together.
Is there a formula or something to remove all instances of "m2" or "m3" from the whole sheet or another way i can calculate the totals.
I'm currently trying to create a rota timesheet which automatically takes shift patterns and deducts for unpaid breaks.
Basically if a shift is less than 4.5 hours long then no break is deducted
If the shift length is 4.5 - 6.5 hours then 15 mins are deducted
If the shift is longer than 6.5 hours then 30 mins are deducted.
The problem I currently have is all numeric values only are not being recognized on my password column. I have tried changing the cell formats but still problem still there. The program work if an alphanumeric value is declared as password. However if you simply indicate plain numeric values only as password, it returns incorrect values, it like it doesn;t recognize all numeric values. Also how can I make 0000 as a declared password? when I place 0000 on my password column, only one zero value is being displayed instead of four another thing if I happen to place 0123 only 123 is being displayed.
