Jun 19, 2012I'm trying to write a macro that will not allow a number to be zero. I have a macro that references a cell that if it is input to zero will create a loop that goes on forever. The thing is this cell will never have to be zero, so is there a way that I can write a macro that if this cell is zero, it gets reset to its previous value?

View 4 Replies View RelatedExcel 2007 :: Restrict Cell Input Based On Another Cell Value
Jan 22, 2013I 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

Restrict Cells Text To X Characters Based On Corresponding Cell
Apr 14, 2009I'm am trying to restrict the length of data that can be entered into a cell based on a drop down in that row. I have achieved this, but what I need to be able to do is use data validation to restrict the cell length to one of two values - so for example the length can only be 6 OR 9 characters long.
I cant see how to do this. At present the best I can do is rectrict to between 6 and 9 - but this would allow 7 and 8 which is not allowed.

Move Between Input Cells Only
Apr 6, 2008I have designed a form for my wife to use in school to help teach fractions and decimals.
The children will enter the numerator into a cell (say D2) and the denominator into another cell (say D6) and the decimal equivalent is then displayed to 2 decimal places in a third merged cell (say C8 - E8).
What I would like to do is this:
When the worksheet opens, the only cell that I want the children to be able to enter data into is the first cell (ie D2). When they enter a value (say 1 for the numerator) I'd like the return key to move the data entry to the next cell (which is D6). After this, when they have entered another value (say 3 - they are invesigating thirds for example), I'd like the return key to move to the next numerator cell (which is H2), then denominator cell (H6) and so on.
How do I do this? I have never created forms or macros and I suspect that this is how to do this.
For the first set of fractions that they are investigating, thirds, I'd like to limit their data entry in the denominator cells only (D6, H6, L6, P6, etc) to 3 and reject any other number. Later in the worksheet, they will be investigating quarters, fifths and so on.
How do I do this? I don't want then to use any list or drop-down, simply to type a value into the cell and it be accepted (if it is a 3 when investigating thirds) if it is correct or simply ignored if it isn't. Is this possible?
way, especially if it involves anything complicated like macros. Being active on lots of forums it is quite depressing when I see that someone has answered a poster's question but the answer seems to either assume a high level of knowledge or tends to assume that certain steps are taken without actually stating them.
Comparison Of Cells With Text Input
May 15, 2014I am working on Excel file with names and I would like to have a possibility to check if all characters from one cell are mentioned in another one.
The background of the problem is that the names are provided in different types (e.g. O.M.Izgala, M.O.Izgala, or only Izgala) so I believe I should first remove any spaces, dots etc. to have clear continuous text.
Finding a formula (if any exist), which can check if all digits from one cell are in the second relevant cell regardless the order of the digits. I would like to show you short example:
name needs to be checked cell to compare expected results
OMIZGALA MIZGALA no (as O is not in the relevant cell)
OMIZGALA MIZGALAO yes (as all digits are mentioned in the relevant cell but in different order)
OMIZGALA MOIZGALA yes (as all digits are mentioned in the relevant cell but in different order)
if it can work in Excel.

Aug 16, 2008There are a series of input cells in a protected worksheet and when the user hits an enter, tab or arrow key, the selection cycles through them in order. The cycle also restarts when the mouse clicks one of the cells out of order. After I switch worksheets and return to the first worksheet with the code, first it says there is a "Compile Error: Sub or Function Not Defined" and the code "Call SetKeys" in Sheet1 is hilighted. When I ignore that and stop the debugger, there is a "Run-time error '13' Type mismatch" and the code line "If arrIndex > 0 And arrIndex < UBound(arr) Then" is highlighted.
My question is: why doesn't the code work after I switch worksheets? especially given that it works perfectly before I switch worksheets. (ie the file opens on sheet 1 and everything is perfect, click sheet 2 tab and back to sheet 1 - nothing works) I also have yet to figure out why it seems to be necessary to post the same code in both ThisWorkbook and Sheet1.

Input The Name And Have That Data Populate A Different Ten Cells
Jul 13, 2006how 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.
