This seems like a very simple question but I can't find the answer that I'm looking for. I have a spreadsheet with a drop-down ( validation) list. Based on what the person selects, I then would like to have a message box to come that would direct them that certain cells then need to be filled in.
View 4 RepliesI have an excel file with many worksheets. I want to get a pop up message providing definitions of different subjects when they are entered from a drop down list in a specific range within a column to improve the users understanding of the subjects.
Worksheet 1
Range (where I want the pop up message to be valid): J85:J385
Subjects from drop down list in specified range: "x,y,z"
Pop up message: "Definitions of x,y,z"
Do I have to make a new module, or write the macro in the selected worksheet? What should be the settings of the macro (general, worksheet, declarations etc.)
I am new to excel vba. I want to show a pop-up message when user tries to save the workbook keeping cell(1,3) blank.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat i am trying to do:
1) check whether any value in column J, rows 7-18 is changed,
2) check whether the value is above the value in col H, respective row multiplied by 1,25,
3) if point 3 true, clear the contents of cells E24, F24, and show up a messagebox,
4) run another macro by pressing button in cell C24 in order to fill the E24 and F24 cells again.
What happens: Points 1-3 work perfectly well, but then i have a problem in point 4 - the messagebox of point 3 appears again and the work of macro of point 4 interrupts showing an "Application-defined or object-defined error".
The file with the code is attached : Example.xlsm
In a range of cells (e.g. B26-B40) I have names (first name and second name or first initial and second name). This data is carried from sheet 1 to the second sheet via formula. Some cells may be blank as well.
A VB code to display a message when the user changes the name in any of these cells with data or adds a new name to a cell that is blank, in sheet2
I have a file that the user selects and when they enter a value (in this case, a job title) into the input box, my macro looks for the value in that file. If the value is there, a msgbox pops up that lets the user know that the value was found and it then goes to that cell, displaying in the next msgbox the cell address of where the value was found. I already have the code down for this part of the macro.
My problem is what happens if the file has the same value more than once. Ideally, I'd like to display a message box that returns the addresses of both cells with the same value and then prompts the user to select one of these values as the value they are looking for. I am not sure if a msgbox or a msgbox and then an input box are most appropriate for this situation. Once the user does this, the macro continues. The rest of my macro is built on the cell where this value is, so it is crucial that I make sure there is at least one value selected. Any help is much appreciated. I have included a sample worksheet of what this situation might look like.
Here is the code I presently have for this part of my macro.
Sub GetOpenFileName()
strFind = InputBox("Please enter the job title you wish to search for:", "Search for job title in this file")
If strFind = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
With Sheets(strSheetsMainCompProfile)
If WorksheetFunction. CountIf(Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(100, 100)), "*" & strFind & "*") = 0 Then
MsgBox strFind & " cannot be found on this sheet"
Else
How do I combine these formulas for one cell?
=IF(H16170,"Check your Entry","")
=IF(I16215,"Check your Entry","")
=IF(J16190,"Check your Entry","")
=IF(K16240,"Check your Entry","")
If any of these four cells are entered incorrectly I just want the message displayed. I put this formula in the cell I want the message displayed:
=IF(H16170,"Check your Entry",IF(I16215,"Check your Entry",IF(J16190,"Check your Entry",IF(K16240,"Check your Entry",""))))
That works except "Check your Entry" is diplayed until all four cells are filled. I don't want the message displayed with a zero value.
2007 Excel spreadsheet. My company currently shares ONE spreadsheet to generate new project numbers (Shown below). My issue is once a new number is assigned, it is supposed to be entered into our accounting software but that doesn't appear to be happening in some cases.
Is there a way that a pop up message can appear when column G is populated (Entered by)? Something like, "please be sure to enter this XYZ".
I need to check a range of cells (B4:B35) and see if any of the contents are less than a specified cell (M1) and then show a message, (the message part I can do). I have tried using For Each but I then get the message for every cell that is below the specified cell (which in theory could be all of them). I have also tried using an If Any statement but didnt work.
View 5 Replies View RelatedUsers will either accept the numerical entry that is in any cell, or enter a different number or Zero.
I have a few users that have not found the Delete Button, therefore they are typing a Space and hitting Enter, for Zero (nothing).
This is causing alot of problems because there are formulas that work off of these cells, and can't because the "data type is different"
I recorded the below (and also tried the commented out part) but it is not doing what I wish.
The ActiveCell will give the MsgBox after I return to that cell (if I do), but I need the Msg to appear after I leave the cell instead.

Is it possible to display a dialog box or msgbox that doesnt have an OK button ?

I have a spreadsheet where I have input all of my technicians service calls and installations.
In Column C Row 5 and up to the max I assume because I'm not sure how many rows I would use in a year, I have an estimated completion date.
In Column D and the same Rows as above I will input the Actual Completion date.
What I want is if the current date is past the estimated completion date (Column C) and there is no date entered in the Actual Completion date (Column D) I would like a MsgBox to pop up saying "Please enter a new completion date on row _"
"_" would be which ever row the estimated completion date has expired without an actual completion date being entered.
I am close to finishing making up an Excel tool that takes data input from the user, does some analysis, accepts further input then prepares a report. My coding skills are not what you would call high level, so my code could probably be more efficient, but it works (well, except for this issue).
The tool opens a main multipage userform for data entry, then allows the user to view the data in the spreadsheet tables with the ability to call separate userforms to modify, delete or add records. The user then calls another userform to do some calculations and enter the appropriate results from a separate piece of software, then presses a button to prepare a report. All userforms are called from buttons in a separate userform (I'm not proficient enough and haven't had enough time to create a new ribbon in excel). At various times, messageboxes are used to convey information or prompt the user to do something - these are all simple ones with either only OK button, or OK and cancel buttons.
My problem is that when userforms are called, they sometimes appear but are totally blank (white) - see image.
blank_form.jpg
Clicking anywhere on the screen or pressing any key will bring them up properly and they seem to function normally thereafter.
In addition, the messageboxes sometimes do not appear - pressing any key will make them do so. Other than this they function normally.
The frustrating thing is that these problems occur inconsistently. I can add or change some code and it stops happening, then after testing (entering data and using the tool) starts happening again. Sometimes it just stops happening with no apparent reason, but starts again later after fixing some code or just entering some data. Not all userforms are affected at any one time and not all messageboxes have the problem at any one time.
The problem seems to occur in those subroutines where I access or manipulate data from other sheets before showing the userform or message box (but in most instances, I need to do this manipulation in order to present the correct information in the userform).
Some thought processes I have had, and unsuccessfully tried to fix the problem with (some coming from various web forums):
I thought I may have done "Application.ScreenUpdating = False" without resetting it to true, so I commented out all the "Application.ScreenUpdating = False" statements - problem stopped for a bit then started again.
Some of the userforms were modal, and even though they were not showing were still loaded so thought that this may be impacting on other userforms/message boxes, so changed all userforms to non modal - still had the problem when I opened the tool again.
Tried using "RePaint" and "DoEvents" at various points in the code after opening a userform or message box - no change.
I have tried exporting a form and its code, removing from the tool, then re-importing it. No success.
Tried the tool on another computer and the same problem occurred.

I have a userform with a combobox (cmbSearch) , a textbox (textbox1) and a listbox (listbox1)....and a commandbutton (cmbFind). This userform is used for searching records in my worksheet....where user selects a "Search By" category from the combobox and then enters relevent text search criteria in the textbox....and all the search results are shown in the listbox. This part works fine untill someone tries to search a "non-existent" record. e.g. a customer name thats not in the database and it gives an error. I would incorporate in my code to have a Message box pop up on these type of searches saying "textbox1.value Not Found!" insetad of error message.
