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
What 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
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
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 RelatedThis 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 Replies View RelatedI have this VBA code running in cell A1 which gives you a yes/no message box when you try to change the selected cell. I am trying to have the Target.Address = 'Specific Header Cell in Table' but I am not able to develop the code to do so. Here is the code:
[Code] .....
The main reason I have this message box is to prevent the user from changing the cell in the table because the titles in the tables are linked to macros. If they are changed, the macros will not run. Also, I am aware there are codenames for the excel sheets in a workbook. If there are codenames for the header titles in an excel table, I could link my macros to the codenames. As a result, I would not need this macro for the message box.
I have the following code pasted into the worksheet module which used to work fine but no longer does. I didn't touch the code, it just stopped working.
Private Sub WorkSheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Select Case Target.Address
Case "$A$16"
Select Case Target
Case "Custom Color 1": Call CustomColorInput1
Case "Custom Color 2": Call CustomColorInput1
Case "Custom Color 3": Call CustomColorInput1
Case "Custom Color 4": Call CustomColorInput1
Case Else:
End Select
Case "$A$17"
Select Case Target
Case "Custom Color 1": Call CustomColorInput2
Case "Custom Color 2": Call CustomColorInput2
Case "Custom Color 3": Call CustomColorInput2
Case "Custom Color 4": Call CustomColorInput2
Case Else:
End Select
Case "$A$18"
CustomColorInput 1-6 are the same except they input data into different cells F16-F21.
When I attach any of the CustomColorInput macros to a button it works fine. When I try to call it from the worksheet module, the data input box pops up but the data doesn't get entered into the cell. When I try to step through the CustomColorInput macros using F8, the input box pops up, I enter data and press ok. Then I continue with F8 and the debugger jumps to a custom function that I entered (below), which is not called for and is in no way related to the code.
Function PullAfterLast(rCell As Range, strLast As String)
PullAfterLast = Mid(rCell, InStrRev(rCell, strLast) + 1, 256)
End Function
When I close VBA, the data that I typed into the data input box is in the correct cell.
So basically, I'm getting three different responses from the offending code depending on how I call it up. Can anyone tell me what's going on?
More generally, in this and previous occasions, I've had problems with macros that cease to work for no reason that is apparent to me. What are some things that would cause a macro to stop working, without actually changing the code (other than the obvious, like referring to names or worksheets etc. that don't exist anymore)?
I want to show which rows of data have been changed by incrementing a revision attribute. For example, if a user changes the contents of a cell anywhere between rows 2 and 13 and col 1 and 9 then the revision attribute in col 10 would increment from 1 to 2 (for the affected row). If another change affects the same row then the rev attribute would increment to 3, and so forth. I don't care which cell was changed only that something on that row was touched.
I thought the CHANGE event was a dead ringer for triggering some VBA code to control this but, since part of the change event code writes the revision value, this triggers another CHANGE event causing an endless loop until something (??) kicks in and stops it after 220 iterations. Is there a way to inhibit the change event just prior to updating the cell containing the version attribute?
Rather than post the code here I have submitted the workbook that includes the whole setup and code. I should also mention I looked at all the other worksheet events and I do not see any "triggers" that would fire each time a cell content is changed. As a side note, is there a way to step into the code of a change event? F8 does nothing.
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.

I am trying to write a function that will compare the text of cell "A2" to the text of cell "B2" and display cell "A2"'s text characters that didnt match from cell "B2" in column C. Can anyone help me out with writing this formula?

Is there a quick Macro I could use to rearrange text in a cell. For example our organisation list all the departments in an unconsistant way and it makes finding the departments hard using A-Z. For example some department will say "Department of ...", "Dept of ...", Division of ..." or "Div of ...". (Obviously excluding the quotes).
What I wanted to know is this. If you highlight the range you wish to work with, could you use a message box to ask you what text you wish to edit and then automatically search the range and make the changes.
For example search for "Dept of " (note I would need to keep the space after of otherwise I would have leading spaces) so that "Dept of ABC" becomes: "ABC, Dept of" and say "Division of XYZ" becomes "XYZ, Division of"
I want to be able to specify inside the message the word that is in cell F6. So it would say "You Must Give A Reason For The Amount Of Mgr Voids For Shawn"... shawn being the name in cell F6.
If Range("F9").Value > 50 Then
MyInput = Application.InputBox("You Must Give A Reason For The Amount Of Mgr Voids For This Employee")
If MyInput = "" Then End
If MyInput = False Then End
ActiveSheet. Unprotect ("13792468")
ActiveSheet.Range("F9").AddComment
Range("F9").Comment.Visible = False
Range("F9").Comment.Text Text:="" & Chr(10) & (MyInput) & Chr(10) & ""

What is the simplest way to display a "Please Wait.." message during the execution of a macro.
Tried the WshShell.Popup but did not work.
we are having a excel sheet which has data in it.
ex:
In sheet3:
D |F
Columns: Logic |Field
Rows: market |business
proposed |consumer
In sheet2:
A |B
List of sheet | Field
sheet3 |business
sheet4 |other
In Sheet1:
A |B
List of sheet |Field
sheet3 |consumer
When a user points to the particular cell(f2,f3) in column F of sheet3, it should display a message weather the data in particular cell is in which sheet( Sheet1 or sheet2 or not specified) and hyperlink must be displayed. when we click on the hyperlink it should go to the data particular row of the sheet.(Sheet1 or sheet2)..
I need to refer the LAST ROW OF COLUMN "D" to appear in the message box for the below code along with " Receipt number" which is in Sheet2.
Sub saveit()
With Sheets(2)
r = .Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row + 1
InvN = Cells(15, 4).Text
If Range("c18") = "" Or Range("c20") = "" Or Range("c20") = "" Or Range("c24") = "" Then
MsgBox "Please fill all required fields", vbCritical, " Missing data"
Exit Sub
End If...............................
Is it possible to display a dialog box or msgbox that doesnt have an OK button ?
i.e I want a message that comes up on the screen that says "Links Updating...Please Wait" which then automatically changes to "Links Sucessfully Updated" on completion...I dont want the macro to be interrupted by the msgbox/dialog....
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 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.

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 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.
How to show via a message box the difference between rows 2 and 3 on a worksheet (row 1 is headers).
In the message box per the attached workbook, i should only see something like the following....
Drawing Rev was A is now B
Planner was Joe is now Fred
The attached example is abbreviated, the actual data will span multiple columns (approx. 30 - 40)
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.
Private Sub cmbFind_Click()
Set c = Range("a65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
'write userform entries to database
Dim DataSH As Worksheet
Set DataSH = Sheets("ComplaintData")
With DataSH
.Range("L1").Value = cmbSearch.Value
.Range("L2").Value = TextBox1.Text
.Range("N1"). CurrentRegion.Clear
.Range("A1").CurrentRegion. AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, criteriarange:=.Range("L1:L2"), copytorange:=.Range("N1")
End With
lstSearch.RowSource = vbNullString
lstSearch.RowSource = "outdata"

I have a excel file that tracks completion rates and has lots of formulas but there is one that I cannot figure out.
I want a formula that will display "not completed in time" (for example) if completion isn't 100% by the planned completion date. The problem I have is that I want to have a record of this and if the completion rate becomes 100% after the planned completion date it will no longer show "not completed in time". Is there a way to setup a formula that will show data in a cell if the formula has EVER met certain criteria.
I have a cell (A1) that is referenced to another cell in the workbook ('Sheet1!'B1) by an if statement. I then have another cell that I want the value to show up if there is a value in (A1), If there not a value (Shown in A1). i do not want to show the value. Howeverwith the formula I have. I can delete the (A1) reference value (which shows nothing) and replace if with either a (0 or delete the contents of the cell and it works.
A1=IF('Sheet1'!AF15="","",'Sheet1'!AF15)
B1=IF(AND(A$1>0,E108>0),(D108&E108),"")

I need a macro where user choose a value from validation, automatically lock the other cells and should show an error message.
Here is what I am looking for. User will choose Yes or no from cell H15 validation. If user choose "NO" from the validation then all other cells has to be locked in the workbook automatically except Cell H15 and a msg box needs to appear stating: "Select Yes from the validation".

Below is a macro I recorded to help copy 'Paste Special - values only' data between two spreadsheets that have different colour and conditional formatting in cells.
However, if this is run and there is no data to paste, it throws up the End and Debug error.
Any chance that someone knows that if there is no data sitting on the Clipboard, then a msg box would appear saying "Please select the data you require to be copied" in the message box.

I have text in one cell and I need a text box to show the text from that cell.
For example, if I have text in B2, on a text box I put the forumla =B2. The issue I'm experiencing is that the text box cuts off the text. There's no logic to why it cuts off the text, it's not limited to number of characters and I've played about with the margins and wrap texting, etc, all to no avail.
I've attached a photo of the worksheet to show what I'm experiencing. [URL] ..........
