I am trying to make validation so a textbox in a form can only accept only letters. At the moment however i can only seem to stop it entering numbers on its own, i cant stop it from accepting letters and numbers. here is the code so far. (please try keep the code simple as possible i have seen more diffuclt solutions but they are to difficult)
Private Sub LetterVal()
'Validation to ensure only Letters may be entered into the text box.
If IsNumeric(Textbox1) Then
Textbox1.BackColor = &HFF&
MsgBox ("Only letters aloud in field")
Else
Textbox1.BackColor = &H80000005
End If
End Sub
I have a user form to get some input from the user and want to make sure that in some textboxes user should be able enter only text i.e A to Z or a-z no numbers or special charecters.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim RegEx As Object Dim Strng As String
Strng = CStr(Me.TextBox1.Value) Set RegEx = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp") With RegEx .Pattern = "^[A-Z]{2}/d+/d{2}$" If Not .test(Strng) Then MsgBox "Invalid Format: TextBox1" End With Set RegEx = Nothing End Sub ..............................
I have a TextBox on a UserForm in which the user should be entering a series of coma separated zip codes. (12345, 54321, 15243, ...) The number of zips to be entered is variable.
I would like to validate entry as the user types. My first thought is to use the change event and tell it that only numbers, comas, and spaces are allowed, but that doesn't do anything about ensuring 5 digits per zip or having a space after each coma.
Is there a Format function that would allow for a variable number of zips? What else might work?
I have a userform used to input vehicle information. To prevent any errors, is it possible for data Validation to be set in a listbox to accept upto 7 characters (both numbers and letters)
I have a text box in which date will be entered. I am using the following code to validate and format the date.
Code: Private Sub txtTDate_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) If IsDate(txtTDate.Value) Or txtTDate.Value > Date Then sDate = DateSerial(Year(Date), Month(Date), Day(Date))
[Code]...
I expected it to return error if the date entered is less than Current(System's) date. This is not working.
I have a useform with about 30 Text boxes for user input.
when the user exits the box I want a validation check routine.
I need to verify 4 things.
1. That the entry is numeric.
2. Thew at the entry is above the minimum.
3. The Entry if below the maximum.
4. Number of decimal places.
Since I have 30 boxes and will be adding more in the future I need a Subroutine. Here is what I have (I know it does not work - I need help with the syntax.
I am trying to validate two things for one TextBox and they somehow contradict each other:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() TextBox_today.Value = Date TextBox_today.Text = Format(TextBox_today.Text, "dd mmm yy") End Sub
Private Sub TextBox_expiry_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) With Me.TextBox_expiry If IsDate(.Text) Then .Text = Format(.Text, "dd mmm yy") Me.Label_expiry.Caption = "expiry as date:" Else Cancel = True.................................
Also, what other date formats I could use besides "dd mmm yy?"
i am using this code which was provided by a kind ozgrid member
If Not IsNumeric(Me.txtLength.Value) Then MsgBox "Use numbers only", vbCritical, "Numbers Only" With txtLength .SelStart = 0 .SelLength = Len(txtLength) End With
unfortunately it will not allow me to use a decimal point EG: 2.5. allow a deciaml point?
I am trying to validate a textbox (txtCode) on my userform to accept the following type of entry: AB/123/07. The centre set of numbers will change & could also be four or five digits long. I have searched & found several threads but none that solve my problem.
I want one procedure that will validate the CURRENT textbox (not named by name, to allow for the procedure to be included in the change event of several different textboxes), to see if it is numeric (decimal places allowed) in Excel 2007.
I followed the instructions here: {url}, which describe exactly what I want to do. So I put the final procedure listed on that page (the dynamic validation code) into the private module of the user form object as listed below:
Private Sub pipes_Change()
OnlyNumbers
End Sub
Private Sub OnlyNumbers() 'This procedure checks to see if the value 'of the current textbox is a number or not
If TypeName(Me.ActiveControl) = "TextBox" Then
If Not IsNumeric(.Value) And .Value <> vbNullString Then
MsgBox "Sorry, only numbers are allowed."
.Value = vbNullString
End If
End With
End If
End Sub
I then ran the form and typed a number into the "pipes" textbox that had been validated. A compile error is thrown: "Invalid or unqualified reference", highlighting the ".Value" portion of IsNumeric. I tried to remove certain parts of the code, such as the IF statement and the "And .Value <> vbnullstring", but nothing works. I have a feeling it is because this code was created for Excel 2003 (though I'm not certain).
I'm using the following code to try to ensure a value is entered into a text box, but when I click over to the next text box skipping the first one entirely, I don't receive any message indicating the previous box is empty. I'm trying to make it so certain fields are required and others are optional. Here's the code I'm currently using:
This is the code where you click on a cell that has been input from Data Validation, it gets a pop up textbox showing the text input. One drawback I see here is that when the sheet is protected, one needs to tick 'Edit Objects' in 'Allow all users of this worksheet to:' window to get the textbox to pop-up otherwise no textbox is shown.
So this leads to the accessed user to have the ability of deleting and moving the textbox in the protected spreadsheet. Do you have any idea to Protect the sheet, Get the textbox to pop up, Disallow user to delete/move the textbox.
As part of a UserForm I am Validating and Formatting in one pass. The problem I'm having is that when the Validation fails, I get the error message, and the focus moves on to the next text box.
I want to trap the user in a loop until they have acceptable data
My problem with fractional numbers in a textbox. But I still have issues. This time I'm uploading the workbook in question. click on the word "AutoVIB" which will bring up the user form. Then go to the Screens sheet and try the first slider that's not labeled. This is the slider that I've instituted the code that you so graciously supplied. It does display fractions but now has a very peculiar behavior. The other sliders that I've left coded as before work fine in that they function properly.
I have a TextBox on a multipage on a userform. When used, entries are trapped by
Private Sub tbxCrew_Change() Call OnlyNumbers
The code then successfully shifts to the following
Private Sub OnlyNumbers() If TypeName(Me.ActiveControl) = "TextBox" Then
At this point, it decides that TypeName(Me.ActiveControl) = "MultiPage", not "TextBox" and skips over to End Sub allowing me to enter both text and numbers in the TextBox.
I have a VBA user form that asks for user's input. The form has 3 textbox. I would like to check for the entry & make sure that it's numeric & not null. If it's not numeric or null, I'd like to display a warning message & highlight the textbox & ask for entry again.
Here's what I have but it's not really working. The warning message will come up but the next textbox is highlighted:
Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
If Not IsNumeric(Me.TextBox1.Value) Then MsgBox "Please Enter Only Numeric Values" TextBox1.SetFocus End If
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox2_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
If Not IsNumeric(Me.TextBox2.Value) Then MsgBox "Please Enter Only Numeric Values" TextBox2.SetFocus End If
I have the following code in a user form, attached to a data field that the user should fill. This code should alert the user if he enters a negative number i.s.o. a positive (and vise versa). Due language related issues, it is quite possible that the user will enter (by mistake) a negative sign but it will be at the end (500-) and the user will not notice this mistake. For some reason, my code does not pick up on this, and does not pop up the error message. Therefore, I decided that I need to check if the value entered by the user also contains a - at the end of the string. This, I believe, will take care of the problem.
In excel, I would simply enter a formula with Mid and Len (to check if the last character is -) , but I dont know how to implement it in my code.
Sub txt_sum_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) 'Verify that a negative sign was added for expenses With Me.txt_sum Select Case cbo_act Case "Expense", If Me.txt_sum.Value > 0 Then MsgBox "Number must be negative" End If Case "Income" If Me.txt_sum.Value < 0 Then MsgBox "Number must be positive" End If End Select End With End Sub
Is there a way to see if a textbox is blank.. what I mean is, there may be some spaces in the text box which make it seem that there is something in the Textbox but all they are, are blank spaces.. no numbers in otherwords..
On a userform I have a textbox7 to enter in only the last 4 digits of the persons shop phone #. I have it coded that if the textbox isn't empty, it will put the required extension "X-" in front of it to identify it as a phone extension. If the cell is empty, it will remove it so it doesn't put the X- in the database without a phone #.
Finally the problem, if there are spaces in textbox7, no numbers, it will think that something is in there and put X- .. this messes up the database.
How do I check the textbox to see if it has numbers in there.. This is my code now...
' If TextBox7 is empty Then Phone = Blank If TextBox7.Value = "" Then PhoneC = " " Else ' Preps Phone number with X- for extension Fourdigit = TextBox7 Plus = "X-" PhoneC = Plus + Fourdigit End If
I have a textbox in an excel userform and want the display to be formatted. When "9.1" is entered "9.100" shows either before or after going to the next textbox on userform. The code below is not working.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() txtWaste = Format(Me.txtWaste, "00.000") End Sub
I have set up a form which requires one textbox to have a decimal followed by four numbers (ex .5780) and another which requires two numbers, a decimal, then two more numbers (ex 57.80). how this can be accomplished? I am new to Visual Basic coding!
A text box on a Userform inputs numbers to a cell in a worksheet. I want the number to appear in the text box formatted #,##0.00 However, if I include the line
in either the csDepositTextBox_Change or _AfterUpdate events, it causes the number to be stored as text in the worksheet. Curiously I can put the code in the corresponding event for another textbox and it does not corrupt the formatting.
I currently have cell B3 in a worksheet - able to except 2 data entries.
The user should enter either OPQ or BOT followed by numbers. How do i ensure that they only enter OPQ (O - Letter Not Number) followed by numbers, or BOT (O - Letter Not Number) followed by numbers.
i.e. OPQ87654321 NOT 0PQ87654321 or BOT12345678 NOT B0T12345678. The information has to be entered manually and not via drop down list as each number is unique to the OPQ or BOT.
I have a file which contain lots of TAX Details of different country which we need to validate manually do we have any macro to validate them according to there countries
I want to create data validation so that the first 2 digits=PS and the next 4 digits will be numbers. I have tried a few things but I cant get anything to work?
Is it possible to force a cell entry (using Data Validation) to either a whole number or a value? In other words, I would like the data in a cell to be either a whole number between 10,000 and 20,000 or "N/A". I can do it with VBA, but Data Validation (if it's possible) would be better.
I am looking for a solution for my problem: I work for a bus company, I need a spreadsheet where I will record the bus numbers into a sheet but I only want to be able to add the number once ie. error if duplicate bus entered. Also the numbers will change from time to time, old buses sold when new ones arrive. I have the following code that someone helped me with wich works fine provided you don't have to change the numbers.
I want to use Data Validation on a cell (H1) to only allow the value entered to be values between values in E1 and D1. E1 is a negative number.I tried naming E1 & D1 as a range (valid) and then did custom validation formula is =valid, but that allows me to put in anything.
