View 9 RepliesI have this formula =COUNTA($A:$A)<=4 that limits amount of cells that can be populated in column A, I use data validation with "Allow costume" option and using that formula. It works fine from worksheet it displays the message when the limit is reached but it doesn't work when data is inputed/populated from userfrom, it allows userform to put more entries than set limit 4 in this case.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure a to enforce dual data validation on a single cell. That is, I need to restrict the user to entering only a decimal value, only if a particular other cell (say A2) is blank. To put it another way, if A2 is blank, the user can enter a decimal value, but if A2 is not blank, the user cannot enter anything. I can use Data Validation to enforce either the decimal restriction or the ISBLANK, but I'm not sure how to make them work together.

i.e. If I selected Smith in the 1st validation list then I would only like to see 'Paul' as an option in the 2nd list
First Name

I'm attempting to add even more specific validation to a userform, because the current validation still isn't stopping users from entering incorrect data. I currently have my coding set to if the user chooses the selection Indirect, they will be unable to enter any data within the Over/(Short) Amount box. Only now I have run into the issue where users are entering in the value Direct, and NOT entering any amounts within the Over/(Short) Amount box. I want to add two more things to my validation.
1 - I would like to force the user to have to enter in a value if the selection Direct is chosen, and
2 - I would like to set the box to only allow numerical values within the box to avoid the user from being able to type in the words Over or Short.
Currently this is the code I have in place:
[Code]......
I would also like to know if it's possible to add code that would autopopulate another box I will be adding to the userform that will show Over or Short with Short being in Red depending on whether the number is positive or negative that is entered into the amount box. I've attached an example of the userform the user sees when they are entering in data.

I have 3 text boxes from which at least one must contain a value. The sum of these 3 text boxes must be equal or smaller than the value in another text box. I have written the code but somehow my validation is not working always. Even though the sum is less than required I get the error. Something must be wrong with the code.
Code:
With frmManifest
If .txtNum1.Value > .txtRough.Value Then
MsgBox "Expected Recovery Value is greater than Rough Recovery Value. Please check your value.", vbExclamation
txtNum1.Value = ""
ElseIf .txtNum1.Value + .txtNum2.Value > .txtRough.Value Then
MsgBox "Expected Recovery Value is greater than Rough Recovery Values.

I have a input box in a userform that I am trying to force the user to put in a valid date(mm/dd/yyyy or mm/dd/yy which is changed to mm/dd/yyyy). The code is below. When an invalid date is inputed by the user, for example 'abc' I get the error: Compile error: Label not defined. I would like a message box to pop up showing the user that a valid date needs to be inputted. What is wrong with the code to throw the compile error?
Private Sub ErrorDateBox_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)

I have attached a sheet that I am working on. I want cell G1 to be less than or equal to 165. That cell contains a formula. If the formula takes the number to over 165 the validation is allowing it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a UserForm with Combo Boxes, List Boxes, Text Boxes etc. When the OK button is clicked I want it to ensure certain fields are not left blank and notify the user (see code below). This works great for the combo boxes but not for list boxes. It seems to skip over that code. In other words, in the code below, if a manager is not selected, it doesn't notify the user.
Private Sub OkButton_Click()
'Verify fields are not left blank

I have several textboxes on a UserForm that must have both dates and times to calculate a time difference. I need a way to validate input to [mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm].
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if it's possible to populate a data validation list based on what is selected from 4 validation lists?
for example:
On sheet1:
If 'Group1' is selected from data validation list1 then data validation list5 will show a list of all items from Group1. If 'Group2' is selected from data validation list2, then data validation list5 will display all the items in 'Group2'...
(I do not want to use a combo box for this)
I have a userform with 15 Combo boxes & I would like to make sure all the enabled combo boxes (some may be disabled) have a value > 0 (Zero) before exiting the userform.

I had some of values in Column A, B & C for ex: column A has brand name, column B has model name and Column C has sub_model name here i have a limited values i need to make it as drop down list but i had a problem with the below formula.
=IF($F$2=Sheet2!$H$2,al_v,IF($F$2=Sheet2!$H$3,am_v,IF($F$2=Sheet2!$H$4,au_v,IF($F$2=Sheet2!$H$5,be_v,
IF($F$2=Sheet2!$H$6,bmw_v,IF($F$2=Sheet2!$H$7,bg_v,IF($F$2=Sheet2!$H$8,cv_v,I
F($F$2=Sheet2!$H$9,ch_v,IF($F$2=Sheet2!$H$9,ch_v,"")))))))))
i need to add some more ifelse but the validation don't allows it.
I am setting up some validation on my userform. In this case if a user enters a date within two weeks of todays date they will not be able to proceed onto the next page.
Example: Todays date is 19/03/14. If a user enters 25/03/14 into 'TxtDate' they will not be able to proceed.

I'd like to create a drop down list in data validation from a column of data that contains numerous duplicates.
For example, let's say column A contained hundreds of transactions with either North, South, East and West, how could I create a drop down list in another cell that only had four selection options?
Essentially, I would like a user to be able to select a PUB from the Data Validation drop down in row 2 of the PUB RATES sheet so that the corresponding information in the DATA sheet autofills.
Currently, this works only for the first column under each PUB when selected and this fills across all 4 columns (rather than the respective information for each column filling).
Also, the Data Validation dropdown includes blanks which I would like to exclude.
I have used a Range Name for the Data Validation of each PUB so that these can be drawn from a separate sheet as I don't want all the DATA content on the same sheet as the PUB RATES content.
I want to load the actual data exist in the rows by selection value from the data validation list.
E.g I have two worksheet in one excel file. One has a data activities of persons with their name like two columns i have in which one exist the name of person and second exist the activities which they perform.
On the second sheet, i made a data validation list of all the person names
Now my requirement is, when i select a person name from the list, load all the data from the 1st sheet to second sheet. Is this possible without VB code, because I want to share it on the Google sheet with my boss, where VB sheet is not supposed to work.
Is there a way to use Data Validation that will pull data from a source list and also be able to type in additional data or just new data in same cell?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to learn the concepts, then apply them to a set of actual worksheets. I am trying to use named ranges from one worksheet in another worksheet. The named ranges need to expand. Although I can get the add data to a dummy worksheet to work within the same worksheet and I can even get a named range to work in the foreign sheet.
My problem is, when I can end up adding the additional data to the named range, it will only add one name. I have a number of named ranges that are referenced on various worksheets. The idea is, certain named ranges should be able to expand so I donft have to type them all in. (There could be hundreds of manufacturers or models.) I would also like them to be able to sort themselves after additional names are added to the named ranges. I would also like them to auto populate as well. I am using Excel 2003 SP3 (11.8307.8221). I have enclosed the file. Drop down lists (named ranges) are on the worksheet called DROP DOWN LISTS (LOCKED) **ITfS NOT CURRENTLY LOCKED**.
The data validation issues are on the worksheet called Rev7.0 Wood (Basic Sheet.) There are other instances to use these, but I hope to learn to do them myself on the other worksheets. Of particular interest is Column f.................
In column A I have a list of text. There are blank lines in between the cell that actually contain text. What I am trying to accomplish is create a validation list that will give me only the cells with text in them and ignore the blanks. For example in column A1:A7 I have the following text:
John
Mike
Tony
Jake
My validation list will return those names but will also give me the blanks in between the names.
Is there any way to ignore the blanks?
creating a spreadsheet for work which is almost working a treat Unfortunately, when a row of data moves from one sheet (Queries) to another (Archive), data validation is lost. Initially I thought I daidn't have it set up on the Archive sheet, but on moving it back to queries (by use of a macro) the validation is still not working. how to keep validation rules WITH data when it is moved please? I will upload my file when I get home from work....network restrictions prevent me doing it here!
View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to utilize data validation to create a drop down list from a list of 100 rows that changes monthly. Currently the list is set to draw data from A1:A100, however depending on the month, different cells will have data in them. What I don't like is currently the blank cells create gaps in the data validation drop down list and make it longer than it needs to be. Is there any way for excel to automatically just display cells with data in them in the drop down?
have created a list obx using data validation. My question is, is there a way to limit the data available on the list.
Example: sheet 1
A1 A2 A3
Address A
address p
address s Date
Sheet 2
has data validation list that consists of all of A1 a named range called "address". Everything works great.
I now want to be able to limit the available choices in the list depending on what cell the user is in
example: if user is in sheet2 a1, i only want them to be able to pick address that have an "A" or "p" in cell A2 on sheet 1
I tried to acomplish this using conditional formatting, I format my named range with different colors, but the colors do not carry over to the data validation list on sheet2.
I have limited ability with Excel, and I'm trying to create a database using the Data/Form menu choices. My problem is I only want specific data in two of the 20 or so fields. When I use Data/ Validation and direct data entry, I get exactly what I want, EXCEPT that the choices don't come up when I use the Data/Form. Users can enter anything they want, which defeats the purpose. I tried to build a user form to use for data entry, but I don't know how to get it to add items to a database or lookup items like the data/form process does. I also want to add a few macro buttons to the form to do other things.
I am pretty sure of a few things: 1) This should be pretty simple. Anyone knowing VBA would probably know how to do this in minutes. I found some code that did a simliar function, but couldn't interpret it to fit my needs, which brings me to 2) I'll never use VBA or complicated macros again. I don't have the need for them. This is just an isolated incident. Therefore, signing up for a class would be useless to me. I tried to locate some advanced Excel/VBA classes, hoping to find an instructor or even a student who would welcome a simple challenge, but there are none available.
about data validation drop downs.
I have 2 columns that need to be filled in once a name is selected from the data validation drop down. The data is to the right of the name in the source area.
Column A Column B Column C
1 Name 1 Skill 1 Phone #
2
3
4
This is the format, Every row in Column A has a Data Validation Drop Down, I need Column B and C filled with Data from the selected name from Column D (the data columns D-F)
Column D Column E Column F
1 Name 1 7 555-1111
2 Name 2 5 555-2222
3 Name 3 3 555-3333
4 Name 4 4 555-4444
So when I select say name 3...
Column A Column B Column C
1 Name 3 3 555-3333

I have used a database template from this site and changed it to suit my needs but I have a bit of a problem with some of the code. I know how to update the worksheet with the relevant userform text fields and in another project I did I have successfully sent userform text fields in the body of an email.
For this project I want to update the worksheet AND send an email at the same time. However, using the two pieces of code together is causing an error that I can't seem to solve (using my very limited vba knowledge!). The code I am working on is below and I have highlighted the line that is getting the error message. C

I want to add a validation list to a spread sheet using a named ranged. Easy enough so far, but if the range only has two values which are repeated several (hundred) times - Yes & No - how can i stop the value appearing on the list more than once?
I'm open to other suggestions with this such as using list boxes etc, just so long as i can get around it without having to maintain a seperate spreadsheet of the values i would like to appear in my list.
I have a valve in A1 of 5
I have a value in A2 of 1
I have a value in A3 of 2
In cell A4 using data validation
Min formula=IF(AND(A1=5,A4>=A3),)
Max formula IF(AND(A1=5,A4
