Using Input Box To Prompt For Name
Jun 17, 2008
I've not used Input Box function before. When a user opens my workbook I want to check whether a named range ("Name") is blank and, if it is, to prompt the user to type their name in an Input Box which then returns that value to the named range. This is what I have tried but I don't think I am referring to the named range correctly,
Dim strName
If IsNull("Name") Then
strName = InputBox("Please enter your name", "Name Required", "1")
Range("Name") = strName
End If

I run a macro to open multiple workbooks and run a macro within those workbooks. All worked fine until a message/input box was included in the individual workbook macros [that I cannot change] to notify the single workbook user when the macro had successfully completed and prompts for an “ok” input.
Can I get my macro to ignore this prompt and not wait for an input – I am currently clicking “ok” everytime it comes up on screen. Have searched help and forum but nothing jumps out.

I have eventually got my Worksheet up and running but now im trying to make things a little easier to complete. The plan is when the Engineer is on site he has to open the Excel sheet to check the tests he has to complete and then mark the results. this is fine but for vaildation he has to sign everthing etc... i made it easier so they only had to fill in one box and it would complete the rest but this seems to get missed more often than not.
SOOO
i want a Screen to pop up when some one opens my excel that says Enter name and contact details. then they submit this which updates the spread sheet with this information and then the engineer can continue as normal.

I have several hundred workbooks with multiple worksheets(15-35) that I am trying to tidy up, so the data can be entered into a database. Its my first attempt at VBA and between the forum and macro recorder I made an attempt which is below. I just can't seem to get over the last part. I have searched the forum but can't seem to find any relevant information. I have a couple of questions.
1. I need to be able to run this macro over all the worksheets in the workbook, so how can I loop it? All the worksheets are named differently i.e. peoples names.
2. In my code I have inserted 4 columns. These columns will be the only thing common between all the worksheets. A1 to A30 = Week number, B1 to B30 = Shift Number, C1 to C30 = Supervisor number. Column D is blank. I'd like to be able to be prompted to enter these 3 numbers at the start if possible? Can this be done in such a way as you are only prompted the once and not on each worksheet? I picked 30 rows because the amount of rows in each worksheet varies but never exceeds this. The end of my code "Delete rows where cell B is blank" will delete any excess data where 30 rows of week numbers etc are not needed.

Sometimes data comes in with various columns that need Concatenate.
I need VBA to prompt user to input which columns to use inside the formula:
Code:
'Place formula into A2
Range("A2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=COCATENATE(D2&"_"&E2)"
'VBA to copy down formula until last row In my macro, D & E will vary, is there any way to make excel ask which two??

I would like to create an spreadsheet that prompts me to input data into a cell (eg; 'C1' - 'Quantity Ordered') as soon as another cell on the same row becomes populated (eg; 'A1' - 'Item Code'). I need this function to apply for several rows (25 rows in total), so that if data is then entered into cell 'A2', I get a prompt to enter data into 'C2', all the way up to a prompt for data in cell 'C25' when cell 'A25' is populated.
As it is imperative that I never forget to populate the relevant cells; I would also like to 'enforce' the prompt - perhaps by preventing the worksheet from being saved until the relevant cells have had data entered into them, or perhaps by using some kind of form, rather than a messagebox.

I have a cell (C16) that has a date format (such as 08/28/2014). I want the value of this cell to be "N/A" when cell C7 is "No". When C7 is "Yes", I want Excel to prompt the user to enter a date for C16 when they click on C16. The formula for cell C7 is =IF(C3="No","No","Yes"). That's where the value of C7="No" comes from. If I didn't need a date for the value of C16, the formula would be something like =IF(C7="No","N/A","______"). I have just recently started trying Excel macros due to a tool

I am looking to allow a user to enter a unique value when a drop down value is captured from a list i.e 'Other' (Possibly a pop up box), then I require this value to be hidden and calculated along with others to show the average (The average calculation obviously wouldn't be in the same cell).

My new Time in Motion sheet is coming along nicely with some snazzy programmed Command Buttons to fill data into another sheet.
One of my buttons is for 'other' tasks, so I'd like to programme a button to prompt first for a number of minutes (e.g. 30), and then a brief description (e.g. Meeting) and input the data side-by-side in 2 columns on sheet 2.
This is what I have for my other single-entry buttons, so what would I need to add?
Dim ans As String
ans = InputBox("Case reference:", "Data Entry")
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("F" & Sheets("Sheet2").Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1).Value = ans

I am trying to create a macro which gives me an input box. I need to enter 2 numbers into the input box. It would be as follows:
Input Box Msg 1 - "What is your labor cost?" (NUM1)
Input Box Msg 2 - "What is your productivity rate?" (NUM2)
Then I need the macro to take this info and enter it into a formula which changes according to the row which you are on. (I need the macro to work based on which ever cell I currently have selected). The formula would be this if I currently had a cell on row 10 selected:
=(NUM1*(NUM2*$H10))/$H10
So, if I currently had cell L10 selected, and I ran the macro and put 100 in for "NUM1" and 10 for "NUM2" and my sheet had 20 in cell H10, then the macro would enter the number 1,000 into cell L10. If I had L500 selected, then the macro would enter the final number into cell L500 based on what value H500 contained.

I am just starting to get my feet a little damp with VBA and I am trying to make a macro that will act whenever any text is entered in any cell within a 3x3 square. Whenever any text is entered in any of those cells I would like it to enter a text ( "X" ) in a cell which is specified by a cell in the spreadsheet (this cell will output which cell the macro should write the text in in this format "A:1" or "C:3"). How can I make the program act only in reaction to the user entering thier text, and also, how can I get the macro to read A:1 and enter the text into that specific cell? Any help would be so awesome, the book I have is really difficult to navigate.

In column L on sheet1, I want the user to type in a number. That number will be the number of recommendations that need to be done.
Once "L" is populated I would like the user to be prompted to fill out
-what the recommendation is
-date in should be finished by
corresponding to the number that was typed into "L" which would be listed onto a new sheet. So if the user typed in 3 - I should have 3 recommendations with dates.
On my new sheet, I would like "A" to match "A" from sheet1 for the first one only
"B" would be the recommendation from the prompt
"C" would be the date of that prompted recommendation
Name - Recommendation 1 01/01/10
<blank> - Recommendation 2 02/02/10
<blank> - Recommendation 3 02/03/11

Is it possible to prompt the user for a specific row number to delete in a vba textbox? If yes, then the code would fire using a button. I have the worksheet protected and only want to unprotect through code to delete a specific row number, then protect it again.

I'm in search of a way to prevent people who use a spreadsheet of mine from screwing up formulas. I've hidden rows 10 and 12 in a spreadsheet. i have a TOTAL formula in a cell on row 13 that counts from 10-12. that way, when people insert rows, the total is always right. problem is, people somehow seem still screw it up.
I'm hoping there's a way for me to put a button on the sheet to insert rows. and when the button is pushed, be promted to enter a number of rows. then have it insert that many rows.
Is that feasable?
Thanks!

I have created an addin that runs several macros. To enable the user to undo any changes, I keep a backup prior to them using any of the macros in the form of a worksheet named back00xx. I want a prompt to be displayed to the user to remove these backups at the closing or saving of the file. The problem is that as an addin, how do I get it to display this prompt as the open workbook is not part of the addin.
Could one have a looping routine that is checking every xx min/sec to check if the current workbook contains any sheets starting back00

Currently I have information that includes numerous distributors information on one sheet. The code below separates each distributors information into a new tab and a new workbook, names the workbook and saves it in the specified file path.
I am trying to figure out a way to use an InputBox to popup and ask the user where all the new workbooks will be saved at. Thus, avoiding the need to change the code each time you want the new workbooks saved in a different folder .....

excel macros and only know how to record certain tasks, and then edit after recording the task.
I am working on a project to automate a daily routine task for a company which involves creating a new tab and inputting various datas.
How can I create a macro such that I create a new tab and a combobox appears asking me to input the date in a particular cell?
This is the first in a number of steps for fully automating this process.
So far I only have this to create a new tab.

is there a way to make a macro that runs on startup
and prompts with a yes/no question, if the user
wants to multiply all new data values time 1.0825,
and after having selected if they do or dont want
to allow that, would it be possible to have the
prompt minimize itself but still be present in
case they decide to toggle that on/off?

Is there a way for VBA to prompt the user for a new selection?.
For exmaple,
Code:
Sub BlankRow()
The reason I need this is because I am already in a macro and can not change selection on screen and I don't want to exit routine to make new selection (last line of code).
'I need to be able to select new active cell!

Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 1
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

I attempted to copy the cells (which had formulas) from one workbook worksheet into another workbook worksheet. It didn't paste properly, so I deleted it and resolved to enter the formulas I needed manually one by one. The formulas reference values in other worksheets within the same workbook. The issue is, now, for some reason when I attempt to enter the formulas, I get an "Update Values" prompt and the formulas won't reference the sheets within the same workbook anymore. Is there a way to stop this prompt from appearing? and unlink the workbooks?

I have an excel spreadsheet that when opened and closed prompts to save changes, even when no changes have been made.
The spreadsheet is a copy of another spreadsheet which has then been modified. The original spreadsheet doesn't have this quirk.
There are no 'links' in the spreadsheets. Which was my first thought.

I have a macro used to format data from a software export. The user exports data from another system, copies and pastes the values into my sheet. I have a macro set up to strip out unneccessary columns, format everything, etc. The problem I'm having is that people keep clicking the macro button multiple times, which deletes more columns, and strips useful data out. Is there a way to set up a flag in the macro to stop them from doing this?
Once the sheet is formatted, it types in "Imported ____" (where the blank is the current date and time). So I'm thinking that is the best option to flag the macro; if A1 contains Imported*, then prompt "don't touch that friggin button"....or something to that effect.
Here is the code I have:
