Ensure TextBox Entries Add To 100%
Dec 10, 2007I have five text boxes on a user form. I would like the 5th box to always equal 100 - the Sum of the other boxes, and never go below 0.
In other words, the text boxes are representing percentage breakdowns - so to validate the percentage entry in each box i want the last box to 'count down' from 100 as the percentages are distributed amoungst the other boxes. This box will also be a percentage figure, so is crucial it has its own box (rather than just saying these four boxes have to total 100) i hope this makes sense!
I have tried a code along these lines (see below) - (adapted from this forum but couldnt get it to work) I also found a version where one poster used a command to change the 'value' from string to numbers - but have been unable to find that again.
Private Sub txtbox1.change()
txtbox5 = 100 - (CCur(txtbox1) + CCur(txtbox2) + CCur(txtbox3) + CCur(txtbox4))
End Sub

Data Validation To Ensure Like Numbers In Cell A Has Same Date In Cell B
Jan 10, 2008I am trying to set up a data validation to ensure that when a user enters a number in column A that matches a previously entered number in column A, the user is only allowed to enter the same date for the number it matches in column B.
For example, if:
Row 3 column A = 1320
and
Row 3 column B = 16-Dec-07
and
Row 15 column A = 1320
then:
Row 15 column B must be 16-Dec-07
Unique Entries Formula From 2 Lists?
Aug 12, 2014I have two lists and I would like a formula which only returns unique values - similar to an advanced formula. Is this possible?
In the attached example my data is in columns C and D and I would like a formula in column E if possible. I need it to ignore the capitals. E.g. BLACKBURN and Blackburn appears in each list but I would only want one instance pulled through in column E.
Currently in column E I have the desired result.

How To Ensure Cell Entry In A Range Is Always Unique
Jun 18, 2013I have a range B1:B20. These cells are populated by the user and I want to ensure that no two entries are the same. Is there a way of presenting a dialog box that prompts the user to enter a different value if the value they are trying to enter is already entered somewhere in the range?

Data Validation And Non-Repeating Entries
Apr 18, 2014I'm trying to create a questionnaire and in each question you got to rank the answers 1, 2, 3 and 4 according to your preferences.
So I'm trying to use data validation to allow ranges between 1 and 4 and at the same time I'm trying to use =countif($B$20:$H$20,B20)=1 to prevent repeating selections but my problem is that with the data validation tool I can only select one of those options either allowing whole numbers between 1 - 4 or allowing custom and using =countif($B$20:$H$20,B20)=1.
Is there a way to do both?
Multiple Data Validation Entries Into One Cell
Jun 2, 2014Is it possible to create a formula using a Data Validation List where it will add a new entry to the existing entries in a cell?
For example: I have a data validation list with the names of Pete, Chris, Bruce, Carly, Megan, and Becky. With the normal data validation set I can select one entry and it will be output into the designated cell. If I select Bruce then Bruce with be placed in the cell. Is it possible to set it up so that each time I click on data validation it will add an entry to the already existing entry? E.g. I have already selected Bruce then I decide to add Becky, I want the output cell to show both Bruce and Becky.
I know I can do this with a formula that will place all the results from different cells into a single cell, but I would then have to create multiple data validation entries of which I would rather avoid if possible. Not to mention I don't remember how to do this formula anyway......
Data Validation List & No Duplicate Entries
May 23, 2007I have a spreadsheet that needs to have a validation drop down list in three cells in every row (D, E, F). There are three items in the list, say, "One", "Two" and "Three".
My only problem is that there can only be one entry of "One" in each row.
Finding Unique Entries Among Two Columns Of Alphanumeric Data
Jun 16, 2006Columns A & B contain several thousand Project Numbers (e.g., P1052, PA844, etc.). Many of the Project Numbers in column B are the same as in column A, but column B also has additional (i.e., newer) Project Numbers scattered throughout. Ideally, I would like to use a built-in function (versus a custom function if possible) that compares all the Project Numbers in both columns and then separately lists those that are unique to column B.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSet Maximum Number Of Entries In A Range - Data Validation?
Dec 8, 2012Basically in cells b12:b26 (15 cells) I need to enter the type of item (which is limited to 2 items). I made a drop down list for that range which works perfectly, therefore the user can choose either item 1 or item 2 or blank. However, I need to figure out a way so that item 1 can be chosen a maximum of 10 times in the range, and item 2 can only be chosen 5 times in that same range..
I am assuming that you can't add that condition to the drop down list... So I was thinking of adding an extra column duplicating b12:b26 (c12:=b12 etc...)- and entering a data validation there.
I was going to enter the following:
if item 1 is chose : =NOT(COUNT($c$12:$c$26)>10) &
if item 2 is chosen: =NOT(COUNT($c$6:$c$6)>5).
However, for some reason it doesn't work - it doesn't block the entry if I try to enter 11 item 1s or 6 item 2s.
Unique Count Number Of Users In Month Regardless Their Frequency
May 29, 2014I have a signup record that expected to grow up to row 400. On the top, there's a monthly tally for reports. Column B to count the number of boxes taken and Column C for the users picked up the boxes.
Users should be accounted as one appearence in a month, regardless re-appearance in the same month or different month.
I haven't found the generic formula to uniquely count the number of users regardless their frequency in a month.
NOTE: Timings, box numbering format and usenames are randomly generated. Any similarities with real subjects will be coincidence only.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSetting Up A Validation Of Data Listbox To Provide The Unique Items Within A Range
Jul 23, 2006I am trying to insert a listbox by the way of data validation and would
like
to only have unique data displayed in it. I was wondering if anybody
has done this before or if it is possible. I would like it to remove
any and all records that are blank.
This is what I have got so far.................
VBA Function UniqueItems(ArrayIn, Optional Count As Variant) As Variant
' Accepts an array or range as input
' If Count = True or is missing, the function returns the number
' of unique elements
' If Count = False, the function returns a variant array of unique
' elements
Next i
AddItem:
' If not in list, add the item to unique list
If Not FoundMatch Then
NumUnique = NumUnique + 1
ReDim Preserve Unique(NumUnique)
Unique(NumUnique) = Element
End If
Next Element
' Assign a value to the function
If Count Then UniqueItems = NumUnique Else UniqueItems = Unique
End Function
Then I input an array with a few duplicate Item and us the function to
determine the list. So far I found that it worked for the following
function:
{=TRANSPOSE(UniqueItems(A4:A27))}
but this only gives me the number of unique items in the array. The
problem is when I try to use the following function:
{=TRANSPOSE(UniqueItems(A3:A26,FALSE))}
This now only returns a zero and if I fill down they all are zero.
I would like to get a list of unique items from this formula. Example
list would be:
{Array = Lorem, Lorem, foo, bar, bar} {Formula_returns = Lorem, foo,
bar}
I haven't a clue how to display this in a regular excel cell box so I
thought that using a validation list box would inherently work.
Create Unique List From Matrix & List Frequency Of Each Occurrence
May 23, 2009I've searched the forum and believe this thread to be the closest to what im looking for, but its doesnt completely apply: matrix to list conversion. I have an attachment to support my questions (see attached). I have a matrix of words (strings) that contain repeating and non-repeating contents. The matrix also has spaces which are of no value. Essentially, the VBA needs to ' analyze' this matrix and create a consolidated frequency list (as shown in the file).
The matrices are HUGE and therefore some of the clumsy VBA i am using is turning out to be a bit inefficient. The file also contains formulas and such that I cannot use AutoFilter nor can I use Insert or Delete rows...so the VBA shouldnt use those either.
