Using Variables In VBA Loops To Get Form Textbox Contents
Jan 28, 2013
I have written the following snippet in my code, the purpose of which is to cycle through the text boxes on a form (frmPaymentOrders) and transfer the value of each text box txtPO1 to 10 to the variable PORow (Dim as Long). These will then be pasted into the correct part of my worksheet.
But I keep getting an "Invalid Qualifier" error - even though I think I have correctly qualified the PORow variable as Long.
Code:
For i = 1 To 10
PORow.Value = ["frmPaymentOrders.txtPO" & i]
Next i
I'm trying to better understand loops and variables. I have an instance I'd like to try and implement but I'm struggling with it. I know how to set a variable as 1 and loop through the code increasing the number each time but this one is a little different.
At the start of my code, I scan the worksheets for the worksheet names -
Monday Tuesday Wednesday etc etc
and then assign these worksheets as
Monday = ws Tuesday = ws2 Wednesday = ws3 etc etc
That way in my code I can do things to the workbooks like -
ws.Range("D4").Value = "blah blah" and always know it will be tackling the right worksheet regardless of the sheets position in the workbook or sheetcode.
Well I have lots of changes to make on each of these sheets (Monday -> Sunday) which are identical. What I'd like to do is something like this -
For each VARIABLE in (MY VARIABLES WS,WS2,WS3 ETC) VARIABLE.Range("D4").Value = "blah blah" Next VARIABLE
Is it possible to use a variable to change a controls name in a For Loop? I have several worksheet combo boxes that have the same root name, e.g., cbobox1, cbobox2. cbobox3, etc. I want to be able to keep the main name and change the numeric part in a for loop and also perform some function with the control. For example:
For x = 1 To 10 Worksheets("Name").cbobox(x).Clear Next x
I have a series of operations to carry out and, while I can do the code for each individual one, how to declare the variables correctly and have the operations done in a series of Do/ Loops or For/Nexts. Especially the declaring of named ranges as variables. Also a bit uncertain of the best way to find and coy the match. I have attached a simplified version of the workbook, with explanations on it.
Basically what I need to do is loop through a series of named ranges and then loop through the names in each, match each name with a name in a master list (with a flag as an image), add an e-mail hyperlink to that flagged name and copy both to a new cell.
how to store the variables selected in a list box for future use in the macro?
I've got code as follows:
This is in my main module
'These set up the global variables Public SelectedRegion As Variant 'I've also used string Public NewTabName As Variant 'I've also used string
'This links the list box to the values in a hidden tab named "Regions" and shows the form WSForm.RgList.RowSource = "Regions!A1:A10" WSForm.Show This is in my coding for the form itself (list box & buttons)
'Code for my "Cancel" button Private Sub cmdCancel_Click() Unload Me End Sub
I would like to copy the contents of a cell from a sheet in workbook 1 into a textbox that is on a userform in workbook 2. This is what I have but I get a runtime error 438:
I need to confirm that a date is entered correctly into a userform.
This code works for a command button, but not for a WorkSheet_Change event.
My textbox is the first in the userform, and needs to be checked immediately, as the labels in the rest of the userform all change to reflect the date that was entered.
What is the best way to do this? I tried a keycode = vbKeyReturn option, but cannot get it to work?
Code: Private Sub DateCheck() Dim DateString As String Dim DateProper As Date Dim EntryOK As Boolean EntryOK = False
I have 4 checkboxes and if they are all unchecked then I need some text in the textbox. If even one of them is checked, then some other text in the text box.
Here is the code that I have been playing with:
Code: Private Sub TextBox2_Change() Dim check As OLEObject Set check = Sheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("CheckBox1,CheckBox2,CheckBox3")
I have created a string that contains the absolute path to a text file. Using VBA how would I move the text within this text file into Textbox1 on Sheet1?
I have a multiple sheet workbook designed to collect information which is all collated on the last sheet. On one sheet I have a textbox (not the drawing textbox) which is designed to take a string of characters of a specific lenght (150chars) and works well. I'm just trying to get the code to work with a textbox on the same sheet for now, then when its working change it to copy over to another sheet.
Sub TextBox_To_TextBox() Dim x As Integer Dim PreEmp As TextBox, PreEmp2 As TextBox Dim theText As String Set PreEmp = ActiveSheet.TextBoxes("PreEmp") Set PreEmp2 = ActiveSheet.TextBoxes("PreEmp2") For x = 1 To PreEmp.Characters.Count Step 150 theText = PreEmp.Characters(Start:=x, Length:=150).Text PreEmp2.Characters(Start:=x, Length:=150).Text = theText Next End Sub
I'm calling the sub routine but nothing seems to happen.
I am trying to populate the first 12 columns in the last row of the active sheet from 12 UserForm TextBoxes (TB5 thru TB16). Here is the
With Range("A65536").End(xlUp) For i = 1 To 12 .Offset(0, i - 1).Value = Me.Controls("TB" & i + 4).Value MsgBox "Cycle " & i Next i End With
The MsgBox returns a "Cycle 13" only once. The Row has the first column filled but none of the rest. I am trying to load TB5 thru TB16 into columns A thru L of the last row (the last row was copied down to get the formatting and this code was supposed to over write the copied data and leave the formatting). But only TB5 loads into Column A!
I have a form set up with excel (2003) using vba. I'm doing a check to see if textbox1 is empty, if it is, a msgbox pops up with a warning that "textbox1 needs to be filled out". I click OK and the cursor goes to textbox2. I want the cursor to return to texbox1 without user intervention but can't figure out how. I'm using "Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)". I know it can be done because I did it with vba Access, but I can't seem to find it using vba Excel.
I need to use two types of fonts to not only display a string of characters in a textbox but also past to a cell as viewed in the textbox.
An example string:
[#|:.010(M)|A|N(M)|B(M)]
The above string in Arial font would look like this:
[TP|Ř.010(M)|A|N(M)|B(M)]
I am simulating a GD&T instruction (Geometric Deimensioning and Tolerancing).
My dilema stems from the first character "[" and the last character "]". I use both of these characters to open an instruction and close the instruction (as if all characters are surrounded by a rectangle).
What I cant figure out is how to isolate the first "[" and the last "]" (They will always be the first and last characters of an unknown string length). The first "[" would be an "Arial font" and the last would be an "Arial font" everything in between is another font (in this case Verisurf). See attached example jpg file. "verisurf1.jpg"
Verisurf uses both "[" and "]" as alternate characters. I only need to capture the first and last character if: 1. The first is a "[" and or the last is a "]". They will never be vice~versa.
I have a spreadsheet that records data on various sites with data entered on a userform.
Every so often a site may need to be added or deleted. Is there anyway to use VBA to add an additional field to a Userform, and then also delete the field if necessary?
1) I have a user form that picks data from a spreadsheet - This is for scheduling a course. Works fine
2) I have a second form which should do 2 things: a) On the bottom half of the form, select people from sheet 'Staff'. Works fine b) On the top part, I would like to select a course (using combo box) and fromt this select a date for when the course has been scheduled (from sheet 'Scheduled Courses'). Courses are run a few times so have multiple entries. With some help, have done this and it works well
The problem is that when I select a date for a course using combobox2, I would like to populate the text box 6 & 7 with the cost of the course and the location. This goes wrong as it starts taking cost and location from the first cell. Eg when i select SPIN Selling, all is fine as this are the first courses. However If I take 7 Habits, it gives me costs for SPIN. If I take OM, it still gives me costs for SPIN. The dates in combo box 2 appear fine
What I've done so far is... Created two buttons (Add and Find) in my Excel sheet1. If I click my Add button Form1 opens. In Form1 the user enters a number of values that are inserted into sheet2 of my Excel book. If I click my Find button Form2 is displayed. This form contains a multicolumn textbox that shows some of the columns from sheet2 that have values in them. Now to my BIG problem....
I would like to be able to select a row in my multicolumn textbox, click my OK button there and then Form1 should be displayed with ALL the values from that particular row from sheet2. As I mentioned I'm very new at this and I'm not even sure how to do this logically and much less the correct code for it. I hope that someone could thoroughly explain to me what I have to do and why to be able to get this working.
Private Sub UserForm1_Initialize() Dim rIds As Range Dim MaxId As Long Set rIds = Worksheets("Systemtest").Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)) MaxId = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(rIds) With Me .IdBox.Value = MaxId Private Sub DateBox_Change() DateBox = Format( Date, "yy/mm/dd") End Sub.....................................
How can I allow users to either select the SKU from the dropdown menu, or to type in the SKU # in the dropdown menu (C5 through F5) and have it populate the data fields for that SKU when they press the 'Enter' key?
Currently using Data Validation ='KVM Comparison Data'!$B$4:$OP$4 and cell logic to allow the information to be pulled from a hidden tab =INDEX('KVM Comparison Data'!$D$2:$OP$65,MATCH('KVM Product Comparison'!$B6,'KVM Comparison Data'!$A$2:$A$65,0),MATCH('KVM Product Comparison'!C$5,'KVM Comparison Data'!$D$4:$OP$4,0))
In short, I want to keep it the way I have it, but allow users to also have the option of typing in a SKU and pull the data up that way. I know this is possible, I just can't figure out how to do it, while keeping my current solution in place as well.
why the text box "txtjobnum" wont populate with the active cell in my "COMPLAINTS" sheet. The green code below is in the userform and the red text below that is in module 3.
I have this code inside a userbox to auto populate a textbox on the same form, the combibox info is located on row E, and it populates the textbox with info off row G, but how can I change this to pull the info off row C instead of G???
Code: Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() var1 = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(ComboBox1.Value, Worksheets("Basic").Range("E11:G90"), 3, False)
After a bunch of false starts I am not getting very far and after searching the message board have failed to come up with the right clue.
I am trying to create some vba code that would use input from a form to create a file name that would save the file in the current folder.
e.g. Foghorn Leghorn expenses Aug 10 2008.xls
I am using calendar control named “calendarFinal” and a text box named “txtName” . The text box to show the user the suggested file name is txtFileName.
Among other things, the date from the calendar control gives a date like 08/08/2008 and I suspect that the slashes are going to give me grief.
I have a form that pulls up. When the person enters in a ticker symbol I would like the VBA code to perform a lookup in a range "Data_Company_Names" (3000 lines long of company ticker sybols and names) and use the corosponding Name to fill in the textbox for the name. If no Ticker symbol is found then the textbox would be blank.
I realize I would have to use some type of Private Sub TextBox1_Change() code but I am not sure how to have it lookup in a range and return the corosponding name to the ticker. For example, when the form pulls up and the person enters AAPL in Textbox1 then Textbox2 value should equal the Apple which is the company name located in the column over from AAPL in range Data_Company_Names
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).
