Validate Cell Value Against Range Or Array

Apr 18, 2007

I would like to use VBA to validate the data in an Excel worksheet against either a named range or an array of valid data.

The valid data comes from an accounting system. It is a list of customer numbers. I am using ODBC and SQL to get the data into an array and then into a named range. This is working fine.

I want to validate the customer number column in my source Excel worksheet against either the array or the named range.

There are a variable number of lines in the source data.

I have a VBA procedure which starts at cell A2 and then works down column A until it reaches a blank cell.

I would like to use a VBA formulae which does something like:

IF active cell offset (0,3).Value in (named range or array)
Then set cell colour for active cell offset (0,3) = Green
Else set cell colour for active cell offset (0,3) = Red
End If

Or something like that.

Can this be done using VBA? Or do I need to create a new column in my source data and use VBA to place a VLOOKUP based on a named range into this new column?

Validate Cell Entries To Named Range List

Apr 28, 2009

I have been trying to figure out how to use a named range (on another sheet) to validate the user entered data in a specific column. All my attempts at utilizing worksheet_change event have ended in errors. I've created a simple workbook that shows what I'm trying to do and have attached it to this message. The 'Sample (Data)' worksheet has the data table that would be completed by the user. On the 'Validation' worksheet I have named the range to be used to validate the data as 'rngVal'. So when something is entered under the 'Expense Type' heading, the code would verify that the value entered was contained in the 'myVal' validation list. If it was not present in the list, a msgbox would instruct you to try again. After stealing bits of knowledge and code from many of the posts on this site I cobbled together the following (which results in an error at the 'set rngFind' line):

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rngFind As Range
'Set Target = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, ActiveCell.Column)
Set rngFind = Range("rngVal"). Find(Target.Value)
'If data in column C changes, do the following
If Target.Column = 3 Then
'If the value is found on the validation list, do nothing.
If rngFind Is Nothing Then
Else
MsgBox "You must enter one of the following in this cell:"
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.Undo
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End If
Else
End If
End Sub

Validate Range Against Numerous Conditions

Dec 7, 2007

I have a VERY complex custom data validation formula that is getting crazy. I thought it might be easier to use a user defined VBA function to handle it, but was unsuccessful.

I was able to write a VBA User Defined Function & use it within my spreadsheet to derive the value of another cell, as follows: =IF(OR(ISBLANK(B12),myValidation(B12)),"OK","NG")

I tried using it as a Custom Data Validation on the cell itself (=myValidation(B12)), and I get an error: "a named range you specified cannot be found".

Can the function be used in this way or could someone suggest another way of handling this?

Validate Cells For Numeric Range Of Consecutive Numbers

Mar 19, 2008

I would like to " Validate Data In A Vertical Column To Not Allow Non Consecutive Numbers Less Than 100"

756415
10
456132
7
456123
12

The above is a valid list. Below would be an invalid list:

756415
10
13
456132
7
7
456123
12
13

This part of a larger scope, but I have a macro that will crash if the data entered is entered by way of the invalid list, it works perfectly with the valid list. I am limited to one column user's will input the data via a Barcode scanner that after it recieves input it enter's a "Hard" return. This is a warehouse pickticket program, user's scan their ticket id's (numbers greater than 100000) and then the number of lines on the ticket (usually not greater than 15)

Validate Cell Values?

Apr 7, 2009

I would like to simply validate the value entered to a cell against cells of a number of columns. I’d like it to return a vlue to be able to report it in another cell as below. (had to cmma separate the columns, can't get them aligned in this editor)

A, B, C, D, Q, R
1, b, 1, 2, 1, existing

or

A, B, C, D, Q, R
1, b, 1, 2, 5, not existing

So the user enters a value in cell Q to check against the other columns and return a value to R. Additionally, the cells to be validated (A - D) may contain more than one character, i.e. cell A could = 1b2.

Validate Empty Cell

Feb 1, 2010

The code below automatically displays the validation when I select the cell. But I would like the cell validation only display when the cell is empty. If the cell has data in it, then do nothing, but if the cell is empty, then display the validation.

If Not (Nothing Is Application.Intersect(Target, Range("B9"))) Then
SendKeys "%{down}"
End If

Lookup Array/Range Based On Cell Value

Jan 4, 2009

I need the array portion of a lookup formula to change based on a cell value.

On a worksheet(named "groupings")that groups students according to ability level, I have data validation lists where teachers select the criteria for the group. In cell I5 they choose the period, and in cell L5 they select which assessment to look at.

Cell B8 will either say high low or medium. Then in cell C8 I have this formula: Lookup_Occurence($B$8, ??????, 1,1,2)

Again the array will depend on what is entered in cell I5 and cell L5.

I have attached one of the worksheets the lookup_occurence will be referencing. In this exit card worksheet if cell B10 (the name of the assessment) matches what the teacher chose in cell L5 on the groupings worksheet, then the array formula will be 'Exit Card'!Card1. If cell G10 matches what the teacher chose in cell L5, then the array would be 'Exit Card'!Card2. Where A9:C339 is named Card1 and cell F9:H339 is card2 etc.....

However, it gets even more complicated then that because within Card1 there are 8 periods, and if a teacher chose period 1 in cell I8 on the groupings sheet, then I only need the array to look at the period one data in the card1 array.

Essentially what I am trying to accomplish is create a page where teachers can group students by ability level according to any assessment they choose. On the exit card page the formulas currently equaling # Div/0 will say either high, med, or low depending on how a student performs on that assessment.

Validate Result In A Calculated Cell

Aug 10, 2009

I've been struggling with this for a little while today and quite can't seem to figure it out. I have a range --- A6:A28 --- where a user will enter a percentage. The total should add up to a 100%, which is in cell A30.

My understanding is that a need a worksheet_calculate function to tell users to revise their entries if the results in a cell A30 are either less than or more than 100%. This is the simple, non-working procedure I have now:

COUNTIF To Validate A Subsequent Cell

Nov 2, 2009

Cell C10 contains 2 possible values, "CLIENTS" or "INDIRECT"

These are also the names of 2 dynamic named ranges

I am trying to use a COUNTIF to validate a subsequent cell, checking if the contents appear in the original list.

=COUNTIF(INDIRECT(C10),D10)

Checks to see if the value entered into D10 is within the dynamic named range, the name of which is entered into cell C10

Validate Cell Not Empty Or Certain Letters

Aug 14, 2006

I have a sheet which in a certain cell (H4) must contain either an "I", "J", "R" or "S" in upper case.

The user fills in the sheet, and then a macro runs that does lots of things. I have been asked to put a bit of code at the start of the macros to validate the contents of cell H4.

However it doesnt seem to work, particularly the isempty statement

Sub SiteVal()
'
' SiteVal Macro
'
If ("H4") = "S" Then
Else
If ("H4") = "I" Then
Else
If ("H4") = "R" Then
Else
If ("H4") = "J" Then
Else

If IsEmpty("H4") = True Then
MsgBox "Site code must be input"
Exit Sub
Else
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If

Macro To Validate Contents Of Cell And If Not Match Send Msg Box

May 21, 2014

Userform that people use. I need validating the users input into the form.

1. Need to validate that A1 only has 3 letters (Alpha)
2. Need to validate that A2 is not left blank
3. Need to validate A3 has only 10 digits

My state is that when the user hits the submit button in the user form the macro checks for these validations above and if everything is ok emails the sheet. However if the user havent inputed the data correctly a msg box will pop to let them know what is wrong. If thats the case i do not want the sheet emailed. below is the email code i'm using

HTML Code: 

Sub SendMail()
' Copy the sheet(1)
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Copy
' Send Email
.SendMail Recipients:=Array("email.address@email.com"), Subject:="Test" & Format(Date, "dd/mmm/yy")
.Close SaveChanges:=False

Hide/Show Sheets Based On Cell Values & Validate Entry

May 30, 2008

excal VBA programming.I have attached the file name "help" for your easy explanation purpose.

1. Is it possible to hide sheet nos. 1,2,3,4 & unhide the sheet as wished by me by puting the value (1or 2 or 3 or 4) in B3 cell.

2.There are per day production rate in E18 to E22 cell. Now whenever I will give value in H18 or H19 or H20 or H21 or H22, it will check whether the value is same with the respective E 18 or E19 or E20 or E21 or E22 cell. If both the values are not equal then give a message box "WARNING!!! YOUR VALUE IS NOT SAME". Can it be possible by creating VBA programming.

How To Validate If Data In A Cell Conforms To Data Validation Rules In The Cell

Oct 14, 2009

I have an Excel workbook which contains data entry fields, which have different types of data validation rules - like Lists, Date, Whole Number.

I do not want end users to remove these data validations as well as the formatting of these cells by doing copy/paste. So, I have implemented techniques mentioned in the following post, and elsewhere - to override the paste functionality and implement PasteSpecial values automatically.

[url]
To keep it simple, I'm only supporting pasting a single cell at a time.

Now my problem is this:
Doing the PasteSpecial values programmatically doesn't prevent the user from pasting values in the cell that violate the data validation rules. So, I can paste a string into a cell having data validation as Whole Number, or a invalid string into a cell having data validation as List.

The following post just suggests disabling paste whenever data validation is present:
[url]

But I would like to allow the paste operation if the value being pasted is a valid value for the cell's data validation.

VBA - Validate Date Entered In Input Box Is Month Ahead Of Date In Cell

Aug 14, 2012

I have a input box that prompts a user to enter a date of a new month - it has to be the 1st of a new month. I have validation that it is a date that has been entered but then i want to validate the date entered is a month ahead of a date in a cell range on a sheet.

It is a monthly reset so it has to roll on from the previous month.

Here is what i have currently but it isn't working.

' Get user to input the first day of the new month to populate all dates with
dNewMonth = InputBox(Prompt:="Enter first Day of the new Month. Must be the 1st of the Month e.g. 01/10/2012", _

I know I need to use the custom formula option but don't know how to write the formula.

I don't even know if it is possible, but here is what I'm after

I need to make sure the cell is 4 digits long

I need to make sure the cell starts with a zero (Because the cell starts with a zero I have it as a text cell)

I need to make sure the 2nd number is not 0 if A2 begins with 5 (A2 is also a text cell).

Range/Array Use

Oct 31, 2008

I have data in a spreadsheet that I would like to send to another sheet as follows:

Use the values in the range $D$2:$D$12 and $F$2:$F$12 to reference the column and row of a cell and the values in the range $G$2:$G$12 to reference a specific group of cells on another sheet into which would be inserted the value found in the range $C$2:$C$12. The best I have come up with is to place a formula in each of the cells in the second sheet that would state:

IF a value in the range $D$2:$D$12 matches the column # of the current cell AND IF the corresponding value in the range $F$2:$F$12 matches the row # of the current cell AND IF the corresponding value in the range $G$2:$G$12 matches the region of the current cell THEN the value of the current cell EQUALS the value of the corresponding cell in the range $C$2:$C$12.

I think this will work but I don’t have enough knowledge of Excel to write this formula.

Validate A URL

Dec 6, 2007

We have an internal web site that has files I need to download daily. The filenames have date strings in them. I've setup some formulas to make the url based on the NEXT dated file I need to download.

And I don't have direct access to the drive the files are stored on, I can only get them through this web site.

Right now, I have individual macros for each file I need. They'll follow the url and download the file if it's there, or return a message to me if it's not. But there are several different files. I have to run each macro one at a time, at different intervals during the day until they get downloaded.

Is it possible to make a macro loop through all the URLs (I have them stored on a sheet, called "FileDownloader" in Range G2:G10) and check if the URL's are valid (without actually attempting to download the file). I can then make some kind of dashboard to tell me when the files are ready for download.

How To Get Array Of Addresses From Range

Jun 19, 2014

I have a table that looks like this:

| A | B | C | D | ...
1 | fu | bar | lab |...
2 | rab| uf | luv |...
3 |...

All of my values are within the Range "A1:C2"

I would like to have a variant array which contains the addresses of this range.

Things I tried that didn't work:

If my variant is V and my range is R,

v = r returns an array which contains
fu|bar|lab
rab|uf |luv

V = R.Address gives me
A1:C2|A1:C2|A1:C2
A1:C2|A1:C2|A1:C2

What I actually want:
A1|B1|C1
A2|B2|C2

i know this can easily be done with a loop, but the table I want to use this on is huge, and a loop takes hours to execute.

Array To Set Range Objects

Dec 29, 2008

Hi all, starting this as a new problem because it's so far different from what I was originally talking about; but this does relate in part to my previous thread.

Anyway. I'm trying to set an array to set Range objects so that I can define each one as a seperate With block. Here's what I "know" when starting out.

I developed the following. I keep thinking it should be multidimensional but my sleep deprived brain came up with this instead. The problem is, it's throwing a 1004 Method "Range of object '_Worksheet'" failed at the With statement.
