I have a TextBox on a UserForm and I want to validate the user's input as soon as he moves focus from the TextBox but before he selects OK. I have the validation function, but what is the event
View 5 RepliesI have a VBA user form that asks for user's input. The form has 3 textbox. I would like to check for the entry & make sure that it's numeric & not null. If it's not numeric or null, I'd like to display a warning message & highlight the textbox & ask for entry again.
Here's what I have but it's not really working. The warning message will come up but the next textbox is highlighted:
Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
If Not IsNumeric(Me.TextBox1.Value) Then
MsgBox "Please Enter Only Numeric Values"
TextBox1.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox2_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
If Not IsNumeric(Me.TextBox2.Value) Then
MsgBox "Please Enter Only Numeric Values"
TextBox2.SetFocus
End If
I have a userform with 5 textboxes. Each textbox looks for certain kinds of user entry...my code has trouble in re-locating the cursor to the SAME textbox after rejecting the user entry. And BTW, ideally the text box would be highlited in this instance.
Private Sub TextBox2_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Dim okstop As Boolean
Dim yesno_continue As Boolean
Dim mytext As String
okstop = False
Do
TextBox2.SetFocus
TextBox2.SelStart = 0
mytext = TextBox2.Value
If Not IsDate(mytext) And mytext <> "" Then
TextBox2.Value = ""
yesno_continue = MsgBox("Please enter a date...try again?", vbYesNo)
TextBox2.SetFocus
Else
okstop = True
End If
Loop Until (yesno_continue = vbNo) Or (okstop = True)
End Sub
I would like to know what proper code to use if I want a textbox validate if the entry typed in is an email address and has no blank spaces in it. The textbox is in a worksheet and is in an activex form.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have set up a form which requires one textbox to have a decimal followed by four numbers (ex .5780) and another which requires two numbers, a decimal, then two more numbers (ex 57.80). how this can be accomplished? I am new to Visual Basic coding!
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've got a userform for pricing items and am having an issue when changing margin. I want to validate the user enters in .22 or 22%. The code places the decimal value in a worksheet just fine and runs back end calculations. I want to make sure no one fat-fingers .12b by accident so I came up with the following code. It seems to run fine, but if I tab over a couple of textbox (there are 4 Margin textboxes) it trips the coding for that textbox even if there was no change to the value.
Code:
Private Sub txtPDLaborMargin_AfterUpdate()
If IsNumeric(txtPDLaborMargin.Text) Then
Range("LaborMargin") = txtPDLaborMargin

how to validate the value is numeric
In my form I have the user enter in the current date in Textbox1. My program is designed only to work in 2009 so I want to check to make sure the 1) the date is in 2009 and 2) textbox1 is not empty. If it is empty then it displays a message box with "Not a Valid Date. Please Enter Date as MM/DD/YYYY. Date has to be in 2009" - this doesn't work. Second, if the date is outside of 2009 it is to display a meeage box saying "Date has to be in 2009".
Here is my current code which is not working.
Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
If TextBox1 = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
If IsDate(TextBox1) Then
Else
MsgBox "Not a Valid Date. Please Enter Date as MM/DD/YYYY. Date has to be in 2009" ...
I know it's possible to lock objects (textboxes), via their properties. ( ie: to move or not with cells),
However, I'm trying to lock down a textbox so that when I scroll the main window, the entire page scrolls except the textbox, which remains in it's position.
A quick solution would be to freeze/split this area... but part of my work area is already utilizing a frozen partition.
I don't believe there is a way to freeze multiple areas.. or is there?
how to prevent a textbox from moving?
I have an excel work book with 6 tabs. I would like to have Excel move an entire row from one tab to another tab (removing the row and inserting it in the other tab). I.e. Example I have a tab with items that are marked as "Open Actions" so if I were to change the drop down to close. Excel would move that entire row of actions to the tab with the "closed actions" and insert into the next available row. Now if someone were to come back at a later date say no it should be reopened than I would change the drop down to open and excel would move that row back to the open actions tab into next available row. I tried a PIVOT table and no good I played with few macro and not.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to format some TextBoxes from within a For/Next loop. I need a way to check which TextBox is the active TextBox in the loop. Using i as the variable, I came up with this code snippet: Me.Controls("TB" & i).Text = Format("TB" & i, "mm/dd/yy")
If i = 3, this gives me in TextBox3 (which is called TB3) the text 'TB3' and not the value of what is in TB3. It has got to bo something simple, I just can't see it!!!
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.
I have a spreadshhet which has data by month, year, week and bi-weekly. I would like everything to be monthly. How can I put a formula which will look up the cell and see if it monthly it will the value of the cell beside it, if it is weekly it will take the cell value and multiply by 2 and so on.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a range of cells (A1:A50). If "Hello" is written in any of those cells then a MsgBox says "Are you sure?". If vbYes the cell is colour coded blue. If vbNo then it is red.
The problem I have is that "Hello" may already exist within the above range. I only want the above to fire on the cell that has just been changed within the range.
I have some code but it checks every cell within the range whenever any cell is changed within the range. Whereas I just want it to fire on the active cell if that makes sense?
How can I validate that all values in a range of cell are the same, excluding
empty cells?
I have a database on one sheet and a 2 count if formulae recording information on the next to be exact one formulae counts the number of monthly values and the other count yearly values. I want the sum of these formulaes to be equal or less than 25. and to show an error if the sum of these is mor than 25.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a ComboBox on a UserForm. One of the fields that I fill in is a date.
After the date is entered I want to check if it's a valid date.
VB:
Private Sub cboEnterDate_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
' Make sure a valid date was entered, it must be in the format 2013/10/21.
On Error Goto ERR
'If Not IsDate(cboEnterDate.Value) Then
[Code] .....
ERR:
MsgBox "The date entered is not a valid date", vbInformation
Cancel = True
cboEnterDate_Enter
End Sub
The code:
VB:
'If Not IsDate(cboEnterDate.Value) Then
execute the If routine if I enter the date 2014/03/33
When I enter the date 2014/03/0001 it do not see it as an invalid date and exit the routine.
The code:
VB:
If Not IsDate(FormatDateTime(cboEnterDate.Value, vbShortDate)) Then
send the execution to the ERR routine if I enter 2014/03/33
When I enter the date 2014/03/0001 it do not see it as an invalid date and exit the routine.
How can I get the validation to catch the 2014/03/0001 as an invalid date as well.
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.
I have to validate a cell to only accept the letter a, d ,f ,g h,. I know this is probaly very simple but i havent touched excel since last november and have completely forgotton the most simple of things!

I have a sheet that contains two values in seperate columns that I need to concatinate into one value for the drop down. If I use one value my code works but doesn't show all the values. If I use both values I get a 1004 - Application Defined or object defined error. I bolded the section that if I add I get the 1004 error. Is there some sort of restriction when creating the validate list for a drop down? My list is not reaching 65000 characters which is the string cut off.

Data validation failed me here, so I resorted to VB to esnure only letters are entered in a certain cell. The code below is a mess and I need a hand to repair it. I can't figure out how to declare i . .
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("a59")) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
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
If anything else is entered into the input box a message box (MSGbox) with a vbCritical button will appear with the following prompt "You entry (insert entry data here) is inccorect." I don't know the code for "insert entry data here".
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn my spreadsheet, on ( sheet A) I pick up a value to a range (O2:O22) from other worksheet (sheet B), the value is validated when a cell in the same range but other column (A2:A10) reach a specific criteria.
But in the same column if the criteria is typed again I gone a have the same value on range( O ), and I dont want that, because this value represents a total for a day, and is to be added to other cell.
I'm using this, to pick up the data
Ex:
(A2:A10) Criteria
(O2:O10) value picked up
on SheetA, Sumif(sheetBA10:A40,A2,SheetBK10:K40)
How can I count only one of the values picked up from sheet B?
validation up to the point that the user can click cancel and exit, also when nothing is entered a msgbox appears and for the 3rd inputbox a value greater than 0 must be entered.

'If t0 = "" Then MsgBox ("You must enter a value for t0!")

I'm looking to make a code that validates that a string is only alphabetic characters.
In addition, i want an additional code that validates other strings are only numeric. I tried using the VBA formula isnumeric, but it seems strings with e and d are still acceptable. I would guess the e is for exponential, but not sure about the d.
