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
'
End 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

I have a workbook with over 900 worksheets.
The macro I have is looping all sheets looking for empty cells in a specific column, and when it founds an empty cell the value for one cell is copied to the empty cell.
But in one worksheet it stops with the error:
Run-time error '1004'
Application-defined or object-defined error

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'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:

If I have a cell "C8" default value is "choose" and it is a drop list of other values. I want to validate if "C8" is populated with a value other than "choose" that the user populates the SOME of other cells in the row like D8 or F8? I would like to alert something that the cell needs to be populated.

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
Gives me a #Ref error

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?

I have a column which is formatted to custom [hh]:mm but could also have the following text entry "NWD", which is either the hours a member of staff works or Non Working Day.
I tried using a data validation list with **:** and NWD, but it recognises the **:** as exactly that.

I have a long range of cells (U3:AX3), all of which are empty save one. Is there a way to search through the range of cells, and return the contents of the one cell that contains text?
I would do this with a series of nested IF statements if there weren't more than 30 of them!

Is a Cell with a formula (like shown below) considered true, or is it empty?
=IF(Scorecard!$B$13,Scorecard!$AD$4,"")
If Scorecard!$B$13 was False...
Would a cell with the above formula be considered?
True or Empty?
If Scorecard!$B$13 was True...
A cell with the above formula would be True.

I have 2 lists and I want to validate a cell to only allow items in List1 or list2 or A numeric value.
List1
D1
D2
D3
..
D10
..
Dxx
List2
Hol
Off
Sick
These lists may changein length and number of items
the second part, is can you valudate based on other values in a column, basically I have a list of names of available operatives, and I want to make sure each name can only be entered once in a column! Would be even better if I could get a dropdown which showed the remaining choices!

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:Â
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
End With
End Sub

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

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.

Is there a VBA command to get the letters, instead of the numbers, of the column of a selected cell?
I have to letter a list whihc means setting up a loop using character codes.
I may have to go into double letters so I am working on how I would set up the loop for if and when it gets past 90 and starts on double letters. so far the highest is the letter "U"
of course the easiest would be to pick up a column value as a letter
NT values do not get a number
A_____ _____NT###
B_____1_______C####
C_____2_______RMK###
D____ _______NT####
i am guessing the loop might involve some arithmetic test between the count and the character set 65-90. or maybe a mod thing.

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.

I have a sheet which basically does this:
If A9 is blank, return 'A9', if not, return 'blank'. (to identify which cells are populated on another sheet)
It does this from A9 to X9.
Then in A10, if A9 says 'A9', just return 'A'.
So the end result has the entire A10 Row with all the letters that aren't blank. In my sheet, I have the following:
A10 = A
K10 = K
N10 = N
P10 = P
Q10 = Q
What I want is to have cell A11 to return (for example) = A, K, N, P, Q - as they are the only values found.
Is that possible without using a macro?

How do I do data validation/cell formatting so that only alphabetic characters can be entered and no numbers?
(We use the cell for First Name, Last Name, etc. and I don't want potential entries like Mr. 56565 55454 because the cells are formatted as text and allow alphabet and numbers.)
I tried =NOT(ISNUMBER(H6)) for Data Validation, but that didn't work.

I have some code that loops through a sheet exporting each row to it's own file. The code below is the part that writes the file. The variable "i" is used to count which row the loop is on. I had planned to use the text in the first cell to identify the files, but the problem is that it contains some characters that cannot be used in Windows file names. So what I had hoped to accomplish was to just use the first 7 letters from each cell in column "a" in the filename. how to modify this to only take the first 7 letters from the cell instead of the entire cell contents? Set a = fs.CreateTextFile(DestFile & Cells(i, 1).Text, True)
