Validate Date Entry
Mar 27, 2014
I 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.

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've looked through the threads and while I have used Data Validation to stop duplicate entries, I want to also make certain that those entries are only Dates. In other words, if Cells A1:A10 are to contain unique dates, I use Data Validation with the Custom condition below; = COUNTIF($A$1:$A$10,A1)=1
If the user enters the same date more than once, an error message pops up. However, the user is not prevented from entering a range of dates in a cell such as "July 5-7". How can I validate that the date is entered only once AND the entry is a valid Date. With Data Validation it seems I can specify to allow a DATE with specific criteria, or the Custom, but I can't see how I can do both.

I 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?

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.
Sub Trajectory() 'Trajectory macro
t0 = InputBox("Enter a value for the initial time(t0)")
'If t0 = "" Then MsgBox ("You must enter a value for t0!")
'Exit Sub
tf = InputBox("Enter a value for the final time(tf)")
'If tf = "" Then MsgBox ("You must enter a value for tf!")
'Exit Sub
Dt = InputBox("Enter a value for the time increment(Dt)")
'If Dt = "" Then MsgBox ("You must enter a value for Dt!")
'Exit Sub
'If Dt = 0 Then MsgBox ("You must have a valid increment")
x0 = Val( Range("F4"))
v0 = Val(Range("F5"))
g = Val(Range("F6"))
y0 = Val(Range("F7"))
q0 = Val(Range(" F8"))
Selection.Formula = FILL_TABLE
End Sub

I'm making a data entry form for a user, and one of the fields is in a time format (mm:ss). Is there any way that I can validate that field in "cmdOK_Click()" so that when the user clicks "ok" on the data entry form, if they haven't entered a date a msgbox comes up.
I tried IsNumeric with an If function but to no prevail.

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.

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.

' 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", _
Title:="Enter Date")
' Validates the entered date is a valid date
If (IsDate(dNewMonth) = False) Then

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 am working on a spreadsheet to create a school 'tracking' system based on excel. What I need is that as soon as a box in column B is ticked, a date (TODAY() is entered in column A. That is not so difficult, and I have used the formula in cells in column A:
=IF(ISBLANK(Bx);"";TODAY()), where x is the specific row.
So, keep cell A clear untill something is written in cell B. This works fine.
But, for the purpose I need to keep the TODAY() date fixed after entry. And it need to be erased again if the tickbox in cell B is emptied again. It need then to re-enter a new date after cell B is re-used.

I'm having a problem with data validation. I set an entire column so that it could only be a date between the first date in the list and the current date. I tested a few cells to make sure that it was working the way I wanted and I noticed that it allows a random number like 3 or 5 to be input after row 50. This would create a date in the 1900s. Why is this happening and how can I stop it.

I am attempting to pick up a date with time entry on a worksheet and place it into a TextBox on a UserForm. Format on the sheet is mm/dd/yyyy h:mm AM/PM. The UserForm is placing the value as mm/dd/yyyy 12:00 AM. here is the
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
If Not Range("dDate").Value = "" Then
TextBox2.Value = Range("dDate").Value
TextBox2.Text = Format(DateValue(TextBox2.Text), "mm/dd/yy h:mm AM/PM")
Else
TextBox2.Value = ""
TextBox2.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
"dDate" is the named range where the date is sitting. The format is also set on the TextBox2 exit event. Can anyone see why only the date portion is being transfered with the default 12:00 AM for no time component of the value?

I am not sure how many questions I can ask in one day, but I have one more. I am using VBA code for easy date and time entry on a spreadsheet...I am a complete novice at this.
I need to add additional columns to the range for dates and times.
also, is it OK to use the code for date and time on the same worksheet?
Code for Date:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim DateStr As String
On Error GoTo EndMacro
If Application.Intersect(Target, Range("A2:A100")) Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then
Exit Sub
End If
If Target.Value = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If

Is there a way that I can set up two cells so that when a date is entered into one, the other renders something like "Reporting from XXXXX to YYYYY" where XXXXX is the Monday of that week and YYYYY is the Friday of that week?
So, for instance, if the user entered 1/14/09 into cell A1, then cell B1 would show "Reporting from 1/12/09 to 1/16/09"...

I have a workbook with several sheets, each of which represents a client. At the bottom of this sheet, I have a call log to record the times that we attempted communication, left a message, etc. Since it's tedious enough as it is, I'd like to save my team 2 seconds and a slight bit of that tedium by having the date an attempt was made automatically recorded in the row where the attempt is entered.
Let's say this all takes place in A47:D47. For example, if I called the client on 7/15/08 and left a message, I would record who was called in B47, the name of the caller (me) in C47, and the result in D47. If possible, I would like to have the date of the attempt (today's date on the given day) entered in A47 upon the entry of information in B47:D47.

I am attempting to create a formula which will detect of a cell is empty, and if it is empty enter the date by using TODAY(). I also dont want this date to change when opened after it has been entered. This is what I have been working with so far.
Code:
=IF(A1="",TODAY(),"")
Code:
=IF(G9>=TODAY(),A1=1,"")
I am trying to use the second formula to change the value in the cell "A1", but instead it just returns a true/false statement in the cell with this formula.

I have a macro which is designed to collect information and then assign each piece of information to a defined cell. I have Dim statements for each piece of information i.e.
Dim Info1 = Surname
Dim Info2 = Initials And so on.
Dim Info11 = Date of entry
This is working perfectly but the date when entered is reversing to american format. 08/05/2006 becomes 05/08/2006. Type into the cell manually and it works perfectly let the macro put the date in and it changes format. Can anyone supply a line of code that would format the date to dd/mm/yyyy? Then I could insert it after the part of my code which basically says go to this cell and put in the date.

I am writing a roster spreadsheet and it has cells with drop down lists using validation lists to fill in the start and finish times, as we run a nearly 24 hour business it is possible to accidently start someone at 2.00am and finish them at 10.00pm. In the cell which calculates the time rostered I want it to display a messagebox if the hours exceed 10 hours or go into negative.
I need to "wife proof" this sheet as this stuffs up the total calculated hours and total costs.
Would I do this through validation on the cell with the formula calculating the times orr though a macro on the sheet module?

I have a old spreadsheet file which I opened up in Excel 2003. It has a few worksheet tabs. 2 worksheet tabs seem identical. I will reference it as Worksheet1 and Worksheet2. In Worksheet1, I enter a date i.e. 1/25/2008 in any cell. It enters as inputted. But in Worksheet2, I enter the same date i.e. 1/25/2008, it appears as 1/0/1900. No matter what date I enter in Worksheet2 in any cell, it always appears as 1/0/1900. Now when I look at cell in the formula toolbar, it sees as a Math Formula meaning, it looks like this: =1/25/2008. How do I correct this Worksheet to recognize any date inputted, not to see it as a Math Formula?

I have cells on my spreadsheet which contain: =now() and they work as they should - displaying the date and time at the moment of entry. Unfortunately the cells update when other info is added at other locations on the sheet - is there a way to ensure they enter the current 'now' only at the point of initial entry - such that the data doesn't then alter?

I am looking for a formula or VBA that will be in each in cells D5:D300 and will look at the value entered into the cell in column C and change the 4 digits into the date and time in the same format as NOW() returns.
Example
2045 becomes 17/02/2012 20:45
But I would also want it to see if the 4 digits that represent the time are after 14:00 and before 00:00 then the date would be the date in cell A1-1
example
Cell A1 18/02/12
2045 becomes 17/02/2012 20:45
