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:
When I drag my VLOOKUP formula down a column in Excel 2010, the return value copies the formula result from the original VLOOKUP formula result. For example, if the first VLOOKUP returns a value of 0.5, I expect to see 0.5 or 1 in the cell below that one. However, I get 0.5 which is not the expected result for the cell below.
When, I click the fx on the cells below, the expected return values appear in the formula result. After I click OK, the expected formula results updates and now appears in the cell.
I'm not sure what is causing this issue. My computer was updated recently from an old machine to a new one. I have never experienced this issue before.
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.
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 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.

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

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 am entering data for a month on one worksheet. The next month I change the date and reenter new data. I want another worksheet to record the data on a month to month basis, one month in one column, the other month in another column, to have year to date. Is there anyway to do this. Currently, I use an if statment =If(a1="January",b1), but I need to change these to values before I do the next month, and alter the formula to reflect the new month name)
View 11 Replies View Relatedif its possible to place a value (the product of a formula) into a cell ie:
Cell A1 = "a"
Cell A2 = "b"
I would like to be able to say: If A1="a" and A2="b", then place "Yes" into D1.
I realize that =if(and(a1="a",a2="b"),"Yes",0)
placed in D1 would give the same result, but I do not want to have a formula in D1, I simply want the characters "Yes" placed in there.
I am trying to input data validation on a calculated field. The calculated field (sum of 10 fields above it) must not total over 100%. I have used the following in the data validation menu: Allow: whole number. Data: less than or equal to 1
This doesnt seem to be working when I input values of a total greater to 100 from its input cells however, it does return an error if I manually input a number over 100%, then it gives me an error message. Edit - sample sheet attached.
to copy the calculated value of a cell to another worksheet.
I tried =IF('Actual Hours'!D2="*"&"LR"&"*",'Actual Hours'!D2,"")
which when copied down would return values with LR in them, however D2 is a calculated cell (='RAS SENT 2'!L2) so it returns a blank, and I dont want to just reference this other cell instead.
Is there a way to return the value of a cell?
I am trying to blank out Column D if there are no furthercalculations required. As you can see now by the example that I have attached the formula continues the calculation.

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

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
I've got a sample spreadsheet that I'm trying to get the MAX from a Range of cells that only begin with "TMP". Problem is, if I use MAX or SUM to try to calculate the largest number (or a sum, just to test), it returns "0" for the caluculated range. If I Copy and Paste Values, the MAX or SUM formulas still don't work.
Only if I edit the cell and hit the ENTER key will the Formula(s) work, for each cell in the range that I edit/ENTER. All cells are formatted the same (GENERAL), and I'm not working it into a VBA Macro (just yet).
I am having problem with getting a calculated cell to be blank if there is not data to be computed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've created a model starting from on another person's workbook, and I'm seeing an issue I haven't seen before.
For instance,
A1 = 10
A2 = 1.5
A3 = A1 * A2 = 15 (all good, so far)
If I change the number of A2 to 0 decimals places, the value shown will be 2 (which is correct, of course), but the value of A3 becomes 20. I would like for this to stay at 15 because the correct value of A2 is 1.5, not the rounded value of 2.
I have a filtered row that calculates values based on user input. I would like to take the calculated value of a cell in that row and place it as a static value in a different cell.
For example, the filtered row is row 85. The user inputs 5.5%. Cell AK85 calculates the value to be $100,000. Cell AK3 references the original row, which is 3. I would like to take the $100,000 value and place it in cell AK3 but as a static value and not based on a formula.
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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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:

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 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.
Code:
' 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

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do a formula that references a cell and returns a different result dependant on the number in the cell being referenced.
For example I've said if A1 has a 3 in it then put the word TEST as the result, plus if it has a 4 put the word RESULT.
What I wrote as my formula is as follows-
=IF(A1=3,"TEST")+IF(A1=4,"RESULT")
It works fine when I only use one result but goes wrong when I add two. If I change the words I want to show to numbers it comes up fine but with words it just returns a Value error.
