Validating A Worksheet Name
Jun 28, 2007
I have a macro that creates a new sheet, the name of which is based off of an input box. Does someone have some generic code to ensure that the user inputs a valid name? Here's what I have, it only checks to see if the name is a duplicate:
'Prompt user for the name of the output sheet
newsheetname = inputbox("Name Your Output Sheet:", "Notice!", "Margin Output")
'Check whether or not the name is taken
TestName:
For a = 1 To Sheets.Count
If Sheets(a).Name = newsheetname Then
newsheetname = inputbox("Name Taken. Please Rename Your Output Sheet:", "Notice!", "Margin Output")
GoTo TestName
End If
Next a

I have a drop down in IE in which four values are there
I will need to select each one at at time to make some change and move to next dropdown
the dropdown in IE should ideally have 4 dropdowns 01,02,03 and 04
However due to vendor errors we may have any of the above missing from dropdown or extra orderpoints in the dropdown like 05
IE.document.getElementById("vendororderpoint").value ="01" is the code to select order point 01
I need an alert in excel if any of the 4 dropdowns is missing.

It's the last road-block left to making this function work. The Problem is in the If...Then statement. If A is true the formula works, but is it is not, then it returns a value. The Expression
IBGLink = (E & CustomDate & EndOfLink)
works on its own, so there is an issue with
If Application.WorksheetFunction.IsError(A) Then
Does anyone know an alternative way of validating a variable or a trick of sort that can be used here. A to E and CustoDate and CustDatePN are declared as global variables.
Function IBGLink(IBG_URL As String, FrstDate As Date, ScndDate As Date, Optional EndOfLink As String)
A = Mid(IBG_URL, Application.WorksheetFunction.Find("/200", IBG_URL), 8)
B = Left(IBG_URL, Application.WorksheetFunction.Find("/200", IBG_URL))
C = Right(IBG_URL, Len(IBG_URL) - (Len(A) + Len(B)))
D = Left(C, Application.WorksheetFunction.Find(".200", C))
E = Left(IBG_URL, Application.WorksheetFunction.Find(".200", IBG_URL))
CustomDate = Format(FrstDate, "yyyymmdd")
CustDatePN = Format(ScndDate, "yyyymmdd")
If Application.WorksheetFunction.IsError(A) Then
IBGLink = (E & CustomDate & EndOfLink)
Else: IBGLink = (B & CustomDate & D & CustDatePN & EndOfLink)
End If ................

I have the following codes in a new workbook that has nothing else in it:
Private Sub Textbox1_Change()
OnlyNumbers
Sheet1. Range("A1").Value = TextBox1.Text
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox2_Change()
OnlyNumbers
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Click()
End Sub
This works fine in this workbook, however, if I try to use it in a workbook that has a lot of macros & userforms it doesn't work at all!

i am trying to make a user form with two msg boxes (To and From Date). In excel spreadsheet It was rather easy to bring a popup msg if they were invalid under some stated rules. see below a rationale of the rules where A3=From Date and B3 To Date and the desired outcome of is:
[Code] .......
So i wonder if it is possible to make a VBA code to validate these two dates? and bring a warning msg after keypress or after pressing submitcmd or any other available if available.

I'm attempting to require a numerical entry in a cell using data validation. The function =AND(ISNUMBER(cell),NOT(ISBLANK(cell))) does not perform as intended. Unchecking "Ignore Blank" has no effect. The ISNUMBER function evaluates to TRUE on a blank cell. When used outside of data validation, NOT(ISBLANK(cell)) evaluates to FALSE on a blank cell, making me think the AND(...) function should be sufficient.
Valid entries are any number, including 0.
Can this be done without VB?

I'm trying to automate a field in my file that tells me whether or not a promo code is valid.
Col F2 = Promo Start Date (example: 1/1/13)
Col G2 = Promo End Date (example: 5/1/13)
Col H2 = Valid? (Yes/No) (example: "Yes")
What formula would I put in H2?

I have a truth table, let's say it is an ordinary 2^3
ID 1234567 8
condition AYYYYNNNN
condition BYYNNYYNN
condition CYNYNYNYN
Currently I am pasting the results of a DB query into the left half of my sheet and I analyse this data using Excel functions in the right half.
Among these functions are cells that evaluate the conditions above, e.g.:
cond A is evaluated as true or false in column H
cond B is evaluated as true or false in column K
cond C is evaluated as true or false in column M
What I would like is a function to place at the end of the row (col T) which will display the ID of the relevant column in the truth table that the three values together correspond to, e.g.:
A=T, B=T, C=F gives result 2
A=F, B=F, C=T gives result 7

I have a excel sheet which has 2 columns
One has numeric values and other has description.
Each numeric value should match the description..
For eg:-
NoName23Vendor 145Vendor 278Vendor 380Vendor 5
The no should match the name
like this there are around 6000 matches
is there any possible way to include these many validations in one cell and display the result as "Good" or "Bad"

How do I force a dependent validated cell list to go blank (erase previous entry) if the origin cell is changed.
A1 = Fruit B1 selected as APPLE from validated list
A1 changed to = Vegetable but B1 stays as APPLE unless changed as well.
Can I force a B1 blank when A1 is changed to ensure B1 is correct?

I have been trying to achieve the following with formulas but have not been successful. I am making a simple schedule, and I am trying to validate the cells so that you can not schedule someone for multiple tasks during the same time range. In the example that I attached, Harry is diswashing from 1:00 - 4:00 but is also scheduled to paint from 2:00 - 5:00 (this should not be allowed). How can I achieve this with code?

I'd like to create a data validation with 1 dropdown list in the second worksheet in B4, relating to 3 cell ranges on the first worksheet (COS, Expenses & Capital). If 3 can't work, I've created 1 called 'dropdown' which incorporates all 3.
which formula I need to write into the validation, or what else I need to do in order to find a solution to this.

I have two userforms. When the user chooses the choice "Other" in the userform frmTradeSickOther, another userform called frmOther will be called. At this point, the user will enter some required comments in a textbox (called txtOther) and click the "Add Comment" button. If the user does not enter anything, a prompt will inform the user to type something in the textbox.
My problems: Once the user clicks okay to the prompt, frmOther is called back. When it's called back, I want the cursor to blink in the textbox. Eventhough I have SetFocus on the textbox, it does not work. I don't know why.How do I prevent the user from just hitting enter (i.e., accepting blank lines as comments) and bypassing the commenting part. The code below accounts for hitting enter once (i.e., one blank line), but not multiple times. How do I do this?
Here is what I have when the user clicks on the "Other" choice in frmTradeSickOther:
Code:
Private Sub optOther_Click()
Unload Me
frmOther.Show
frmOther.txtOther.SetFocus 'This gets the cursor to blink in textOther when frmOther is called.
End Sub
Here is what I have when the user clicks the "Add Comment" button on frmOther:
Code:
Private Sub btnAddComment_Click()
On Error Resume Next
txtOther.Value = Trim(txtOther.Value) 'This is to make sure spaces aren't accepted as a comment.
If Me.txtOther = vbNullString Then
Me.Hide
MsgBox "Please enter the necessary information.", vbInformation, "Required Field"
Me.Show
Me.txtOther.SetFocus 'Here is where I set focus on txtOther.
Exit Sub
End If
'Everything below is to add comments automatically to each cell when a value is changed.
Application.CommandBars("Cell").Controls("Delete Comment").Enabled = True
If Not ActiveCell.Comment Is Nothing Then
Application.CommandBars("Cell").Controls("Edit Comment").Enabled = True
Range(curCell).ClearComments

I'm trying to write a formula that passes or fails a value.
Example: The user types into a cell "ABC 123"
The ABC is a constant therefore it is just a matter of IF=(D10="ABC","pass","fail")
However the 123 must be equal to another cell (d4)
So the formula I'm trying to write looks something like IF=(D10="ABC" + D7, "pass","fail").
This does not work, any better methods?

I want to inform my users via a message box if they have not entered the previous month's information. The months are populated via a User form using a combo box selection. The months start from April through to March and are entered into the worksheet range ("aa3").
Data is entered monthly by the team. I don't know how to begin with this. I've managed to inform them when they've already entered that months information, but I don't know where to begin with this.

while trying to limit the user's input to a userform textbox to no avail. For example one textbox on the form should only be numbers and I therefore want to restrict the user to typing in a two digit code like 02 or 72 (not for calculations). Another textbox I only want to allow the user to input 6 characters in the format letter, four numbers and a letter. If the user inputs the wrong stuff a message box pops up and the focus is reset

I'm trying to validate 2 cells and if both matches it should return a value from column 3
I've gotten so far as it would return a error when criterea is not met.
However is it finds a match it always returns the first value.
My current formula is: =INDEX($C$24:$C$29,(AND(MATCH(A12,$A$24:$A$29,1),MATCH(B12,$B$24:$B$29,0))))
I can't find a way to make Excel validate the first 2 columns and return the value from column 3.

Here's where i'm struggling: I need the form to validate data before submitting. Namley, the form must not allow null values to be submitted and will show a message box telling the user what is needed.
Below is what i've got so far. I've tried playing around with this but am struggling to implement the above functionality:

I'm currently developing a calendar that has a list in it with lets say 4 options. What I want the calendar to do is calculate at a specific 'cell' the number of entries that are selected during the month.
The idea is to have a drop down on each 'day' and a counter that calculates the number of times one specific options has been selected. Once the option has been selected the 'day' will change to the corresponding color.

I have generated a matrix in excel through iteration (I'm trying to calculate a dinamic covariance matrix between 50 values) which looks like this:.......
A 50x50 matrix. What I have generated in each cell is not the formula, but the text of the formula. Somehow Excel has a valid formula in a specific cell, but "doesn't know yet" that within the cell there is no longer a text. So, to make every formula run, I have to go cell by cell pressing F2, then enter, 2.500 times. Notice that in each formula I don't have something like this:
+"+COVAR(Rends!C4:AB4;Rends!C4:AB4)" or
'+COVAR(Rends!C4:AB4;Rends!C4:AB4)
but the valid formula: +COVAR(Rends!C4:AB4;Rends!C4:AB4)

I am trying to find out how many projects might be active as of a certain date.
I have a tab in excel that contains project data. For each project there is a "Start Date" and there might be an "End Date"
My question is, how do I count all the rows where the start date is Less than a given date and the end date is after a given date? The wrinkle is... if the end date is empty then obviously it should be counted as well (assuming the start date is still before the given date).
Here are the approaches I've used thus far:
=SUMPRODUCT(1*( AND(OR(RawMetrics!P:P > A2, RawMetrics!P:P = ""), RawMetrics!$O:$O < A2 )))
=COUNTIFS(RawMetrics!P:P,">"&Sheet1!A2,RawMetrics!O:O,"

I have a workbook with 4 worksheet that store different type of data. It also has a userform that load at start of the application which is to search the data in the workbook. The userform has a combobox where the names of the sheets are stored. when the user selects say Sheet2 in the combobox, it enables the relevant textboxes on the userform and activates the worksheet at the change event. The userform has a search button that searches all the worksheets based on the text entered in a textbox.
The problem: how to search based on 1 textbox. What I want is: say for e.g the end-user selects sheet2 from the combobox, this intern enables 4 textboxes (Name, DOB, Nationality, ID #) on the userform. The end-user should have the liberty to enter data in 1 and/or any of the textboxes. The search should be performed, that if data is only in 1 of any of textboxes then give all rows that fit that criteria and display in a temp worksheet. if say the name and dob is filled by the user than what matches both should be displayed in a temp worksheet. if say dob, name and ID# given so the search button should narrow down to fit all 3 criteria and then display result in temp worksheet. As if mentioned data can be entered in either just 1 or any or all textboxes.
E.g. the worksheet is (Columns are Name, Nationality, DOB, ID#)
row 1 = name: Steven Martin, DOB: 27-may-1993, Nationality: Trinidad & Tobago, ID #: 1234567
row 2 = name: Gary Richards, DOB: 2-FEB-1993, Nationality: British, ID #: 456789
row 3 = name: David Cohen, DOB: 27-May 1993, Nationality: American, ID #: 98765
row 4 = name: Roberto McDonalds, DOB 21-Jul-1962, Nationality: British, ID # 654321
row 5= name: Gary Richards, DOB: 01-Dec-1978, Nationality: Australian, ID # 1234567
Now if the user enters only name as "Gary Richards" and search then row 2 and 5 should be displayed in a temp worksheet. if user enters name Roberto McDonald and ID# 1234567 then it should not display anything. if user enters DOB 27-may-1993 and nationality British and ID # 1234567 then as well shouldn't display anything and should a msgbox "no data found".

I need to reference the projected and actual expenses from the total on worksheet 'expenses' So i did so, however, if I change the drop down on the expenses worksheet to only display housing data, then the projected and actual expenses on my budget worksheet changes as well to the new data portrayed on the expenses worksheet.
I need to reference the cell, without it changing when I change the category display, but I need the cell to change accordingly if I enter new data in the overall tablet on the expenses worksheet.
Or do I need to create a seperate worksheet that has the data in and reference my cells on my budget worksheet to that new worksheet?

I've been tackling this data capture/paste issue for a week or so. I found the string below which does provide a good foundation for my challenge. But, my basic level of understanding macros limits my modifications to meet my needs.
[URL] ......
I have 20 worksheets in my master file corresponding to Excel files individual associates will update weekly. After the associates have updated their individual files for the week, I want to capture the data entered and paste values into a master file containing a worksheet for each associate (sharing the same name as the individual associate file). All of these files are housed on team SharePoint sites.
I need a macro to perform several steps after clicking a "Run Update" macro button in the master file:
Open individual associate fileIn master file, search for each Initiative listed in column B (starting cell B3) in the individual associate file (in column B starting at cell B11)If Initiative is found in individual associate file, copy adjacent data in columns D:J for the respective rowIn master file, paste values to the corresponding Initiative row for the corresponding week's worth of dataIf Initiative is not found in the individual associate file, move to the next Initiative listed in the master fileRepeat these steps for each individual associate file
Linking would be the easiest way to accomplish this if I wanted to have a multitude of weekly individual files for the associates. However, I'd rather each associate have one file for them to update (basically overwriting their previous week's entries).
I need to ensure the paste values corresponds to the appropriate day of the week. In simpler terms, if the date in the individual associate file in cell D9 reads Oct 1, 2012, the data captured from that row needs to be pasted to the corresponding row/column in the master file that reads the same date.

coding a VBA macro for one of my workbooks, in which I need to be able to hide/unhide various rows in one worksheet depending on the value of a cell in a worksheet elsewhere in the workbook. The rows start off hidden by default.
As a simplified example:
Worksheet1 has a cell that has option "Set 1," and "Set 2." Worksheet2 has two sets of rows (say, 20:30 and 40:50) that need to be hidden/unhidden depending on the cell in Worksheet 1. These are hidden to start with!
So if Worksheet1's target cell says "Set 1", then on Worksheet2, rows 20:30 would stay hidden and rows 40:50 would be revealed, and then if the target cell says "Set 2," then on Worksheet 2, rows 40:50 would then be hidden, but rows 20:30 would then be revealed.
I was thinking of using something like this:
Rows("20:30,40:50").EntireRow.Hidden = True
If Target.Address="'Worksheet1'!A1" Then
If Target.Value = "Set 1" Then
Rows("40:50").EntireRow.Hidden = False
Else
Rows("20:30").EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
End If
I think this might work, but every time I try to run this I get various errors, like not referencing my target cell correctly.
