how can I make a column mandatory?
basically if someone puts data in column C, they have to put data in column D
(people are not putting important information on my spreadsheet, so i would like to make that column mandatory)
I trying to require data entry in Cell 2 if Cell 1 contains text. Normally Cell 1 is blank but once the user enters data (its a text field) I want Cell 2 to then become mandatory for data entry. (Cell 1 is actually C5 and Cell 2 is actually DK5. So formula I am thinking if is: If C5 contains data then DK5 must also contain data. If C5 is blank, the DK5 is also blank.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am currently trying to adapt the following code which is in VBA (Sheet1). It currently ensures mandatory cell entry of cell C2 before saving, and if this is not done then it would not save the item into the relevant directory. I would like to adapt this code so that cells B2 to R2 are all mandatory, and if they are not filled in a message box with the cell title (which would be in B1 to R1) would pop up. If the cells are not filled in then it will not save (the same function it carries out for cell c2 currently). The code is attached to a command button, i have tried to make the additional cells mandatory by playing around with the If Trim(.cells(2, 3).value) part of the code with the AND function etc however i have had not had any luck.

For example:
If column B has "agency" then column C must be completed stating which agency was used?
However sometimes column B could say "no agency" therefore column c doesn't need filling!

what i want to achieve is that when someone comes to close the
spreadsheet , If they have not filled in all the fields required it will
put up a notice to say that field **** must be completed.
i have created a form hich dumps into a database.
There are some mandatory fields which need to be filled in by the user on the form - how can i flag these up at the end of the form - with a message box which says - "cant complete - feild "" "" "" are missing "
I have a worksheet which will be sent out of our organisation to a supplier for them to complete, save and return to me. I have a number of cells in the worksheet which I want to be mandatory. ie if no information is entered in the cell they will get a warning when they attempt to save the file down but will be unable to save it without filling in the cell. I was also going to colour the cells to identify them as mandatory. The cells are in random positions on the worksheet and different worksheets sent to different suppliers may have a differing number of coloured cells.
Is there a way to have one macro which finds the coloured cells (red), checks that there is an entry in each cell . If it is, allows a save. If it is not populated, displays a warning and stops them saving the worksheet until it is populated and is useable for all worksheets regardless of how many red cells are on the sheet and the position of them? If so how would it look?
I have two combo boxes (created using the control toolbox), and I would like to have the second combo box (pricing analyst approval) be a mandatory field if the combo box value above it (Loss Type) is V-VII only.

Is it possible to make Column C a required field if "No" is selected in column B.
So basically if cell b4 is "No" then i want to make it manditory that cell C4 is filled out with a reason why.
Same thing for cell b5 then i would like cell c5 filled out before they continue using the sheet. etc.
I have a form (Excel, of course) which needs to be filled following some criteria. I have a filed name "Clause of non-compete" and you have to choose between YES and NO.

I am creating an excel file for my company. This file contains 18 headers (from Columns A to R), all of which are mandatory to be completed.
This file is used by several other colleagues with the intention to update our records almost on a daily basis, and saved by them daily before being checked by me.
I would like to know if there is a macro to be used in order to prevent them from saving the file if all the fields are not completed. (ie. A5 to R5)
This function should only run right up to the next blank row.
Eventually, I would like the users to complete all cells from A5 to R5.
Should a single cell not be completed, an error message will pop-up.
When the next person accesses the file to enter their data underneath, it will again, not allow them to save until all the mandatory fields are filled out.
I have looked at another very similar link but it does not work and I do not know how to tweak it.
The example given is for when the data is in Column A.
The headers on my file are on Row 1 (Column A to R).

I am using Excel 2003. I need to make a mandatory field for TextBox1 on UserForm2. So if the user leaves TextBox1 "blank", then they are forced to enter in data into TextBox1.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking to create a file that would force our sales rep (over 20 people in the company) to fill out certain fields in the excel spreadsheet before submitting the data to other teams. Often times the information is missing which makes many people unhappy. I am new to VBA excel and found the code below online but it does not seem to work. My goal is to have sales people fill out cells, C12, C14, C15, C16, B12, B14, B15, B16 (which are merged cells) and J12, J13, J14, J15, J16, K12, K13, K14, K15, K16 (also merged) and J5 before closing. The code below does not work correctly because as soon as the information is entered just in one cell, excel ignores other 'mandatory' but blank cells and allows the user to close the file. E.g. if info was entered in J5 when other cells were left blank, excel allowed me to close the file.
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
If Cells(12, 3).Value = "" And Cells(12, 4).Value = "" And Cells(13, 3).Value = "" And Cells(13, 4).Value = "" And Cells(15, 3).Value = "" And Cells(15, 4).Value = "" And Cells(16, 3).Value = "" And Cells(16, 4).Value = "" And Cells(12, 10).Value = "" And Cells(12, 11).Value = "" And Cells(13, 10).Value = "" And Cells(13, 11).Value = "" And Cells(14, 10).Value = "" And Cells(14, 11).Value = "" And Cells(15, 10).Value = "" And Cells(15, 11).Value = "" And Cells(16, 10).Value = "" And Cells(16, 11).Value = "" And Cells(5, 10).Value = "" Then

My requirement is something like this. I have a workbook where end-users can fill data and send it to our system. They might enter any rows of data, it can be just 1 or even 100. I want to force users to fill in values in few mandatory fields : columns in B,C,D,E. Now I need a VBA code that should throw a message when it finds that the value in cells B,C,D,E are blank.
Since I am not sure how many rows of data the user can fill, I dont know how to code in VBA the above scenario. I cant give a range as the total rows of input data is not available and static value.
I need to be able to have users complete a range of mandatory cells before they are able to close a workbook.
Foe example cells c5,c10,i11, i18,i22 i24,i26 etc etc need to have data in them before uses is allowed to save or close the workbook. I would like to have a message box prompt to alert them to the issue.
I need a macro that will check that the cells B1,C1,D1,E1 and one of the cells F1,G1,H1,I1 are filed out upon entry in A1.
If Not IsEmpty(.Range("A1")) Then
If WorksheetFunction. CountA(.Range("B1,C1,D1,E1")) <> 4 Then
MsgBox "All cells in row 1 are not filled out"
Application.Goto .Range("A1:I1")
Exit Sub
But how do I get it to also check that either F1 or G1 or H1 or I1 is also filled out. If possible I also would like it to beimpossible to add text in more then one of the cells F1:I1. Summary, upon entry in A1 I want cells B1:E1 plus one of the cells in F1:I1 to be mandatory, so in total there will be 5 mandaory cells.
I want the macro to check the rows 17 to 1000 if there is a value in column E on respective row. I have this, it works fine but I have to cupy it approx 1000times, that is for every row and then change the row 17 to 18 and 19 ...1000, There must be an easier way?

We have spreadsheets which record our sales team's prospects and orders. In order for the sales director's summary spreadsheet to be correct, the month which the order came in has to be filled in and correct.
What I would like to be able to do is when column K of a line is turned to "100 - Purchase Order In", a message to pop up saying something along the lines of "Is the Month In correct?"
Looking through previous answers, I think that this is something along the lines of what I need:
Sub Print_Out()
With Range("d6")
If .Value = "" Then
.Select
MsgBox ("Make sure you enter your surname")
Exit Sub
End If
End With
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
End Sub

I am trying to save an excel file with the following features set up:
1. the user of the file should fill the mandatory fields (possibly highlighted in green) without fail
2. upon saving, the file should only save if all the mandatory fields are keyed / filled in.
in case of empty cells left as per the above, there should be pop-up messages asking to fill the details.
here is what I tried. however, i cant seem to get the pop-up messages. I guess I am missing out on giving some commands that make it mandatory to fill.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
If Sheets("Sheet1").Range("G11") = "" Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Client has not been filled in"
End If
If Sheets("Sheet1").Range("g12") = "" Then

I have the below code that I am using to find an empty textbox with the name FirstName. All it does is place the cursor in the FirstName text box if the textbox is empty, but doesn't really make it stand out. I was hoping to find a way to color the background of the textbox pink, or have it set up so it would stand out somehow.

I have found a code for mandatory cell, but it creates a second macro and i was not able to link the two.The mandatory field has drop down of employee's and it is located in the cells D78:E78.
I need to write a macro that will create a new sheet called "Export Format" and it's A Column needs to be exactly the same as the A Column in another sheet called "Master". I'v been trying to look it up since I have never used VB before, but my boss needs this done soon so i thought I'd ask. This is just a small part of what i need to do but I think it will give me the start I need.
