If I setup a spreadsheet for others to use and I want them to enter their own numbers in certain cells... BUT... restrict those numbers to be from, say 0 to 50... what is the formula or how is it done? In this example I do not want to allow negative numbers or numbers > 50.

I have a long list of data: a unique number identifier that needs to be grouped with text. Right now they are in two separate columns. I would like to have two large columns on a page, as if you were looking through a phone book. I have been trying to get this list to load into a finite number of rows before it breaks into another column on the same page. Then moves to the next page, so about 30 rows that are set 8 rows down on a page to account for company letter head.
I haven't paired the text and numbers together at all. But I haven't been able to find a way to have them move in a way that maintains their correspondence. I have gotten my numbers to move into the row column set I have wanted but not the text.
[LETTERHEAD] {1-7 rows}
1| Shims 31 |Shims 2

I need help with creating a macro that runs when a user enters a value in the 'Numbers' column, copies and pastes data in the corresponding worksheet 'Worksheet' column by the value of 'Numbers' column data. An excel file is attached.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there was a way that I can have a user only able to edit the worksheet that pertained to them in a workbook of many sheets. So if there was a sheet called "Alicia" and another one called "Love Child"; user Alicia would only be able to update info on the "Alicia" tab and user Love Child would only be able to update their info. Is this possible? Also can this be done for a particular row in a spreadsheet? So if row 3 has Alicia's info, she's only allowed to update the info on that row.

how do I let it create the groups itself?
I would like to be able to enter a number in cell a1. Let's say 44.2. I want that number to actually be locked in as 100'-0" in cell b1. Below in the next row I want to enter another number, lets say that one is 41.5 into cell a2. And then I want the cell b2 to return the difference in feet and inches. So ultimately the only cells that I will entering data into is in column a and column b would just return information.
The other thing I am trying to figure out is a formula for converting decimal feet to feet and inches (which I have found) but a formula that is less than 40 characters.
Im trying to enter an employees name into a data list. I have a program that generates a list including their employee number into column B. I want to write something to put the employee name into column C. Im working with 60+ employees so i dont think if statements will work? anyway to reference a chart or table with the numbers and names on it?
View 9 Replies View Relatedif I use the following formulae in A1 and fill it down, I get the serialization 1,2,3....etc. =(INT((ROW()-1)/1)+1)*1
But if I begin formulae at A11 and fill down, I get 11,12,13.....etc. Now I type 1 in A11, how do I modify the formula so that A12 will be 2, A13 will be 3, A14 will be 4 and so on ?
I am entering values in columns AV and BD of the attached spreadsheet. Rather than manually editing each value to adopt the decimal place value of the adjacent cell is there a formula that can achieve this before the value is entered? The decimal place values are determined using a VLOOKUP table (column3) on the NES tab.

e.g. If you have agreed not to input the number 7 more than 3 times in a

I want to pick the last number entered in column and put it in a formula. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I have to stack a lot of IFs in a string.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have been working on a spreadsheet with 3 sheets and have done everything except the last function which I just can't work out. Data is entered on the first sheet in a list with an item number, description, dates etc and then finally, if they are a certain type of item, a variation, a 'variation number' in a column.
The next sheet is then called 'variations' and here starts my problem. I want to have a formula that picks up if a variation number has been entered on sheet one in the 'variation number' column and if so, add that item into this sheet, in order.
So to summarise, I need sheet 2 to search on sheet 1 in a specific column for numbers 1-30(ish) for a series of items. I then need sheet 2 to list each of these in order, copying over each item that goes with the number from sheet 1 in the same format.
I am trying to simply count the number of times each entered name appears on my list IE if John Smith appears 3 times in one sheet, in a column after his name would simply be the number 3. I tried this doing =COUNTIF(A8,A:A) Where A8 is his name and column A is all names. I keep a return value of 0 every time!!!!! I even tried =COUNTIF(A7,A12) where they were both the same names. And yes,I did do Ctrl + Shift - enter

I want to incoroprate into my Workbook a sheet with a list of phone numbers, that sheet can be added to and more numbers entered if necessary and will be called "DATA"
The questions is this. If one of those numbers in the "DATA" sheet is entered in any other sheet in the workbook can the cell that number has been written on (not the one on the data sheet) be made to change colour?
My colleague in accounts has a sheet that lists all the invoices and values and other 'accounts department things' that I know little about.
Anyway, she has to manually input all the invoices she receives onto this excel document but sometime receives duplicate invoices (& inputs them twice be accident).
Is it possible for someone with macro skills to create a macro to run in a worksheet so that if she enters a number in a given column more than once an alert box appears to tell her. I've summarised the 'rules' below*
*Can is be written so that I can edit which column the alert is based on?
[In (for example) column F is a list of invoice numbers - all unique]
If user types a number in column F that matches a number that already exists, show alert box "THERE APPEARS TO BE A DUPLICATE ENTRY IN COLUMN F"

Any further clarification, let me know i'll try to post a blank sheet if my boss lets me.
Example;
Cell 1 equals a number
Cell 2 is the number entered into cell one times(X) 35 up until the number 6 is entered. Any number above 6 is Times 50. So. 1-6 is times(X) 35 while 6+ is Times(X) 50.
I am. Here's another example:
A salesperson gets a commission of $35 for each widget sold up to the first 6 widgets. If he sells more than six widgets, he gets paid $35 for the first 6 and $50 for anthing over 6.
The sales person will enter the number of widgets sold into a cell and the formula should do the rest.
I have been stuck on this for months.
I've done lots of looking on the forum, and the helpfiles, but just cant seem to format my text box properly! Its a form where the user inputs to the text box. I want to control thatway where they enter numbers e.g 05052008 and it gets converted to 05/05/2008 or 05-05-2008. I've tried a range of things, but am really stumped!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI created this formula =G2*2.9%+.3
what I am trying to do is take the number in the G column multiply it by 2.9% and add 0.30. For instance if 20.00 is in the G2 cell, the number I want the formula to produce is .88
the formula works for me but what happens is the rest of my sheet that does not have any numbers in the G column gets filled with .30
How do I prevent the formula from calculating if the G column is blank?
I have Two Sheets in same workbokk.
Sheet1 Sheet2
Sheet1 B2 = "any numeric value (whole digit i.e 10 or 55 like) - user input "
Sheet2 Starting point is cell B3.
What need to happen - As soon as user enter number in Sheet1 B2 = any value say, 20 then,
Sheet2.Select
Range("B3").select
suppose i assign value p as,
dim p
sheets("sheet1").select
p = range("B3).value
now here i want to indetify this number, i.e.- 20 (User input) and then as soon as user enter this value,
step 1 - sheet2 get select.
step 2 - from B3 sheet2, by row wise it select next 20 row as well next 20 columns.
for eg.- from B3, the data should select like following,
B3 to U22.
and this selected area highlight with single border only. That's it.Therefore, my main problem is how excel will understand this numeric number ?
I am trying to use VLOOKUP to auto-populate a description from an entered part number. After checking up on how to do this in several different places I applied this formula to the relevant cell but all that it returns is #N/A.
I am very confused as all seems to be correct, but I am new to this and I am sure I am missing something silly. :P
On entering a part number into cell C13 on sheet 'Stores Receipt' it should search and find that number in column A on sheet 'Product List', it should then return the adjacent description from column B on sheet 'Product List' and show this in cell C17 on sheet 'Stores Receipt'.... Sounds simple hey! :D
The formula used is:

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have taken over a workbook that due to various constraints elsewhere I cannot change the structure.
Each of the three columns in question C, E & F have dropdown validation lists.
Column C is either Import or Export
Column E is a list of locations where work is Imported From
Column F is a list of locations where work is Exported To.
Based on whatever choice is made in column C either Import or Export I only want the user to be able to select a value in E or F.
So if Import is selected then a value cannot be entered in F
let's suppose I have a prefixed range like A1:A300 in which periodically I need to enter some records (normally numbers but also sometime blank cells - i.e. void no entries); so imagine you have an array of cells in which I want to catch by mean of a formula or a macro the last entered significative record (i.e. a number); the objective is obviously to catch the last significative record in that given range having numbers in it (i.e. leaving out any blank cells in between); no other clues to approach the problem are given: do you think it's possible to sort out somehow this tricky problem ?
example:

45

#
545
#
22
where # stands for blank cell
how to catch 22?
We published a 2003 spreadsheet for people to enter expense information, but some get cute and add worksheets to it (instead of sending in multiple spreadsheets). How can prevent a worksheet to be added to our spreadsheet?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get a macro that converts Japanese digits to their Roman counterparts but does it only in a specific column. My original version just selected the J column and then Cells.Replace ran just fine on just that column. I have discovered, however, that the users may make the crucial column either J or K, so I changed it to search for the header first, and then select that column. It replaces in the entire sheet, however.
Here's what I've got (I've only given you one digit replacement. The What doesn't display properly because this forum doesn't display Japanese):
I currently have an input screen where users copy and paste data from a seperate spreadsheet into a range of cells B11:B15 in the input screen.
A macro is assigned to then extract this data and paste into the recording sheets behind.
I would like to format somehow cells B11:B15 so that only numeric entries can be pasted in and not any alpha including #.
I have a cell in a spreadsheet which has a lot of text entered. The spreadsheet needs to be used by another application (Business Objects).
My problem is that I need to limit the number of characters entered in the cell to 255 characters. I know I can use Data, Validation to limit the text length, but this only works once all the data has been entered, then a message is displayed.
My ideal soulution would be:
When a user is entering text and has reached my 255 character limit, no more text can be entered;
or
When a user is entering text and has reached my 255 character limit, the text automatically continues in the next cell.
A not so elegant solution (but a usable) would be:
A character counter to let the users know when 255 characters have been reached.
