View 2 Repliescontent from form is captured via formulas to a CIMLoad format on another tab
Users keep entering four to six decimal places in weight value
I need to limit the cell to either whole numbers, or a maximum of 2 decimal places
The cell is formatted to two decimal places, but when you activate the cell it shows the full value they entered, and so does my CIMLoad
How to I limit the value in this cell to whole numbers or numbers with a maximum of two decimal places?
When you want to use Data Validation to limit the entry of the number of characters to a cell does this apply only to the cell that you are entering the characters or can it also apply to a cell that contains a LEN(A1) formula, for instance? Also,does the Data Validation limitation function includes spaces as well? Will the message appear while you are entering the characters (when it has reached the limit) or will it wait until you have hit Enter?
View 1 Replies View Relatedi have an address that is all in one cell displayed like
101 hampton Court, Hampton heath, Hampton Town, Hamptonshire, HA01 1AS
but i need to have it split in to individual cells so
Cell A1 would be 101 hampton court
B2 Hampton Heath
C2 Hampton Town
D3 Hamptonshire
E5 HA01 1AS
each part of the address is split by a comma, so i have tried to use that as a identifier as to where that part of the address is, but failed on that, i can separate out the first part and the post code with a find and replace but not the middle.
also i need it to work backwards ie
it finds the post code first,
then the county
then the town
as those 3 are always the last 3 parts, but the address could only have 1 line of addres beofre the town or 3, and it would get messed up as all the post codes, county ans town needs to be in their respective columns
Basicaly what I am trying to accomplish is the use of a single cell to enter the values 1 thru 60, so starting at e2 for instance, if I enter the number 1 then cell f2 will populate with a 1, if I were to enter the number 18 then the cell w2 would populate with an 18. So the range of cells that need to populate in this example would be (f2:BM2) for row 2. Furthermore if I were to enter a -1 or a -18 in cell e2 then those numbers would be eliminated from the appropriate cells on row 2. The next 299 rows would need to perform the same way for a total of 300 user input rows.
The way that I'm imagining e2 would behave in the example would be...type a 1 then enter....18 then enter....31 then enter and so on. Columns f thru bm would locked and unselectable....so a tab should send me back to a3.
Reasoning.... this is a simple scoring system based on 60 codes and data integrity is very important and I want to eliminate as much human error as possible. I will be setting autofilters and such later on.
I am attaching a screencapture as well.
I want to limit data entry in a range of cells to Y or N (Upper Case)
I have tried data validation, list, but this still allows y or n, I want just Y or N
I have a userform with two pop up calendars (calendar1 and calendar2). Calendar1 is the "start date" and must be a Monday. I have this portion working fine. If they select a date other than a Monday an alert message will pop up notifying the user a Monday must be selected. I need to limit the user to a date selection in calendar2 to be a minimum of three years out from Calendar1. I would like an alert message to pop up in Calendar2 should the user select a date inside of my three year minimum. Am I even in the ballpark with the following:
If Trim(Calendar2.Value) < (Calendar1.Value + "not sure here") Then
Calendar2.SetFocus
MsgBox "Select End Date 3 Years Out From Start date", vbExclamation
I have a user form with textboxes on it, in some text boxes, text should be entered, but in some number should be entered, and in some date is required, but How can control the entry, if some one type text instead of number, then it should not be accepted. NOTE: Before I have seen such example here, that uses the KeyPress event.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet in which i am asking a user to enter manually a number in cell E3. Suppose the user starts with 100, then the next time he is entering in E3 he shoudnt be able to enter 100 nor any number less than 100. I dont have a range for the numbers that the user is going to enter.Therefore countif function does not work. Is there any way that i an store the number taht the user enters first in cell E3 and then use that database to avoid the user from entering the same or a number lesser than that number.????

But if the value in F4 is CCP, I need H18 to allow anything. I'm having trouble adding this to the first part.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow to set up a sheet with single-keystroke data entry. I am writing a sheet to store golf scores. I need to be able to key in scores at a high rate of speed.
The allowed data are: 1, 2, 3, 4,5 6, 7, 8, 9. I want the operator to be able to press 3 (or Alt-3) and get:a) a 3 is typed into the cell.
b) the cursor moves to the right one cell.
Etc. for 1 thru 9.
I would like to be able to enter a number in a single column, and then Excel adds this number to a total column each time it is updated.
This is for entering via a PDA, so I need a simple entry method, ie to enter a figure, and then keep a running total every time a new figure is entered. This would only use the one column and overwrite the number each time, rather than adding up individual columns.
The attachment shows the items listed in column A, column C3 - C10 would be where I would like the number of items entered, and as I go round, I would just update the last figure. I would like the figures from C3 - C10 to be added to the Total column D3 - D10 for each item.
I have a percentage in R3.
If I make an entry in D13 then I want the R3 to be duplicated into C27 otherwise C27 should be 0.
have a set of numbers ranging from 1-25 in column A1-A25 in descending order. I want to have a column B1-B25 which outputs numbers in column A up to a maximum of 5.
Eg.
column A
25, 6, 5, 3, 1, 0
I want in column B
5, 5, 5, 3, 1, 0
Is there a way to make the find and replace function not stop when a cell is too large? Instead, make it pass over the large cells and move on to the next cells? Is there a function that gives the number of characters in a cell? If so, one could sort by cell size and then work around the cells that are too large?

Is there a way of limiting the amount of characters you can enter in each cell?
Also is there a way to apply this to an existing sheet that has cells with more characters in it than I would like? ie. If an existing cell has 25 characters in it, could i cut it down to the first 10?
I understand that exceeding approx 4000 cell formats causes the message "Too many cell formats" and a freezing up Excel.
Are there versions of Excel (2007?, Vista?) for Windows XP that significantly increase the 4000 limit, and if there are, what are their limits on the number of cell formats?
how I could split a cell's contents into two cells when it contains more than 1024 chars? The code would need to be clever enough to split the data after the nearest full stop before the 1024 char limit.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to limit a text cell to 40 characters. If greater than 40 characters are entered, the rest is truncated. Can this be done without VBA?
I have limited it by going Data - Validation
This has done two things. 1. Gives an error box with Error Alert Turned on. 2. Allows greater than 40 characters to be entered if Error alert is turned off.

I have data in a sheet in Excel 2007 that I am trying to move to another sheet in the same workbook.
I am using Vlookup to move the info from one sheet to the other.
However it seems that if the data in the original sheet cell is too large I get a #VALUE! error.
If I copy and paste the info from the cell it is fine.
How do I copy the information (hyperlink) in the original sheet cell to the destination sheet cell?
Here is the formula that I am using.
=HYPERLINK(VLOOKUP(A67,'verified1-4-12'!B:E,4,0))
verified1-4-12 is the original sheet name
trying to limit the number of characters entered in a cell.
I clicked on Custom then =LEN(A10)=6 which works when i enter more or less than 6 characters, however it lets you paste in something which has more than 6 charters.
I think it's an easy one but for the life of me I can't get around it. ccasionally while re-typing data in fields with the intention of saving-as a new file, an error message appears saying "no more than 20 characters" This happens even when the number of characters is LESS than 20! I have tried clearing cell contents, copying & pasting, re-setting conditions/parameters for columns/rows etc., and nothing seems to work with any consistency. Instead of looking for a work-around solution I'd like to find the actual corrective action.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI wish to limit the number of text characters in a cell and have excel prevent the entry of additional characters after limit is reached. I have tried the Data Validation but it does not preven the entry of additional characters. I want to be able to show the error immediately when the limit is reached and no additional characters are permitted.
View 3 Replies View RelatedCurrently using LEN to simply count 50 characters then it tells the user that they need to move onto the next line.
Is it possible with VBA that after 50 characters reached in the selected cell it forces the user into the next cell below and so on in a loop?
