User Box Options If Cell Entry Is A Duplicate Found In A Table Column
Aug 23, 2009
I have a table that i use for a customer database. and the end user adds new customers to this table, what i would like is for a message box to pop up whenever cell B2 matches an entry in a column in the customers table. the table starts on row 25, and the column i would like to check for duplicates is column B. I would like the message box to give the user the message "A customer by this name already exists, Would you like to load this customers file?" If the answer is yes, then the row that the match was found on would be copied and pasted onto row 1. if the answer is no, then nothing else happens. I hope this makes sense, i am posting this sheet of my workbook for reference.
I 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.????
this two column compare for duplicates and I manage to highlight (actually not bold) the number that is duplicate but I dont want to highlight the 2nd, 3rd & so on duplicate number in c3 (highlight 1 only from the 3 numbers most of the times got 2 only) . (row start from c3 to c2000 and d3 is up to d2000 also). I already use CF for highlighting the duplicate in C3 which my formula in CF is
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(c3:c3,$c$3:$c$780,0)),"",c3:c3) I just try to do this formula and it works, but I dont know how to command not to highlight the 2nd, 3rd & so on duplicate number in C3 (C3 only can have duplicate number within the column; D3 doesn't have any repeat number in the D column.
I need to do the same formula command for other 2 partner columns (compare for duplicates this two columns & the 1st column if have to many duplicates highlight the first number that have more than 1 duplicates only) cells need to do again is for E3 & F3; G3&H3; until AU3&AV3..
is it possible to count how many highlighted cell (not bold) there is in a column (I mean total highlighted cell) and put the answer in cell C1, E1, G1, I1 ... AS1 , AU1. Tq again..

I would like a loop that would run through the information in column A and if its duplicated delete the entire row… Also it needs to be able to handle 10 records to 10,000, it changes daily
I have a huge worksheet with 26 columns and 1200 rows. This worksheet is updated by 4 people everyday. Column C, H, N & R are updated daily by these 4 people so these are dynamic columns so to speak. I would like to have a VBA that informs that particular individual when he enters a duplicate data, maybe a popup saying duplicate entry.
Is there a macro to delete an entire row if a duplicate entry appears only in a certain column.
1. Look for the column header with the name "File Number" 2. Anytime the same number under the "File Number" column appears more than once in that column, keep the row that contains first occurrence of that number buy delete the entire row anytime that number is repeated in another row in that same column.
This is regardless of what is contained in the other columns. For example..let's say these cells contained this data...
In this case, I would want to keep rows 1, 2, and 3. But, I would want to delete rows 4 & 5 because the number "UTE00225" has already appeared first in B1. I'm using Excel 2003.
I want a MsgBox to pop-up to the user with 3 Options.
Option A, Option B, Cancel.
If user presses Option A GOTO 1: If user Pressed Option B GOTO 2:
And if Cancel End Sub, not sure if this is doable, please let me know. Basically I am writing this VBA to archive files from the network drive and there are two different kinds and depending on what Option the user chooses, the Destination variable needs to take on a different value, that's why I need this, unless there is a better way to do this.
Basically so far my code is like this:
Sub Archive_GTP()
Dim Nlog As Worksheet Dim DestinationFile, SourceFile Dim lr As Long Dim c As Range
Set Nlog = Worksheets("Log")..........................
I want to write a macro that asks the user for input, but not any input. The input has to be either "D", "IK" or "CI". I would like for the user to have to select one of these options.
I'm trying to limit the controls users have on a specific workbook. Problem is I would like for them to have this workbook open throughout the day and if I look all the controls then they will be locked out of these controls on other seperate workbooks they open. The only reason I ask is because of some awesome code I just found by Dave Hawley. The code is...
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object) With Application . CommandBars(1).Enabled = Not Sh. Name = "Sheet1" .CommandBars(" Formatting").Enabled = Not Sh.Name = "Sheet1" .CommandBars("Standard").Enabled = Not Sh.Name = "Sheet1" .DisplayFormulaBar = Not Sh.Name = "Sheet1" End With ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = Not Sh.Name = "Sheet1" End Sub
This works great with one exception. It will only block the menus for one Sheet. In my workbook I have 8 sheets and would like to apply this to 4 of them. Is there any way to modify code to hide menus on mores than one sheet. Also while I'm in the neighborhood. Is there a way to hide the sheet tabs for this workbook only. So once again if a user opened another workbook they would be there?
I need a macro that would change the cell background color in a calendar according to list of dates found in a table (Holidays & Vacations) which can changes on a yearly basis.
I have a userform that allows a user to enter data from columns A to P. I successfully installed a macro (which I got from this site:[url]
that deny a duplicate entry in Column A. The macro then "clears" the duplicate value in column A, which is okey. However, I need help for a code so that the rest of the entries from Column B to P (within the same row) will also be cleared automatically. I tweaked the "target.value" quite unsuccessfully.
how to even start this macro but i will like the macro to find duplicate with thin the same row and highlight it i have done with conditional formatting but the spreadsheet is about 3000 rows excel performance is super slow if anybody has a macro out there.
i'm suppose to create a code that searches a specific phrase/word in a row, then from that row, i want to mark the entire column, so that i can copy it and paste it in a new sheet
eg. find 'NE_KENNUNG', once it's found, mark the whole column "C"(the column may vary), copy the whole column, paste on to a new sheet
here's what i've written so far.. -------------------------------------------------------------
I've been given a spreadsheet that is poorly constructed but I'm not allowed to alter.
The layout is: Box Name Box Date ID1 ID2 ID3 .... Where there is not a fixed number of IDs in each box (There are five different sheets so I'll have some fun concatenating results)
Given a list of IDs I need to return the box name and box date that the ID's file sits in. The spreadsheet has blanks everywhere and the numbers contained in rows are non-consecutive and smaller values can appear later in a column than larger ones.
I think I need some combination of index, offset and maybe sumproduct? TBH, I avoid sumproducts like the plague, preferring to utilise sumifs and dynamic named ranges since this improves clarity so I'm basically a newb at them.
Any skeleton framework that you think would work to return the text values for the LHS where the number could be anywhere? Once I can see a rough example I should be able to get to grips with the logic and wrangle it into the necessary solution.
I am trying to write a match function to return the row of the value I search for. It is properly returning the value of the row I searched for. What I need to know is how do I get it to spit out information in the rest of the row. Here is my code so far:
Sub Rectangle2_Click() Dim x As Long Dim Row As Long
' Brings up input box x = InputBox("Please Enter Tool Information", "Search")
'Exits if nothing is entered in the text box 'If x = "" Then Exit Sub 'MsgBox (SearchString) 'SearchString = x MsgBox (x)
That gives me a Type mismatch error when I uncomment it out.
Something I was adviced of before in a situation like this way to Concatenate the columns, e.g =A2&B2&C2&D2&E2&F2 in a far left column (insert 1 if needed).
That was supposed to be so that I can search through multiple columns. When I do that to test it, it never comes up with results. It always comes back as 0 meaning it wasn't found.
What I would like to do is if a string e.g. "*12/18/09*" is found in column A, then place "1" in column B. There are many rows that I would like to search. Either a formula or VBA would be fine.
I have a form that information is entered in. At the end the user can then save the information in a spreadsheet by pressing a command button. The updating to the spreadsheet works, it is the part where the last entry is tested against the info on the form to prevent a duplicate entry that do not work.
I have tested that the program reads the info from the spreadsheet (see the commented lines).
I can attach the whole spreadsheet, but some of the entries on the form are linked to another spreadsheet that make it a bit cumbersome to attach two files.
VB: Private Sub cmdUpdate_Click() Dim lRow As Long Dim ws As Worksheet Set ws = Worksheets("TonnageInput")
I have a userform with a text box which asks for a Tag number which is then linked to a cell. Is it possible to show a warning dialogue box if a duplicate Tag number is entered?
how to set this up on a single cell also would like to see if code can be written for this?
I have been able to make a excel sheet which takes inputs from userform for First Name, Last Name, Address etc. I have included a duplicate check for column "B" for "First Name". This checks if any existing data is already which matches the new data input for "First Name" through userform.
The userform only checks for the "First Name" check as required and gives a message that duplicate has been found. Then I have to close the userform and do a Control Key+F ( to find the new name for example, James) in excel sheet and validate that new name is same or different from existing name "James". This I want to do since this new name "James" may be another "James" as his "Last Name" is different. So even though First Name is same, since Last Name is different I know they are two different persons. In that case I will add the entry manually in sheet, instead of userform, since I would not be able to input the new data for "James" since the duplicate check with the current code will not allow me to do so.
What I am current trying is -
1. If the new name say "James" is entered through userform, then excel should point me to the existing row where the record for existing name "James" is there, say row 4.
2. Now without closing userform I should be able to see in the background excel sheet the search results for "James", as excel is pointing to that now. There may be multiple "James" in the existing which should be pointed out.
3. Based on the results that I see in the background excel sheet I can now decide that, this new name "James" is different from old "James" (of row 4) since his Last Name is different. Accordingly excel code should then ask me to add this record or discard this new record.
4. Duplicate check for First Name is enough for me. I would not require "Last Name" duplicate check.
I hope I have been able to explain my problem. I have also attached my current code as I am not able to attach any sample test file.
I have a userform with 8 text boxes and users have to enter different numbers separated by commas like 1,5,6,15,28 and so on.
I want to put a validation that if a number is entered in any of the textboxes than the same shall not be allowed in any other textboxes. Even in the same text box, no duplicate number shall be allowed. ie if in a textbox 1,2,15 is entered , then in the same textbox also, user cannot enter 1 or 2 or 15 again.
i need to identify the first and last duplicat entrys and delete all rows in between. eg keep row 275 and 277 and delete row 276 all duplicates only in column C ..
Looking to find 1 of 2 words in a cell in column B and return the word found in the same row in column E. This seemed easy but I am not having any luck.
the cells in column B have several words in them but I am looking for 2 specific words "PLAT" and "ORIG". If the word is not in the cell, it should show a blank cell in column E in the same row, otherwise one of the 2 words should be in that row in column E. A VBA loop would be ideal but a formula that can do it might work as well.
