Inserting values from a UserForm to excel sheet which start from a fixed cell? - vba

Question

I have a Cell range Sheets("INVOICE MAKER").Range("D18:D37") (Total 20 Cells), and a little UserForm with name Add Items.
In UserForm there are one Textbox and one Submit Button.
So if I write something in that Textbox and click on Submit Button, Data should be write to next available empty cell in range Sheets("INVOICE MAKER").Range("D18:D37"). And if all 20 cells are filled with data then show a message like "No more rows are available to write data".
Below code don't start writing data from Cell D18, its start writing data from D1.
and doesn't stop after cell D37.
Option Explicit
Dim lRow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("INVOICE MAKER")
lRow = ws.Cells.Find(What:="*", SearchOrder:=xlRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, LookIn:=xlValues).Row + 1
'check for a part number
If Trim(Me.Textbox.Value) = "" Then
Me.Textbox.SetFocus
MsgBox "Please Type Item Name"
Exit Sub
End If
With ws
.Cells(lRow, 5).Value = Me.Textbox.Value
End With
End Sub

Hope below code will help you:
Public Working_Sheet As Worksheet
Public All_Cell_Value As Boolean
Public Write_Cell_No As Integer
Public Content As String
'When button in the form is clicked
Sub Button1_Click()
Write_Content
End Sub
'validation and content writing function
Public Function Write_Content()
All_Cell_Value = True
Set Working_Sheet = Worksheets("Sheet1")
For i = 18 To 37
If Trim(Working_Sheet.Cells(i, "D")) = "" Then
All_Cell_Value = False
Write_Cell_No = i
Exit For
End If
Next i
If All_Cell_Value = False Then
Content = InputBox("Enter the value")
If Content = "" Then
MsgBox ("No Data")
Else
Working_Sheet.Cells(i, "D").Value = Content
End If
Else
MsgBox ("Sorry content is full")
End If
End Function

Maybe this will help!
EDIT #1
Fix some errors, and the code must to be inside a Form, with the TextBox and the Button
EDIT #2
Added a closing statement for the userform or the macro
Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim lRow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("INVOICE MAKER") 'Set from Thisworkbook
ws.Activate 'activate the Invoice Maker
'lRow = ws.Cells.Find(What:="*", SearchOrder:=xlRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, LookIn:=xlValues).Row + 1
Dim iniCell As Integer: iniCell = 18
Dim endCell As Integer: endCell = 37
Dim setCol As Integer: setCol = ws.Range("D1").Column
'As you said, the range is D18:D37, then you can manipulate from this 3 vars
Dim iRange As Range
Dim i As Range
Dim isTheRangeFull As Boolean: isTheRangeFull = False
Dim iMsgbox As Integer
If Trim(Me.TextBox.Value) = "" Then
Me.TextBox.SetFocus
'Ask the user to retry or quit.
iMsgbox = MsgBox("Please Type Item Name" & Chr(10) & "Do you want to retry?", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1)
If iMsgbox = 6 Then
GoTo InsertData
'if the user say YES
'do it again
ElseIf iMsgbox = 7 Then
End
'if the user say NO
End If
End If
Set iRange = ws.Range(Cells(iniCell, setCol), Cells(endCell, setCol))
'set your working Range
'This Loop do the job!
For Each i In iRange
isTheRangeFull = True
'if there is no empty cell, won't enter the if, and
'the var continue TRUE, so there is no empty cells...
If i.Value = Empty Then
i.Value = Me.TextBox.Value
isTheRangeFull = False
'the Next line (End) Will close the Form and terminate the macro
'End
'The next line just close the userform
'Unload Me
'Decide which one to uncomment.
Exit For
End If
Next i
If isTheRangeFull Then
MsgBox "No more rows are available to write data"
End
End If
'With ws
' .Cells(lRow, 5).Value = Me.TextBox.Value
'End With
InsertData:
End Sub
