I don't understand why I get the error message repeated many times when data is inserted wrong more then 2 times i.e. column A. So if 3 mistakes are in column A, then the message pops up 3 times. I set Mwarning as boolean but I guess it is not set properly.
Can anyone guide me in solving this issue?
Dim aRec As Worksheet, bRec As Worksheet, wb As Workbook
Dim match
Dim Mwarning As Boolean
Dim c as long
Set wb = Excel.ActiveWorkbook
Set aRec = wb.Worksheets(1)
Set bRec = wb.Worksheets(2)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For c = 2 To aRec.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
match = Application.match(aRec.Cells(c, 1).Value, bRec.Columns(2), 0)
If IsError(match) And Not IsEmpty(aRec.Cells(c, 1)) Then
aRec.Cells(c, 1).Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
MsgBox "Mistakes are in column A", vbInformation, "IMPORTANT:"
Mwarning = True
Else
aRec.Cells(c, 1).Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End If
Next c
If Mwarning = True Then MsgBox "No errors found!", vbInformation, "IMPORTANT:" ' if an error is set in column A, then do nothing, otherwise get the next message
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
EDIT :
Replace you msgbox in the loop by a log like this and add only one msgbox at the end of the sub :
Sub testMsg()
Dim aRec As Worksheet, bRec As Worksheet, wb As Workbook
Dim match
Dim c As Long
Set wb = Excel.ActiveWorkbook
Set aRec = wb.Worksheets(1)
Set bRec = wb.Worksheets(2)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim log As String
log = ""
For c = 2 To aRec.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
match = Application.match(aRec.Cells(c, 1).Value, bRec.Columns(2), 0)
If IsError(match) And Not IsEmpty(aRec.Cells(c, 1)) Then
aRec.Cells(c, 1).Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
log = "Mistakes are in column A"
Else
aRec.Cells(c, 1).Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End If
Next c
If log = "" Then
MsgBox "No errors found!", vbInformation, "IMPORTANT:" '
Else
MsgBox log, vbInformation, "IMPORTANT:"
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
You add a msgbox function in a loop MsgBox "Mistakes are in column A", vbInformation, "IMPORTANT:"
So I think that msgbox will be repeated every time if the IF condition is encountered.

Delete this.
EDIT: improved answer that leaves the cell coloring alone without adding another IF. Msg will only fire once, the Row locations will be reported in a single msgbox as the error string is built inside of your loop, be careful if there are many errors.
Dim aRec As Worksheet, bRec As Worksheet, wb As Workbook
Dim match
Dim Mwarning As Boolean
Dim c As Long
Dim rpt As String
Set wb = Excel.ActiveWorkbook
Set aRec = wb.Worksheets(1)
Set bRec = wb.Worksheets(2)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Mwarning = False 'Always, Always, Always set an intitial condition
rpt = "WARINING: Column A Errors are Found" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
For c = 2 To aRec.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
match = Application.match(aRec.Cells(c, 1).Value, bRec.Columns(2), 0)
'Added the piece that if there is an error, check if the box has already fired = true,
'if it has NOT fired, then fire it once and not again
If IsError(match) And Not IsEmpty(aRec.Cells(c, 1)) Then
aRec.Cells(c, 1).Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
Mwarning = True
rpt = rpt & "Error Found at Row: " & c & vbNewLine
Else
aRec.Cells(c, 1).Interior.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End If
Next c
'You only want this to pop if no errors are found in the FOR LOOP
If Mwarning = False Then
'if no error was found report this message
MsgBox "No errors found!", vbInformation, "IMPORTANT:"
Else 'error was found in column A so Mwarning is true
MsgBox rpt, vbInformation, "IMPORTANT:"
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
You have set Mwarning as Booleanand you set it to True when a mistake is found, but you do not check for its value in the loop. So, the if in the loop should also check for Mwarning value.

I use the standard finance cell formatting where inputs are blue, cells that reference anything offsheet are green, and everything else is black.
All well and good - I was capable of developing macros that basically do what the GoTo -> constants -> numbers and GoTo -> formulas and then looks within the formula text for a "!" symbol.
However is there a way to select and highlight (say, in purple) all cells that are used offsheet, regardless of whether they are input as constants or formulas or whatever on the original sheet?
ie: I'd like to be able to quickly find and identify any cells that are used offsheet via macro. I'm good at making macros in general, but just can't think up any functionality that would accomplish this. Can anyone give me a hint to get me started in the right direction?
EDIT: What I have so far:
Sub Offsheet_Dependents()
Dim xRg As Range
Dim xCell As Range
Dim xTxt As String
On Error Resume Next
xTxt = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Address
Set xRg = Application.InputBox("Please select the data range:", "EDI macro", xTxt, , , , , 8)
If xRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
' Need to modify the below for loop to only highlight cells where the reference is offsheet. Currently higlights entire range.
' also need to add a cell.cleararrows command somewhere and have it work
For Each cell In xRg
cell.ShowDependents
Worksheet.cell.NavigateArrow TowardPrecedent:=False, ArrowNumber:=1, LinkNumber:=1
If ActiveCell.Worksheet.Name <> Worksheet.cell.Worksheet.Name Then
cell.Interior.Color = RGB(204, 192, 218)
End If
xRg.Select.ActiveSheet.ClearArrows
Next
End Sub
Another possibility, but the second macro doesn't successfully apply the first one across the range :( :
Sub Color_Dependents()
Dim rLast As Range, iLinkNum As Integer, iArrowNum As Integer
Dim stMsg As String
Dim bNewArrow As Boolean
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveCell.ShowDependents
Set rLast = ActiveCell
iArrowNum = 1
iLinkNum = 1
bNewArrow = True
Do
Do
Application.Goto rLast
On Error Resume Next
ActiveCell.NavigateArrow Towardprecedent:=False, ArrowNumber:=iArrowNum, LinkNumber:=iLinkNum
If Err.Number > 0 Then Exit Do
On Error GoTo 0
If rLast.Address(External:=True) = ActiveCell.Address(External:=True) Then Exit Do
bNewArrow = False
If rLast.Worksheet.Parent.Name = ActiveCell.Worksheet.Parent.Name Then
If rLast.Worksheet.Name = ActiveCell.Parent.Name Then
' local
stMsg = stMsg & vbNewLine & Selection.Address
Else
stMsg = stMsg & vbNewLine & "'" & Selection.Parent.Name & "'!" & Selection.Address
End If
Else
' external
stMsg = stMsg & vbNewLine & Selection.Address(External:=True)
End If
iLinkNum = iLinkNum + 1 ' try another link
Loop
If bNewArrow Then Exit Do
iLinkNum = 1
bNewArrow = True
iArrowNum = iArrowNum + 1 'try another arrow
Loop
rLast.Parent.ClearArrows
Application.Goto rLast
If stMsg Like "*!*" Then
ActiveCell.Interior.Color = RGB(204, 192, 218)
End If
End Sub
Sub Purple_Range()
Dim xRg As Range
Dim xCell As Range
Dim xTxt As String
On Error Resume Next
xTxt = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Address
Set xRg = Application.InputBox("Please select the data range:", "EDI macro", xTxt, , , , , 8)
Set xRg = Application.Union(xRg, ActiveSheet.UsedRange)
If xRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
For Each cell In xRg
Call Color_Dependents
Next cell
End Sub
In Sub Purple_Range()
replace:
For Each cell In xRg
Cell.Select
Next cell
with:
For Each cell In xRg
Cell.Select
Call Color_Dependents
Next Cell
The reason why the second Macro was failing was because Color_Dependents() was updating the color of the current ActiveCell and Purple_Range() was cycling through the range with out updating the location of ActiveCell to make it current.
Otherwise the Macro was working fine.
I am running two VBA formulas.
The first hides all cells with empty information the first column.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim c As Range
On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each c In Range("A3:A49")
If c.Value = vbNullString Then
c.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next c
For Each c In Range("A3:A47")
If c.Value <> vbNullString Then
c.EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
Next c
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The second Formula strings data together and placeses this information in the next cell that is empty (aka the first hidden cell) when the button is clicked.
Option Explicit
Dim iwsh As Worksheet
Dim owsh As Worksheet
Dim output As String
Dim i As Integer
Sub Copy()
Set iwsh = Worksheets("Budget")
Set owsh = Worksheets("Release Burnup")
i = 3

i = i + 1

output = "R" & iwsh.Cells(13, 2).Value & "-S" & iwsh.Cells(14, 2).Value
owsh.Cells(i, 1) = output
ActiveSheet.EnableCalculation = False
ActiveSheet.EnableCalculation = True
End Sub
Previously, this has been causing no problem... Something has happened that is causing the workbook to crash anytime I try to delete information out of one of the cells with the new data.
PS: This is the list of my other formulas. maybe there is something in these that is interacting with the formentioned code?

Change the event driven Worksheet_SelectionChange to Worksheet_Change and isolate further by only processing when something changes in A3:A49.
Option Explicit

Caveat: A Worksheet_Change is not triggered on the change in a cell from the cell's formula. Only by typing, deleting or dragging a cell's contents. Adding or removing a formula will trigger it but not when a formula's result changes from another value somewhere in the workbook changing. This should not affect you as no formula can return vbNullString but it is worth mentioning for others.
This VBA script should take the value in the cell A37 and check if its in the C column of another worksheet. When the number is found the column to the left should be changed to 0. If it is already 0 then a message box will inform the user and if the number does not exist another message box will inform them of this.
This is the VBA I am using to accomplish this. However, every time I try to run it there is a "compile error: Next without For"
Update This issue now is that I need to activate the cell that the fcell is in before doing an Active.cell offset
Sub Cancelled()
Dim x As Long
Dim regRange As Range
Dim fcell As Range
x = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Welcome").Range("A37").Value
Set regRange = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Registration").Range("C:C")
For Each fcell In regRange.Cells
If fcell.Value = x Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select
If ActiveCell.Value = 1 Then
ActiveCell.Value = 0
MsgBox "Changed to zero"
Exit Sub
Else
MsgBox "That registration number is already cancelled"
Exit Sub
End If
End If
Next fcell
MsgBox "That number does not exist"
End Sub
Edit for new question: No need to use Select and ActiveCell
If fcell.Value = x Then
If fcell.Offset(0,-1).Value = 1 Then
fcell.Offset(0,-1).Value = 0
...
Edit 2: A further suggestion: You could also use the Range.Find method. This will throw an error if nothing is found so you have to catch that:
On Error Resume Next 'If an error occurs, continue with the next line
Set fcell = regRange.Find(x)
On Error GoTo 0 'disable the error handler
If fcell Is Nothing Then 'If Find failed
MsgBox "That number does not exist"
Else
'do your stuff with fcell here
End If
Hope this is not too late to answer your question:
Sub Cancelled()
Dim x As Long
Dim regRange As Range
Dim fcell As Range
x = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Welcome").Range("A7").Value
Set regRange = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Registration").Range("C:C")
For Each fcell In regRange.Cells
If fcell.Value = x Then
If fcell.Offset(0, -1).Value = 1 Then
fcell.Offset(0, -1).Value = 0
MsgBox "Changed to zero"
Else
MsgBox "That registration number is already cancelled"
End If
Exit Sub
End If
Next fcell
MsgBox "That number does not exist"
End Sub
Instead of
Set regRange = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Registration").Range("C:C")
its better to get the last row in Column C and then set your range as:
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Registration").Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
Set regRange = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Registration").Range("C1:C" & lastRow)
I want to write a macro that will pick a particular value (in my case, stored in cell A1) from a dropdown list (in my case, in cell D6).
Here's what I have so far:
sr_par2 = Array ("TEXT", 'TEXT2", "TEXT3")
sr = Range("A1").Value
(...)
Dim i As Integer
i = 0
Range("D6").Select
Do While (sr <> ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1)
Range("D6").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = sr_par2(i)
i = i + 1
Loop
Is this what you are trying? I have commented the code so that you will not have a problem understanding it. Still if you do then simply ask :)
Sub Sample()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rngIn As Range, rngOut As Range
Dim MyAr
Dim sFormula As String
Dim i As Long
'~~> Replace this with the relevant worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
With ws
'~~> Set your input and output range here
Set rngIn = .Range("A1")
Set rngOut = .Range("D6")
'~~> Get the validation list if there is one
On Error Resume Next
sFormula = rngOut.Validation.Formula1
On Error GoTo 0
If sFormula = "" Then
'~~> If no validation list then directly populate the value
rngOut.Value = rngIn.Value
Else
'validation list TEXT1,TEXT2,TEXT3
MyAr = Split(sFormula, ",")
'~~> Loop through the list and compare
For i = LBound(MyAr) To UBound(MyAr)
If UCase(Trim(rngIn.Value)) = UCase(Trim(MyAr(i))) Then
rngOut.Value = MyAr(i)
Exit For
End If
Next i
'~~> Check if the cell is still blank. If it is then it means that
'~~> Cell A1 has a value which is not part of the list
If Len(Trim(rngOut.Value)) = 0 Then
MsgBox "The value in " & rngOut.Address & _
" cannot be set as the value you are copying is not part of the list"
End If
End If
End With
End Sub
If I understood correctly, this should do what you want :
sr_par2 = Array("TEXT", "TEXT2", "TEXT3")
sr = Range("A1").Value
Dim i As Integer
i = 0
On Error GoTo Handler
Do While (sr <> sr_par2(i))
i = i + 1
Loop
Range("D6").FormulaR1C1 = sr_par2(i)
Exit Sub
Handler:
MsgBox "Value not in the list", vbCritical + vbOKOnly, "Value not found"
new to VBA here. I've been stuck on this problem for a while now:
Essentially, I need to create a macro that copies over specific data from one sheet to another, that is up to the user to specify. The catch is that while all the data is in one column (B), not all rows of the column have relevant entries; some are blank and some have other data that I don't want.
Only entries that begin with 4 numbers are wanted. I can't seem to get how the iterated copy-pasting works; what I've come up with is as follows:
'defining input
Dim dater As Date
dater = Range("B2")
If dater = False Then
MsgBox "Date not specified"
Exit Sub
End If
Dim sheetin As String
sheetin = Range("B5")
If sheetin = "" Then
MsgBox "Input Sheet not specified"
Exit Sub
End If
Dim wbin As String
wbin = Range("B4")
If wbin = "" Then
MsgBox "Input workbook not specified"
Exit Sub
End If
Dim sheetout As String
sheetout = Range("B9")
If sheetout = "" Then
MsgBox "Output Sheet not specified"
Exit Sub
End If
Dim wbout As String
wbout = Range("B8")
If wbout = "" Then
MsgBox "Output Workbook not specified"
Exit Sub
End If
Windows(wbout).Activate
Dim sh As Worksheet, existx As Boolean
For Each sh In Worksheets
If sh.Name Like sheetout Then existx = True: Exit For
Next
If existx = True Then
If Sheets(sheetout).Visible = False Then Sheets(sheetout).Visible = True
Else
Sheets.Add.Name = CStr(sheetout)
End If
'copy pasting values
Windows(wbin).Activate
Sheets(sheetin).Select
'specify maximum row
iMaxRow = 500
For iRow = 1 To iMaxRow
With Worksheets(sheetin).Cells(iRow, 2)
'Check that cell is not empty.
If .Value = "####*" Then
.Copy Destination:=Workbooks(wbout).Worksheets(sheetout).Range("A" & i)
'Else do nothing.
End If
End With
Next iRow
End Sub
Subsequently i'll have to match data to these entries that have been copied over but I figure once i get the hang of how to do iterated stuff it shouldn't be too much of a problem. But right now i'm really stuck... Please help!
It looks like it should work, except for that part :
With Worksheets(sheetin).Cells(iRow, 2)
If .Value = "####*" Then
.Copy Destination:=Workbooks(wbout).Worksheets(sheetout).Range("A" & i)
End If
End With
The third line contains an unknown variable : i.
You need to define it to contain the number of the line to which you're copying. For example, if you want to copy to the first available line, try this :
Set wsOut = Workbooks(wbout).Worksheets(sheetout)
With Worksheets(sheetin).Cells(iRow, 2)
If .Value = "####*" Then
i = wsOut.Cells(wsOut.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1
.Copy Destination:=wsOut.Range("A" & i)
End If
End With
