VBA doing a Vlookup and then a vbyesno box - vba

I have written a VBA that does a Vlookup. It is looking up claim numbers and each caim has a hyperlink in column 3 of the range that leads to the details of the claim, pics etc. The Vlookup returns the relevant hyperlink in column 3 fine, but then I want a vbyesno box to give the user the option to be directed to the hyperlink returned by the Vlookup and view the claim details.
I have managed to get it working OK to direct people to a web address (I have used google in my VBA as as example) Is it possible to change my VBA slightly so instead of google it will change the hyperlink depending on the result of the vlookup.
This is the VBA i have written
Sub check()
On Error GoTo MyerrorHandler:
Dim claim_number As String
Dim here As String
claim_number = InputBox("please enter claim number")
If Len(claim_number) > 0 Then
Set myRange = Range("claims")
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
here = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(claim_number, myRange, 3, False)
intMessage = MsgBox("The claim has been partly investigated by Ali. Would"
"you like to view the details of the claim.", _
vbYesNo, "Great news Lee")
If intMessage = vbYes Then
objShell.Run ("www.google.com")
Else
Wscript.Quit
End If
Else
MsgBox "You didn't enter a claim number"
End If
Exit Sub
MyerrorHandler:
If Err.Number = 1004 Then
MsgBox "Claim has not been invsetigated"
End If
End Sub

Thanks for the help guys. I've managed to resolve the issue.
I just used ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink (here)
as shown below
Sub check()
On Error GoTo MyerrorHandler
Dim claim_number As String
Dim here As String
claim_number = InputBox("Please enter the claim number")
If Len(claim_number) > 0 Then
Set myrange = Range("claims")
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
here = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(claim_number, myrange, 3,
False)
intMessage = MsgBox("This claim has been investigated by Ali. Would you
like to view the details?", _
vbYesNo, "GREAT NEWS LEE")
If intMessage = vbYes Then
ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink (here)
Else
Wscript.Quit
End If
Else
MsgBox "You didn't enter a claim number"
End If
Exit Sub
MyerrorHandler:
If Err.Number = 1004 Then
MsgBox "This claim has not been investigated"
End If
End Sub

I want if the inputbox insert nothing then press enter, the inputbox will be shown again to restrick someone insert something into the inputbox and can not insert any words into the inputbox, if insert any words, also the inputbox will be shown again return to empty.
Does anyone can tell me how to solve this problem?
Thank you so much.

How to vlookup another excel sheet in VBA

Sub lookuphcpcs()
On Error GoTo errorbox:
Dim hcpcs_code As Long
Dim desc As Variant
hcpcs_code = ActiveCell.Value
If Len(hcpcs_code) > 0 Then
desc = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(Active_cell, 'C:\Users\Username\Desktop\[Fruit Code.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$2:$B$7, 2, False)
MsgBox "Description for HCPCS Code " & hcpcs_code & " is """ & desc & """"
Else
MsgBox "You did not enter any input!"
End If
Exit Sub
errorbox:
If Err.Number = 1004 Then
MsgBox "No Description found under HCPCS list!"
End If
End Sub
I am not able to put table array value under Vlookup in VBA to point to another excel sheet.
How do I do that?
First, when working with Vlookup you need to handle errors, such as when Vlookup was unable to find a match, you can use If Not IsError(Application.VLookup(.... to achieve this.
Second, in your case you don't need to use On Error GoTo errorbox:, just use the Vlookup error handling I wrote in the first point.
Third, you can use If Trim(ActiveCell.Value2) <> "" Then to verify there is a valid text or number inside ActiveCell rather than empty spaces.
Fourth, you should avoid using ActiveCell, and use fully qualified object instead.
Last, you want to make sure "Fruit Code.xlsx" workbook is open before using the Vlookup, as suggested by #Tim Williams in the comments above.
Modified Code
Option Explicit
Sub lookuphcpcs()
Dim desc As Variant
Dim SourceWb As Workbook
' error trapping in case Fruit Code workbook is closed
On Error Resume Next
Set SourceWb = Workbooks("Fruit Code.xlsx")
On Error GoTo 0
If SourceWb Is Nothing Then
Set SourceWb = Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\Username\Desktop\Fruit Code.xlsx") ' open workbook if it's closed
End If
If Trim(ActiveCell.Value2) <> "" Then ' make sure cell has a string other than space
If Not IsError(Application.VLookup(ActiveCell.Value2, SourceWb.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:B7"), 2, 0)) Then
desc = Application.VLookup(ActiveCell.Value2, SourceWb.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:B7"), 2, 0)
MsgBox "Description for HCPCS Code " & ActiveCell.Value2 & " is """ & desc & """"
Else
MsgBox "No Description found under HCPCS list!"
Exit Sub
End If
Else
MsgBox "You did not enter any input!"
End If

Range & If Statement using multiple sheets

I have several Sheets involved but I'll have Sheet 2 Active. When I'm on "Sheet 2" I need to know when cell ("C14") becomes active with an IF statement I'm guessing. Once it becomes active, I then need to know if the string in cell ("B2") on Sheet 1 = "Fighter" then I want to insert "some wording regarding the fighter here" in cell ("C14") on Sheet 2. IF it's not "Fighter"then is it "Mage"? If so then insert "some wording regarding the mage here".
This is short hand for example.
if cell C14 on Sheet 2 is active then
check cell B2 on Sheet1. If the text = "Fighter"? Then
insert "You are brave and use a sword" into cell C14 Sheet2
if it's not equal to Fighter then is it = "Mage"? Then
insert "You cast spells" in cell C14 sheet2
etc..
I need to know how to code this in VBA. I've spent hours searching and trying various code but can't seem to get it right. Thanks ahead of time for your help.
Try something like this:
'The way you check which cell is active is by using an
'Event like this one. This goes into the Sheet2 code module
'which you can get to by right clicking on the sheet's tab and
'selecting View Code.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rng_Source As Excel.Range
Dim rng_Target As Excel.Range
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
'Setting the cells that you're interested in as
'ranges will help minimise typo errors.
Set rng_Target = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Range("C14")
Set rng_Source = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B2")
'Target is a range that specifies the new
'selection. Check its address against rng_Target
'which we defined above.
If Target.Address <> rng_Target.Address Then
Exit Sub
End If
'If you don't want case sensitivity, convert to upper case.
If UCase(rng_Source.Value) = "FIGHTER" Then
rng_Target.Value = "some wording regarding the fighter here"
ElseIf UCase(rng_Source.Value) = "MAGE" Then
rng_Target.Value = "You cast spells"
'You get the idea.
End If
ExitPoint:
On Error Resume Next
'Clean up
Set rng_Source = Nothing
Set rng_Target = Nothing
On Error GoTo 0
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & vbCrLf _
& Err.Description
Resume ExitPoint
End Sub
I do agree with the comments that you should always post the code that you've already tried (which you subsequently did), but this is a relatively trivial one and this just clears it out of the way and may be of use to somebody else as well in the future.
Try this ;)
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo errH
Dim rng1 As Range
Set rng1 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range("B2")
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("C14")) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
If rng1.Value2 = "Mage" Then
Target.Value = "OMG This is MAGE!!! Run run run away!!!"
ElseIf rng1.Value2 = "Fighter" Then
Target.Value = "Fighter? :/ Was hoping for something better"
MsgBox "Fighter? :/ Was hoping for something better"
rng1.Value2 = "Mage"
Target.Value = "Mage. Now This is better ;)"
Else
Target.Value = "No, we haven't discussed it."
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
Exit Sub
errH:
MsgBox ("Error number: " & Err.Number & "Description: " & Err.Description)
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Add a new sheet using Input Box, check existing sheet names and invalid sheet names

Im new to VBA but i need to do something with it. I want to make input box that add a new sheet with specific name. somehow i can make it after some searching over the forum. here are the steps that i want to do, but i cant make it completely done.
make input box that ask a name of new sheet (it's done).
when the name of sheet is already available then a msg box appear
that it can't make a new sheet but when the opposite happen then a
new sheet is made (it's done too).
the last is i want to make when the input box is blank a new msg box
appear and ask to enter different name (this i can't do).
Here's the code im using so far
Public Sub CariSheet()
Dim SheetName As String
Dim shExists As Boolean
Do
SheetName = InputBox("Write the name of sheet", "Add Sheet")
If NamaSheet <> "" Then
shExists = SheetExists(SheetName)
If Not shExists Then
Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = SheetName
MsgBox "The sheet " & (SheetName) & " is successfuly made", , "Result"
Else
MsgBox "The name is already exist, please enter a new name", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Name"
End If
End If
Loop Until Not shExists Or SheetName = ""
End Sub
Private Function SheetExists(ByVal SheetName As String, _
Optional ByVal wb As Workbook)
If wb Is Nothing Then Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
On Error Resume Next
SheetExists = Not wb.Worksheets(SheetName) Is Nothing
End Function
any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance for your attention. ah and sorry for my bad english.
Check if this code helps you:
Just added Else part for you Main If condition where you check If Sheetname is not blank.
Also, You can also uncomment my line Exit Sub if you want to exit subroutine in case of blank input box.
Public Sub CariSheet()
Dim SheetName As String
Dim shExists As Boolean
Do
SheetName = InputBox("Write the name of sheet", "Add Sheet")
If SheetName <> "" Then
shExists = SheetExists(SheetName)
If Not shExists Then
Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = SheetName
MsgBox "The sheet " & (SheetName) & " is successfuly made", , "Result"
Else
MsgBox "The name is already exist, please enter a new name", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Name"
End If
Else
MsgBox "Please enter a sheet name.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Warning"
'Exit Sub
End If
Loop Until Not shExists Or SheetName = ""
End Sub
This code caters for errors for either:
the sheet name already existing
the sheet name being invalid (empty (ie ""), too long or invalid characters)
Code updates so sheet name is validated for length, and then by a Regexp for Valid characters for Excel sheet names before the sheet is created
If either 1 or 2 is true the user is re-prompted (with an additional try again message)
Public Sub CariSheet()
Dim SheetName As String
Dim bFinished As Boolean
Dim strMsg As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
Do While Not bFinished
SheetName = InputBox("Pls enter the name of the sheet", strMsg, "Add Sheet")
On Error Resume Next
Set ws = Sheets(SheetName)
On Error GoTo 0
If ws Is Nothing Then
Select Case Len(SheetName)
Case 0
strMsg = "Sheet name is blank"
Case Is > 31
strMsg = "Sheet name exceeds 31 characters"
Case Else
If ValidSheetName(SheetName) Then
Set ws = Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count))
ws.Name = SheetName
Else
strMsg = "Sheet name has invalid characters"
End If
End Select
Else
strMsg = "Sheet exists"
Set ws = Nothing
End If
Loop
End Sub
test for valid sheet name
Function ValidSheetName(strIn As String) As Boolean
Dim objRegex As Object
Set objRegex = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
objRegex.Pattern = "[\<\>\*\\\/\?|]"
ValidSheetName = Not objRegex.test(strIn)
End Function

Multi Macro Communication

I am currently attempting to self-teach myself the great world of macro coding in VBA but have come across a stumbling block when trying to process 3 macros that I would ideally like to process as 1 but the code seems to be far too complicated for me at this stage.
What I need is to convert data from US date format mm/dd/yyyy into UK date format dd.mm.yyyy and changing the / to . at the same time ideally overwriting the original data.
This is currently what I have in separate Modules:
Sub FixFormat()
'display a message with an option if US date formats are
'included in the data
MsgBox "US Date Formats Included", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Addresses"
If Response = Yes Then MsgBox "Delimit Process Needed", vbOKOnly, "Addresses"
If Response = No Then MsgBox "End", vbOKOnly
End
End Sub
and
Sub FixDates()
Dim cell As Range
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For Each cell In Range("A1:A" & lastRow)
If InStr(cell.Value, ".") <> 0 Then
cell.Value = RegexReplace(cell.Value, _
"(\d{2})\.(\d{2})\.(\d{4})", "$3.$2.$1")
End If
If InStr(cell.Value, "/") <> 0 Then
cell.Value = RegexReplace(cell.Value, _
"(\d{2})/(\d{2})/(\d{4})", "$3.$1.$2")
End If
cell.NumberFormat = "yyyy-mm-d;#"
Next
End Sub
Function RegexReplace(ByVal text As String, _
ByVal replace_what As String, _
ByVal replace_with As String) As String
Dim RE As Object
Set RE = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
RE.Pattern = replace_what
RE.Global = True
RegexReplace = RE.Replace(text, replace_with)
End Function
Is there any way to do this without having to run 2 separate macros?
Yes, you can Call the subroutine you want to run as a result of the message box.
Sub FixFormat()
'display a message with an option if US date formats are
'included in the data
If MsgBox("US Date Formats Included", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Addresses") = 6 Then
MsgBox "Delimit Process Needed", vbOKOnly, "Addresses"
Call FixDates
Else
MsgBox "End", vbOKOnly
End If
End Sub
