How to compare textbox values excel vba

Hi Ickuan Free text which has to be identical without copy and paste, that is asking a lot of your users. Here is an idea, have the second text box linked to the first as the user types into the first text box that text appears in the second text box. That way the text is always identical and you will never have a problem of text not matching. Put two active X Control text boxes into a workbook originally titled textbox1 and textbox2 (I thought that up myself). Now in design mode double click on the first text box. Put the following code into the worksheet object. 'Private Sub TextBox1_Change() TextBox2.Text = TextBox1.Text End Sub' when you get out of design mode you will notice that as you type in textbox1, textbox2 updates with the same and identical information. Problem goes away. Take care

Hi, Ickuan! First of all welcome to Chandoo's website Excel forums. Thank you for your joining us and glad to have you here. As a starting point I'd recommend you to read the green sticky topics at this forums main page. There you'll find general guidelines about how this site and community operates (introducing yourself, posting files, netiquette rules, and so on). Among them you're prompted to perform searches within this site before posting, because maybe your question had been answered yet. Feel free to play with different keywords so as to be led thru a wide variety of articles and posts, and if you don't find anything that solves your problem or guides you towards a solution, you'll always be welcome back here. Tell us what you've done, consider uploading a sample file as recommended, and somebody surely will read your post and help you. And about questions in general... If you haven't performed yet the search herein, try going to the topmost right zone of this page (Custom Search), type the keywords used in Tags field when creating the topic or other proper words and press Search button.

If not please advise so as people who read it could get back to you as soon as possible. And about this question in particular... You might use too the clause: Option Compare {Binary | Text | Database} as first line (in fact before any procedure) of a module. If you omit it Binary is assumed and this order is used for character comparison: A < B < E < Z < a < b < e < z < À < Ê < Ø < à < ê < ø If you specify Text it uses this order: (A=a) < ( À=à) < (B=b) < (E=e) < (Ê=ê) < (Z=z) < (Ø=ø) Database parameter is only allowed in MS Access and uses the order specified by the DB local identifier.

How would I match a textbox value to any value in a range. When a user enters in a value in Textbox1 the VBA compares it to a list of numbers to see if it matches. If it does then the sub continues, if not the sub ends. I am able to match it to one cell but not able to get it to work in a a range. Thanks, Guy

Hey I have three columns containing last name values from 3 different sources that I've brought into one sheet. I am trying to find a way to compare all three values to establish if they are the same. Of the three values there is no master, Each value may be different. So essentially it would be like doing =IF(a1=a2=a3,"match", "nomatch") But of course this isn't possible. I don't care about obtaining detail about which value matches which. I just need true or false response as to whether all three values are the same or not. Thanks for any help anyone can provide. Aaz

Hi Guys, Could you be so kind as to provide some code that will enable me to display a text box on a userform rounded up to 1 decimal place. Where am I going wrong.... it calculates the number entered in textbox1 and divides it by a value that changes in cell O26 but the answer is in about 8 or more decimel places. Only need like 65.3 as an answer not 65.277756942 This is the code ive used. Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() TextBox2.Value = Val(TextBox1.Value) / Range("O26").Value End Sub

I have a userform containing a multicolumn listbox (ListBox1) and textbox (txtSelectedJobNumber). When a user clicks on a line in the listbox I want to automatically copy the text in the 3rd column of the selected line to the textbox. If anyone could provide code which would allow me to do this I would be grateful Thanks Colin

This is probably an easy question for most of you, but it's killing me. I tried searching before I posted this, but the suggestions given didn't seem to work for me. I need to look up data from a cell on one Excel sheet, compare it to a list on a 2nd sheet and when they equal, take a value from a different column on the 2nd sheet and drop it back on the 1st sheet. Since that's a horrible explanation, let me try explaining it this way: Sheet 1 Column A has a long list of code type 1s Column E has a long list of code type 2s Sheet 2 Cell C2 has code 1 Cell E2 needs code 2 I know it should take an index/match function, but nothing I try is working. What I'm trying is the following formula in Cell E2 of sheet 2: =INDEX('Sheet 1'!A:A,MATCH(C2,'Sheet 1"!E:E,0),5) But all I get is no result. What's driving me bonkers is that if I copy everything over to a single sheet, that formula works fine.

Thought I'd start this topic since there seem to be a number of topics where the answer seems to be to use one of the above rather than other. Thought I'd kick off with my 2 cents' worth. I have a userform with frames containing textboxes. The user enters a currency value and once they leave the control, then a protected textbox next to it shows the corresponding value in SEK. I started off using the exit event but ran into 2 problems. If you tabbed out of the last textbox in the frame, the exit event never kicked in (this is documented in other topics but took some time to find). This resulted in me using the exit event for all except the last textbox in the frame that used afterupdate instead I then discovered that the exit events didn't kick in if, instead of tabbing out of the field, I deliberately placed focus in a control elsewhere on the form. Changing the event from exit to afterupdate corrected this. My question then is ... could you guys document in this topic when you would/must use the exit rather than the afterupdate event (or vice-versa). Thanks

I have a textbox in my userform where anything typed in the box is entered into cell A2 in my worksheet. However, multiple lines of text are not properly displayed in my worksheet. I have enabled MultiLine and EnterKeyBehaviour in the properties window of the textbox so I can type multiple lines in my textbox. The problem is that when I press the button to enter the text from my txtbox to cell A2, the cell doesn't actually display the text in separate lines. It just places a square symbol in the place that enter should have been pressed and the text should have been split into separate lines. How can I get the separate lines of text in my textbox to be properly displayed in a cell? Thanks for your help in advance..

hi, I would like a formula that would list all the items in row B that match the criteria in row A. the first cell with formula would list the first item, the second cell with the formula would list the next item, and so forth. Also, column B might have a duplicates that should be listed. Is this possible? I cannot manipulate the order of the original items (ie, filters) because this data is being used to derive other formulas.

I'm comparing 12 cells on different sheets (in the same workbook) and need to determine if they are all an exact match to one another. Basically, I want something like exact(), but I need to compare more than two strings. Any ideas? Thanks!

Corporate edict. I have a worksheet that is locked and protected now, except for cells in a certain collumn. I have named the cells in that column "MS96A". If a user enters a date in a cell or range of cells anywhere in the column, the changed cells also need to be locked and protected (Once they enter a date, it is not allowed EVER to be changed again. Corporate requirement! *Shrug*). What I am looking for is this. If the user selects that cell again, they will get the usual pop-up message, "The cell or chart that you are trying to change is protected..." I think I am close, but I am getting an "End If without block If" error on the If Clause. Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) Dim MRange As Range Set MRange = Range("MS96A") ' If Not Intersect(Target, MRange) Is Nothing Then For Each cell In MRange Sheets("Sheet1").Unprotect Password:="temp" cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 cell.Font.Color = vbBlack Selection.Locked = True Selection.FormulaHidden = False Next cell ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="temp", _ DrawingObjects:=False, _ Contents:=True, _ Scenarios:=False ActiveSheet.EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells End Sub

Hi all, I'm looking for help in building a formula which will sort numbers into different "buckets". My spreadsheet has a range of values in column B. These values can range anywhere from -100,000,000 to +10,000,000. I'd like to be able to sort them into the following buckets:-

I have set a VLOOKUP formula to match account numbers. How ever I have to click double click on the cell before the formula recognises the account number. I have to do this for each cell. I have tried different formats. It is not saving me that much time.

Regarding Charts in Excel: Is there a way to have the Min and Max values adjusted dynamically for the Scale of the values being displayed ?? I know that I can use named ranges to display various sections of data -- month by month, or quarter by quarter, for example. But when the value of these ranges vary greatly from section to section I end of having to manually go and adjust the Min and Max values of the chart scale. For example, if I was looking at a graph of the S&P 500's prices last November, a Min and Max range of 750 to 1200 would be fine. But if I had a dynamic range established and scrolled over to view the S&P 500's prices for this past February, I would need a Min and Max range of around 650 to 850. Is there a way to have these Min & Max values adjust automatically depending on the values being displayed ?? Thanks StanSz

Hello, I am pretty new to excel programming/messing around so I'll refer to those who are much wiser than I am. I am trying to set up a form for work, in this form I want to have a page with a bunch of cells pre-sized. What I want to do is when I insert a picture from a job site, that when this picture gets inserted, it will automatically resize to fit within the cell. I don't have time to manually resize dozens of pictures and if I could get this to work it would be awesome! I tried to search for an answer using the search function, but I kept getting a fatal error about allowable memory? Thanks in advance for you help!

Hi All, I am trying to make excel automatically add a leading zero to values which are 5 digits long; i.e. number input is 15185, then excel automatically changes it to 015185. If I put a Customer Number Format of 0##### it works, however, a user could put any length of number into these cells, and if the number is less than 5 digits I don't want a leading zero. Is there any way of writing a small macro to sort this out. The numbers would be input into range B16:223. Many thanks, Andy

Hi, This is a very basic question, but i have been struggling for hours, so I must ask. I I trying to simply fill a combobox on a userform from a named range on a sheet, I want to populate the combobox as soon as the userform starts. (I launch the userform from a button on the sheet) Where must I place the code? and will this code work? Code:Sub Button1_Click() Set UserForm1.combobox1.List = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("MyRange") UserForm1.Show End Sub I am very new to vba, so please excuse my ignorance, any help would be greatly appreciated regards jim

I am trying to sum all numbers <0 using the SUMIF formula in Excel 2003. FORMULA: =sumif(range,criteria,sum_range) I got it to work, but I have cell ranges to total that are not next to each other (such as A5:A15 and C5:C15). When selecting the ranges for the formula, Excel writes them A5:A15,C5:C15 because of the comma (,) between the cell ranges Excel is reading the A5:A15 as the range and C5:C15 as the critera. How can I get this formula to allow me to select multiple cell ranges? All help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I want to protect a cell that I have a drop down list in, but I still want the drop down list to work. When I try to protect it, the user is not able to use the drop down list to select other items. I didn't see an option on the protect sheet area. Thanks for any help. Nick

Hello, I am new to using Excel and I am not very computer literate. I am looking for some help with a spreadsheet I am making. Here is the problem: I have a column of 14 numbers in cells A1 to A14. If all of these values are less than 2%, I would like a "Pass" to display in cell B1. If any of these values are greater than 2% I would like a "Fail" to display in cell B1. I have got a formula that works for a single cell but I can't figure out how to get it to apply to more than one cell. For example, I have entered =IF(A1<2,"Pass","Fail") in cell B1. Now if the value I enter in A1 is less than 2, it shows a "Pass", and if the value in A1 is greater than 2 it shows a "Fail" in cell B1. How can I get this to apply to all of the cells from A1 to A14? If somebody could help me out that would be great. Thanks, Randy

Good day... I need an IF Function that will allow me to action a time in a time range: ... If the time 04:16 falls in the time range 04:00 - 04:29, than put a one (1) in the filed x... ... If the time 04:16 doesn't fall in the time range 04:00 - 04:29, than leave the x fiel empty Any help is appreciated.

I have a workbook that has recently changed on me and is causing a lot of grief. I have a lot of named ranges that the scope of the named range has changed to a new sheet. This is creating a lot of problems! Is there any way to manually change the scope of a named range? without deleting the nmaed range and recreating it?
