I'm having a small issue manipulating data.
I have a few check-boxes to select various items on the screen, which in turn inputs relevant data such as item name, price, etc. The issue is that these names have to go onto a invoice, and I cannot get the names to transfer onto the invoice nicely.
The invoice has to record the items, but it needs to check to see if a item has been already applied to the invoice and this is what I'm having problems with.
How can I get items to collectively display on a sheet without any additional interactions (I just click the relevant checkbox instead of manually typing it in), and display them nicely.
The items 'Underlay and Extended Warranty' need to be displayed one after another, and not 2-3 boxes away.
Example:
Underlay Extended Warranty
I don't want this:
Underlay
Extended Warranty
Is there a solution to this?
Update:
This happens if I do it the way I know:
I solved this by making a custom Excel VBA Macro that basically tells us the cell that is free which is closest to the top of the invoice:
Public Function GetApplicableCell() As String
Range("C20").Select
If (IsEmpty(Range("'Invoice Sheet'!C20").Value)) Then
GetApplicableCell = "C20"
End If
If (IsEmpty(Range("'Invoice Sheet'!C21").Value)) Then
GetApplicableCell = "C21"
End If
If (IsEmpty(Range("'Invoice Sheet'!C22").Value)) Then
GetApplicableCell = "C22"
End If
If (IsEmpty(Range("'Invoice Sheet'!C23").Value)) Then
GetApplicableCell = "C23"
End If
If (IsEmpty(Range("'Invoice Sheet'!C24").Value)) Then
GetApplicableCell = "C24"
End If
End Function
It can be called by a =GetApplicableCell() from within the worksheet, and we can work with this to produce a workable solution.

I created a userform data base where I can both add new data and search for current project details.
There are certain textboxes where I would like for the following:
When adding data, for amount to display as currency.
I already used the Afterupdate() event and it works well,
Private Sub txtPOAmount_Afterupdate()
txtPOAmount.Value = Format(txtPOAmount.Value, "$#,###.##")
End Sub
I would also like it to display currency when it pulls the data
I used the Change() event, which also does the job
Private Sub txtPOAmount_Change()
txtPOAmount.Value = Format(txtPOAmount.Value, "$#,##0.00")
End Sub
Current issues with using one or the other:
-When I use the Afterupdate() event if I were to pull data already in the data base it doesn't show the currency unless I update it.
-When I use the Change() event only, it displays the data as currency, but when I want to update the data only the fist number typed in works. (ex. Type 5337, it displays $5.00)
However, I would like for both of this options to work simultaneously. If I want to pull data then I would like the userform to display currency, and if I update it, I would like for it to enter the complete amount.
Try using TextBox1_Exit to update it instead of the Change() event, that means you get freedom to edit more than one character in the textbox string before the event gets fired and stops you having to use arrow keys to move left and right in your "currency" textbox:
Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
TextBox1.Value = Format(TextBox1.Value, "£#,##0.00")
End Sub
I developed a Form in Excel (2016) and I am trying (with VBA) to configure its behavior so that if the user selects a particular option button, two additional things happen:
A checkbox further down on the form is automatically checked.
A text box further down on the form automatically displays a set string of text.
More specifically, if the user selects OptionButtonABC, then ...
CheckBoxNone should become checked
TextBoxCompanyName (which does not display any text by default) should now display the string: 'ABC'.
I initially created a subroutine that just targeted condition 1, and everything worked fine. However, when I try to integrate the code required to handle condition 2, things start to unravel.
Below, you will see the code in its most current state. I have a Private Sub that initiates upon the Click event and then immediately defines a variable as a string. I then set up an if/then statement that specifies what should happen IF OptionButtonABC is true. Namely, CheckBoxNone should be selected (this works fine) AND TextBoxCompanyName should now display the string 'ABC'.
Private Sub OptionButtonABC_Click()
Dim Variable_ABC As String
Variable_ABC = ABC
If Me.OptionButtonABC.Value = True Then
Me.CheckBoxNone = True And Me.TextBoxCompanyName.Text = Variable_ABC
End If
End Sub
The desired behavior should (theoretically) be pretty easy to achieve, but my experience with VBA is still pretty limited, so I am reaching out to the community for a bit of advice. As I mentioned above, the code above works for the first condition. However, I am still unable to get the string of text ('ABC') to show up in the text box.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may offer.
Private Sub OptionButtonABC_Click()
Dim Variable_ABC As String
Variable_ABC = "ABC" 'String Values uses double quotes
If Me.OptionButtonABC.Value = True Then
Me.CheckBoxNone = True
Me.TextBoxCompanyName.Text = Variable_ABC
End If
End Sub
The operator AND must be used only in the IF statement comparison, not in what you want to do.
I have some code referencing Slicers:
For Each item In wb.SlicerCaches("Segment").SlicerItems
If item.Selected = True Then
If Len(sSegment) > 0 Then sSegment = sSegment & "|"
sSegment = sSegment & item.Caption
End If
Next item
but I get Invalid procedure call or argument. I've seen many examples referencing them by name, but can't get it to work. If I use (1), (3) etc and then add a slicer, it messes up the order, so the code is mucked up.
How can I reference them by name, my end goal is to iterate through selected items.
You may need to reference the slicercache by adding Slicer_ in front of it.
For example, I added an Authors slicer to a table containing information about books and I could reference it by using this code:
Debug.Print ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches("Slicer_Author").Slicers("Author").Caption
The reason I knew to add Slicer_ is because I right clicked the slicer and then selected Slicer Settings... and saw this:
And that seems to reference the slicer fine. It was really dumb luck that I happened to see that and thought to try it.
Try:
For Each item In wb.SlicerCaches.Item("Segment").SlicerItems
I just can't figure out how to get VBA to start a bulleted list in Word.
I've got some code that types out stuff into word, I can get font and paragraph formatting, no problem, but now I want to create a bulleted list. I've found the following code,
ListFormat.ApplyListTemplate ListTemplate:=ListGalleries(wdBulletGallery).ListTemplates(2)
which should create a bulleted list of the second standard type, but all I can determine is to use it with a 'Range' command which causes the entire document to have the list applied to it. What I'd like to do is have it applied just to the new line that I'm having the code type, and then, at some point, be able to turn the list off, to be able to continue without the list being applied.
Thanks!
This link should help you with your query:
VBA - Bullet Points
Basically this code applies it to a selection:
Selection.Range.ListFormat.ApplyBulletDefault
And this code adds it to the selected paragraph number (in this case paragraph 2):
Documents("MyDoc.doc").Paragraphs(2).Range.ListFormat _
.ApplyBulletDefault
This code applies the Bullet points to a range of paragraphs:
Set myDoc = ActiveDocument
Set myRange = myDoc.Range( _
Start:= myDoc.Paragraphs(3).Range.Start, _
End:=myDoc.Paragraphs(6).Range.End)
If myRange.ListFormat.ListType = wdListNoNumbering Then
myRange.ListFormat.ApplyBulletDefault
End If
Assuming you know the text that is being added, you can use the second example. If you don't know how many paragraphs are being added, then each time you create a new one, increment an integer by 1 and use that integer in the third example.
For Example:
Start:= myDoc.Paragraphs(2).Range.Start, _
End:=myDoc.Paragraphs(i).Range.End)
Let me set up the environment.
This is VBA code running in Excel.
I have a userform that contains a msflexgrid. This flexgrid shows a list of customers and the customer', salesperson, csr, mfg rep, and territories, assignments. When you click in a column, let's say under the Territory column, another userform opens to show a list of Territories. You then click on the territory of your choice, the userform disappears and the new territory takes the place of the old territory.
This all works great until you click on the territory of your choice the 'Territory' userform does not disappear (it flickers) and the new territory does not transfer the underlying userform.
I should mention that when I'm stepping through the code it works great.
I'm assuming it has something do to with the flexgrid as all the other userform (that don't have flexgrids) that open userform work just fine.
Following is the some code sample:
** Click event from flexgrid that shows Territory userform and assignment of new territory when territory userform is closed.
Private Sub FlexGrid_Customers_Click()
With FlexGrid_Customers
Select Case .Col
Case 0
Case 2
Case 4
Case 6
UserForm_Territories.Show
Case Else
End Select
If Len(Trim(Misc1)) > 0 Then
.TextMatrix(.Row, .Col) = Trim(Misc1)
.TextMatrix(.Row, .Col + 1) = Trim(Misc2)
End If
End With
End Sub
** The following Subs are used in the Territory userform
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
Misc1 = ""
Misc2 = ""
ListBox_Territory.Clear
Module_Get.Territories
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Terminate()
Set UserForm_Territories = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub ListBox_Territory_Click()
With ListBox_Territory
Misc1 = Trim(.List(.ListIndex, 0))
Misc2 = Trim(.List(.ListIndex, 1))
End With
Hide
UserForm_Terminate
End Sub
I know this a long winded explanation but I'm a fairly decent VBA programmer and this has me stumped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not going to say what you're doing is wrong (in that it won't ever work), but it scares the heck out of me. This is not the way I'd deal with forms.
Firstly, you're using UserForm_Territories (the class/form name) to refer to an implicitly-created instance of the form. This is something I've always avoided doing. I would always create an instance of a form explicitly, so instead of:
UserForm_Territories.Show
I would do:
Dim oTerritoriesForm As UserForm_Territories
Set oTerritoriesForm = New UserForm_Territories
oTerritoriesForm.Show vbModal
' get the values from the form here
Unload oTerritoriesForm
Next, and much more worryingly, you're subverting the UserForm_Terminate behaviour by calling it explicitly. Why you're doing this I can't imagine, unless you thought that it would work around your stated problem. My advice: don't do that.
Worse, you're attempting to assign to the implicitly-created instance of the form within that Terminate method. You shouldn't be doing that, either. I'm surprised that even compiles.
It seems like you're trying to force the implicitly-created instance of the form to mimic an explicitly-created one. In which case, create it explicitly, as shown above.
