BOLD a Part of the Cell Value

Q:  D1=(A1&B1)...I want the result of B1 Bold when result show i.e. Biplab (A1) & Rs.12/-(B2). In Cell No. C1 there is formula =(A1&" "B1)...Now Result I want "Biplab Rs.12/-"..... Only Rs.12/- is BOLD. (Note: Length of B1 is not fixed)

Let's create a function called Bold which will make any character under the function to bold. and you can use it directly in the sheet using formula feature. 

here is the two thing.

Put the Following function in the Module

Function BOLD(ByRef Text As String) As String

Text = "!" & Text

BOLD = Text

End Function

Now Goto the Sheet and choose we will work on Worksheet_Change Event 

here is the Code. 

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim I As Variant

I = Target.Value

Dim A As String

Dim B As String

Dim ALEN As Integer

Dim BLEN As Integer

Dim TargetColumnNo As Integer

TargetColumnNo = 3

If Target.Column = TargetColumnNo Then

If VBA.InStr(1, I, "!") > 0 Then

A = VBA.Left(I, Application.WorksheetFunction.Find("!", I, 1) - 1)

B = VBA.Mid(I, VBA.InStr(1, I, "!") + 1, VBA.Len(I) - VBA.InStr(1, I, "!"))

ALEN = VBA.Len(A)

BLEN = VBA.Len(B)

Target.Value = A & " " & B

Target.Characters(ALEN + 2, BLEN).Font.FontStyle = "Bold"

Else

Exit Sub

End If

End If

End Sub

Now Suppose in the Sheet1 and Column 3 would be your target column then 

write the following formula and you will get the required result. 

=A1&BOLD(B1)

Thank you. 

Replace Excel's Data Validation Drop-down with Smart Userfrom Based Mini Tool

Creating Dropdown from the Validation part of the excel is very easy and very fundamental thing we should know as an Excel Enthusiastic.

When our project required the same list of things to be chosen from the single cell usually make things done with creating the drop-down list from the Data Validation Tool which is inbuilt in Excel.

Now, Sometimes you might have faced or not, but each cell of the column requires the same list of things for selection. I was usually ending up by drag down the dropdown list to the nth row which could be messy sometimes. and it even no looks cool. and you even can't put things apart from the list.

What I have done here is, You don't require a dropdown list at all. Just see the video and you will get what I have done.

The advantage of this tool is you don't need to create hundreds of dropdown in the same column when everything is available to you in just a double-click.

To compile this tool I have required following two scopes.

1. Worksheet Code
2. Userform Design and Codes

You can design the userform and it looks easy not a big deal.

Now let's move towards coding of Worksheet
======
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
   
    If Target.Column = 2 Then
        LISTBOX.Show
    End If
    
End Sub
======
I have used BeforeDoubleClick Event to initiate the things.

Now, as we double click on the cell on column two, the Sheet Code will sense it and trigger the event and will force userform to appear.

More to the Second part of the coding

=====
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    Dim DB As Worksheet
    Set DB = Sheets("DATABASE")
        
    Dim I As Long
    I = 1
    
    LISTBOX.ListBox1.Clear
    
    Do Until DB.Cells(I, 2).Value = Empty
        LISTBOX.ListBox1.AddItem DB.Cells(I, 2).Value
    I = I + 1
    Loop

    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
=====

(Above code will take each item of the list from the Place called Database Sheet where you have listed all the details over there with Heading.)

Now DOuble Click even to input userform data into the sheet which the same part of userform coding

======
Private Sub ListBox1_DblClick(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
    
    With LISTBOX.ListBox1
        If .ListIndex = -1 Then Exit Sub
        ActiveCell.Value = .List(.ListIndex)
        Cells(ActiveCell.Row, ActiveCell.Column + 1).Activate
        Unload LISTBOX
    End With
    
End Sub
======

Now Coding for the Add New Button. this coding will add Item to the list.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    
    Dim I As Variant
    Dim J As Variant
    
    If ActiveCell.Column = 2 Then
        I = VBA.InputBox("Please Enter New Tail No.:", "Add New Tail No. in The Database")
        If I = vbNullString Then
            Exit Sub
        Else
            J = NewRow("DATABASE", 2)
            Sheets("DATABASE").Cells(J, 2).Value = I
            Dim DB As Worksheet
    Set DB = Sheets("DATABASE")
     
    I = 1
    
    LISTBOX.ListBox1.Clear
    
    Do Until DB.Cells(I, 2).Value = Empty
        LISTBOX.ListBox1.AddItem DB.Cells(I, 2).Value
    I = I + 1
    Loop
        End If
  end if 

end sub
======

So This is it. Please Try. and create more ways to use it in a more effective way.

Thank you

What is the formula for calculating the inclusive tax amount from a given amount?

Let's answer it with mathematical approach. You might required to use it in the formula or in VBA. This simplification will help you for sure.

Assume few variables

X = Product's Original Amount without Tax

Y = Inclusive Tax Amount (i.e. you're looking)

Z = Product's Amount with Tax or MRP or Included tax amount.

Q = Tax %

-

So basic foundation of product's final amount after tax including is like,

X + Y = Z

Now, Y = ( Q * X ) / 100

So the equation become,

X + ( Q * X ) / 100 = Z

Now solve the above equation to find the value of X

X = ( Z * 100 ) / ( Q + 100 )

And to get the value you required put this value of X back to the initial equation

X + Y = Z

{( Z * 100 ) / ( Q + 100 )} + Y = Z

Now solve for Y,

Y = ( Z * Q ) / ( Q + 100 )

So put known values of Z & Q in the above equation and you will get the required value.

Good day.

4 digit PIN Style Login System

Hello Beautiful People,

Here I'm giving away the most unique way to login in excel based applications as 4 digit PIN style.

It's Fast and secured. And even with this post, you will receive the VBA Code to change the PIN No. by the authorized user.

So, What happened yesterday, my traditional login system, which has a username and password, as usual, has become more boring. I have just completed a development of an application for billing purpose and I was testing it and I felt, I should have something more fast and furious and secured way of login system. I was thinking of for the idea and suddenly my mom came to my room and asked me for my VISA debit card and she also asked me the PIN no. of the same card. But that leaves the fantastic idea on me.

I have quickly developed something very simple and sober which works exactly like what I have assumed. The user just needs to type 4 digit pin and without any control and by using of Textbox Change Event Mechanism, I get the best result out it. and it worked like a HERO!.

Now, I'm giving away the VBA code for the Userform and Module for Changing PIN No. on any time by the Authorized User.

Here are the things you need to prepare before placing of VBA Codes.

1. User form with only One TextBox and Designed it just like what you can see in the middle of the screenshot attached to this Post.

2. Place a Command Button anywhere you want and caption it as "Change PIN No."

3. Now Open the Userform and Double Click on the Textbox and put this code in it.

Private Sub TextBox1_Change()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Dim RealPass As Long

RealPass = THENEWGST.Sheets("REGISTRY").Range("Z1").Value

With LOGIN

If VBA.Len(.TextBox1.Value) = 4 Then

If VBA.Val(.TextBox1.Text) = VBA.Val(RealPass) Then

'Call here the next Procedure you want to execute after entering of successful PIN No. 

Else

MsgBox "Wrong PIN" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Call us at 919328093207 for Any Query", vbExclamation, "Zyest Solutions"

.TextBox1.Value = vbNullString

End If

End If

End With

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

4. Then Goto the button where you captioned it as "Change PIN No." and Put the following VBA Code in the Sub.

Private Sub PIN_CHANGING_PROCESS()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

On Error Resume Next

Dim I As Variant

Dim J As Variant

Dim K As Variant

Dim L As Variant

L = THENEWGST.Sheets("REGISTRY").Range("Z1").Value

I = VBA.InputBox("Please Enter Your Current PIN", "PIN Changing Process")

If VBA.Val(I) = VBA.Val(L) Then

'/-------

J = VBA.InputBox("Please Enter Your NEW PIN", "PIN Changing Process")

If VBA.IsNumeric(J) = False Then

MsgBox "Only Numeric Inputs Are Allowed", vbExclamation, "Validation by Zyest Solutions"

Exit Sub

End If

If VBA.Len(J) <> 4 Then

MsgBox "Only Four [4] Digits are allowed as PIN", vbCritical, "Validation By Zyest Solutions"

Exit Sub

End If

'/-------

K = VBA.InputBox("Please Enter Your NEW PIN Again", "PIN Changing Process")

If VBA.IsNumeric(K) = False Then

MsgBox "Only Numeric Inputs Are Allowed", vbExclamation, "Validation by Zyest Solutions"

Exit Sub

End If

If VBA.Len(K) <> 4 Then

MsgBox "Only Four [4] Digits are allowed as PIN", vbCritical, "Validation By Zyest Solutions"

Exit Sub

End If

'/-------

If VBA.Val(J) = VBA.Val(K) Then

THENEWGST.Sheets("REGISTRY").Range("Z1").Value = VBA.Val(J)

MsgBox "Great! Your PIN No. is Changed!" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Your New PIN No. is : " & J, vbOKOnly, "Zyest Solutions"

Else

MsgBox "PIN No. Doesn't matched, Please do it again", vbCritical, "Validation By Zyest"

End If

'/-------

Else

MsgBox "Wrong PIN No. Please Enter Correct PIN No.", vbExclamation, "Validation By Zyest Solutions"

End If

Exitit:

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Note: "THENEWGST" is my workbook name. So you can replace it with ThisWorkBook

So You can modify this code according to your requirements.

Enjoy it and try it. and leave your comments here. thanks.

Sheets Navigator Tool in Excel VBA

You all have that one workbook or spreadsheet, which have definitely more than 50 sheets. Which is very boring to scroll sometimes when you want to work with any random sheets more often.

There are many ways we can perform navigation through sheets. We can create the shapes to navigate there but hardly, we can only do that for a few sheets. Not for every sheet. So, here I'm coming with a permanent and handsome solution.

My Sheet Navigator

How it looks?

How it Works?

it's just initiated with pressing "Ctrl+k"

(I have selected "k" as a shortcut key.)

Select the Sheet you want to navigate to, and double-click it. Navigator takes you to that sheet and userform will be closed automatically.

Isn't easy?

Let's develop this Awesome Tool. 

Step 1: Goto the Developer Tab and click on the Record Macro. You will be asked to name the new macro which you gonna record. Now, don't require to name this macro but if you want then do it. Now, most important is that to assign a macro with the Shortcut key. As I have said, in my case I have chosen the letter "k" and you choose what you want. but remember, if you choose the active shortcut key, after this process, that earlier action will be overlapped by the current macro activities

So save the macro and goto the Developer Tab again and Stop the Recording. Now in VB Editor, you will see this module. 

Step 2: Design the Userform. 

You just need one list box! Insert the Userform and pick the list box from the toolbox and set it just like what you can see in the image. 

Step 3: Coding! 

This tool is running totally on two Events. 

1. UserForm_Initialize event 

2. Listbox ListBox_DblClick Event

Here is the Code for UserForm_Initialize event 

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    

    Dim idp As Variant

    idp = ThisWorkBook.Name

    

    Dim Machine As Workbook

    Set Machine = Excel.Workbooks(idp)

    

    Dim sh As Worksheet

    

    For Each AllSH In Machine.Sheets

        Userfrom1.ListBox1.AddItem (sh.Name)

    Next

    

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Here is the Code for Listbox ListBox_DblClick Event 

Private Sub ListBox1_DblClick(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    

    Dim idp As Variant

    idp = THEIDP.Name

    

    Dim Machine As Workbook

    Set Machine = Excel.Workbooks(idp)

    

    With UserForm1.ListBox1

        Machine.Worksheets(.List(.ListIndex)).Activate

    End With

    

    Unload UserForm1

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

There you go...save it and run it! EasyPeasy!!!!

Thank for trying this.

Userforms, TexBoxes & Condition Matching in Excel VBA

Suppose,

TextBox1.Value = 10
and
TextBox2.Value = 10

also, if you pass this following coding it gives the wrong result.

If TextBox1.value = TextBox2.value then 
    MsgBox "Yes They are Equal"
Else
    MsgBox "No, They are not Equal"
End if

You will defiantly get the second message and that is, "No, They are not Equal!"

So why does it happens? In Excel VBA, when you are dealing with Userforms, sometimes work demands an use of conditional matching criteria. Just like, IF the value of textbox1 is equal to textbox2 then do something. just like that.

So, Textboxes have always stored values entered in it as String Format. yes even if it's number or not. So, when do we matching the two textboxes based on numbers then we will surely not get the correct result.

So there are two ways to get rid of this.

1. Use Val function
2. Store the Value of TextBoxes into the Worksheet Range.

1. Use of Val Function

If Val(TextBox1.value) = Val(TextBox2.Value) then 
    MsgBox "Yes They are Equal"
Else
    MsgBox "No, They are not Equal"
End if

This time you will receive the First Message.

2. Let's look at this.

'Store the Value of Textboxes into the cell. 
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = TextBox1.value
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2").Value = TextBox2.value

If Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2").Value then 
    MsgBox "Yes They are Equal"
Else
    MsgBox "No, They are not Equal"
End if

The result will be the same, the first one. It's because of Excel automatically recognize the DataType of the Data entered in the cell. So It will become more accurate and also solves your purpose.

These are the small things. many are knowing and many don't. Who doesn't it's for them. 

Thank you!

Making VBA Development Version Independent Part 1

Making VBA Development Version Independent, will require focussed research and I think it's still "long" to go... ( Here "long" is not data type :P ) 

I tried my best to hell throughout VBA versioning issues but sometimes VBA itself has limitations which keep us behind the facility of distributing the spreadsheets. 

We need to solve every issue on a particular basis. 

So Let's try that first particular. :D

>> Finding the Last Empty Row of Worksheet Data <<

This is most common task amongst every VBA Tasks. There are multiple ways to get the last empty row but the easiest way is following mentioned. (I use it every time!)

'/-------------------

'Finding Last Empty Row of Sheet1

Sub Test()

    Dim LROW as Long 

    With Thisworkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")

    LROW = .cells(.Rows.count, 1).End(XlUp).Row + 1

    End With 

    Msgbox LROW

End Sub

'/-------------------

Above subprocedure will throw Last Empty Row Number through Message Box. 

Have you noticed, I have used a variable to store the procedure reflection. And that where the whole procedure goes wrong to become a version independent. 

Let me explain, 

I have assigned that LROW variable with datatype LONG. Which is itself has different values when you have MS OFFICE of 32bit or 64bit. Ans technically in both systems has a different method to assign long datatype. How? (Research It!)

So, to solve at least this issue I want to change the datatype of a variable from LONG to Integer! Yes, Integer datatype has same values across every version and its exact value is between -32,768 to 32,767 and we know, every worksheet after MS OFFICE 2007 will have more than 10 lacs of rows. which will not hold the row number data and will throw an error at the same time on execution like Type Mismatch Error no. 13

So, if you guys are sure about that, your database will not exceed the 32000 lines then I have perfect version independent code for you. :) apply it. 

'/-------------------

'Finding Last Empty Row of Sheet1

Sub TestVersionIndependent1()

Dim LROW as Integer

    With Thisworkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")

        LROW = .cells(32000, 1).End(XlUp).Row + 1

    End With 

Msgbox LROW

End Sub

'/-------------------

Above code will work for sure. Enjoy...!!

I will keep post more n more on this subject.
