VALIDATION IN EXCEL VBA

How do you create cell validation in VBA. My basic spreadsheet has validation rules in the sheet. However, on creating a new spreadsheet, the delete data routines clear the validations. Threrefore, I need to create validation rules against a list either on a sheet that is not changed or in the code

RE: VALIDATION IN EXCEL VBA

Hi Tony

Thanks for your question

It is possible to create validation rules in VBA. Simply create a procedure that checks the value of various cells and warns if they don't meet certain criteria, and then set it to run on the worksheet's change event.
Alternatively, in the example you have provided, why not create your workbook with all the validation rules in place and then save it as a template? Then every time you create a new instance of the template all the rules will be in place

Regards

Stephen

Excel tip:

Make a quick copy of a worksheet

Hold down the Ctrl key, then click and drag on a sheet tab to make a copy of that sheet. Though this process usefully copies the formats of the original sheet, note that any Range Names you have on the original sheet will be duplicated too.

To make a copy of a worksheet's contents and formats without duplicating range names: (1) Ensure that you have a blank worksheet to paste to. (2) On the sheet to copy, click on the sheet selection square to the left of Column A's heading to select the whole sheet. (2) Copy the whole sheet. (3) Paste to the blank worksheet.
