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:

Screen Splitters in Excel

Screen splitter icons can be set from the ribbon bar, or dragged from the scroll bars. The icon just above the up arrow on the right scroll bar controls the horizontal splitter; the icon to the right of the right arrow on the bottom scroll bar controls the vertical splitter.

These icons can be double-clicked to split the screen at the top left of the cell currently in use.
