AskWoody LoungerHi verad
Do you mean a continuous range as in Shift+Click or discontinuous with control +click?If a continuous selection then what about something like this as something different.
You pas in the starting cell, columnOffset and rows required.
If it looks likely then some tidying up is required.Code:Sub main() defineSelection "A7", 5, 100 End Sub Sub defineSelection(rStart, colOffset, rowCount) Range(rStart).Select Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.Offset(0, colOffset)).Select Range(Selection, Selection.Offset(rowCount, 0)).Select End Sub
Cheers

AskWoody LoungerHi Danci007
What happens if you put the bookmark name in place of A1 in the conditional portion?
Something like
{IF BkmkName= ” ” “Until resignation” {A1} }
or
{IF BkmkName= ” ” “Until resignation” {BkmkName} }Cheers

AskWoody LoungerOctober 12, 2015 at 8:09 pm in reply to: Can you have a field become required based on a previous field selection? #1532003Geoff, your attachment is based on the assumption the OP has a userform. However, the OP says in post #1 that he is using formfields, which are entirely different.
Hi Paul
Oops, a critical misread of the original post.
I will delete the post.

AskWoody LoungerHi
Excel 2010
You would look for the contextual tab Named “Options” under the “PivotTable Tools” .
On there you will find a button named “Change Data Source”.Geof

The attached word document has an example form that demonstrates activating a text box control based on the contents of a combobox.This is not a complete solution, merely a demonstration. You would need error checking and validation. For example check for valid dates
You might find a need to capture other events than those I show here.
I hope it helps.Geof

You will have more joy customising the ribbon.
I believe that MS deliberately limited the QAT to the limits you have highlighted.

AskWoody LoungerDoes the Options dialog resemble excel 2010
In Options>>Advanced>>General we can specify a path to open all files at Startup.

I was surprised to read that some thought it was associated with layout and pagebreak views. I don’t recall that but I cant refute it either.
As far as I can remember extend mode was there forever.
Off topic …
Something similar in Word with F8 key. Multiple successive presses select current word, sentence, paragraph and document.
F9 to toggle extend mode off.You need to modify the status bar to view the mode.

The code below will only operate on the two sheets, m1 and m2 shown in the screenshot.
Each of the sheets m1 and m2 are activated in turn and the value 100 is inserted into “A30”
42213-FarrukhCode:Sub master() test ("m1") test ("m2") End Sub Sub test(sheetName As String) Sheets(sheetName).Activate Range("a30").Value = 100 End Sub

It sounds to me as if you have (inadvertently) activated “Extend Mode” in excel.
This is done by pressing “F8”. Having done so the selection is extended to the next cell you click on.
Look that the status bar at bottom left of screen.You turn off “extend Mode” by either
-
[*]pressing F8 again or
[*]pressing F9F8, right arrow, right arrow will select the current cell and the next two to right.
F8 is an alternate manner to using shift and arrows or Shift + Click to extend the selection.
We used to teach these keyboard alternatives because this gave more control when selecting cells close to screen boundaries.Hope it helps

Do you need activesheet.UsedRange ..If so then you might have to activate the sheet first
Code:Application.ScreenUpdating = False Sheets(sheetName).activate LastRow = activesheet.Usedrange .Rows.Count
