Pop-Up Message Box When a Cell Reaches a Certain Value or Contains Certain Text
This macro will display a message box in excel when a cell reaches a certain value or contains certain text. This means that when cell A1 contains the value "hi" a message box will pop-up telling the user that cell A1 now contains the word "hi".
This macro can be changed to display a message box whenever a cell meets whatever criteria you want. You can change the criteria to display a message whenever certain text is entered into a cell by changing ,in this line of code, If rng = "hi" Then the "hi" to whatever you want. You can also change the display message to whatever you would like by changing the text inbetween the quotation marks in this code MsgBox "Cell " & _
rng.Address & " = hi". Also, if you want to change the cell to which the value must be entered for a message box to appear, change the A1 in this line of code to whatever you would like Set rng = Range("A1").
This macro is particularly useful in forms in excel. This way you can solicit input from a user and when he/she enters something, you can have a message box appear to remind them of something or to warn the user etc. This is pretty versatile code and is easily modified to check for many different types of values or characters and to then display the pop-up message box in excel.

Hello all,
Is there a way to setup Excel to automatically generate an e-mail message to at least one e-mail address, if a certain cell value has reached a given value ?
For instance, a message to be sent to e-mail address "name@e-mail.com", if cell B10, part of worksheet "Worksheet_1" has reached value 10.99.
Any idea would be more than welcome. Thank you.

Hi,
How would I go about finding the specific text "ACharge" in column A, and when it finds the text, insert rows until the text reaches row 20? The text always varies on a large number of spreadsheets and is always within the first 18 cells.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Guys,
I'm preparing an excel document for my manager, and I have all the fields set out etc. My question is, would it be possible to make it so that when, whatever he is entering reaches the END of the row, it automatically carries over into the row below it? I don't want him to have to worry about resizing the rows to make the text fit in, so would like to make it so that when he reaches the end of the cell the text carries over into the row below it.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
Hello all, I have a test form which I've attached. What I'm trying to accomplish is open a hyperlink window when hitting a submit button and insert the hyperlink into the same field as something else just at the bottom of it.
So what you should do is when you click on the "Add Notes" button a userform will popup. When you check the box for add picture link and hit the submit button I'd like it to popup a hyperlink at the bottom of the text in cell. Attached is a picture of what it should look like.
Only thing I was able to figure out so far was:
VB:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogInsertHyperlink).Show
If you like these VB formatting tags please consider sponsoring me in support of injured Royal Marines
If anyone has suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
