Hello:

I have the vba code below but I need some changes. I want to make that when
I enter in a cell 5a it should automatically format it to 5:00 AM and when I
enter 7p it should format it to 7:00 PM and so on. However I also need that
when I enter 5:05a it should format to 5:05 AM. Is there a way to do this?

Please let me know.

The code I have is as follows:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 1 Then 'column A
If Right(Target, 1) = "a" Or Right(Target, 1) = "p" Then
hournum = Val(Left(Target, Len(Target) - 1))
If Right(Target, 1) = "p" Then hournum = hournum + 12
Target.Value = TimeSerial(hournum, 0, 0)
Target.NumberFormat = "[$-409]h:mm AM/PM;@"
Else
Target.Value = ""
Target.Select
MsgBox "Enter a or p!"
End If
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Try this

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 1 Then 'column A
If Right(Target, 1) = "a" Or Right(Target, 1) = "p" Then
hournum = Val(Left(Target, Len(Target) - 1))
minnum = Val(Mid(Target, 3, Len(Target) - 1))
If Right(Target, 1) = "p" Then hournum = hournum + 12
Target.Value = TimeSerial(hournum, minnum, 0)
Target.NumberFormat = "[$-409]h:mm AM/PM;@"
Else
Target.Value = ""
Target.Select
MsgBox "Enter a or p!"
End If
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Thanks, but I need two more things.

First when I enter 12a it turns to 12:00 PM and 12p turns to 12:00AM.

Also, can I do this vba for columns D thru G?

Please let me know.

Hi again,

IMHO I'd enter times correctly but perhaps that's just me!! This seems to do
what you want


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 4 And Target.Column <= 7 Then
If Right(Target, 1) = "a" Or Right(Target, 1) = "p" Then
hournum = Val(Left(Target, Len(Target) - 1))
minnum = Val(Mid(Target, 3, Len(Target) - 1))
If Right(Target, 1) = "p" And hournum < 12 Then hournum = hournum +
12
If Right(Target, 1) = "a" And hournum = 12 Then hournum = hournum - 12
Target.Value = TimeSerial(hournum, minnum, 0)
'Target.NumberFormat = "[$-409]h:mm AM/PM;@"

Is it possible to make this vba just for certain cells, like from D8 thrug14??

Please let me know.

Here is code that is different from Mike's approach (it allows you to enter
times in the format you asked about or in real Excel times (your choice) and
it works in the columns you asked about...

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D:G")) Is Nothing Then
If InStr(.Value, ":") = 0 Then
.Value = Replace(.Value, "a", ":00 AM", , , vbTextCompare)
.Value = Replace(.Value, "p", ":00 AM", , , vbTextCompare)
End If
End If
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Yes that's possible

Use as a first line to prevent errors for multiple selections/blanks
If Target.Cells.Count 1 Or IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub

Works on a single cell
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
'do things
End if

Works on a range
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A10")) Is Nothing Then
'do things
End if

Discontiguous range
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1,B1,C1")) Is Nothing Then
'do things
End if

Here is the code I posted elsewhere in this thread modified to handle the
range you asked about...

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D8:G14")) Is Nothing Then
If InStr(.Value, ":") = 0 Then
.Value = Replace(.Value, "a", ":00 AM", , , vbTextCompare)
.Value = Replace(.Value, "p", ":00 AM", , , vbTextCompare)
End If
End If
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Remember, this code allows you to enter your time either in the format you
originally asked about or in real Excel time format.

Rick,

It's not my approach :) .Note my comment:-
IMHO I'd enter times correctly but perhaps that's just me!!

I think the multiple types of input the OP propsed dictate the approach.
Did you test yours for 12p or 10:08p?

Mine fell over for the latter until I ammended this line
minnum = Val(Mid(Target, InStr(1, Target, ":") + 1, Len(Target) - 1))

I go back to my original proposition, enter times correctly.

Thank you all. I had to combine in order to achieve what I wanted.

I used the following:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D8:G14")) Is Nothing Then
If Right(Target, 1) = "a" Or Right(Target, 1) = "p" Then
hournum = Val(Left(Target, Len(Target) - 1))
minnum = Val(Mid(Target, 3, Len(Target) - 1))
If Right(Target, 1) = "p" And hournum < 12 Then hournum = hournum +
12
If Right(Target, 1) = "a" And hournum = 12 Then hournum = hournum - 12
Target.Value = TimeSerial(hournum, minnum, 0)
'Target.NumberFormat = "[$-409]h:mm AM/PM;@"
Target.NumberFormat = "h:mm AM/PM"
Else
Target.Value = ""
Target.Select
MsgBox "Enter a or p!"
End If
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

However, when I delete anything, the pop up window comes up to enter a "a"
or a "p". Is it possible to make that it shouldn't popup when you delete?

First when I enter 12a it turns to 12:00 PM and 12p turns to 12:00AM.

Also, can I do this vba for columns D thru G?

Please let me know.

Hello:

I have the vba code below but I need some changes. I want to make that
when
I enter in a cell 5a it should automatically format it to 5:00 AM and
when I
enter 7p it should format it to 7:00 PM and so on. However I also need
that
when I enter 5:05a it should format to 5:05 AM. Is there a way to do
this?

Please let me know.

The code I have is as follows:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 1 Then 'column A
If Right(Target, 1) = "a" Or Right(Target, 1) = "p" Then
hournum = Val(Left(Target, Len(Target) - 1))
If Right(Target, 1) = "p" Then hournum = hournum + 12
Target.Value = TimeSerial(hournum, 0, 0)
Target.NumberFormat = "[$-409]h:mm AM/PM;@"
Else
Target.Value = ""
Target.Select
MsgBox "Enter a or p!"
End If
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Whoops! Typo alert. The code should be this...

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim T As String
If Target.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D:G")) Is Nothing Then
If InStr(.Value, ":") = 0 Then
T = Replace(.Value, " ", "")
.Value = Replace(T, "a", ":00 AM", , , vbTextCompare)
.Value = Replace(T, "p", ":00 PM", , , vbTextCompare)
End If
End If
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I accidentally replaced "p" with ":00 AM" instead of ":00 PM". I also took
the opportunity to add an extra measure of protection for the user entering
too many spaces (not completely sure it is required, but adding the extra
code insures it doesn't matter). The code should now function correctly with
12p or 10:08p.

Rick,

It's not my approach :) .Note my comment:-
IMHO I'd enter times correctly but perhaps that's just me!!

I think the multiple types of input the OP propsed dictate the approach.
Did you test yours for 12p or 10:08p?

Mine fell over for the latter until I ammended this line
minnum = Val(Mid(Target, InStr(1, Target, ":") + 1, Len(Target) - 1))

I go back to my original proposition, enter times correctly.

Here is the code I posted elsewhere in this thread modified to handle the
range you asked about...

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D8:G14")) Is Nothing Then
If InStr(.Value, ":") = 0 Then
.Value = Replace(.Value, "a", ":00 AM", , , vbTextCompare)
.Value = Replace(.Value, "p", ":00 AM", , , vbTextCompare)
End If
End If
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Remember, this code allows you to enter your time either in the format you
originally asked about or in real Excel time format.

thrug14??

Please let me know.

However, when I delete anything, the pop up window comes up to enter a "a"

Well, it had been tested at one point in my developing the code... and
whenever it was that I had tested it, it did work back then... but obviously
I changed something since that test and it no longer works. Okay then, how
about this code instead (it seems to work correctly)?

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim T As String
If Target.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
With Target
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D:G")) Is Nothing Then
On Error GoTo Whoops
Application.EnableEvents = False
T = Replace(.Value, "a", " AM", , , vbTextCompare)
T = Replace(T, "p", " PM", , , vbTextCompare)
.Value = WorksheetFunction.Trim(T)
End If
End With
Whoops:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Note that I also straightened out a problem with when the EnableEvents
statement got executed. Also, I had forgotten to include the On Error Goto
test (you should also consider incorporating this into your code too).
Thanks for looking at the code I posted and for keeping me honest.

Thanks, but I need two more things.

First when I enter 12a it turns to 12:00 PM and 12p turns to
12:00AM.

Also, can I do this vba for columns D thru G?

Please let me know.

Hello:

I have the vba code below but I need some changes. I want to make

enter 7p it should format it to 7:00 PM and so on. However I also
need
that
when I enter 5:05a it should format to 5:05 AM. Is there a way to
do
this?

Please let me know.

The code I have is as follows:

Rick,

It's not my approach :) .Note my comment:-
IMHO I'd enter times correctly but perhaps that's just me!!

I think the multiple types of input the OP propsed dictate the
approach.
Did you test yours for 12p or 10:08p?

Mine fell over for the latter until I ammended this line
minnum = Val(Mid(Target, InStr(1, Target, ":") + 1, Len(Target) - 1))

I go back to my original proposition, enter times correctly.

Here is a revision that allows more entries to be parsed correctly for being
a time value. For example, you can enter 3p, 3:00, and so on as before;
however, you can also enter things like 934, 1723, 1234p, etc.; that is, if
it is missing the colon, the colon will be inserted and then, if the entry
can be made into a date at all, it will be, otherwise an error message will
be issued. Try it out on varying "time" values to see what I mean.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim T As String
If Target.Count 1 Then Exit Sub

If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D:G")) Is Nothing Then

Application.EnableEvents = False

Rick,

It's not my approach :) .Note my comment:-
IMHO I'd enter times correctly but perhaps that's just me!!

I think the multiple types of input the OP propsed dictate the
approach.
Did you test yours for 12p or 10:08p?

Mine fell over for the latter until I ammended this line
minnum = Val(Mid(Target, InStr(1, Target, ":") + 1, Len(Target) -
1))

I go back to my original proposition, enter times correctly.

Thanks, but I need two more things.

First when I enter 12a it turns to 12:00 PM and 12p turns to
12:00AM.

Also, can I do this vba for columns D thru G?

Please let me know.

Hello:

I have the vba code below but I need some changes. I want to
make
that
when
I enter in a cell 5a it should automatically format it to 5:00
AM
and
when I
enter 7p it should format it to 7:00 PM and so on. However I
also
need
that
when I enter 5:05a it should format to 5:05 AM. Is there a way
to
do
this?

Please let me know.

The code I have is as follows:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 1 Then 'column A
If Right(Target, 1) = "a" Or Right(Target, 1) = "p"
Then
hournum = Val(Left(Target, Len(Target) - 1))
If Right(Target, 1) = "p" Then hournum = hournum +
12
Target.Value = TimeSerial(hournum, 0, 0)
Target.NumberFormat = "[$-409]h:mm AM/PM;@"
Else
Target.Value = ""
Target.Select
MsgBox "Enter a or p!"
End If
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Here is a modification of the code I posted earlier which I believe does
what you are asking for. If the entry you make can at all be converted to a
time value, it will be. Give it a try and let me know if this does what you
want.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim T As String
If Target.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
With Target
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D:G")) Is Nothing Then
On Error GoTo CleanUp
Application.EnableEvents = False
T = .Value
If T Like "*[aApP]" Then
T = Replace(T, "a", " AM", , , vbTextCompare)
T = Replace(T, "p", " PM", , , vbTextCompare)
ElseIf T Like "*[AaPp][mM]" Then
T = Left(T, Len(T) - 2) & " " & Right(T, 2)
End If
If Not IsDate(T) And InStr(T, ":") = 0 And Len(T) 1 Then
T = Left(T, InStr(T & " ", " ") - 3) & ":" & _
Mid(T, InStr(T & " ", " ") - 2)
End If
T = WorksheetFunction.Trim(T)
If IsDate(T) Then
.Value = CDate(T)
Else
MsgBox "That is not a real date!"
End If
End If
End With
CleanUp:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Thanks for responding, but I decided that the best way is to enter the
time
without the : symbol. Like 944a. Can you make the code for that please? I
found a page that lets me do that but it goes until 24 hours and does not
let
me enter p or a. Please help.

I showed you how to do that in my previous post. make this the first line

If Target.Cells.Count 1 Or IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub

Thank you all. I had to combine in order to achieve what I wanted.

I used the following:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D8:G14")) Is Nothing Then
If Right(Target, 1) = "a" Or Right(Target, 1) = "p" Then
hournum = Val(Left(Target, Len(Target) - 1))
minnum = Val(Mid(Target, 3, Len(Target) - 1))
If Right(Target, 1) = "p" And hournum < 12 Then hournum =
hournum +
12
If Right(Target, 1) = "a" And hournum = 12 Then hournum =
hournum - 12
Target.Value = TimeSerial(hournum, minnum, 0)
'Target.NumberFormat = "[$-409]h:mm AM/PM;@"
Target.NumberFormat = "h:mm AM/PM"
Else
Target.Value = ""
Target.Select
MsgBox "Enter a or p!"
End If
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

However, when I delete anything, the pop up window comes up to enter a
"a"
or a "p". Is it possible to make that it shouldn't popup when you
delete?
