Hi,

i have a textbox in a userform that is linked tot cell A1 of the spreadsheet.
Cell A1 is defined as %.
When the user starts the userform the textbox will show 0,04 corresponding to
4% in cell A1.
However, if the userform is empty and the user types in 4 in the textbox,
cell A1 will show 400%.

how can i make sure that the input in a textbox will be seen as a percentage
so that if the input is 4, cell A1 will show 4% ?

thanks,
Jean-Pierre

You could try something like

If Range("a1") 1 Then Range("a1") = Range("a1") / 100

in the UserForm Terminate event, or some other suitable event.

Hi richard,

code:

Private Sub OnlyNumbers(ctl As Object)
With ctl
If Not IsNumeric(.Value) And .Value < vbNullString Then
MsgBox "Sorry, alleen getallen toegestaan"
.Value = vbNullString
.SetFocus
End If

Maybe I'm missing something, but a percentage is just another number.
Your original question was primarily about the format or appearance of
that number.

Did you try my suggested code in the UserForm_terminate() event ?

i.e.

Private Sub UserForm_Terminate()
If Range("a1") 1 Then Range("a1") = Range("a1") / 100
End Sub


It's not immediately apparent why, if the other code that you mention
below works, why it doesn't also work for a percentage number.

Do you mean that although A1 is updated (via the textbox entry), other
cells which are dependent on A1 don't calculate?

If so, first obvious question is, is Tools Options Calulation set to
Automatic? If not check the 'Automatic' option.

Alternatively if you need the worksheet to be set to manual
calculation, and only want it updated when an entry is made via the
text box, include the line

ActiveSheet.Calculate
or
Application.Calculate

in your code.
