Create a warning message
Cell validation only works when data is entered directly in a cell. I want to recreate this effect so that Excel displays a pop up message when the calculated value of a cell falls below £100. The cell in question is calculating the sum of three other cells on the worksheet and is formatted as currency. Cheers :) |

Hi, Because it is a calculated value you can use the worksheet calculate event Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate() If Range("A1").Value < 100 Then MsgBox "Cell value " & Range("A1").Value End If End Sub Mike "Stuart M" wrote: Cell validation only works when data is entered directly in a cell.

Somthing like the below. Right click sheet tabView Code and paste the below code..A1:C1 is the range you enter the values...and D1 is the cell with formula. Adjust to suit.. Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Application.EnableEvents = False If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("A1:C1")) Is Nothing Then If Range("D1") < 100 Then MsgBox "Total of A1:C1 should be more than 100" Target.Value = 0: Target.Activate End If End If Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub -- If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Stuart M" wrote: Cell validation only works when data is entered directly in a cell.

you might also consider using Conditional Formatting - ie let the cell turn red or something to make it really visible "Stuart M" <Stuart wrote in message ...

Hi Mike thanks for the answer. Its the value returned in the Sum cell that must be used for validation - i.e. if it shows <£100 then show the warning message. The users input data somewhere else which is summed in a different cell so I want the summed cell to display a warning if it is less than a given amount. Any ideas?

Hi Jacob thanks for the answer. I couldn't get it to work at all. I just want a warning displayed if the value is below a certain monetary figure. The simple formula in that cell is =SUM(I46:J48) so if that result is 100 show the warning message Any ideas? "Jacob Skaria" wrote: Somthing like the below.
