Date question
My macro is embedded in an Excel workbook. On 'Sheet1' there are 2 input
fields, (1) the 'Start' date, and (2) the 'End' date (for a 1 week period). Users will enter both dates. There are several restrictions: (1) the 'Start' date must be a Sunday, (2) the 'End' date must be a Saturday. and (3) these dates can only be for a 1 week period (7 days). There are edits already in place to identify issues for these 3 items. It will also be okay for users to enter a week in the future. However, they cannot enter last week's dates. For example, as of today, (5/2/10 and 5/8/10), (5/9/10 and 5/15), and (5/16/10 and 5/22/10) are all acceptable ranges. However, (4/25/10 and 5/1/10) is not an acceptable range because it starts in a prior week. Any Sunday 'Start' date prior to 5/2/10 is not allowed and I need an edit to trap this error. The user can run the macro any day in the current week for the current week and any week in the future. They just cannot run it for prior weeks. I think I'm looking for code that will tell me what the date is for the current week's Sunday and then I can compare that to the 'Start' date to see if is prior to the date for the current week's Sunday (unless I'm making this too difficult and there is an easier way to do this.) Thanks for the help. -- JT |

Date question
hi
see if you can use this....... MsgBox Date - Weekday(Date, 2) MsgBox WeekdayName(Weekday(Date, 1) - Weekday(Date, 2)) If [A1].Value < Date - Weekday(Date, 2) Then MsgBox "In the past!!! Abort! Abort!" End If also read up on the weekday function in vb help. regards FSt1 "JT" wrote: My macro is embedded in an Excel workbook.

Thanks for the help. Why must the user enter BOTH dates? If I needed to restrict the entry dates, without knowing what else you are doing, I would use Data Validation for the Start date, and I would compute the End Date. For Data Validation, I would use, assuming your Start Date is in A2: Data/Data Validation Settings: Custom Formula: =AND(WEEKDAY(A2)=1,A2(TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY()))) You can then put appropriate messages and prompts in the other tabs. Then for the end date, it would be simply: =if(a2="","",a2+6) --ron |
