default name and value in input cell
 

Can someone help me decipher the code I need to use below? I don't
understand how to customize it. I am a finance manager and do not have
any coding experience. My spreadsheet basically looks like this:

Jan Feb Mar
New members <enter <enter <enter

I want the user to input a value where it says <enter (which I want
defaulted to = 0). If the user subsequently deletes a number, I want
the cell to default back to "<enter" with a "0" value. Please help.
Thanks.


**************************
I'm creating an excel template that I need users to populate. I want
to mark the required input cells as "<enter"; which should equate to
zero.

If users subsequently delete their number, I want the field to default
back to "<enter".


What's the simplest way to do this?


Mike

Put <enter in those cells to begin, and then add

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "G1,H5,K6,L10" '<=== change to suit


On Error GoTo ws_exit
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, rang(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value = "" Then
Target.Value = "<enter"
End If
End If


ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub


This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Just replace:

Target.Value = "<enter"

with

Target.Value = 0

Just correct the following line in the code by adding an e..........
From:
If Not Intersect(Target, rang(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
To:
If Not Intersect(Target, range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then

Then it works fine in my Excel 97 and the cells with <enter in them add as
zeros.

Okay, below this is the latest version that works but I need the
<enter value to = 0. Right now, I get a #VALUE error in my
calculation field because it does not recognize <enter as any value.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "F10:N10" '<=== change to suit


On Error GoTo ws_exit
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value = "" Then
Target.Value = "<enter"
End If
End If


ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Try this modified version............

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "b2,c2,d2,e2" '<=== change to suit
On Error GoTo ws_exit
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value = "" Then
Target.Value = 0
Target.NumberFormat = "# ""<enter"""
Else
Target.NumberFormat = "General"
End If
End If
ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
