Excel Error Messages When Opening
Excel Hi. I am wondering if it is at all possible (and if so, how) to CREATE your own error message in Microsoft Excel. Basicaly, I am wanting to create an error message if two cells' figures do not match up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Let's say you wanted G1 and H18 to match. Go to G1, click Data -> Validation. On the 'Settings' tab, change 'Allow' to "Custom", and in the 'Formula' box below simply type in: =G1=H18 Click over to the Error Alert tab and set up your own custom error message and choose whether you want your message to "Stop" the user from entering that data or just warn/inform them. Do the same for cell H18. Select it, do those steps, but for the formula change it to: =H18=G1. Using VBA macros you could further enhance things, but might be more complicated than you need. Let us know if that's something you're interested in. Updated formulas, my bad.

I tried this out with the Data -> Validation tool. However, upon doing this and entering in dummy data, no error messages are appearing! The two cell's figures are different but no error apeears... My second query is: will this error alert appear when, say, cell E16 is entered but cell M52 has not been? This could be an inconvenien

in the sheet. We want to throw an error, when someone is trying to enter data against the validation.
How To Set Alert In Excel
For example, if you want to set the restriction in such way that, a particular cell in Excel should only accept text of 10 characters in length, then you can specify the http://www.excelforum.com/excel-general/642403-creating-error-messages-in-ms-excel.html validation for that cell in Excel easily. Add Error Messages in Excel Whenever anyone enters text beyond the restriction, you can show the error message explaining the validation. In this article I will let you know how to create or add error messages in Excel. First, select the cell (E6 in our example) which you want to set the restriction. Click on the http://www.thewindowsclub.com/add-error-messages-in-excel Data tab and under Data Tools section, click Data Validation. In Data Validation dialog box, click on Settings tab. In the Allow drop-down, you can specify what data is allowed in the cell. It can be a whole number, Date, Decimal or even custom formula can be added. In our case, as we need to set the restriction for more than 10 characters, select Text Length. If you do not want to throw an error for empty cell, then check Ignore blank check-box. Now, in Data drop-down, select the operator. In our case, I selected between. As we have chosen ‘between', we need to specify Minimum and Maximum range. We can either select the cell range or enter the values directly. For our case, enter ‘1’ in Minimum and ‘10’ in Maximum. Advertisement ^ Now, click on the Input Message tab. This tab is used to specify the message to be shown when the cell is selected and for that check Show input message when cell is selected. Specify the Title and Message to be shown when the cell is selected. Title is shown in bold

Input Message Size Although there are 255 characters allowed in the Input Message box, the box has a maximum height and width, and all the characters might not fit. NOTE: The size of the message box cannot be changed -- it is automatically set by Excel. For example, in the message box below, there are 254 "i" characters, with an "X" at the end. However, in the message box below, there are 254 "W" characters, with an "X" at the end. Only 126 of the characters appear in full, and the remaining characters are cut off, or not visible. Input Message Position In most cases, the input message pops below the cell, with the left edge of the message at the middle point of the cell's width.

I have to admit I have only created simple macros before. Right now I have an "if" statement to compare two dates to see if they are more than 60 days apart and if yes an error message of sorts shows in the cell. I would rather have a pop-up box that gives the error message and that the user would need to click 'ok' to have it go away. Can anyone help? P.S. I did write some code but I kept getting error messages I could not figure out. Thanks.
