Hello All
I have a worksheet that will be used for simple data entry of name, address,
etc etc. - 1 column per field. One of the columns will be 'start time'
(column S) and the next column will be 'end time' (column T). I have used
Chip Pearson's code to help with the formatting of the times, and this works
great (so 8.25am is entered as 825 etc - the code is below), but the problem
now is that I need to ensure that 'end time' is > 'start time'. When I set
the validation of the cells in the 'end time' column by selecting the entire
column T, then doing Data>Validation, selecting Custom and entering the
formula =T1>S1 this doesn't work - it still allows me to enter times in
column T that are earlier than the corresponding row's column S time. It has
been suggested that the validation may need to be included in the code - but
this is beyond my powers!
Hope someone can help.
Many thanks
Les
The formatting code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim TimeStr As String
On Error GoTo EndMacro
If Application.Intersect(Target, Range("S2:T99")) Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then
Exit Sub
End If
If Target.Value = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
If .HasFormula = False Then
Select Case Len(.Value)
Case 1 ' e.g., 1 = 00:01 AM
TimeStr = "00:0" & .Value
Case 2 ' e.g., 12 = 00:12 AM
TimeStr = "00:" & .Value
Case 3 ' e.g., 735 = 7:35 AM
TimeStr = Left(.Value, 1) & ":" & Right(.Value, 2)
Case 4 ' e.g., 1234 = 12:34
TimeStr = Left(.Value, 2) & ":" & Right(.Value, 2)
Case 5 ' e.g., 12345 = 1:23:45 NOT 12:03:45

Case Else
