before save/close

[3earth]

Would like code to not allow save or close if cells P9 through R27 have ? Instead of blank. Thank you for any assistance.

Welcome to the Board!

Why would those cells have a "?" in them? What if they're blank?

Here's a start:

<font face=Calibri><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Private</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN> Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel <SPAN style="color:#00007F">As</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Boolean</SPAN>)<br>    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Dim</SPAN> c <SPAN style="color:#00007F">As</SPAN> Range<br>        <SPAN style="color:#00007F">For</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Each</SPAN> c <SPAN style="color:#00007F">In</SPAN> Range("P9:R27")<br>            <SPAN style="color:#00007F">If</SPAN> c.Value = "?" <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Then</SPAN><br>                Cancel = <SPAN style="color:#00007F">True</SPAN><br>                MsgBox "Data missing in Range P9:R27"<br>                <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Exit</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN><br>            <SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">If</SPAN><br>        <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Next</SPAN> c<br><SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN></FONT>

Hope that helps,

I have this formula in each of those cells =IF(S9>0.01,"?","") so that the person entering data will see that data is required. Each has a drop down list to choose from using Data Validation.

The code still allows me to save without stopping and close without stopping if ? is in any of those cells. I copied the code and placed in Workbook. Do I need to do another step?

How do you have Data Validation & a formula in those cells?

Note that on testing, the code picks up a "?" as the result of a formula.

If blank, I want the user to be able to save/close. I did not know that it was odd to have a formula and data validation in one cell. But I do have both. I input the formula and then added Data Validation to be able to have the drop down list of Y or N and input messagae explaining what will happen if Y or N is picked. Yes, ? should be in the field if S9 (this goes to S27) is greater than 0.01. If 0, blank.

This is a type of order form for employees to request purchasing. I would attach the file but I can't figure that out right this second.

I don't know what I did differently, but this code works. I copied it and added beforesave also so that the user has to complete the fields properly before being able to close or save the file. Thank you so much for your help with this. Now this form is going to work for me not against me. ray: Thank you so much!!!!
