checking for dupes

[SangelNet]

Hi guys,

in the intent to create a macro that checks for a dupe number with in
several sheets in a workbook(not all),

sheets 280 and 283 thru 288 i want to be able to be in column T and
enter a number if that number is already in column t of any of the
other sheets a msgbox will pop.

this is what i come up with.since im just strating to code its not
working. what is wrong here?

Sub dupcheck()
Dim c As Range
Dim ilast As Long

ilast = cell(Rows.Count, "t").End(xlUp).Row
For Each c In Workbook("sheet283:sheet288;sheet280").range("t4:T"
& ilast)
If Active.cell.Value = c.Range.Value Then
MsgBox ("message here")
End If

thnx

This macro will do what you want. Read the code and ask questions as
needed. This macro has to go into the ThisWorkbook module of your workbook.

thnx for the reply

im kinda lost in the part that says target.column = 20

the 20 represents or should represent the value or the colunm?

 

[Otto Moehrbach]

In this context, the 20 is the number of the column, with Column A being the
1st column. Column T is the 20th column. The code at this point is saying
to take action only if the entry is in Column T and in one of the listed
sheets. HTH Otto

hi there, sorry about that ..I was out for a bit.

ran the code and got an error in this line:

For Each ws In Sheets(Array("Sheet280", "Sheet283", "Sheet284",
"Sheet285", "Sheet286", "Sheet287", "Sheet288"))

could it be because its refering to the sheets in sheets. I dont know
much, just speculating.

really interested in getting it to work.

thnx

That line should all be on one line in VBA. Otto

Hello SangelNet,

Provided the worksheet names are "Sheet280" etc., this code will take
check column "T" of sheet for duplications of whatever the active cell
contains.

==================================
Sub dupcheck()

Dim Dupe As Variant
Dim ID As Variant
Dim Wks As Worksheet

For Each ID In Array(280, 283, 284, 285, 286, 287)
Set Wks = Worksheets("Sheet" & ID)
Dupe = WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Wks.Columns("A"),
ActiveCell.Value)
If Dupe > 0 Then
MsgBox "Value has already been entered."
End If
Next ID

End Sub
==================================

I ran the code. placed it under "this workbook". changed the
corresponding letter for the column, but its not giving me an error
nor a result message.
played around with it for a bit and still, nothing.

Hello SangelNet,

Can you provide samples of your worksheet names? The error is probably
due to not having the correct names in the macro.
