Hi all, I'm very new to VBA but trying my hand at my first form. I've searched for a couple of hours an can't seem to fix this so here I am....

What I have done so far is create a form with a textboxes which relates to an upper limit for which I want to base my changes in the active cell.

I have the form initialize with

MAMtext.Value = 1


Then, I take some data in column A and run a text to columns on it via the userform macro OK button

Next step is to take that textbox value (1) and use it to see if my activecell is greater than it starting at C4:

Range("C4").Select

Do While ActiveCell.Value <> ""
If ActiveCell.Value > MAMtext.Value Then ActiveCell.Value = "DETSAT"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop


and so on until all values above 1 have been changed to DETSAT.

When I step in the macro, everything looks fine (MAMtext.Value displays as "1" though?), but it doesn't then change my activecell to DETSAT as the loop cycles...

When I try the line in the immediate window it seems to work fine.

What am I missing? I'm sure it is something simple!

Thanks in advance!

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Welcome to board Matt
Try converting your value to an integer like this
Code:
Int(MAMtext.value)

it works! thanks!

For future reference next question will then be... How do you use a TextBox for entering numbers as integers (or even decimals) by default?

Thanks heaps for the help!

FYI all, i used Cdec(expression) as sometimes the values will be a decimal.

still frustrating I have to do that though... surely theres a setting somewhere for the textbox to input as a decimal anyway?

Absolutely no problem, glad to help.

Thanks for the feedback. And to the best of my knowledge a textbox will always return a string unless formatted.
