    Help Displaying Message

    Hello everyone, My first time posting here. I'm wondering if someone can help me. I'm trying to receive a pop up message for any number that = to 1200 or > 1200. is there anyway to do this without VBA.

    You mean you want to tell a user when he/she is entering a number in a cell that is >=1200?
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Re: Help Displaying Message

    sorry for the confusion. I need a message to display if there are any numbers = or > 1200. I want users to still be able to enter them into the cell but i want some type of flag to display for me. Now i've already done conditional formatting but the list of clients is so freakin huge that i don't want to take the time to search through every entry. thats why i'm asking for a message to display. then i can just find and see which client is => then that number

    Without VBA you won't get a "Pop up" message, but you can get any blank cell to show an alert message...

    Something like: =IF(Countif(A:C,">=1200"),"An Entry Over 1200 Detected","")

    This will show the message if any cell within columns A to C have a number greater than or equal to 1200.

    Will that work.

    Learning VBA is like learning any thing new

    A lot depends on your own abilities to learn new things
    How much time and effort you want to put into it & why you want to learn VBA (What you will use it for)

    Creating forms, maniulting data requires fairly basic knowledge

    Interacting with other programs & websites will require more advanced skills

    You can learn many basic things quickly.
