Predict Date of Enlistment

Many thanks Dave, this seems to work just fine! :thumb

Is there a layman's explanation of the date function here?

Code:

---

.Cells(LastRow + 1, Cnt) = frmEnlistment.txtSoldierNumber.Value
                        .Range(.Cells(3, Cnt + 1), .Cells(LastRow + 1, Cnt + 1)).NumberFormat = "@"
                        .Cells(LastRow + 1, Cnt + 1) = CStr(frmEnlistment.txtEnlistmentDate.Text)

---

Really like to know how the .NumberFormat = "@" works.

It picks up any leap year faults by putting up the prompt message, whether this is a leap year date in the past or the future. To keep things tidy, is there a way to ensure that a total of six numerals are used (**/**/****)?




Many thanks to Paul too!

Sorry if the two posts became crossed, this was not my intention.

I agree that separating the three parts kind of makes sense. Is there such a thing as having "tabs" on a UserForm that might facilitate this?

If you still want to use a single Userform, then the MultiPage control would be your best bet

Attachment 27871


Personally, I still think 3 separate, single purpose user forms would be cleaner, but that just the way I like to do things

The WB form in the attachment doesn't do anything except open with the workbook

I've noticed that some of the existing dates get "changed" to numbers as soon as a new entry is made. Is this part of the serial number / string and how do we get the existing dates back into dates?

Thanks!

Thanks for this Paul, I'll check this out to see how this works.

Steve...

Code:

---

.Range(.Cells(3, Cnt + 1), .Cells(LastRow + 1, Cnt + 1)).NumberFormat = "@"

---

The code sets the whole range of "dates" to text. As I pm'd, you will need to remove and then re-enter the previous "dates" that have been converted to numbers by this reset. You can add these 2 checks to ensure "date" format before entry...

Code:

---

Dim SplitDate As Variant   
    SplitDate = Split(frmEnlistment.txtEnlistmentDate.Text, "/")
    If SplitDate(0) <> 2 Or SplitDate(1) <> 2 Or SplitDate(2) <> 4 Then
    MsgBox "Enter date in dd/mm/yyyy format!", vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "Soldier Enlistment"
    Exit Sub
    End If
    If InStr(frmEnlistment.txtEnlistmentDate.Text, "/") <> 3 Or _
      InStr(frmEnlistment.txtEnlistmentDate.Text, "/") <> 6 Then
      MsgBox "Enter date in dd/mm/yyyy format!", vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "Soldier Enlistment"
    Exit Sub
    End If

Thanks Paul for your assistance and I agree your approach would separate the 3 activities of the form: adding battalions and regiments, entering soldiers, and searching for soldiers entered. Also, the "predicting" part of the search, only presents the dates, the soldier numbers are used to determine if the soldier exists and if not what known enlisted soldier dates are displayed. Thanks also to those that contributed to the related thread. Dave

Whoops. This line of code above was wrong. Dave

Code:

---

If Len(SplitDate(0)) <> 2 Or Len(SplitDate(1)) <> 2 Or Len(SplitDate(2)) <> 4 Then

---

I too would like to extend my thanks to all who assisted in some way, this is ver y much appreciated.

A special thanks goes out to #Dave who has been an absolute legend in sticking with me on this project.:bow:

I've put the code in the previous two posts as suggested (hopefully), but it still keeps throwing up the message "Enter date in dd/mm/yyyy format!"
I convinced it must be me! :banghead:

My apologies Steve. I also screwed up the Instr part of the code... I posted before I had tested thoroughly. My bad. This seems to work. Also note the change in code order. HTH. Dave

Code:

---

If InStr(1, frmEnlistment.txtEnlistmentDate.Text, "/", 1) <> 3 Or
 _InStr(4, frmEnlistment.txtEnlistmentDate.Text, "/", 1) <> 6 Then
MsgBox "Enter date in dd/mm/yyyy format!", vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "Soldier Enlistment"
Exit Sub
End If


SplitDate = Split(frmEnlistment.txtEnlistmentDate.Text, "/")
If Len(SplitDate(0)) <> 2 Or Len(SplitDate(1)) <> 2 Or Len(SplitDate(2)) <> 4 Then
MsgBox "Enter date in dd/mm/yyyy format!", vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "Soldier Enlistment"
Exit Sub
End If

---

Sorry, Dave, but the first two lines are throwing up a syntax error.

Code:

---

If InStr(1, frmEnlistment.txtEnlistmentDate.Text, "/", 1) <> 3 Or
 _InStr(4, frmEnlistment.txtEnlistmentDate.Text, "/", 1) <> 6 Then

---

That just posted wrong... so I messed it up on edit. It should be this...

Code:

---

If InStr(1, frmEnlistment.txtEnlistmentDate.Text, "/", 1) <> 3 Or _
InStr(4, frmEnlistment.txtEnlistmentDate.Text, "/", 1) <> 6 Then

---

Dave

That's fixed it. Many thanks, Dave!

Final part is to provide totals in TextBox 'txtTotalRecords' when a Regiment is selected (total number of Soldiers of all the Battalions added together for that Regiment) or if a Regiment and a Battalion are selected (total number of Soldiers of the selected Battalion).

I've added a Dim of Total (Integer) to the Private Sub cmbEnter_Click() and cobbled together the following, which I've placed after the Input checks and before any input is performed :-

Code:

---

' Count total number of Soldier entries of selected Regiment
   
    If frmEnlistment.lboRegiment.ListIndex = 1 Then
    Total = .Cells(.Rows.Count, Cnt).End(xlUp).Row
    txtTotalRecords.Total
   
    ' Count total number of Soldier entries of selected Battalion
   
    ElseIf frmEnlistment.lboRegiment.ListIndex = 1 And frmEnlistment.lboBattalion.ListIndex <> 1 Then
    Total = .Cells(.Rows.Count, Cnt).End(xlUp).Row
    txt.TotalRecords.Total
    End If

---

This is not having the desired effect of providing any total.

Steve

This should do it until the "Incidentally, not all soldier numbers were made up purely of numerals, some were prefixed with "G/", "G", "L/", "M", "M2", "T/", "T2/", "T3/", "SE/" or "SS/" to describe but a few" problem arises.
Replace this code...

Code:

---

Private Sub lboRegiment_Click()Dim Sht As Worksheet, LastCol As Integer, Cnt As Integer
Dim LastRow As Integer, Total As Integer
frmEnlistment.lboBattalion.Clear
For Each Sht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
If frmEnlistment.lboRegiment.List(frmEnlistment.lboRegiment.ListIndex) = Sht.Name Then
With Sheets(Sht.Name)
LastCol = .Cells(1, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
End With
For Cnt = 1 To LastCol
If Sheets(Sht.Name).Cells(1, Cnt).Value <> vbNullString Then
frmEnlistment.lboBattalion.AddItem Sheets(Sht.Name).Cells(1, Cnt).Value
LastRow = Sheets(Sht.Name).Cells(Sheets(Sht.Name).Rows.Count, Cnt).End(xlUp).Row
Total = Total + LastRow - 2
End If
Next Cnt
Exit For
End If
Next Sht
frmEnlistment.txtTotalRecords.Value = Total
End Sub

---

Add this code...

Code:

---

Private Sub lboBattalion_Click()
Dim Sht As Worksheet, LastCol As Integer, Cnt As Integer, LastRow As Integer
For Each Sht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
If frmEnlistment.lboRegiment.List(frmEnlistment.lboRegiment.ListIndex) = Sht.Name Then
With Sheets(Sht.Name)
LastCol = .Cells(1, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
End With
For Cnt = 1 To LastCol
If Sheets(Sht.Name).Cells(1, Cnt).Value = _
        frmEnlistment.lboBattalion.List(frmEnlistment.lboBattalion.ListIndex) Then
LastRow = Sheets(Sht.Name).Cells(Sheets(Sht.Name).Rows.Count, Cnt).End(xlUp).Row
Exit For
End If
Next Cnt
Exit For
End If
Next Sht
frmEnlistment.txtTotalRecords.Value = LastRow - 2
End Sub

---

The end maybe? Dave

Dave, a H U G E thank you!! :clap:

Project complete!

As mentioned before, the other prefixes will not feature in this. People researching these will know if a specific Regiment has a prefix.

Many thanks,
Steve

That was quite a journey Steve. You are welcome. I hope that your initiative and these efforts will benefit the families of our past heroes. Be safe. Dave
