Date picker for Excel with VBA code

[@TsiriniainaRakotonirina]

I programmed in VB since 2005, and I thought I mastered it, till today, I am humbled. More than a week now I searched over the net how to do exactly this, and the only option I found was the TDatePicker. But the problem was it appears in front of the cell! But this, what you shared, is exactly, exactly, yet EXACTLY what I had in mind, but struggled to do it. You are a divine messenger, and earned my subscription. You are the very first channel I registered yet I am then #147 of your subscriber. God bless my brother, waiting for the next video agani

Whoa thanks for such a nice comment & sub! 🙏 Awesome that you've been using VB for a long time, love it! 💖

[@marcelmanzardo]

First of all thank you VERY much for an outstanding piece of code! Anyone with the 64 bit version of office will be eternally thankful for a functioning date picker. However, there is one change to the code I would strongly suggest you implement in your version. The datepicker shows up whenever a cell is formatted as a date. If you reference a date via a formula someone might inadvertantly overwrite the formula with the date picker. A simple fix is to test for a formula in a cell and if so NOT display the datepicker. it can easily be fixed in the Class Module - DatePicker Manager in the function checkForGridDP: replace the line If VBA.IsDate(ActiveCell) Or ActiveCell.NumberFormat Like "*[Dd]*" Then with: If (VBA.IsDate(ActiveCell) Or ActiveCell.NumberFormat Like "*[Dd]*") And Not (ActiveCell.HasFormula) Then This will fix this issue. There is one more thing which would be a major enhancement. The original ActiveX datepicker allowed for a specific cell to be referenced. So DatePickers on different sheets could change the same "global" date cell which was really helpful. This is impossible to achieve with the current implementation. The DatePicker form would have to include a field where the reference cell could be entered. When left emptpy, the date would be applied to the selected cell as it works right now. Just some thoughts and thanks again!

Bro, you're a genius! I've been looking for a calendar like this for a long time, and only your version works as it should. Thank you so much for your hard work!!!

[@motos]

Ive been doing VBA/Excel almost day to day for 10 years and this just proves there's still more to learn. I had a different idea but this was so elegantly and wonderfully presented I didn't see any other reason to try and homebrew my own idea. This was a wonderful tutorial and creativity for this solution was off the charts. Great stuff man.

[@Kailuaboy59]

Such a clean implementation! This blows my previous attempts out of the water. Works flawlessly and I was even able to copy the modules and form to my personal macro workbook so its functionality is available all the time without installing an add-in. Thank you!

[@broderp]

I'm struggling with this. I need to create a sheet that has a few columns that need dates. I was hoping to simplify the task. I'm far from being a VBA expert but hoped to download the file and be able to work it into the sheet I needed without the need to write all the code. I downloaded the file named "date picker Video" and started it. I also unblocked the security feature in the properties tab for the file and enabled macros if asked. When clicking on the blue button I get a popup that says, 'Specified DLL function not found'. If I select OK teh calendar shows but it is not a finished calendar as shown at the 10:57 mark of this video. Clicking away into another cell then throws out a "MS Visual Basic Run-time error '1001': Application defined or object-defined error". What am I doing wrong? I also downloaded and unblocked the file "dp blank" This file opens but typing the date or manually entering the date does absolutely nothing. I see the Home ribbon has the Date Picker button, this evokes errors such as Can't find DLL entry point FindWindowA in user 32. Does this not work on 64 bit versions of Excel?

[@Chetz2609]

Hi there. Thank you for this! This is a great tool to use and I am happy I came across this video. I have a problem with my code. I have done exactly what you have, and for some reason, at the 14:45 mark, when I select the cell, it shows the month and year, but when I go to another cell that is above or below the first cell that was active, the labels revert back to Month and 20XX. Not sure why this is happening? I checked for syntax errors etc. but I do not see what I have done differently to your code.

Thank you! 🙏

[@TessLaughlin]

I've used your spreadsheet and copied it into my own so I've got the date picker working well now, except I can't scroll the month and need to change it to dd/mm/yy format. How can I do those things?

[@radsheets]

Thanks Tess! For the dd/mm/yy, the function GetDatePicked() returns the date to enter, and it pulls from datePicked which is the string of the date, so adjusting that inside that function to dd/mm/yy is a quick way. That all gets set from the tag on the labels, so changing the tags to be dd/mm/yy would work as well. For the month changing, clicking on the month name will let you pick another, if you want mouse wheel then you'd have to adjust the 64-bit api's in the api_scroll_wheel file to work (last I tried I was hitting some strange errors, but left the code there in case someone wants to adjust it).

This is amazing and very helpful! Would love to know how to change the color of the calender itself. Instead of a Dark Red/Maroon-ish color if I wanted to change it where would it go in the code?

[@radsheets]

Thanks! For the color, the easiest way: if you open the datepickerform in the VBA editor, you can select the control redBG and set the backcolor property and the bordercolor property to the color you want in the property picker. Then press the save button in the VBA editor. You could also add some code to the UserForm_Initialize() to set to color, such as redBG.BackColor = 12632319

Hey Rad Sheets, this is awesome thank you for sharing. Just wondering, if I share the sheet with others, do they have access to use the date picker? or would they have to install the date picker too?

[@richardwood2310]

Hi Sam, I have updated the original download to your latest 221114 version and have a few questions. There was a small change in this version that causes a problem and wondered whether you can explain the reason for the change? It has to do with checking whether the selected cell is a date or not and supplements the original use of the IsDate function. You now check the number format string as well which seems irrelevant to me. Furthermore, if the number format is for a number, not a date, and includes the "[Red]" qualifier for example, the letter "d" incorrectly causes this version to treat the number as a date! My other question concerns worksheet protection; if the worksheet is protected the AddIn will not detect a selected cell with a date. I have overcome this in my own workbooks by enabling VBA to run using UserInterfaceOnly, but have you thought of a solution within the AddIn itself? Thanks again for such a handy tool!

[@richardwood2310]

I have been using this amazing tool for several years in my VBA workbooks but for the last few months Excel has been crashing on me. Is there a known problem with the most recent Excel 365? The fault seems to be caused when switching worksheets after simply selecting random cells with the mouse on another worksheet. I'm using your date-picker as an Add-in.

[@radsheets]

Thanks for using the add-in! I haven’t experienced or heard of it doing that, though sometimes 365 does pick up a bug … though normally they get addressed pretty quickly like a week or so. You can try uninstalling the add-in and seeing if it continues to have issues. If you’re selecting random cells the add-in isn’t doing much so hopefully not the problem!

[@richardwood2310]

@@radsheets Thanks for the tip. I've updated to the latest download but same problem. I've also tried to debug the event handlers in my workbook as well as date-picker and all seems to be ok; the problem also cannot be replicated in breakpoint mode so perhaps it's a timing issue? Also, the problem cannot be replicated if date-picker is not installed! Do you have any suggestions for how I could debug this in case there's a VBA problem? I'd appreciate any further thoughts. Thank you.

[@radsheets]

Hey thanks for debugging! Sorry you’re seeing a problem! Based on your description I would try commenting out some of the API calls given those can cause Excel to crash, so the set timeout and mouse wheel detection to start and seeing if it still happens, and continue down that path of commenting out APIs … you could also try the date picker in the user form and see if that reacts, it’s similar code … sorry I can’t be of more help! I know these things can be a pain!

Thanks Francois! I added, to the FAQ section of the date picker download, a empty workbook with the date picker already copied into it. You can copy your items into that workbook and it should work well!

What an amazing feature! Just a question, does the calendar only appear in the cell right below the last date you've added, or is it possible to show the calendar for each cell of an entire column? I mean, if for some reason the person skips a cell and wants the calendar to appear in the other cell, it doesn't appear on my file, but it could be me not knowing how to use it

[@radsheets]

Thank you Lara 🙏Interesting idea, there are a couple ways I can think of, maybe if you adjust the VBA code to check if the cell is formatted for date entry, that could help. Or on cell selection, walk up and see if you run into a date to show it. Those could make nice future videos. In the mean time, if you don't want to change the code, you could use the right click entry point, or the ribbon entry point on the home tab ... not quite the same, but hopefully it can help!

[@jennifergraham5088]

@@radsheets Thanks for creating this feature. I have the same issue as Lara. I want to force the user to input a date in a cell for a particular column. However, if the cell is more than 1 cell below a date, the icon does not appear. Where in the code do I go to change so that it looks for 5 above or 10 above? I did Alt + F11 and could not figure out how to adjust, mostly because I have no idea what the coding means and didn't know what to look for. Thanks!

[@radsheets]

Hey Jennifer! Thanks for commenting on it. I did a quick update to the date picker just now to check for a date number format in the cell ... so if you have a date format in the cell the grid icon should appear even if no dates are around it. There isn't a perfect way to check for a date format, so I did a more generic way that should work in most scenarios. The change is in function "checkForGridDP" which has logic to see if it should show the grid date picker icon based on the cell's number format. Let me know if it works!

Hello, I went thought your video example and tried to add the functionality in your Add-In (specifically month/year picker and month up/down) but I noticed that the basic implementation of both is different and was not able to add these to the code shown in the video. What I need is a picker that can have this functionality but also is specific to one (or two) selected cell(s). I was able to make some progress reverse coding some of your Add-In onto the example you show in the video but have had some issues I cannot find a way around. Namely, getting the calendar to auto-populate at the start with the current date and passing the picked date to the cell where the calendar picker lives (I can make the spreadsheet available if you want to see it). If you could post how to do this that would be of great help. Thank you in advanced.

[@radsheets]

Hi DuHast! Based on another comment I adjusted the date picker to show on pre-formatted date cells, does that help with your spreadsheet? So on the cells you want the date picker to appear, just format the cell as a date format and it will appear.

[@TikalDuhast]

@@radsheets Hello Rad, thank you for the reply. The spreadsheet where I want to use the picker has many calculated dates that stem from the one specified in the input cell (where the date picker will live). I'm trying to make it work in a test spreadsheet first as to not have the new code become confused with the code currently in the spreadsheet. I am so close to making it work. On one hand, the calendar is not automatically populated and gives an error (invalid procedure call or argument), once the error is ignored and the month and year are picked by clicking them, then the calendar populates with the right dates. But, when clicking on a day, the date is only passed along to the cell if it is within the first 23 days displayed in the calendar. On the other hand, I can make the calendar auto populate nicely, and the month and year become unclickable as well as the days displayed, so no date is passed along to the cell. So this is the dilemma, I can make some of the features work but others break... I'm sure if you could take a look at the code you could figure it out quickly. If you want to take a look at the spreadsheet let me know and I can send it over.

[@radsheets]

Hey DuHast! If you upload it somewhere I can download and take a look. I did just upload, in the FAQ of the date picker, a download link for a blank workbook with the date picker copied into it and working. So you could start with that and add your sheets / data to it and it should work well!

I like this date picker but I don't like that it displays the calendar prompt icon on the sheet for cells that are formatted as "currency" instead of just cells that are formatted as "date." It doesn't do this for cells formatted as "general" or "text" or "percentage." Any fix for this?

Hi , i would like to know to add datepicker in userform . please help me out ,i am new to vba

[@radsheets]

Hey Mohd, great question: its worth a video on its own so I'll put in in the queue, but you would have a couple ways to do it 1-build the form and reserve part of it for a date picker, and show that part so its all in one place 2-from a button on the form open up another form, which would be the date picker. Either way you can start with the workbook in the video (its in the FAQ download on the site) and decide if you want expand that form or pop it up. I'll be sure to do a future video on date picker popups in user forms! Thank you for the idea!

[@mohdikram8303]

? visual Basic for application. Run-time error "53": File not found user 32 ( and on the last right button = debug). I am using mac27

[@cuongeva]

That so amazing ! Your add-in is very helpful for me. But it will be great to me if you can change the selection by scrolling to change the time when clicking on the hour or minute like choosing the month like now Meaning that: When clicking on the month or year, it is still selected as it is in your current project. And when clicking on a date, it will select a date, and it will save that selected date. Then click on the hour or minute to select the time with scrolling the mouse wheel and select the Day - month - year - hour minute to save it down to the cell Can you help me on that?

hi. this is not working in Mac

This is the best

[@andreyafanasyev2767]

Date Picker itself does not run on MAC. The first shown error is: "Run-time error '53': File not found: user32"

[@Dan_nn]

stop using Mac, and buy a Pc with windows

[@NB_nobody]

Very helpful add

[@anilbajracharya2135]

It shows runtime error '53' on my mac

[@radsheets]

Ah yeah, I don't think the Mac can do the API part of the code given its Windows specific, but the other parts should work. If you remove the APIs and calls to them, should run.

[@tracyneal2721]

@@radsheets I have the same problem! Any help on how to do this? Remove the API?
