Hello,

I would like to request to Code for Admission No
Range is started from B11 to B510
If user enter a123456789 or a-123456789 it always converted into
A-123456789
[A-Z] {1} First Character must be any alphabet in UPPER CASE between A to Z and max strength is 1
[-] {1} After first character Hyphen symbol must be shown and max strength is 1
[0-9] {1 to 9} after hyphen symbol any numeric character between 0 to 9 where min strength could be 7 and max strength could be 9.

Hi TrowaD
It is similar but the solution is not user friendly its a formula, and its not valuable when user is enter in B column where range is fixed B11 to B 510.
I am not demotivating your solution, you create it with your concept which is appreciable.

Thanks

Hi Smuneeb,

Good to see you find this user friendly.

How about this code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("B11:B510")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target.Value = vbNullString Then Exit Sub

If InStr(1, Target.Value, "-") = 2 And Len(Target.Value) >= 9 And Len(Target.Value) <= 11 Then
    If StrComp(Left(Target.Value, 1), UCase(Left(Target.Value, 1)), vbBinaryCompare) = 0 Then Exit Sub
    Target = UCase(Target.Value)
    Exit Sub
ElseIf InStr(1, Target.Value, "-") <> 2 And Len(Target.Value) >= 8 And Len(Target.Value) <= 10 Then
    Target = UCase(Left(Target.Value, 1)) & "-" & Right(Target.Value, Len(Target.Value) - 1)
Else
    Target.Value = vbNullString
    MsgBox "This is not a valid entry."
End If
End Sub


Best regards,
Trowa

Hi Smuneeb,

Then why didn't you let me know in the other post?

You can try the following code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("B11:B510")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

If InStr(1, Target.Value, "-") = 2 Then
    If StrComp(strFirst, UCase(strFirst), vbBinaryCompare) = 0 Then Exit Sub
    Target = UCase(Target.Value)
    Exit Sub
Else
    Target = UCase(Left(Target.Value, 1)) & "-" & Right(Target.Value, Len(Target.Value) - 1)
End If
End Sub


Best regards,
Trowa

Hi Trowa
Your code is user friendly but please make one more addition as per my request in posted query that after hyphen symbol if the length of numeric character length (not alpha character length i.e. no alpha character is applied after hyphen symbol) is between 7 and 9 then it changes to requirement else it shows an error message.

Thanks
