Validating UserForm TextBox to Only Accept Numbers

If you are fairly comfortable with Excel VBA you will most likely want to design a UserForm to ensure correct use of your Spreadsheet. However, just placing some TextBoxes on a UserForm for users to enter data is not enough. For example, the TextBoxes may be intended to take only numeric data and not Text strings. To do this you can use some code as shown below.

Private Sub TextBox1_Change() 

    OnlyNumbers 

End Sub 

 

Private Sub TextBox2_Change() 

    OnlyNumbers 

End Sub 

 

Private Sub TextBox3_Change() 

    OnlyNumbers 

End Sub 

 

Private Sub OnlyNumbers()



    If TypeName(Me.ActiveControl) = "TextBox" Then

        With Me.ActiveControl

            If Not IsNumeric(.Value) And .Value <> vbNullString Then

                MsgBox "Sorry, only numbers allowed"

                .Value = vbNullString

            End If

        End With

    End If

    

End Sub

As with any UserForm Control code, this code must reside in the Private Module of the UserForm Object
