And the drop-down list should look like this:

Calling Multiple Columns / Rows From Dropdown List

Feb 4, 2013

I have a drop down list, using data validation, calling from a range name on a different sheet($1). Works great. I see my list of choices.

What I want to do next is for another named range on another sheet($2) to be called when I select one of the options from the drop down.

So say the drop down is in I71, when I pick an option from that list it will populate (B72, B73:G73, B74:G74...etc...) from a named range I have already defined on ($2).

Where would I put the (if I71=Range1, then paste this info into the (B72, B73:G73, B74:G74...etc...) on $1 ?

Hide / Unhide Columns In Multiple Worksheets Based On Item Chosen In Dropdown List?

Feb 26, 2014

I am hoping to create a drop down list of months in one sheet, and when I select a certain month, columns in about 10 other worksheets in the same workbook will either hide or unhide columns...

The spreadsheet is laid out with columns (C-N) for each month in the year, for actuals, then columns for budget and budget variance (O-P), then YTD Actual, YTD Budget and YTD Variance. When I select September, for example, I want October-December to hide, and leave Jan-Sep unhidden, while keeping the budget, YTD and variance columns.

Is there a VBA code that can achieve this?

Adding Text Entered In Userform Combobox Into Dropdown List

Aug 1, 2012

I am not sure if this can be done easily but essentially what I have is a userform that fills out a form that will used by several different people and saved to a central location.

There is a blank combobox currently labeled "Supplier:" that each person fills out each time on the userform (there are no dropdowns yet).

What I am wanting to do is for every person who saves (I have coded the save button) with the "Supplier:" combobox filled out to save what they entered and input that into the combobox dropdown so when the next person uses the userform the entry the previous person entered would be in the combobox as an option to select.

Essentially, a combobox populates itself based on what previous users have entered into it.

Creating A Dropdown List Using Matching Data From 2 Columns To Populate The List

Jun 11, 2013

I'm creating a spreadsheet to keep track of my costs of production in an online game. Within the game there are a range of spawned resources that appear for only a short time before being unobtainable these resources have specific types that is shared between multiple spawns of the resource but each resource spawn has a unique name.

My first worksheet lists all the resources and their various qualities and the later worksheets are meant to allow me to choose from a list resources matching the requirements of the item I'm looking to craft. The example i have shown in the second picture requires Tatooinian Fiberplast and Lokian Wild Wheat to craft so in the Chosen Resource column I would like to have a drop down list allowing me to select the named resource type i would like to use - for Tatooinian Fiberplast the only thing on the list should be Omnitwixi and for the Wild Wheat it should show Fizi and Krad

Dropdown List Created From 2 Columns Of Info?

Mar 24, 2014

I have a list of names in column B, I can easily put this into a list

I also have a different list of names in Column C

These two list are feeding from sharepoint and are updated regularly

What I want to do is create a drop down list that will list all the names in Column B and Column C, while keeping the initial lists in there separate columns

I have been trying to find a formula to lookup both columns and return all the names into another column (E) using the formula below

=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$C$600,MOD(ROWS(E$2:E2)-1,ROWS($B$2:$C$600))+1,INT((ROWS(E$2:E2)-1)/ROWS($B$2:$C$600))+1),"")

the plan been to just put column E into my drop down list, but this formula is returning alot of blanks between Column B + C in the list (there might be 100 names in column B and only 30 in column C)

To try remove the blanks I tried another formula pulling the info into Column F,

=IFERROR(INDEX($E$2:$E$5000,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($E$2:$E$5000)-ROW($E$2)+1)/($E$2:$E$5000<>""),ROWS(F$2:F2))),"")

But while this did remove the blanks (about 500 blanks) it left me with about 70 "0" errors.

VB- For Multiple Columns With Different Dropdown Selections

Apr 16, 2009

Below is an IF CASE VB code i was using yesterday. I am coming to a dilemma. There can be multiple columns on this one particular spreadsheet that will have different selections from the dropdown that was created. For example in column B "VIRTUAL" could be selected which will hide the rows specified in the code below, but in column C "PHYSICAL" might be selected which requires other rows to be displayed but the rows for the selection in column B need to stay displayed. I am thinking the best way to do this might be to color code cels within each column based upon selections but how can a cel be color coded based upon a specific selection from the dropdown?

Creating Dropdown List That Returns Defined Numerous Columns Of Data

[Code] .......

We use excel for scheduling purposes and each and every day we fill out a floor chart with who is working that day. As it stands now we have to print out a template and hand write all names or type them in and print it out. What I would like to try and do is define each set of names and allow for easy access to auto fill these names. I feel it needs to be a simple process as not all of our managers experienced in excel or formulas. What I would like to try an accomplish is in sheet 1 cell A1 to be able to create a drop list or formula that that would let me return all the names for a given day.

For the purposes of this discussion we can just define each list as the day that is the header ( IE A2:A4 on sheet 2 would be defined as "monday". Also, I already have the names autofilled based off of what the our schedule has. I'm curious if I could create a drop down list with each day of the week as an option, and if they select Tuesday it will then return all the names defined as Tuesday in a column below.And the next day be able to return Wednesday names and so on.

I'm not stuck on it being a drop down list. Maybe if they could just type and =(defined name) in the box above and it would return all the names.

I have tried an =(defined name) and it does return the value but only for the first cell and it has to be in the same row for it to return the name. Which doesn't work because I would like the names that are being defined on a separate sheet.

Searchable Dropdown List - Multiple Lines?

Apr 2, 2014

I built a searchable drop down list in excel which will create quick receipts from a huge list of products.

I entered my products in one column and their respective content and price in the columns next to it.

My goal is to create a searchable drop down list which will include all of my products so that when I search and select the product my customer ordered it will ultimately pull the content and price with it to form a receipt with multiple products.

The problem I ran into is that my searchable drop down list cannot be copied to the multiple rows below.

Cell B8 is active.

Returning Multiple Values As Dropdown List?

Apr 24, 2013

Actually I plan to create an eRequisition Form for our branch sites. My focus would be the consumable items of Lexmark printers. I want to create cascading drop-down lists based on data table (worksheet : All) as per attached. From lots of examples I've seen in this or other similar forums, I notice that in order to allow this cascading to work is by creating column with header name identical with the input in the 1st List. But I'm thinking, if I need to do that, then there gonna be hundreds or maybe thousands columns to create as the number of branches are expanding, so I think tht should not be practical.

I found examples that shows how lookup 1 value can return multiple values but I totally cannot think of a way to allow those multiple values to be returned as dropdown list rather than displaying all in rows of the worksheet.

What I need is that, in 1st list, upon selecting the branch, it'll populate all items related to the branch and when selecting the item, it'll populate brand/model list for the particular item only. The input in the dropdown list should not have duplicates. Been trying using pivot to do this with macro that enables auto refresh once any changes made in the table.

create this cascading drop-down lists just based on the table as per attached? I really want to avoid having to create extra tables to allow this cascading to work.

Same Dependent Dropdown List In Multiple Rows

Jul 4, 2013

I have been asked to edit a worksheet for a client, they want me to create a dependent drop list using existing data from three columns.

I have created a dynamic named range and used and index to create the drop down list, which seems to work correctly. I run into a problem with I try to add the list to more than one column, as it obviously pulls in values from the Helper sheet I have used.

When the user tries to select values in row one after making a selection in row two, the values available for selection are incorrect.

Is there any way to have a three column dependent drop list that can be used in more than one row?

I have uploaded the file here: ownCloud

The information on the tab named 'Cabling Ducts' is used in an index on the 'Helper' sheet to remove duplicate values. The drop down list columns appear in 'CS 1' under the headings 'Cable Type', 'Size (mm)' and 'Cores'. Helper sheet is self explanatory.

Dependent Dropdown List With Multiple Sheets

Aug 1, 2007

There are other dependent drop-down list posts on this forum, but none of them are talking about working with multiple worksheets. I have three worksheets, one called "Main", one called "Universities", one called "Schools".

One the "Main" worksheet, I have two Combo Boxes (the one from the "Form" toolbar). I would like to first pick a university from the combo box and then based on the selection, the second combo box would give me just the schools in that specific univeristy. My guess on how to link the two drop-down list is by the ID column. If I select "University of Washington" which has an ID of "WAS" it would narrow down the second list to ID with "WAS" in it (Which would be "WAS1", "WAS2, etc). The reason I am using Combo Box is because of the "Link Cell" property which give me an output of the number of the selection into a cell. I will use that to get the corresponding ID. I have attached an example to this post.

Multiple Dependencies For Data Validation Dropdown List In Excel - NO VBA

Feb 7, 2012

So, I need to figure out how to make the populated contents of a single dropdown box dependent upon the selected results in two other drop downs.

As there are ~35K lines in the sheet, creating Lists is impractical, and VBA is out due to client security settings.

My data sort order is: Region Name > Area # > Facility Name

I have a drop down to select the Region I want to work in.

The drop-down for Area # populates based on the selection from Region Name.

The hang-up is that the area numbers are 1-4 for each Region.

So, I can't simply populate another drop-down for Facility from the result from Area #, but it has to be based upon the results of both of the former results.

Dropdown List Displaying Multiple Results - No Functionality If Worksheet Is Protected

Nov 28, 2013

I wanted to create a multiple drop down lists (using data validation) in column B (50 in all, every 3rd line) whereby, multiple, comma deliminated, results would display in each of the cells - for use elsewhere in the spreadsheet.

I found some code (as follows) which worked perfectly for me

VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rngDV As Range
Dim oldVal As String

[Code].....

As I mentioned above, I don't really understand the code and all I know is that the line about halfway down "If Target.Column = 2 Then" is defining which column (B) this will work in.

The problem I am having is that I need to protect the worksheet and the moment I "protect" the worksheet, the functionality of displaying multiple values goes away and the drop-down list reverts to only displaying one of the available values.
