Within a data validation selection, are you able to do both Auto Complete and Auto Delete? I have this posted at another forum [url]but have not been able to find a solution (a copy of the file, test. zip is there as well). I am not sure it is possible, or, at least I have been unable to get it working. I can do each, but not both.
I have also been utilizing:

I'm using a very long validation list for a drop down menu. Is there anyway to setup the drop down so that one could start typing and the list would immediately eliminate to less options?
For example, my list consists of 3000 plant names. Instead of scrolling down to choose a plant that begins with a letter P, is there anyway to start typing "P" in the cell and have the list pop up and jump down to entries that begin with "P"?
I know I've entered data with such a function but can't figure out how to set it up?
I am using the same VBA that is discussed in several threads on the internet to create a combobox on top of underlying excel validation. The most relevant post I have found on this site is linked below, however I am told that it has expired and I can not reply to it so I started this new thread.
Data Validation Autocomplete Via Combobox Modification
The VBA code discussed in the above linked thread is working pretty well in my excel file which has MANY different fields being validated. However, there is a problem that I can not seem to get past. Specifically, the combobox is currently showing the validated data behind it, but will also allow IN-valid data to be entered. Is there a way to stop this and force only valid data to be used (i.e., is there a way to force a "re-validation" on exit from the combo box)?
I need the tabs of a project action log to auto-populate and auto-delete in a master log. (So when something is added or deleted in a tab it is added or deleted on the master) I use excel a little bit for work and personal finance purposes but I have zero experience with macros or VBA.

I have my companies database as a .csv file, is there any function where I can enter in the company account number and it will automatically fill in the company name, address, contact etc like a mail merge type thing and for it to work vice versa enter the company name and it fills in the account number and address all automatically taken from the information on the .csv file?
I want to enter a name in a cell from a list of 70 names I have on another work sheet. By just typing the first few letters of the name into the cell I need it to complete the entry.

I have a worksheet named, "Database2". There are hundreds of names in colum B starting in row 3 of this worksheet.
In the same Workbook is a worksheet named, "Records". I want to create a userform with a combo box, an "Enter" and "Cancel" command button. When typing begins in the combo box I need it to recognize the name from the "Database2" list in colum B and executes auto complete. When the "Enter" button is clicked I need it to enter the name in the first available row in colum B starting in row 3 in the Worksheet named "Records".
I have the following formula in a cell C6 : "='Data Dump'!G20". I want the adjacent cell on the right (C7) to be "='Data Dump'!G21" and C8 to be "='Data Dump'!G22" and on and on. I'm trying to use the Auto complete handle on the bottom right hand corner of the cell (which looks like a + when the cursor is over it) to drag the formula so that the "Data Dump - G" values increase as I go (g21, g22, g23 and onwards). However, rather than the numerical part of the cell incrementing, the character (letter) does so instead, so I get H20, I20, J20 and onwards.

I rebooted to restore memory and ever since then my Context sensitive auto complete on VB statements, subroutines and functions has vanished and I can't figure out how to get it back.
How to restore this as I have some seriously complicated routines that are MUCH slower to code if I don't have this option.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have developed a spreadsheet that allows a user to "Autocomplete" a name by doubleclicking on a cell and typing in a few letters of the person's name.
I named the range that I want to appear in my list and I created the combobox in sheet 1, not in a userform. My problem is that when I doubleclick on a blue cell in Sheet 1 and type in a few letters of the person's name, the name doesn't fill into the cell. I have already specified a ListFillRange, so the Combobox knows what I am looking for. For some reason, the drop-down list is hard coded and won't populate the name that the combobox has already found. I don't receive any errors from the code that is already in place. If you could help me figure you how to get the names to populate in the blue cells, I would greatly appreciate it.
Attached is an example. If you try doubleclicking and typing in, say "Doe, John" in one of the blue cells in Sheet 1, you will see his name, but when you hit enter it won't populate. The cell stays blank!
I have created a list in a Microsoft Excel Workbook (names and corresponding numbers) and named the list.
Then, I created a drop-down menu through Data/Validate/List that included the names.
I can look the names up in the drop-down box, but I would like to be able to type a few letters and Excel auto complete the rest of the name. For instance I would type Ja...and James Doe would come up with the mes Doe in black (highlighted).
Is there a way to do this in Excel?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a large list of data records, 600+, and would like to use List Validation but find EXCEL's default Validation not appropriate for such long lists. What would be perfect is similar to what you get in Access, when you type in part of the record string required, a drop-down list appears and shows you the record entries that have that string within them and not necessarily in character order, quickly wittling down to the few records that apply and then use your arrow keys to move and select the correct record, etc. Example, I own a salon, and many shampoo ranges have many similar products:
Superstar
Superstar Blow Dry Lotion
Superstar Leave In Conditioner
Superstar Shampoo
Superstar Conditioner...........
This should be really easy, but for some reason I can't figure out how to make this work. I'm managing a resteraunt, and build my schedule by department using a drop down menu to insert my employee.

It works well, but see the web example before using it. You have to name a range MyList with your potential values for it to work.
Currently, you have to click the drop-down arrows to see the potential entries. I want to make it so that after the user enters the first 3 characters it will automatically "drop-down" and show the potential entries. This will save a trip to the mouse and let the user see whether their entry is in the system.
Option Explicit
Dim i As Long
Sub KeyEventOn()
For i = 65 To 90
Application.OnKey "{" & i & "}", "'MyValidation """ & i & """'"
Next

View 2 Replies View RelatedStarting to struggle a bit here. Trying to create a user form, with help from this website I was able to create 2 dropdown lists based on data validation and information from another sheet in the same workbook. I have one cell B7 that uses data validation and sheet "Eq List" to create a drop down list of departments that the user can select from. Once B7 is filled in, it creates the 2nd dropdown list in B9 so the user can pick "Equip Desc".
Where I am trying to fill B11 which should automatically give me back the Mach ID that is related to B7 & B9. Am I going about this the right way? I have ttached a sample file to make it easier to understand.
I have data validation in a cell that says only options from a list are allowed. i.e. =indirect(A1)
If this refers to a list where there is only 1 option available is there a way to display that value automatically without the user having to click the dropdown to select it?
My Excel 2007 has "auto complete with a drop down list". When I type in the first character, a drop down list appears listing all the entries in that column tha start with that character. I click on one of the entries and the cell is "auto completed" with that entry. Sure is handy. I try to find that functionally in Excell at work, Office Professional 2010, and no bueno for kaki.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do you drag down a column to auto complete the values but do it so it only changes one variable.For example, I am dragging down =IF(ROW()<=$B$5,MOD(E2*B1,B2),"") down my column.
However, I only want the "E2" value to change, and I want B1 and B2 to stay that way. Whenever I drag down, it keeps changing all three values. Is there a way to make it just so that the E2 value is the only one that changes?
is there any way to remove/deactivate the cell's auto complete year function?
eg: input the value "03-jan" and the cell will automatically convert the value of the cell to 03/01/2008
I am working on a spreadsheet and using a validation list which is working fine. However i know want to have multiple validation lists that change depending on what you choose from the first one.

When I run the macro, some columns are already hidden. The macro doesn't seem to autosize cells correctly. For instance, one cell in a row appears to have some contents hidden (or below the reading area of the cell). In other instances, the rows are auto-size to huge heights and widths.
Making a mission tracker that requires less upkeep than my units previous methods. I am using Excel 2007 and have some things in mind that I would like it to do.
On the down side, I have only basic experience with excel and have never used macros or VBA.
Even if what I am after could be solved with functions (which I prefer), I simply do not quite know how to make what I want without assistance. Ok, now on to the description.
The mission tracker aside from showing a list of the missions we have done during our program, it needs to also generate metrics automatically. In my worksheet, I am using columns A-G and rows 1-501.
The mission scheduling type in Column E are listed below. The letters on the left are what I am using in the sheet, the part to the right is what it really means:
Column D has the day of the week listed as: Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun.
now the metrics I need to be generated are the number of different types of each mission compared, how many of each type of mission was flown per day of the week, how many of each type of mission was flown per month.
Basically what I need is a way to automatically count the number of rows that meet a specific criteria throughout the range. This would require being able to check the value/text of multiple cells at a time and count the number of rows that meet that criteria.
[SOLVED] 1. The first part would be to have the worksheet be able to count the number of each type of the 9 mission scheduling codes throughout the range. I would be storing the count in new cells that would then be connected to pie charts.
[SOLVED] 2. The second part would be to count the number of each type of mission that was flown per day of the week. That would require searching both mission type and day of the week. All I would need is a working formula for 1 set, then I could switch mission codes and weekdays to match all the 63 possible outcomes.
3. Knowing the number of each type of mission flown per month. This would be checking the date and the mission type. The trickier part that comes up in my mind is that our programs span multiple calendar years, so it would have to track it by month and year, that way there is a difference between Jan 2009 and Jan 2010. The counted numbers would be used to make histograms. It would be nice if the chart titles could be automatic based on the dates inputed in the mission tracker. If I needed to choose a maximum time length for it to cover, I would pick 3 years.
4. I would like to figure out how to make an inputted line of data on the main tracker sheet to create a copy in the corresponding worksheets based on schedule type, that way a person could look at/print a specific type without having to sort the main list.
The actual goal is to make it where a person can enter the 1 line of data per mission (cells A-G) and the mission metrics update automatically after each mission is inputed allowing upper level supervision to have current information quickly whenever it is needed. Currently we need about a weeks lead time to get the information asked for on our current progress.
how to make all cells displaying an item from the list source update with new information added to list source.
Example:
Cell "A1" on worksheet 2 displays the 3rd slot of information from list source on worsheet 5. I want cell "A1" on worksheet 2 to update when the list source information in the 3rd slot on worksheet 5 is changed.
Notes:
The list is set up by naming the columns on Worksheet 5 and is set as a validation list on the other worksheets. So on Worksheet 2 column "A" has the validation
