Auto Update Validation List
Jul 21, 2008
i have a list called "parts". i want this list to be updated everytime a new part # is entered into the list cell. i can get it to work in one cell. i have been able to get it to work in up to 6 rows, however i want it to work in up to 50 rows. here is the vba code i am using
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim lReply As Long
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Address >= "$D$3" Then
If IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("parts"), Target) = 0 Then
lReply = MsgBox("Add " & Target & " to list", vbYesNo + vbQuestion)
If lReply = vbYes Then
Range("parts").Cells(Range("parts").Rows.Count + 1, 1) = Target
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
i am using insert>name>define for the list and this is what i used for that
=OFFSET(lists!$A$1,0,0,COUNtA(lists!$A:$A),1)
like i said, it will work for d1-d6, then it stops working.

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
VB:
AutoLinked keywords will cause extra spaces before keywords. Extra spacing is NOT transferred when copy/pasting, but IS if the keyword uses "quotes".
List=(Coulumn A 's name on worksheet 5)

I've created multiple ranges in a sheet named ' Schedules' that all use one Data Validation list. The list source is a Named Ranges called 'AbbNames', which points to a column ($S) on another sheet named 'Students'.
AbbNames is simply a list of student names--that are values; AbbNames does not contain a formula. However, AbbNames was created with VB code in the Worksheet Change Event. The code is:
Dim rng As Range
Dim rng1 As Range
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
Set rng = Target.Dependents
On Error Goto 0
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
Set rng1 = Union(rng, Target)
Else
Set rng1 = Target
End If
On Error Goto errHandler
If Not Application.Intersect(rng1, _
Application.Range("Abbreviated")) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Range("AbbNames").Value = _
Application.Range("Abbreviated").Value
End If
errHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
If Err.Number <> 0 Then _
MsgBox "Error occured " & Err.Number & vbNewLine & _
Err.Description
Note that students' names were originally concatenated in a column named 'Abbreviated' located in column G.
(this code creates the 'AbbNames' data in column S and updates the data if data is changed in 'Abbreviated'--if data is originally changed in columns A and B, which are firstname and lastname)
To make a long story shorter, I needed a column of concatenated names that were values--not calculated--to base the listboxes off of in the Schedules sheet. Validation list boxes can't be based off of calculated columns, right??
However, the listboxes do NOT work. When a user clicks on the drop-down arrow, Excel pauses for about 20 seconds (the initial time) and then shows nothing in the list except a blank field. When the blank list is clicked, the top name from 'AbbNames' is entered. However, no names can be seen or selected in the list box.

I have a drop down list in a column where i want the user to select one of the options which is an action to be taken. The actions would be dependant on the what the persons performance rating was, so for example, if the person has Exceeded their performance targets, the only 2 applicable actions would be High Potential and Emerging Talent. Please see attached file for the actions related to the peformance rating.
I want the validation list of actions to change accordingly depnding on what the persons performance rating is. So in the example attached, i want to look up the rating in column A and have the options appear according in the same row in column B.

In sheet 1, there are two columns, Category and Subgroup. The cell validation for Category is pulled from the category list on sheet 2. Basically, what I want to happen is depending on what is selected as the category, only the related sub-groups would be populated in the sub-group validation dropdown list. In other words, if Fruit is selected as the category, I only want Apple, Orange, Pear, Banana, etc to be in the validation drop down list for the sub group. If vegetable, then only Corn, Green Bean, Cucumber, and Peas should be shown.
I've included two options for the relationship list as I'm not tied to either style and not sure which would be easier to work with.

On Sheet2, data validation is applied to cells D21:D70 to limit data to values to a list, which is a named range on another worksheet. There are ranges on two other worksheets with the same data validation rule. The range for the list is ‘Sheet1’!D12:D26 (which is named “Processes”).
On Sheet1, the user enters a list of their processes. Then on Sheet2 (and the other sheets where the data validation is applied), they select one of the processes from the list. This all works fine until they go back to Sheet1 and modify one of the previously entered values.
For example, "Brush Teeth" is entered as one of the processes on Sheet1. It is then selected on Sheet2. Then, the user goes back to Sheet1 and changes the value to "Brush Hair." When you return to Sheet2, the value is still "Brush Teeth." It can be manually be changed by selecting “Brush Hair” from the drop-down list (“Brush Teeth” is no longer available), but it doesn’t automatically update.
Data validation was applied to a single cell (A3) and the list was on the same worksheet (B1:B3).
Option Explicit
Private oldValue As String
Private Const DVCell As String = "A1"
Private Const dataList As String = "B1:B10"
[Code]...
'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be 'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard 'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select 'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
On Sheet2 (I assume I need to add this code to every applicable sheet), I tried editing the first part of the code as follows (changes in bold), but when I click on any cell on Sheet2 that has the data validation rule applied, VB returns the error “Run-time error ‘1004’: Method ‘Range” of object ‘_Worksheet’ failed.” If I go into the debugger, the second instance of “If Not Intersect(Target, Range(dataList)) Is Nothing Then” is highlighted.

I have a sheet that creates a list of columns that may need to be updated or edited as necessary. Column A is a list of names that are alphabetized automaticaly from column D, so any change in column D would need to be reflected in column A. The attached sheet will (I hope) make things clearer.

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?

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)?

In the following extract, I would like to have today's date placed into Col K when an entry is made into Col J.
Entry into Col J is from a validation list of 3 options. What I desire is that when one of these options is selected ("Complete"), then I would like today's date to be written into Col K.
Currently Col K has a validation list which comprises dates from 1st of each month from July to June.
I need a fixed date as text preferably, so was thinking the VBA function "Date" on a Change Workbook Sub.
The information is currently part of a Table in Excel 2007 that has about 500 records.

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.

updating validation selections. I have attached an example of a bigger worksheet I use.
Sheet data: this sheet contains the raw- date. Data will be added and changed continiously.
Sheet pivottable: this sheet is used to sort the drowdown list and filter out double entries. A Dynamic named range is set to the pivottable
Sheet form: in this we will choose a code by a dropdown list and the column data 4 is filled by a vlookup formula.
If the data is changed in the sheet data and weve refreshed the pivottable, the code on sheet form contains previous data, so the vlookup formula cant find the data (resulting in n#a depending on using a ISERROR formula)
The following solutions Ive already tried:
- A userform with a lisbox/combobox in combination with listindex and an index formula. The problem is that when I sort the pivottable the index and data do not match.
- I also used the information in this thread but this didnt work.
Maybe I have to change the construction of my worksheet, but it is important that it works.

I have been tasked with coming up with a solution to an excel issue my boss has. I'll try to explain it as simply as I can but it might get confusing.
We have workbooks containing ledgers for a retail establisment. We create a new book for each year. Each book contains a sheet per month. We also have a comparison book/sheet. Currently we have the rolling total for each line item transfer over to the comparison sheet and then manually workout and enter the data for the same day from the previous year. What we would like to do is have the data from 2008 automatically update as we update the 2009 data.

Auto Updating the Comments in Column "M" based on the Values.
I had a TAT Report where there Two different Types i.e., OBI & OBC in Column "D".
In Column "L" i had a overall Production TAT (TAT - Turn Around Time).
Now i need to Auto update the Column "M" using below Criteria's.
1. Type : OBI
If the Production TAT is less than or equal to 3 hours then i need Auto Comment as "Completed"
If the Production TAT is Greater than 3 hours then i need Auto Comment as "Exceeded due to Neglegency"
2. Type : OBC
If the Production TAT is less than or equal to 10 hours then i need Auto Comment as "Completed"
If the Production TAT is Greater than 10 hours then i need Auto Comment as "Exceeded due to Neglegency"

i have a workbook that pulls data from 7 other workbooks based off of 3 criteria. In 6 of the 7 workbooks there are 6 sheets and in the last sheet there are 15sheet. All the sheets are used on different computers and currently the member who use these sheets cant remember to save them so the main workbook can pull the information. So I was hoping for a VB code to do the save for them after they enter any data in the range of A1:J50.
Then for the main work book i was hoping for a VB code to auto update after entering the 3 criteria. I have a marco made but it takes awhile to do it. First it saves the sheet, then pulls the information, then refreshes some pivot table, then populates into the proper cells.

I have a spreadsheet of 30 or so tabs, all of identical layout, with columns B to AS used. Each day I have to drag a row down to collect data from various other spreadsheets, on each of the 30 tabs (different data in each tab, but same format), i.e. today I dragged down B216:AS216 down to B217:AS217 for all 30 tabs. I could record a Macro on the first tab and then play it for the remaining 29, but I have to record the Macro each day so it drags down the next row down.
I am after a Macro that will drag down the columns to the current date (which is in column A and is already entered down to the end of the year) on all tabs, so if I left it for 5 days etc, and then ran the Macro, it will drag down 5 rows. But if I had to run it 5 times that wouldn't matter. A button on the first sheet would be brilliant too, meaning I could open it up, click the button, and then all 30 tabs would drag down to todays date.

I am in charge of a report spreadsheet which gets updated by my users multiple times a day. The spreadsheet is called the R-A-G report (red, amber, green). One of the columns has colours which are updated manually in accordance to the ammount of stock we have in the database (oracle column) and in our warehouse (utl column).
Right now the users update these colours manually, using a key at the bottom of the spreadsheet. My dream is to have these colours auto-updating when a macro is run.
I spent a little time and wrote a very basic macro, but there are a few problems with it. For one i do not think that the macro fills out of the possible variables; therefor it has around 50% accuracy.
I have uploaded the file and would really appreciate if i could get some feedback on how i could write this correctly, maybe some usefull websites specifically directed at elseif (if that is the correct code for me to use).

Ok this is tough to explain but I will try. I am using edate to find data that is older than 2 years old. I have a formula that works. =If(C2<EDATE(TODAY(),-24),B2,""). My issues is that it does not auto-update the data until I have manually changed the date. You can look at my sample. If you change the date or double clik on any "cert date" cell, then my data updates.

I already have various dependent validation lists established using the INDIRECT function.
Now I want to figure out how I can automatically change the selected values given the selected list. For example:
Cell D11 is a validation list with options: Boat/Car
Cell D15 is a validation list where if D11 = Boat the options are Catamaran/Sailboat/Tugboat. If D11=Car the options are Convertible/Sedan/Midsize.
The problem is that if D15 is preselected as Sailboat, for example, and you go back and change D11 to equal Car, cell D15 remains an option from the Boat validation list. I would like it to automatically update as the 1st item on the car validation list.

1. I have a list of several items in sheet 1. Lets say 30-40 rows.
2. I do a frequently update of this list.
3. In sheet 2 I want to have a copy of this list in row 1 from column A to Column x (depends on how long the list in sheet 1 is.)
4. When I change the list in sheet 1, could be in first, middle or last row- mayby several rows. The list in sheet 2 should be updated
5. The update of sheet 2 should insert a new column on the right place, according to the list in sheet 1.
