I am trying to create an order form. i have a price list from my local hardware store that i want linked to my order form. i want my order form to autocomplete items off the price list. i have tried a few things but im stumped.
View 9 RepliesI need to create a large dynamic named range for all the people in my church. From this list I would like to enter their offerings to the church in a new column that has auto-complete. Ex. If I type a "P" all of the possible names are shown. Then if I type a "A" the list gets smaller with only a those members whose names start with "Pa"
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 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...........
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)?
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.

Also called the ReSuppply Kit
VBA Code that allows me to automatically open the page.
Dim IE As Object

Ideally, I'd like to click a button that says "Update Prices" and it will search WebFlis for the NIIN listed and update the price. I have 717 items on my list so updating would be by click only (I think I can write that portion).
If that is not an option, I'd like to be able to click on each item row (think hyperlink) and be able to see the results for that individual item.
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:

The analysis basically has 2 data components to it:
The 1st part, is a basic transaction list of shopping items bought through the year. Each transaction's shopping item also has the quantity of that item purchased at that time.
The 2nd part, is a pricing sheet for all the different types of shopping items. The pricing sheet has different prices for different quantities at which the item is purchased.
What I am trying to do is to find the relevant price for shopping item, which depends on not only what the item is, but also the quantity. In point form, it should follow the logic below:
1) Identify the item in the shopping list (worksheet 1) from the list of prices (worksheet 2)
2) Find quantity in the prices worksheet that is closest to the quantity in the shopping list (i.e. where the difference between the quantity on transaction list and the quantity on the pricing sheet is the least)
3) Pull the price for this "closest quantity"
I have uploaded a worksheet showing the structure of that data.

Is there some VB code I need to do this, or can it just be a few simple formulas?
I have a price table with about 70,000 line items (some lines are duplicates).
There are about 12 columns each with different qualities such as item name, size, thickness, price and etc.
I've been building this table in excel and just importing it into Access for the time being.
When a customer sends me an order, I'd like to be able to look up the items in my price table (matching across multiple columns) and automatically return the price for each item.
So far, I've been using the following formula....
=LOOKUP(2,1/($A$1:$A$60000=D1),$B$1:$B$60000)
With A5:A60000 = price list concatenate so all columns in 1
D1 = item I'm searching for
B1:B60000 = prices for items
The only thing is that this is very labor intensive.
The only thing is my customers will typically submit an order and it is NOT in the same format as I need it to be.
So it's very labor intensive and I spend hours just editing their order in a spreadsheet so that it follows the format I need it to.
I have an issue when I use the sumproduct formula, it only sum the quantity and price orderly which is not matched
I have attache the file for example : Sale monthly.xlsx
I have desinged an excel invoice, but I think I might want it to do the impossible.
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 do not want to use a drop down box it takes too long to find the name. I need a formula to do this for my spread sheet.

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'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 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had to crash Excel because it had got itself into a pickle - run out of memory or something anyway it was chasing itself up it's own backside.
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.
I want to use a drop down box to pick a name and then when that name is entered to automatically fill information such as email address, phone number, address into a spreadsheet similar to auto complete that are on many web sites when you purchase from them often.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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. I'd like to be able to automatically resort the data into a new worksheet organized by employee name. please see attachment.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI found this code for an auto-complete function from this website: [url]
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
End Sub
I would like to have excel automatically fill an excel cell with a predefined list. For example, if you put the letter l it will automatically include the word large. This is like you do when you fill out a form online. See attachment
View 2 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'm using Excel 2010 on a Windows 7 machine.
I have one sheet with a large list of dates and total prices.
I have a second sheet with a list of dates and unit prices.
I want to divide the total price in my first list by the unit price on my second list.
I want to somehow point Excel to the date in the first list, and then lookup the corresponding date in the second list to use the correct unit price.
My thoughts thus far have been along using VLOOKUP with WEEKNUM and YEAR but I've been unsuccessful.
I am wanting to create a list where I can select multiple items within that list and then print only those selected items. I have created something similar thru data validation, but I can't get it to print.
In addition, I would like to be able to subdivide the list into multiple categories, then select items from these multiple categories and print them.
Whats the best way to get a complete list of the properties of a given cell?
Possibly this is documented somewhere if it's always the same, or maybe it varies and there's some sort of collection you can iterate through.
I've been trying to create a form that contains a list with an auto-complete option.

I've tried it and it kinda works the way I'd like it to except:
1. Excel crashes if you press TAB or Enter after choose your selection.
2. You have to Double-Click on the Validation list tab to bring up the combo box.
If possible, it would be great if Excel didn't crash after pressing Enter or Tab
and if the combo box showed up immediately on selecting the validation list cell (or single click).
The VBA code is:
'==========================
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, _
Cancel As Boolean)
Dim str As String
Dim cboTemp As OLEObject
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Cancel = True
Set cboTemp = ws.OLEObjects("TempCombo")
On Error Resume Next
With cboTemp
how to attach the file here but the website I mentioned contains a sample excel.

To summarise I'm hoping to create a sheet that:
1. Let's you click on the cell and then type something which causes it to autocomplete.
2. After I've made my selection I can press Enter/Tab/Click somewhere and it confirms it.
3. The rest of the sheet gets populated by results of lookup functions that are dependent on the selections.
I have two worksheets. Both worksheets have two columns. Worksheet 1 column A looks like this:
1
4
7
8
Worksheet 1 column B looks like this:
x
x
x
x...................
What I'm looking for is a way to find that in worksheet 2 in column B a 'x' appears behind 1,4,7 and 8.
