Automatically Add To A Data Validation List

Jul 6, 2006

I've been using Dave Hawley's "Excel Data Validation List - Automatically Add to a Data Validation List" in my wb with great results, but now I am going to use a secondary wb to keep the Data Validation List and herein lies my problem. I lack the VBA skills to be able to modify the code and references so that when I input into the primary wb the data is updated in the secondary wb. The Primary wb is an xlt that I'm developing, each time a new xls is opened from the Primary.xlt, vba in the Primary.xls opens Secondary.xls. Secondary.xls has a named range "Names" which I wish to be able to update when data validation is performed in Primary.xls per the sample on this web site.

Automatically Add To A Data Validation List ..

Apr 16, 2007

I'm trying to implement the feature from this great Ozgrid 'how to', and it's working for the most part, but the VBA falls over here...


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim lReply As Long

If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Address = "$F$10" Then
If IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
If WorksheetFunction. CountIf(Range("Dept"), Target) = 0 Then
lReply = MsgBox("Add " & Target & " to list", vbYesNo + vbQuestion)
If lReply = vbYes Then
Range("Dept").Cells(Range("Dept").Rows.Count + 1, 1) = Target
End If
End If
End If
End Sub

Basically, I have a tab which contains 2 lists. One in Column A and one in Columb B. I want the corresponding dropdowns on a different sheet to allow entry of anything that's not on either of the lists.

I can get it to work if I place the lists on the same sheet as the main 'form', but I need to keep them on a seperate sheet (and as the 'how to' suggests the lists can be on any sheet, I thought it'd work 'out of the box').

Data Validation List - Automatically Update Cells Where Used

Apr 15, 2011

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'm trying to create a spreadsheet that has a data validation in it. I have a drop down list that has to options to select; Yes and no. Every time I create a new row to add more information I have to go through the process of creating a new data validation for for each cell in this coloumn.

Is there anyway of creating a way that every time I insert a new row, a data validation list box will appear in the coloumn that I want it in?

Allow User To Automatically Add Data To Data Validation List

Oct 27, 2009

I am trying to learn the concepts, then apply them to a set of actual worksheets. I am trying to use named ranges from one worksheet in another worksheet. The named ranges need to expand. Although I can get the add data to a dummy worksheet to work within the same worksheet and I can even get a named range to work in the foreign sheet.

My problem is, when I can end up adding the additional data to the named range, it will only add one name. I have a number of named ranges that are referenced on various worksheets. The idea is, certain named ranges should be able to expand so I donft have to type them all in. (There could be hundreds of manufacturers or models.) I would also like them to be able to sort themselves after additional names are added to the named ranges. I would also like them to auto populate as well. I am using Excel 2003 SP3 (11.8307.8221). I have enclosed the file. Drop down lists (named ranges) are on the worksheet called DROP DOWN LISTS (LOCKED) **ITfS NOT CURRENTLY LOCKED**.

The data validation issues are on the worksheet called Rev7.0 Wood (Basic Sheet.) There are other instances to use these, but I hope to learn to do them myself on the other worksheets. Of particular interest is Column f.................

Code That Automatically Run After Selecting Item In Data Validation Dropdown List In Column C

Oct 12, 2011

I have a dropdown list in C24:C50 (=CategoryList) with data validation and a sub list in D24:D50 (=ItemList) with data validation. I am looking for a way to have code automatically run after selecting an item in the data validation dropdown list in column C.

Example; I click on C24 and make a selection. I what it to trigger code that would move me to D24 and open up the data validation list in D24. After the selection in D24 I would like it to move me back and down 1 row to C25. I have not found anything directly related to this but I have found that code can be run after a selection in a valadition list.

Automatically Run Macro From Validation List

Aug 4, 2006

I want to do now is link the code below to a drop-down menu I have created on one of the sheets in the workbook. I created this list using data validation and declared this drop-down menu as MIndex and the values to choice from are 0,1,2.

Does anyone know how I can link this drop-down menu to the macro. So basically once the drop-down menu is activated run this macro.

Sub SumMonthlyVol()
Dim wSheet As Worksheet
For Each wSheet In Worksheets
Select Case UCase(Left(wSheet. Name, 2))
Case "AJ", "CJ", "PJ"

If (MIndex = 0) Then
wSheet.Range("L52") = "= SUM(R33C4:R50C12)"
Else
If (MIndex = 1) Then
wSheet.Range("L52") = "=SUM(R34C4:R50C12)" ......................

Automatically Complete Typing For Validation List

Mar 5, 2008

I've been trying to create a form that contains a list with an auto-complete option.

[url]

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.

[url]

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.

Data Validation Used To Create Separate Data Validation List

Feb 15, 2014

I have 2 columns First Name & Surname. What I want to do is create a data validation list on the surname which results in the 2nd data validation list only showing the first names which link to one of the surnames.

i.e. If I selected Smith in the 1st validation list then I would only like to see 'Paul' as an option in the 2nd list

First Name
Surname

Paul
Smith

Paul

Named List: Data Validation To Restrict The User To Only Selecting Values In A List

Jun 15, 2007

I'm trying to use data validation to restrict the user to only selecting values in a list which I create. Right now, the list is a named range. I'd like to get rid of the range and just use a named list. I create a name using the following as my list.

Insert > Name > Create
Name: Fruit

Refers to:
banana,apple,orange

When I try to use the name Fruit in my data validation, I get the message "The List Source must be a delimited list, or a reference to single row or column." I thought my name "fruit" was a delimited list.

Excel 2007 :: Data Validation List Depend On Another DV List

Apr 29, 2012

I have a List of Different Fruits in Cells A1 to A5

Apple
Banana
Orange
Strawberry
Cherry

And I use data validation list in 5 different cells from Cells C1 to C5 then in every cell the list will show all the fruits,

But I want that if I select Any Fruit in cell C1 that should not be included in the remaining 4 cells, and the fruits selected in Cells C1 and Cell C2 should not be included in the remaining 3 cells and so on....

I Used the formula

=IF(C1=A1,OFFSET(A2,,,COUNTA($A$2:$A$5),1),0)

But this works fine if I select Apple in the Cell C1, then the List of C2 Shows all Fruits other than Apple, But if in Cell C1 I select any fruit other than Apple it does not work... (Using Excel2007 & Win XP)

Update Data Validation Entry Automatically

Nov 19, 2009

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.

List Data Validation

Mar 18, 2009

The idea is to create a liquor order sheet which takes items and prices from a liquor inventory workbook, which is part of the same file. i'm sure that you can do it all fancy with a macro, but unfortunately i'm not super experienced with excel. so i helped myself with what i know a bit -> drop down lists. I created an extra sheet which has 4 ranges on there... the liquor type (liquor, beer, wine), and the 3 sub classes for each type (red/white/blush/sparkling for wine, draft/import for beer and so on and so forth). On the inventory i named the range of all white wines "white", of all red wines "red" ..

On my order sheet i created a drop down list for type and created 2 more via "indirect" .. so when you select "wine" in the first one, the 2nd one will ask you for white/red/blush/sparkling and the last drop down then for the exact item according to the range on the inventory.

Hope what i did so far is understandable ^.^

Now my problem is that i want the unit cost to be copied when an item is selected. So you select "beer" in A1, "import" in A2, "corona" in A3... and the price for corona (which is written in a cell on the inventory sheet) should show up in A4.

I attached a screen of the inventory sheet so that you can see how it is structured.

Data Validation - List Box

Sep 9, 2009

Hello, could some one please help me with the following:

I have created a drop-down list for the range : C3:C65000 using Excel 2003 and Windows XP Pro. I did this using Excel's Data Validation Tool. The settings I used are as follows:

Allow: List
Source: =GROUPS
Check Box Ignore Blank is Ticked
Check Box In-cell dropdown is Ticked

GROUPS = GROUPS!$A$2:$A$29

Now all this works well, such that when I click in the cell range : C3:C65000, then a dropdown list appears - showing a list of all my groups.

However, when I click on any of the dropdown lists in this range, the width of the dropdown list is only as wide as the column. Column C has a width of 20.

What I need please is for the dropdown list to be as wide as the list of information showing in the dropdown list. If some one could please explain on how I can achieve this - that would be great.

Too Much IF In Data Validation List Source

Apr 8, 2014

I try to find a solution (with or without macro) to assign different ranges named "Failure_C..." in a data validation source depending on the value of another data validation list (32 values called)

I started in the Data Validation List Source to fill in IF function but 32 inputs are not accepted and too much caracters in the source.

The formula is starting like that:

=IF(A57=$M$78,Failure_C01,IF(A57=$M$79,Failure_C02,IF(A57=$M$80,Failure_C03,
IF(A57=$M$81,Failure_C04,IF(A57=$M$82,Failure_C05,
IF(A57=$M$83,Failure_C06,IF(A57=$M$84,Failure_C07............

Data Validation And List With Formula?

Jun 29, 2014

I am trying to make a simple planning sheet.

I have a workbook with 2 sheets.

1.sheet contains Columns : DayDateTimeClassTeacherCovered

2. sheet contains the availability of teachers. so all columns start with a date and the rows contain the name.

A row therefore looks like this.

7/1
Harley

Lidia
Livia
Thais
Salete
Carla

My issue: The 1.sheet has a column Teacher, now in this column I want to have a drop down list. (E2, E3, E4, E5 ... etc..) This list is depended on the date which is in column B.

Essentially I want the list to look up date in its row go to the second sheet and give me all the possible names in it. That is all.
