View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that has two worksheets. One worksheet is an input worksheet. A user will select a date from a drop-down list and type in the events that occurred on that date in 8 adjacent cells. The user selects a button that advances date and clears form. On sheet 2, whatever was typed into sheet one is saved via VLOOKUP formula. However, if I try to change something retroactively and select a previous date from the drop-down list, it clears everything in sheet 2 that was typed for any selected day.

I have a dynamic drop down list using OFFSET and want to change a selection of cell colors based on the drop down selection. My drop down list is located in cell G4 and the cells I want to change are
=$C$9,$C$10,$C$11,$B$11,$B$12,$C$12,$B$13,$C$13,$C$14,$C$15,$H$15,$H$14,$H$13.
These are random cells. There is no value in the cells, I just want to change the color from green to gray.
[URL]....When I select a name in column B, it populates column C's dropdown with that name's list of units. When I select a unity type in column C, I'd like it to automatically populate column E in the same row with the value associated with that unit. The values associated with a particular unit can be found to the right of the sheet. So if in row 2 I select Blake in column B, then Unit 5 in column C, I'd like column E to be populated with 14.
Edit: using Excel 2007.
I attached stripped down version of the sheet which is small enough to post. None of the things I removed should affect the topic at hand. The full sheet is available at rapidshare.
I've created seven names in my data validation source list on Sheet 3 in the following range of cells, A2-A7. My data drop down validation list is located on Sheet 1, A2 in the same workbook. I would like to trigger a macro based on the name I select in this drop validation drop down list that will fill out an address, telephone number, and email address in the following cells next to my data validation drop down list on Sheet 1: B2, B3, and B4. I want it to be designed so that users will select a name and have that person's corresponding address, telephone number, and email address fill right next to their name on the same sheet.

I am using Excel 2003, and I know how to do this in Access, but I can't figure it out in Excel. Basically, I have a list of themes in one drop down. The user picks a theme, and goes to a second drop down which is a list of sub-themes attributable to that one theme and no other theme.

I have a spreadsheet where user can search for information inside a search box and the appropriate rows are returned using formulas.
I have a drop down list (Category: Model) in the search box as well as a search field (Category: Program, cell D2). Underneath the search box, search rows are returned with column categories: Program, Model, etc.
What I require is that if a user enters the specific program into the search field D2, then the dropdown list would automatically choose which model that program belongs to based on the returned row.
For example, if I typed "engine" into D2 and pressed enter,
Under the records section (Row 14 and beyond), the following record will pop up:
Program
Model
Indicators
Engine
F-16
3a
Based on the record, F-16 would be chosen from the dropdown list. Is there any way this can be done?
If a user selects certain options from a drop down list created by cell verification (from list), is it possible to display an input box and have the resulting input populate on another worksheet in the workbook? I have an attendance template I'm working with and if a user selects OT (Over Time) then a input box is displayed prompting for how many hours. The overtime is then tracked on another worksheet.

Some products are not available in certain countries and each market doesn't care to see the other market info. (There are hundreds of items and dozens of countries.)
How can I create a drop down selector so that a user can choose their market, i.e. "Australia," and only the rows and columns relevant to them appear?
Can this be done without macros,? This sheet is distributed among 100+ people and needs to work for lowest common denominator.
I am trying to make a spreadsheet where I use a drop down menu for several of my vendors. When I select the Vendor's name from the drop down menu (for example in A1), I would like A2 to display that vendor's phone number. But when I switch vendor name from drop down list in A1, A2 would need to reflect the new vendor's contact info.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create 2 drop-down lists (based on named ranges), where the contents of the second selection change based on the first selection. On one sheet, I have a list of equipment that is quite long, but is broken up by categories. I have named ranges for all the category names, and the equipment in each category. On the other sheet (user side) I made the first drop down the list of categories, and would like the 2nd drop down to be the pieces of equipment that correspond with the chosen category. I have tried using data validation and nesting IF formulas, but it only works for the first 4-5 categories, bc my formula is longer than the Source field allows in Data Validation. Any other way I can make this work? Can I use a macro for this? If so, how to write it as this would be my first macro

I successfully added a drop down list for a sales person to pick a supplier, let's say their selection populates cell E4. Once selected, the next cell over (F4) gives them another drop down list with the products made by that particular supplier. The next cell over (G4) is in a column titled "Unit Cost", how can I make the Unit Cost cell populate automatically when the product selection is made in F4?
NOTE: My "lists" are on Sheet 1 along with my working spreadsheet. I have a Suppliers List, Products List (for each supplier), and anticipate I will need a Price List for each Product List, right?

I have a cell in my spreadsheet that I use to control the size of a column. I formatted the cell as a number and added data validation to make sure the number is greater than zero. Then I realized that I need to also allow for the option of auto sizing the column as well. This would require a data validation list type with something like True and False for the choices.
What I want to be able to do is have it both ways. I want a drop down list in that cell with the options Auto Size or Custom. If Auto Size is selected the cell value gets set to that. If Custom is selected I then want to be able to type in a number.

Is there a way to setup a cell such that the value is either an item from the drop down list or, entered directly (depending on the list selection)?
I know I can do it with dependent lists but that would require two cells, one for the auto size mode (true/false) and the other for manual width value.
Is it possible to do a drop down list that allow user to select pre-defined selections but everytime when a selection is chosen, the list reduced?
Example,
I have can choose Apple, Orange, Durian and Mango.
The drop down can only select these 4 fruits.
So there are 4 cells in Column A1, A2, A3, A4.
A1 selects Mango and then A2 will only have 3 options to choose. So until the last cell, he can only choose the last fruit left.
A1, A2, A3, A4 are not selecting in descending order thus it could be A3 selecting first, then A2 and then A4.

I have created a User Form that has been tested and is working properly. Now my last step is to do the following:
I would like to Display the User Form (coded as CommRM) if in Column C (can be any cell as it is a large worksheet) someone selects "Retail News" from the drop down option.
The code that I have been able to create so far is below. The problem is that when I select Retail News from a drop down in Column C the user form does not appear.
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range (C14, C3333).Text = "Retail News" Then Call UserForm_Initialize
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Load CommRM
CommRM.Show

I am trying to create a sheet for identifying work hazards based on the job assigned. So what I have set up is a drop down list to select the job type. Once this job type is selected I want the pre written hazards to autopopulate in the hazard box. I would also like the required PPE to appear in the PPE box for the job selected.
I have 6 different choices in the drop down list. For each choice I have the hazards and PPE in a separate sheets in the worksheet.
Is there a way to get this information to autopopulate?

High Five = 10-21 day window
I am at a loss . I have attached a sample of the workbook for reference.
Sheet 1 has a table of prices. There are 7 columns labelled 2 thru 8 and two rows, labelled 1 and 2. Each combo has a separate price.
Sheet 2 has a weight specification (1 or 2 referring to the rows in sheet 1) and a drop down menu with options 2 thru 8.
When I choose a number from the drop down menu, let's say 5, I want to populate another cell with the value from sheet 1 of column 5 on row "whatever the weight spec is", let's say 2.
I'm wondering how I could display information based on the user input through dropdown selection. I know how to make a dropdown-list already.
Example: A1 has a dropdownlist with Apple and Banana in it. If I select banana then I want B1 to display "8" and if I select Banana I want B1 to display "4".
Changing the data based on a drop down selection. My drop down list is based on the months I need the data (percentages for each person) to change depending on which month is chosen. So If I select Jan, the percentage fills in for each person. I've attached an example.
