Automatically Select From Dropdown Based On Variables In 2 Other Cells
Jan 6, 2013
I have a sheet where I have a "Status" column in each row which could be "Waiting for Band", "Waiting for Organizer", or "Ready to Go!". These options are set as a data validation list. I have 2 cells later in each row where the response can only be "Yes" or "No". I want for the Status column to be set automatically based on the responses in the later two cells. So for example
where C3 and M3 are Yes, the status column in B3 should read "Ready to Go!"
where C3 is no but M3 is yes, the status column should read "Waiting for Organizer"
where C3 is no and M3 is no, the status column should read "Waiting for Band"
The above is actually an exhaustive list of all of the potential outcomes(!)
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?
I need to make a dropdown list (I know how to do that) and based on that selection, I need some cells below to automatically complete. How can I do that? Is it possible with or without VBA?
I 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.
In cell B4 I have data validation drop down list which refers to the range of values named Tarifalist. Tarifalist list has the following range of values: 01,1A-1F / DAC / 02 / OM / HM / 5A (Baja) / 5 (Baja) / 03
In cell B5 I have a data validation drop down list with =IF(OR($B$4="03",$B$4="OM",$B$4="HM"),Thirty,ThirtySixty) Where range Thirty has the value 30, and ThirtySixty has values 30 and 60
I would like in addition, a Macro which when either 03, HM, or OM is selected in cell B4, that it automatically sets the value to 30 in cell B5. The purpose is so that the input is foolproof, and no user can accidentally leave the value at 60. As of now, if the value has been left at 60, and 03, HM, or OM is selected in B4, B5 can stay at 60, which is not a valid input and must be manually changed.
I have two cells and both have a drop down list. I would like Excel to automatically select an item from the second drop-down list based on the manual selection of the first drop-down list. The second cell needs the have the dependent item appear in the second cell not just be available in the drop-down list.
For example, Cell A1 has a drop-down lsit of the names of fruits, vegetables and flowers (apples, bananas, carrots, carnations, corn, daisys, tomatoes, zuchinni). Cell B1 has another drop down with three items (fruits, vegetables & flowers) which needs to be dependent on the first list. Further, I would like cell B1 to automatically select the appropriate item.
For example, if "carrots" is selected in cell A1 then I would like "vegetables" to be selected and automatically appear in cell B1. If "carnations" is selected in cell A1 then I would like "flowers" to appear (not just be available in the drop down).
To sum up - need a drop down box - that when "flange" is selected - It opens a file automatically - no clicking etc. just when that option in the drop down box is chosen.
[Code] .....
But doesn't work, plus means I have to click on something.. etc
I have a Macro that already works great but now I need to look for another variable to sort it down even further. I think it can be done by setting up a "Case" but still not sure how to do that. It already looks through the range to find all the rows that return a value of "True". Now I need it sort those results so it only returns what has a specified value in Column "AJ". I am looking to do several choices (Listed Here). So the end result will be all the items that return "TRUE" In Column "AI" and are Items that return one of these values per Case "Starters, Appetizers, Soup, Salad, Entree, Dessert, Special" with then copy over in the exact format that is listed in the code below.
For example All the items that are selected with "TRUE" can be narrowed down to all of those that are "Salad" as well - Then copied over in the exact format that is listed in the code below.
What I am doing is breaking out all the different course of food and putting a Header in-between each (That is already built and working) - So I can select all the food from a master list and then put it in order on the "Catering BEO" Sheet with Headers in between
Code: Sub BEOA4() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim wsSource As Worksheet Dim wsDest As Worksheet Dim FoundX As Range Dim FirstFound As String Dim lastrow As Long
I have a form with a number of fields. There is a field at the top of the form for Part number. When I type in a part number I need the form to auto complete any fields that are linked (if i can link them). E.g., if the part number is 111 then based on info in another table the fields will be auto completed for me.
I want to be able to show only the dates whose months are selected in the drop down in cell A1. I've been able to do this with a Macro that I must run every time I change A1; however, I was wondering if there was a way to have the macro done automatically. I've been trying the Worksheet_Change options with little command. In addition to all of the If/Thens, I've also tried the If/ElseIfs as well:
VB: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = "$A$2" Then
If Target = "January" Then ActiveSheet.Range("$A$2:$C$14").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:= _ xlFilterAllDatesInPeriodJanuary, Operator:=xlFilterDynamic
How do i make a drop down list in a cell show Select One in the cell when the cells previous contence (Option selected from drop down list) have been deleted. E.g Cell E5:E400 must show Select One in the cell and when clicked on show drop down list I dont want a input message box or error box i can do that with validation
I have a sheet with a data in range A1:J9. I have a drop down list in each cell from A2:A100.
I'm trying to store all values in A1:J9 in an array using the property CurrentRegion.value like below
Code: Arr=Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value The issue is that is taking as current region the range A1:J100, even if I don't have selected any value in the drop down list from A10:A100.
Is there a way to force CurrentRegion to select only values from A1:J9 ignoring the blanks dropdown list values or a similar way to load an array with values in a contiguous range?
I'm trying to copy data from one sheet to another sheet automatically based on a number selected in a drop down control.
I have used OFFSET to pull some information successfully from a list. This is easy for me to do with single entries and a list and has worked well. I want to do similar but with a dataset not just single cells.
But, I can't seem to make OFFSET work to show a set of data easily.
Perhaps I will need VB code to do so? Or there is another control I'm not aware of? I've done very little with VB.
I'll attach a sample file to try to show better what I'm trying to do.
I have a workbook that contains part numbers and their components listed like below. There is always one empty row between the part number and the components, and then 3 empty rows between the last component and the next part number.
The number of components varies from sometimes only 1 up to 25. Currently, I select a part number and its components like B1:C5 and then I have a macro that copies it to another workbook. What I would like to do is somehow get the macro to automatically select the next set down, in this case, B9:C14, so I could copy every set over to its proper place with only one click of the button.
I am kind of new to Excel programming and would like to know if there is a solution to my problem. What I need is to have a dropdown list (I know how to make this) then select an item from the drop down, then based on the name i select, Excel automatically fill up the rest of the cells.
For example, from the drop down list I select the company name then Excel automatically type the address, phone number, Fax number and the contact name of the company for me in corresponding cells. Is there a way to do this?
In my worksheet, I know the last line of my report AND I know how many "reporting segments" (all equidistant and identical) there are in the report based on the last row using the below (which I tested in several reports in messages):
VB: Dim vListEnd As Variant Dim vTaskCount As Double vListEnd = ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Offset(Sheet1.Rows.Count - 1, 0).End(xlUp).Row vTaskCount = ((vListEnd - 5) / 22)
My "reporting segments" are ALWAYS 22 rows each and the first one always starts in row 5. Example: A document where the last row (containing an End of Report special character) is 247 would have 11 reporting segments.
Within each reporting segment, there are two different formulas needed.
For the first reporting segment located in rows A5 thru J27:
I need FORMULA1 in all cells of the range (D5:D15 dragged out to H5:H10(not 15) and D18) and FORMULA2 in cells (F20:F22,J20:J22).
Then I need to repeat that vTaskCount number of times (number of segments) and at intervals of 22 (segment repeater offset). Some reports may have 2 segments, some might have 50, but the structure is always identical.
My formulas are all pretty simple if it makes a difference (originally using FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[-1]+RC[-3]" --- but because I now know solid cell locations I suppose I don't need to make them relative, too.)
Column C and D are should be picked from a dropdown list (data is in named range on sheet 3).
The choices that have t become available in a dropdown list in column E (values also in named rnage on sheet 3) should be based on the combination of column C and D.
The choices that have t become available in a dropdown list in column H (values also in named rnage on sheet 3) should be based on the value of column C.
I'm not sure the way it is set up now (as far as it is setup) is the way to go.
I had posted a similar question on 10/27 but the thread has mysteriously diappeared. So, I am reposting my question. What I am trying to do is probably easily done using VBA. See attached workbook example.xls to follow along.
I have a dropdown (YES/NO) selection in Column C. I want to do the following when 'YES' is the selection for any row:
1) do a vlookup into the 'data' tab and return corresponding value in Column D 2) Lock the cell after the value is returned into Column D
If the selection is 'NO' then do nothing., ie., leave the cell blank and unlocked.
The file is attached here. I would like to be able to autopopulate cells based on a dropdown. The first tab has the final report and the other 2 tabs are the raw files.
I want to be able to pick a word from a drop down list and for related information to appear in the next cell. I just don't know the function to do it.
Here's an example: I have a list of first names and second names in adjacent columns. Excel question 1.jpg
In the 2nd sheet I have a drop down list of the first names:
Excel question 2.jpg
Is there a function to make the corresponding 2nd name appear in B1 when a first name is selected. I've seen examples where INDIRECT is used to create a dependent drop down list in B1 but I'd like the information to automatically appear.
I have a dropdown list (C1 on the dashboard sheet). When January is chosen in that list I want the value in D15 on the dashboard sheet to match the value in B13 on the Target sheet...and then the same for D16 on the dashboard sheet and B13 on the Actual Sheet. When February is chosen the values should match for the month and so on.
Essentially I want the drop down list selection to populate the right numbers based on the month chosen.
I am trying to create a spreadsheet which allows me to select an antibiotic from a drop-down menu (refer to cell D1) on Sheet 1.jpg, which would then color the cells below based on the color-coded coverage based on another sheet (refer to D2-D17 of Sheet 2.jpg).
I am trying to use a row of cells as update cells, where the user inputs an amount into greyed out cells, which in turn updates Sheet1!$I$2:$I$11, from which it will update other worksheets that are currently in progress. but I do not know how to go about it. Is it possible?
For each amount the user enters (for each Code Number) a date will be displayed below the amount.
Trying to create a dynamic costing spreadsheet, where the user has to make multiple selections from many dropdown lists, all of which end up showing a total cost.
So far I have managed to create relatively dynamic lists, so that the choice in one cell will dictate what options are available in the next.
But if a user selects an options form all the dropdowns, and then decides to go back and modify a previous option to something else, the effected dropdown lists do not change until you click on the drop down arrow again and see the options available have changed.
Let me try and simplify... 'Menu 1' has two option: 'A' and 'B'. If 'A' is chosen, then the next menu, 'Menu 2', will have options '1' and '2'. If 'B' is chosen from 'Menu 1', then the options in 'Menu 2' will be '3' and '4'. Lets say the user chose 'A' from 'Menu 1' and then '1' from 'Menu 2'... AND THEN went back and changed their choice in 'Menu 1' to 'B'.... 'Menu 2' will still be displaying '1', even though the options are only '3' and '4'.
Can I make the dependant menu's either reset or blank or highlight to show that a change made somewhere else has made them currently invalid
I have two sheets that I am using. sheet 2 has a list of experiments in column C with information regarding the experiment in columns F - J. On sheet 1 I have a dropdown box with a list of all the experiments. When I select an experiment from the dropdown box I would like to populate columns K - O on sheet 1 with the information from columns F - J for the selected experiment on sheet 2.
I have a list of Names that has numbers accumulated over months. I am looking for a formula to use in a search tool that uses a drop down list to identify the name I am looking for and then the formula will show me the increase that happened in certain months.
See the attachment the result is coming from Denominators tab, I want the answer displayed in the Display tab, you will see a drop down list at C3 in Display, I am trying to show the answer in cell D9-I9.
how many the denominator has increased in that month. so for D9 it will come from denominator tab column c minus b, E9 will be d minus c
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.
