I'm currently trying to automate the process of creating Data Validation.
PFA.
I have Grades and Names List.
" GradesList " Range has values "One, Two, Three, Four "
I'm trying to map Names List to GradesList using INDIRECT().
Debug the function DataValidation() to understand the issue better.

lately I have promised to program a little macro which looked easy for me to do but on which I have now spend a considerable amount of time without finding the problem why it is not running. I am working under Windows XP with Excel 2010, here is what i was trying to do:
In a worksheet there are two columns G and H. In both columns it shall be possible to select a number of possible entries from a list. For column G this is done via data validation, no problem. Now, the choices which are there in column H shall depend on the entries made in the appropriate row of column G. Column G thus functions as an overarching category. If I choose "Tree" in G, H would give me branches, leaves, apples. If I choose "car" the choices would be wheel, engine, gasoline etc. This shall be done by a Macro:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim cat1 As Range
Dim cat2 As Range
Dim x As Integer
Set cat1 = Range("G:G") 'Task Group
Set cat2 = Range("H:H") 'Task Category
[code].....
When running, it gives me Run time error 1004: Method "Range" of object '_Worksheet' failed. Debug highlights the row
Code:
With Range(Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 8))

I have to enter patient's SSN's into my database. The fastest and most error free way to do this is simply copy the SSN from the electronic chart and paste into the appropriate cell in the database. I don't want duplicates. So, I need the database to alert me when I paste in a duplicate SSN. I know you can set data validation to do prohibit duplicates by using a formula. In the attached spreadsheet the SSN is in column B, so:

I have a cell that I want to use data validation on so I have a drop down list. Problem is the location of this list will be in another workbook.. Is this possible to go from one workbook to another using data validation?
Also, depending on the information that is selected from the drop down list I want a cell to the left to pick the corresponding data from the list in the other workbook. These forms will always be in the same folder.. Not sure if that information is necessary but just in case you need to know.

Excel spreadsheet will contain a form that will consist of drop down boxes (data validation). Each drop down box will define the data that can be selected in the next drop down box.
The way I initially went about it, is creating nested IF statements. However, we all know there is a limit of 7 nested IF statements. I have 10! So below formula does not work:
=if(B5=1,F5:I5, if(B5=2, F6:I6, if(B5=3, F7:H7, if(B5=4, F8:J8, if(B5=5, F9:H9, if(B5=6,F10:G10, if(B5=7,F11:H11, if(B5=8,F12:H12, if(B5=9, F13:I13, if(B5=10, F14:K14))))))))))
I tried other workarounds such as CONCATENATE, or & signs. No luck. VLOOKUP does not work also, because there are multiple columns in col_index_num. Anything else I try gives me this message:
“The List Source must be a delimited list, or a reference to a single row or column”
What should really happen is this:
User selects value in first list box. Second list box shows values associated wih the value from the first drop down only.

I have this formula =COUNTA($A:$A)<=4 that limits amount of cells that can be populated in column A, I use data validation with "Allow costume" option and using that formula. It works fine from worksheet it displays the message when the limit is reached but it doesn't work when data is inputed/populated from userfrom, it allows userform to put more entries than set limit 4 in this case.

Using Excel 2010, I set up a simple workbook with a spreadsheet on one page and the ranges for data validation on another. I successfully linked the fields in the "Category" and "Tender" columns with the data on the second sheet, making nice drop down menus. Everything works fine on my computer. However, when we open the workbook on a different station, the drop down menus disappear. If you highlight any of the "Category" or "Tender" fields, the little drop down prompt is missing; they behave like regular, un-formatted fields. It appears that the data validation became un-linked.
We tried opening versions with certain fields locked (Mainly the Total, Breakdown, and Summary areas, but the fields with data validation were still editable), and also completely unlocked documents. Every time, the drop down lists were lost when opened on different stations.
I've attached the completely unlocked version : 00_FLEX TRAVEL EXPENSE REPORT_v3.xlsx‎
Forget to check a box or something? This seems way harder for me to figure out that it should be!

I found a template at microsoftofficeonline.com it's just a bracket. I feel it has some underlying functionality, as they have a template in visio as well, but I can't figure it out.
So, what I'd like to do is have a workbook with say 100 worksheets. Each worksheet will have a person's bracket. Each person will write in all their picks. Their will be a master bracket where the actual winners will go, as the results are posted. When the master bracket is updated, Excel will flip through each worksheet, checking to see if the win in the master bracket matches the individual bracket. Points will be awarded or not.
Can that be done? I've also done a google search and can't get anymore help. I know that the web has multitudes of free versions, which I'd use, the only problem is that people would hesitate to register. doing it in excel, on the office system, there's no need to register, your cpu login takes care of authentication.

I'm trying to make alot of graphs(400) and I'm not really sure where to start but here with what I've got so far.
Sub macro2()
Dim x As Long, t As Long, y As Long, z As Long
y = 3
z = 5
x = 4
While x < 1000
With Worksheets("cabernet (2)")
t = Cells(x, 1).Value
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("cabernet (2)").Range("By:Hz"), PlotBy:=xlRows
ActiveChart.Location where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Cabernet (2)"
ActiveWindow.Visible = False
ActiveChart.HasTitle = True
ActiveChart.charttitle.Text = " " & t
Windows("complete Favorite Genes.xls").Activate
y = y + 3
z = z + 3
x = x + 4
End With
Wend
End Sub
I don't really know if putting a variable directly into a range works, so far it doesn't.
As you can tell I need a line graph of the range B3:H5, then the next is the those same columns but 3 rows down, so the next graph is at B6:H8. I'd also like to through in a title here, but I may just be playing with fire. The title is located in column A starting at 4 and corrosponds with each graph, so it too goes is increments of 3, i.e., the first title is at 4 the second at 7 the third at 10. Somebody help me out this isn't working very well at all.

I have a very peculiar problem. Each month I have a set of financial products for which I calculate the IRR values using XIRR, as the cash flows are uneven. Imagine this, Product names in ColumnA, the cashflow dates in B, and the cash flows with transaction types in ColumnC and finall D has amounts in negetive and positive. Each month I add new cashflows for each product as rows.
Manually I scroll down to select the range for XIRR (both date and amount)
Offlate this work has gone really high in terms of values, and manually cacluating XIRR takes hell lot of time for all the products (currently 80 odd)

i need to work out a formula for my spreadsheet which I use to work out cutting lists for timber frames. I need it to work out if the width of a job is for eg 2400mm i need to work out how many timber studs I need so the space between each stud is between 400mm and 500mm and this will need to work for a range of different sizes of frames. I have it written at the moment and it just devides the width by 400 and gives me a amount of studs but it would work much better if it could space them between 400 & 500.

I am trying to do is have the code display an input box asking the user to type in the file name, or generate this automatically? to an existing folder in a drive
My master file, imports data from another source (excel file) pastes it in the necessary columns at the moment, however the file is run every Monday so the file name is generic, last week was 10723, this week will become 10724 when the data is run next week,
Can I do what I want to? Via either an inputbox for the file name, or by using something so the file name becomes “107 “ & Weeknum(today()-3)

I have 1 spreadsheet in which I need to calculate the % weight of some numbers. Columns A to G have data I do not need for the calculation.
Column H has the numbers of whose % weight I need to calculate. The problem is that the no. of rows containing the numbers can change from week to week and I am trying to automate the calculation of the % weights.
So I want try to use column G (as a reference) (like go at the bottom of it so I can know how many rows of numbers there are) and then calculate the % weights.

My spreadsheet is linked to a stock data web page using the little documented .iqy function. I have set cell A1 to the web page ticker symbol, so that whenever this cell value is changed the data in the spreadsheet is automatically updated.
My problem is in several parts:
1. Read TickerSymbol.csv file which is comprised of just ticker symbols,
2. Insert (TickerSymbol.csv) symbol 1 into cell A1,
3. Save the results to a file c:XXXSymbol1.csv,
4. Insert (TickerSymbol.csv) symbol 2,
5. repeat, repeat

I've been experimenting with automating saving tabs that we use for billing into a .prn file. It works great on my workstation but when I run it on a coworkers workstation the file gets output to the Windows 7 Documents Library, not the workbook's file path. I want it to Save in the same file path that the workbook is saved in already.
Just to clarify I have many sheet tabs, and these are all saved in the .xlsx file. I was previously clicking one by one and doing save as, other file type, prn... but I've automated that by recording a macro and hacking away at it. specifying the workbooks file path correctly? Here's my code, truncated to just show the name of 2 of the tabs:
VB:
Sub EXPORT_ALL()
'
' EXPORT_ALL Macro
' This Macro saves the sheet then exports all tabs as a PRN.

How to automate outlook 2010 calendar and email integration.
I would like to create a button that sends out calendar invites to a large number of recipients with different specific meeting details (date determined by spreadsheet and other details standard). I'd expect that this would populate a specific shared calendar (not my personal calendar) for managing these appointments. It would be good to avoid duplicate correspondence (e.g. via drop-down list or checkbox).
I've created buttons testing a few codes provided in forums, but have not been able to make these work correctly.
Attached is a simple excerpt of the spreadsheet I'm seeking to automate.
