Color Cell Dependent On Text Value
Aug 12, 2008Currently F37 has a vlookup code that gives me text values and what I am looking to do is to color code these values.

Formula Dependent On Text In Adjacent Column
Oct 7, 2009I have a datatable which has a column containing up to 25 different text codes (which are currency pairs). I need to insert a specific number (as seen in the attached example) in a second column. This number depends on the text in the first column. I suspect this is very simple but at the moment, not for me!

Sep 27, 2011I am relatively new to Excel. I have figured out how to use named ranges as lists and use INDIRECT Data Validation to have a list's selection made in one cell populate a new list in an adjacent cell.
A1 contains a list of "Characters" (The choices are "Numbers", "Letters", or "Other")
Based on the choice in A1, B1 has to populate with the following:
- A list of available Numbers to chose from (1,2,3..etc)
- A list of available Letters to chose from ( A,B,C...etc)
- Text that instructs the user to enter text into the cell manually
(For example, their "Other" character might be something like "@#$%^&*!". (Not unlike my mental state trying to figure out this problem.) I want them to see the instruction to "ENTER CHARACTERS HERE" and then be able to type in the cell.
So I need B1 to either populate with a menu that is dependent on the menu selection in A1, or allow for free text entry depending on if they chose the "other" option in A1.
Dependent Drop Down List With DEPENDENT DEFAULT VALUE
Jan 22, 2010Situation:
I have two drop down lists 1) Country and 2) States/province
Country has list: [US, Canada]
If "US" is selected, [Arizona ,Florida, NewYork] is listed in the 2nd drop down list
If "Canada" is selected, [Alberta, Ontario, Quebec] is listed in the 2nd drop down list
Scenario:
First, I select "US" and choose the states to "Florida"
Next I change the country to "Canada" and forgot to choose province
Then, the 2nd dropdown list is changed to [Alberta, Ontario, Quebec],
BUT the current value is still "Florida"
Probem:
Now I have "Canada" and "Florida" selected in the sheet
Question:
If the primary list is changed, can I make the 2nd drop down list to show a default value (e.g. blank or the first entry i.e. Alberta)?
IF Formula - Column To Show Text Value Dependent On Combination Of Three Columns
May 12, 2014I have three columns that each have a drop down of text options; column A has three options, column B has three options and column C has two options. I want to have a fourth column that will show a text value dependent on the combination of the three columns.
It ends up being 18 variations so my IF formula just won't compute.
This is basically the format I have and works for a few values then just chucks up an error when I extend it to all 18 variations:
IF(AND(A1="text",B1="text2",C1="text3"),"show this text",
IF(AND(B1="other",B1="other2",C1="other3"),"then show this", ) etc etc
Any way I can get this to work for all 18 possible outcomes??
Conditional Formatting To Change Colour Of Cells Dependent On Text Within Them
Sep 8, 2013How to colour cells depending on text in other cells, for example,
I would like cells D26:AA26 to turn light red if the letters 'FSM' are in cell 'E26' even if other text appears in it, eg 'SA+/FSM'
I have been playing about with conditional formatting but can seem to solve the mixed text issue?

Copy / Paste From Cell In One Sheet To A Cell In Another Dependent On Selection Of Dropdown Menu
May 31, 2012I have a workbook with two sheets. The idea behind the workbook is an Interview Guide to be used just before an Interview. For now my problem is this.
Sheet 2 "Competencies" is just data. It stores competencies with their associated definitions and questions.
Sheet 1 "Control Page" is the sheet where the questions will eventually go. The user (Interviewer) will input data on the first two pages which will include name of candidate, date of interview etc. but they will also select 5 Competencies from the already existing drop down menus on page two. From there as the selections are made I wish for a code to copy the corresponding definition on sheet 'Competencies" to cells lower down in sheet "Control page".
I don't see a place to upload a file as I have a sample of the sheet ready to go.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSetup Dependent Cell Based On Contents Of Independent Cell
Oct 20, 2013I'm trying to set up a dependent cell (B) based on what is in the independent cell (A)
If A is blank, B should be blank
If A has any value other than X, B should display a set string Y
If A contains X, B should contain a drop down list with a range of choices.
I've tried setting it up as a dependent validation cell and I've tried using OFFSET, but the best I can do is to get three different drop down lists to populate cell B. One with only string Y, one with only a blank, and one with the range of choices. The problem is in the first two cases above, I want the cell to fill automatically with either blank or string Y -- I don't want them to just be drop down options, with the cell displaying the last value that was input.
Cell-dependent Drop-down
Oct 12, 2009Say in A1 i have either Yes or No, in B1 i have a dropdown validation from a list if A1 is Yes and "n/a" if A1 is no.
I thought if i renamed my list validation to "Yes" and labelled "n/a" as "No", then using =INDIRECT(A1) as my list validation would do the trick.

Send Email Dependent On Cell
Nov 29, 2009I need an email to be sent to the last period teacher when a student earns less than 265 points. Some students go to a different class at the end of the day, so the teacher needs to be notified.
I have an if formula set up to create a yes statement: If(T26<265, "yes", ""). I need for an email to send when U26 is set to yes.
Actually I need an email to be sent anytime any cell in range (U5:U40) is yes, and I need it to be sent to the email address listed in the corresponding v column.
Multiply Dependent One Cell Formula
Aug 8, 2006All to occur in cell G2
Condition 1.
If F2 is > 0 then multiply F2 by D2.
Condition 2 in the same cell.
If the product of F2 multiplied by D2 is > E2 AND the sum of F2 and F1
multiplied by D2 is > 0, then add the product of D2 multiplied by the sum of
F1 and F2 to E2, otherwise input E2
Condition 3 in the same cell.
If the product of F2 multiplied D2 is < E2 BUT the sum of F2 and F1
multiplied by D2 is > 0, then input the product of D2 multiplied by the sum
of F1 and F2.
Condition 4 in the same cell.
If F2 < 0, and the sum of sum of F2 and F1 multiplied by D2 is < 0, then 0.
This is the best way I could think of the write out my intention. I think if
I can get the above scenario into a one cell formula that should resolve my
pain.

View 3 Replies View RelatedReset Value In Dependent Cell When Another Cell Is Updated
Aug 5, 20061. I created a "Top Category Data Dependent Validation List for sub-categories” in the attached spreadsheet. The selection from the Category drop-down list in column B, then drives or limits the choices in the Sub-category drop-down list in column C.
Credits: To achieve the above technique, I used the "Dependent List Validation" document as a technical reference.
the document is available from http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/dependent-lists.htm
2. If the user updates the Category selection in Column B, then the value in the corresponding row in Column C should be "reset to a ( NULL/Clear) value," as to automatically prevent any human-error in forgetting to also update the Sub-category data in Column C.
(Optional Reading--the following steps are not related to steps 1 & 2 above, just notes regarding other data validation process created in this spreadsheet
3. I also created another column (D) that gets automatically populated with the Category ID,
based on the sub-category drop-down list selection in C.
4. Also in this spreadsheet, a macro checks for any "missing required data
before allowing the end-user to save this worksheet. As an example, In Column A, if there is a "RecordId" that exists in the same row, then the macro checks if the user has entered required values in Column B, C, "AND/OR" D. If the end-user did not enter any of the required values,
then an error message pops-up with this message:
"Cannot Save this file due to Missing Required Data. Please review highlighted record and complete missing data."

Locking Cell Dependent On Data Entered
Oct 18, 2009I'm working in MS Office Excel 2003. I have a spreadsheet with numerous drop down boxes and references to named ranges. Here's my current quandary:
In cell I12, I have a drop down box with listed choices A, B, C and D. In cells I15, I18, I21 and I24, I also have drop downs.
What I'm trying to do is when choice D is picked from I12 it locks cells I15, I18, I21 and I24 so that the choices in the drop down cannot be picked. Also, a popup message is displayed.
I was able to receive help in getting this pretty much taken care of. But the problem I'm having with the code is that the popup message is also being displayed whenever I make a choice from other drop down boxes. So if I choose option D from I12, it locks the other 4 cells and displays the message just fine, but then if I choose anything else from say K12 or L21 then the message continues to come up. Here's what I have...
Data Validation Dependent On Another Cell Being Completed?
Jan 27, 2014I've got a password protected spreadsheet with only certain cells unlocked to allow users to complete them. I need the following to work on Excel versions 2003, 2007 & 2010.
Cell E3 has a drop down list with types of car to choose from. One of the car types is "Pool_Car".
Cell D12 should only be used if "Pool_Car" is selected from the drop down list. If any other car type is selected, and the user tries to enter a figure in D12, I need an error message to appear.
E3 & D12 are unlocked cells.
I'm happy for D12 to become locked & only allow it to be unlocked if "pool_car" is selected, but I've looked elsewhere, but can't find VBA or data validation to work.
VBA Code To Renames Tabs Dependent On Cell Name
Mar 27, 2008Can anyone please help me with some code to rename tabs to match a value in a cell.
When I receive the spreadsheet it is in the standard Sheet1, Sheet2 and so on.
Now in cell E2 there is a Budget Cost code. Now I have to manually rename the tabs to match this code and it is quite time consuming.
Also Sheet1 is different as it has a logo in cell E2 so the budget code on that sheet is in E3 but like I said earlier Sheet2, Sheet3 and so on the budget code is in E2.
Can anyone post a little macro that will rename all the tabs on the worksheet to match the budget code in the above mentioned cells.
Sending Automatic Email Dependent Upon Value In A Cell
Mar 22, 2012I have a spreadsheet set up to track questions coming into a mailbox, some of which we have to refer on to other areas. What I am wanting is for an email to be sent back to the mailbox (same email address each time) when the query has been referred to another area for 14 days (chaser) and 28 days (urgent chaser).
Details
Column B = Name of person query belongs to
Column J = Query text
Column L = this should be checked to see if it = "Referred" to indicate that the query is referred to another area
Column N = Name of the area/person the query is referred to
Column AE = holds the number of days that the query has been referred for
What i would ideally like is that when AE reaches 14 an email is sent in the following format
Subject: Name of person: Query outstanding for 14 days Body: You have a query outstanding with "Column N" as follows "Column J in bold text".
And then once it reaches 28 days
Subject: Name of person: Query outstanding for 28 days Body: You have a query outstanding with "Column N" as follows "Column J in bold text".
How To Make Tab Names Dependent On Cell Values

Is this possible so that I can add cells (between B1 and C1) at a later date and have all the tab names change depending on the values I put in the cells?
Locking Cell Dependent On Data Entered..
Oct 10, 2009In cell D10, there is a drop down menu with choices A, B, C and D. Cells D13, 16, 19 and 22 also have a drop down menu. What I would like the code to do, is when option D is chosen from D10's menu, cells D13, 16, 19 and 22 are locked so that the user cannot choose an option from any of those cells.
So basically, if D10="OptionD" then [whatever the value is to lock cells D13, 16, 19 and 22 from drop down use)
If possible, I'd like this as an IF function, and not a VBA macro. I'm not completely familiar with all of the IF functions...um...functionalities, so forgive me if I ask the impossible. But if the IF cannot do it, VBA code is fine.
