Certain Dropdown Items Filling Different Information Into Cells?
Oct 25, 2012
Wasn't sure what the easy way to do this is. I'm trying to have a drop down menu where choosing a certain item triggers specific information to fill multiple cells. For instance, choosing Work Contacts in a drop down menu brings up four different people's names in cells B43-46 and their phone number in C43-46 and email in D43-46. Choosing another item for instance, Personal Contacts, would reveal a different set of four names and information.

I have a sheet that has been created with a pivott table, and as such has a lot of blank cells in the description column, and I want to do a little macro to fill all of these. Basically, what I was thinking, was that the macro finds the last cell with data in it in column A. Then it moves up one cell and checks if its empty. If it is empty, then it copies the information from the cell immediatly below then moves up one and does it all again. If it is not empty then it just moves up one cell and does it all again.

I have a column of data (Column T) which has about 10 different words in it (varieties of fruit). What I want to achieve is based on the data in column T I want to fill Column U with information, let me put it in an example.
Column T has the following words in 2000 rows. Thompson, Crimson, Sable, Superior, Midnight, Ralli.
If Cell T4 for example has 'Thompson' or 'Superior' I want cell U4 to say 'white', but if cell T4 has 'Crimson' or 'Ralli' I want it to say 'Red'. If it has Midnight I want it to say 'black'.
I think this can be done using a vlookup maybe? I don't have to go down 2000 rows to fill this information in.

I want to make things easier for myself when filling in my worksheets by having certain cells autofill based on a product number.
So I have my main worksheet and I have my product information sheet. When I type in the product number in cell 13C, I want it to auto fill cell 13B with the product name which is located in collumn A on the product info sheet, but dependent upon that product number. Collumn B in my product info sheet has all of the product numbers. From there I would need 13G on my main worksheet to fill in with Collumn D from the product sheet, but again dependent upon that product number.
There are more that need to fill yet, but I can figure out what to do once I have a starting point with the above I believe.

I have a list of 800 fund names that can be any one of 6 types of funds. It is easy to filter the names using the filter function, but I cannot get it to be a filtered list for my dropdown box. The dropdown box should only list those fund names of funds that is of a certain kind. I know I am missing something small.
If the accompanying data is used as an example, I would like a dropdown box with the names of all the I funds.

I have a document to track funding and would like to be able to auto-populate individual task sheets within the workbook based on a task drop-down. So if I choose Safety from the "Task Area" drop down it would auto populate the full row from the Master Sheet to the Safety Sheet. I have uploaded my document so you can better understand.

It's a quarterly schedule for utility meter readers, divided up into days across the top, and routes/areas down the side.
There's a space with each route for the employee ID to go, depending on who's doing it.
Down the bottom of the sheet, there's a few empty lines for all the available employees who haven't been allocated to a route.
On the second sheet labelled EMP LIST, is all the employee IDs. It's also got the areas they work- it's for something I want to implement later.
I can put all the employees into a single column list, then use basic DV to give a dropdown menu by each route, to assign an employee to it. This is pretty straight forward. I've also been playing with this in combination with a countif, so that employees already assigned do not appear in the list.
This is about as far as I've managed to get with it.
I need to get the employees who aren't assigned to anything to appear in a list below the routes. I'm fairly sure this is just another countif, but I'm not 100% on the exact formulas.
I also need the list in the dropdown menu to reset for each day of the quarter, i.e. if I assign an employee to a route on the 30th day of the quarter, their ID will disappear from the list for any other route for that day, but will still be there for the other days of the quarter.
So far the only way I've managed to do this is by duplicating the employee list for every day of the quarter, which is going to get very cluttered, and also makes staffing changes difficult. I'm hoping there's an easier way to do this using one data set.
I've added an example of the sheet. It's one week and it's only got about 1/3 of the routes we would actually have on any given day.

Hi all. I need to create a dropdown list that can handle more than the standard eight rows that data validation allows. My list requires 75 different items in the dropdown. Is there any way that I can do this?

I am trying to create a drop down list that shows the description of different codes. i.e.
1000 - Straight time
1010 - Vacation Time
1020 - Sick Time; etc.
In the spreadsheet, I only want the number to show (1000, 1010, or 1020).

I would just like to know if there is a way to add items to a drop down list that cant actually be selected.
Asking because I have a table from which the dropdown list gets populated and the user then selects a particular row but would like the header fields to also be added to the list just for reference.
I have attached the spreadsheet in question for reference.

I have about 145+- employees and I made a simple spreadsheet that allows me make a timesheet for every employee. However, I do not want to sit here and select each employee's name and press print 145+ times. Is there another way to do this?
All I would like to do is press print or run a macro and 145 sheets pops out. I have to do this weekly and it would take me an hour to individually do this.

I have successfully used dynamic lists that remove items that have been selected from a dropdown menu already, however, is there any way dynamic lists can be set up to handle multiple identical items and then if there are say 3 identical items in the dynamic list, once 1 has been select only 2 remain in the list...?

I created a drop down list for products my company sells. Now I am wondering how can I get Excel to display the cost of the item in another column so I do not have to type in the cost each time I bring that product up.
I have searched google and this site but of course I can't describe my search well enough to find what im looking for.
I'm sure this has been explained I just can't find the answer to my problem.

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".

I created a drop down in a file that contains a list of locations. The people that run these locations have to input data (mileage) in other areas of the worksheet. Is it possible to have the data in the cells change as someone changes the location in the drop down so the information is not lost or overwritten each time?
I am really trying to avoid making a workbook with several tabs.
The cells that are colored blue are the cells that the people will have to put input into. I would like to be able to keep the data from all the cells that are blue each time they change the location. The rest of them are already set to change with the location change via a formula. Those are all based on data that I pulled and was able to provide.

If I have a table with, For example:
dates in the first column, and an A,B,C,D,E, or F in the next.
Is there a way that you can have a cell that will tell me how many A's, C's, and F's (summed) are in the current selection, when someone uses the dropdown to narrow it down to one date?

I have a project I'm working on that requires me to display information from various sheets on a dashboard. I have created a data validation dropdown list with part numbers. When one of these part numbers is selected from the drop down list I need the rest of the fields to populate with the appropriate information from various sheets in the workbook. How do I tell the dashboard to display this information per part number?
see the attached workbook.

I have this data inputted into excel sheet: [URL] .......
This data is in tab called Shops, that has 8 columns of information. In another sheet called control, I have the shops names from row A in a list box. What I am trying to do is when whatever shop is selected in the list box then output the shop information from that row in 8 different cells in another sheet. I have a list of about 200 shops that I need to input.
So if we pick shop, Abc inc from the list box how can I get excel to look up the information in Abc inc in the shops tab of information and then display them on other cells in different sheets.
I have the same issue with making a list box of people names. I made the list box but I want to make it so it will display there phone number and e-mail address in 2 other cells once you pick there names. I had some luck using the if command on smaller list boxes but I can't figure out how to get multiple cells of information to come out correctly

I would like to Use two drop down list with two set of information to automatically update fields.
I have Job Titles (1-6) and Step (1-5). Each Job Title has a new pay rate and each step is an increase in pay. What I am trying to do is set up a drop down list where some one can drop down Job Title and step and have the rate automatically fill in.
I am able to get the Job title to auto fill the rate field, but am having trouble incorporating the step into the formula.
Here is what i currently have:
=VLOOKUP(H6,'Pay Rate'!$B$2:$G$12,3,FALSE)
H6 = Job tilte field on 'WorkSheet' (Sheet1)
'Pay Rate'!$B$2:$G$12 = Sheet2 and Step increases per Job Title
3 = the current column I was working with in order to make the rate appear
False = for exact info
I do not want to combine the two columns but keep them separate drop down list.

I'm trying to set up a diet/training spreadsheet so that when a client enters foods and exercises they don't want/can't do, those foods and exercises are made unavailable in dropdown menus (on my programming sheet) so that I can't inadvertently put them into their plans. I have a webform they fill out, which automatically puts the data into a spreadsheet and I know how to pull data from there into the clients' workbooks...

I'm trying to create a database where when 3 dependent drop down list selections are combined, information is displayed.
I've tried VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH but to no avail.
Attached is the spreadsheet and what I am trying to accomplish. On the first sheet ("budget form") is a table named "Event Costs - room hire". I have created three drop down lists that interact based on what you select. Some rooms offer different services and so are dependent on the selection.
However, I want the final box to display the price depending on what is selected in the previous 3 lists. The amounts and a table I have created is in the "Product Database" sheet and the table is labelled, "Room Hire Control C".

I have in column A and B. A includes two (or may be more) kind of items, i.e. drink and snack. Column B has for example water next to drink and chips next to snack. The list is huge.
How can I generate a drop down list with data which uses the A column to identify the items which it should include. I want to make two separate drop down lists for drink and snack and each should include only those options which belong to those categories. I.e. drink list should be like water, cola, pepsi, etc. The problem is that the list is huge and it's not possible to sort it. Some kind of if statement structure with named range? The drop down should be dynamic in a sense that if I add line to data, it should be picked to the right drop down menu.

I would like to know whether it is possible to change the background colour of items in a dropdown/combobox on my userform?
I have a series of times at 15 min intervals and i want, if possible, to distingish between 'working hours' and 'non-working hours' by making the background of these numbers 'grey'.
Maybe looping through from 00:00 to 07:00 i.e 28 times (28 x 15min intervals)?

In the coming months the company i work for will be transferring from Excel 2003 to Excel 2010 (i know, a little late......) and now i am testing some things at home.
We deliver lots of Excel reports to our clients where we are using Pivot tables. In excel 2003 we where able to hide items from the dropdowns using properties - hide items but when i now open an excel 2003 file in excel 2010 and want to filter the pivot table to (let's say) another month i see all my hidden items.
Is there an option in excel 2010 to hide items like i could do in 2003? (either regular option or VBA)
