Changing One Validation Cell Should Reset Another?
Nov 12, 2013
My sheet has a Data Validation drop down menu "Department", where the user selects a Department. Based on this selection, another Data Validation cell "Team Leader" gives a list of Team Leaders to choose from. This works perfect. Change the Department, you get a different list of names. The problem is that if I have both a Department and a Team Leader selected, and then I change the Department selection, it keeps the Team Leader cell filled with now invalid data (the Team Leader from the previous department). If I then click on the Team Leader cell, it has the correct names listed to choose from, but until I do that cell retains the old information. Is there any way to blank the "Team Leader" cell, or push data to it (I've included a Choose a Team Leader entry in my list of people), when I change my Department selection?

When opening the attached file, for some reason, I have to again select the cells from column A in tab "Transactions" and go to Data Validation and select again LIST - only then the data validation from list resumes working. When I close the file after saving and open it again, the data validation does not work - I have to again go to Data Validation and again reselect LIST (making sure, of course, that I do not mess up Source) to have Data Validation list run again.

SOLVED
Attached is my example.
I want to have the data in a Named List display automatically in a certain column, and the data be dependent on the choice in a cell with a List Validation.
Choose "option 1" in the Cell's drop-down, and in the specified area appears all of the data in the "option 1" referenced List.

I am working on a spreadsheet and using a validation list which is working fine. However i know want to have multiple validation lists that change depending on what you choose from the first one.
For example in the first list it would say, Vegetables, Frozen, Fruit etc
If i chose Fruit in the second list i want it to then list Bananas, Apples etc etc.

I would like to find out how can I create a chart, where it is interacting with the selection of 3 drop down list (created from data validation-list option). It will show up to 12 months of data.
First list would have only Male & Female, 2nd list would have 1st Class, 2nd Upper, 2nd Lower, 3rd Class and Pass Only, 3rd list would have all the months of 3 years.
My data is from J9:U22. These data needs to be changed accordingly, reading from D45:U58.
For the graph, if I select Male, 2nd Upper, and Jun-2012, I want it to show only this selection, where the period will be from Jul-2011 till Jun-2012.
Previously I have done one, with only 1 selection of drop down list, where I used Vlookup. Now involves 3 criterias.
Or is there an easier way to do it?

i have cells A1 to A10 filled with numbers
i have cells B1 to B10 blank
what i need to do is when something is typed in cell B1 - A1 to A5 are reset to zero and when i type something in cell B2 - A2 to A6 reset to zero.
I have tried to do this as a range ie
A1- A10 have numbers in B1 - B10 copy these numbers and reset if anything is typed in C1 with this formula =IF(C1:C5="",A1,"0") what it should do is reset B1 to zero if anything is typed in C1-C5 but only when something is typed in C1 does this work ..

if there is a way to reset the last used cell without saving? I have macro first brings in about 30,000 rows of data, but deletes most of it before it finishes running. This works fine, until the third time I try to refresh the report, when Excel won't let me insert another 30,000 rows of data because it would push the last used cell off the bottom of the report and that's apparently not okay, even if the cell is completely blank.
I have it set to automatically clear the blank rows and save when the report opens, but that doesn't help if they run it too often before that happens. I don't want to do a background save because they may have made changes that they don't want to save.

This may have been answered on here but can not seem to find it. My situation is I have values in A1,A2 & A3 that are like counter reading so the value is always changing. What I am looking to do is change the cell color if one of the values is over 500 from the other two values. Say A1 is 3000, A2 is 3250 and A3 is 3500. I would like the cell for A3 to change color.

I just can't seem to get the syntax correct for setting or resetting a cell value using the OnTime schedule function. It looks like the cell value changes randomly and after several cycles it just runs non-stop very, very quickly and I have to use the ESC key to break out of the loop.
Here is my code:
VB:
Sub RunOnTime()
dTime = Now + TimeValue("00:00:10")
Application.OnTime dTime, "RunOnTime"
If Cells(1, 4).Value <= Cells(6, 2).Value Then
Cells(1, 4).Value = Cells(1, 4).Value + 1
[Code]...

I basically have four cells
c8 = goods in (new components in)
c9 = kanban stock (current qty in stores)
c10 = current stock (=kanban stock minus allocated)
c11 = allocated (number on order)
What I would like to be able to do is enter a figure in c8. This would then start the macro to update c9,10 and 11.
The problem I have is that if i enter a figure into c8 sure it alters the others if i do a quick =sum formula but does not reset. Therefore if I put for example 6 in cell c8 and then want to add another 8 all other cells alter accordingly. I want all cells apart from c8 to update and hold the figure after c8 has been entered.

I am trying to build a spreadsheet that tallies hours worked and hours available for the next day. The key to this spreadsheet is the number 70. A worker can accumulate no more then 70 hours in an 8 day period, however after any day with no hours worked the rule resets to 70 hours available again. I have attached a sample spreadsheet so you can see how this should work.

I've found a # of threads on this subject but have been unable to find the function I need.
I've got a spreadsheet (attached) to calculate vacation time, but I can't figure out how to make the used time reset on an anniversay date. For example, if Employee 1 has earned 80 hours of vacation but only used 40 by his 4 year anniversary date, how do I make unused time roll back to 80 the day of his anniversary?
Here's the structure: 2 Personal days given Jan. 1, then 2 more on July 1 to employees here at least 6 months. Those whose 6 months fall after or between are awarded 2 days on their anniversary then accrue as normal. Unused personal days are lost at the end of the year. Vacation time is 40 hours after 1 year, 80 hours at 3 yrs, then 120 hours at 5+.

1. 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."
Credits:
Special thanks to:
-OzGrid Business Applications for writing code for a UDF (function that returns last word) that I used/modified a little bit to achieve Step 3.
-Carl (member name" carlmack") for his help in the methods I used in Step 4 above.

I would like to utilize data validation to create a drop down list from a list of 100 rows that changes monthly. Currently the list is set to draw data from A1:A100, however depending on the month, different cells will have data in them. What I don't like is currently the blank cells create gaps in the data validation drop down list and make it longer than it needs to be. Is there any way for excel to automatically just display cells with data in them in the drop down?

I'm trying to figure a to enforce dual data validation on a single cell. That is, I need to restrict the user to entering only a decimal value, only if a particular other cell (say A2) is blank. To put it another way, if A2 is blank, the user can enter a decimal value, but if A2 is not blank, the user cannot enter anything. I can use Data Validation to enforce either the decimal restriction or the ISBLANK, but I'm not sure how to make them work together.

When cell A1 changes in Excel to 1 (fed via an external com process) I want another cell, A3, to display the value of cell A2 (also fed by an external program)
I need A3 to keep displaying the same value of A1 until A4 displays 'A' at which time A3 to start to monitor for changes to A1 again (A1 will now not display 0)

Cells B3 and B6 both have lists created through data validation.
If the value in B3 changes (by user selecting from the list), I'd like B6 to automatically change to "Select a take to retrieve" (which is the first choice in the B6 list.)
Likewise, if the value in B6 changes (by user selecting from the list), I'd like B3 to automatically change to "Select a version to take" (which is the first choice in the B3 list.)

I have attached a sheet that I am working on. I want cell G1 to be less than or equal to 165. That cell contains a formula. If the formula takes the number to over 165 the validation is allowing it.

If i have a range say E12:O12 and want to find the last cell before blank, lets say it finds m12 as the cell with the value before blank. then with m12 it needs to determine weather row 11 in the same column has Text either "S" or "F" if "S" then m12 = t if "F" then m12 offset(1,-1) = t. And just to make things more difficult i need the range E12:O12 to step 2 as well until it gets to E208:O208 .Noting that row 11 never changes and will always have either an "S" Or an "F"
and also t = time()

I would like to accomplish 2 things in my Excel 2010 spreadsheet by click a cell which already has a number and formatting in it.
1. How do I change the color of the cell, the color of the number in it, and the border around it. (Make it look like I just pressed a button by clicking it.)
2. At the same time have the text in different cell and the number in the selected cell appear in another different cell. (Text in a different cell = A , and the number in the selected cell = 23, the value in the resulting cell be "A 23") Everything I would like to happen at the same time by clicking the selected cell. I would also like this to be done several times by clicking different cells and not changing the previously selected cells.

I am working on a workbook with 200+ sheets and an index linking to each of the sheets. On the sheets there is a cell containing the results of calculations and I need the cell referencing the sheet in the index to change background colors depending if the calculations value is greater or less than 0. I currently have working code that also changes the tab color of each sheet depending on the value, but i am trying to add the index cell background change functionality into that. also, the index listings is subject to change. my working code is
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("d34").Value < 0 Then
Me.Tab.ColorIndex = 3
ElseIf Range("D34").Value > 0 Then
Me.Tab.ColorIndex = 4
Else
[Code]...
and the code i am trying to get working is
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rngX As Range
Set myRange = Worksheets("Index").Range("A1:A500").Find(Range("C2").Text, lookat:=xlPart)
' the C2 is the reference the title that would be on the index
If Range("d40").Value < 0 Then
[Code]....
I keep getting the runtime error '1004: application-defined error or object-defined error the thing is, i ran the cell background changing code in a normal macro before integrating it in my other worksheet code first and it worked fine. I have a little code experience, though not much in vba and I am unsure what the issue is. if there is another better way to accomplish what I'm tring to do, that would also be fine.

I'm trying to create a tag with a color border. What I desire is to fill the BLANK cells around the tag, A1:D1 + D1:D19 + A1:D19 + A1:19 in a certain color based on the text value of the cell B11. There are 5 different values, such that if the B11 read Red Sox - the boarder is going to be red, if it reads Houston Astros it will be dark blue, etc..
I have a similar problem with changing the color of the cell based on the month. So regardless of the year, 2014, 2015, 2016, etc... If I use MONTH() function I can just get numbers from 1-12. I want Cell C16-C18 to be certain color depending the date entered in cell C17 such that for each quarter, months 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12 they are different color.
I have had no luck with conditional formatting (and I also believe that it is good up to 3 cases only). I am decent in logic/programming language but have little knowledge with macro notation and especially how to run them in excel 2013. I do know how to start it alt+F11 and that I need to make sure that code is written under the specific sheet where my tag is located.

I did a search on this site and found some code I was looking for (see link:
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...e-in-cell.html - Leith Ross's response code).
The code works perfectly, however, if I save the workbook with a different spreadsheet on top than the spreadsheet referred to in this code, I get an error message: Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed.
I should state that I did change "Private Sub Workbook_Open()" to "Private Sub Auto_Open()".
I assume I need to modify the code but am unsure as to how.

What I need to do is have a cell that will be say yellow until there is information put into this cell. The information could be in the format of text or numbers. The information would not always be the same so it would need to be yellow when there is no information in the cell and another colour or white when there is information in the cell.

I need to change the color of a specific cell when conditions are met in a different cell and it seems like it may be beyond the scope of simply applying conditional formatting. What vba code would look like in proper syntax to make the following statement true. IF cell value Q4 is >=cell value S4 AND cell value R4 is <100 Then cell Q4 turns red and IF cell value Q4 is >= cell value S4 AND cell value R4 =100 then cell Q4 turns green. it may also be useful to know that the "cell values" in this example will be dates and not straight values. this may be possible to do using conditional formatting, but i cannot find a formula that works.
