Circulating Error On Creation Of Dynamic Validation List
Aug 13, 2014
I've converted to a dynamic validation list which allows for a selection of data to be made available based on the selection of the two previous columns.
Unfortunately since creating the new validation a circulating error occurs when tabbing through the table (B) to create a new line or entry? Additionally I've found the following to occur also;
1. The payments and PO# columns converts a red shade colour?
2. The validation on Table B description column do not work while in excel online edit mode?

i want to create dynamic validation list in excel. The logic shd be like
this. i m fetching data from SAP on the click of execute button in sheet2. at this point of time i want to create dynamic validation list in sheet2 in row "E". and data to be filled in the list will be fetched from sheet1. i have added new named range in sheet1 called"mbe"(in sheet1!A) when user will execute excel i will feel data in sheet1 cloumn A. and i have written this code in the click of execute button :
With ActiveSheet.Range("myrange")
.Validation.Delete
.Validation.Add xlValidAlertStop, , "=mbe"
.Validation.InCellDropdown = True
.Validation.IgnoreBlank = True
End With
its giving runtime error "1004" (object defined error)

I have a range which will change in size & in content, & I want this to be a Named Range at whatever size it is.
Reason I want to is because I want to make a Validation List with this dynamic range. I also want a Validation list which lists the content of 2 or more dynamic ranges which may or may not be on the same worksheet - is this possible?
i.e.
First dynamic range: called "Milestones" at A11
Second dynamic range: called "Activities" at A25
& make a Validation list that will list content of both

I'm using Data Validation for various fields in a form and I'm trying to make it user friendly by adding Error Alert conditions and text explaining why the error has occurred. I also want the form to be translatable into other languages.
For some VBA message boxes that get displayed I can put the English text in some hidden cells and that can be translated easily by someone without access to the code. But I cannot figure out how to make the Data Validation Error Alert messages point to a cell so that they are also translatable without forcing the translator to open each Data Validation dialog.

I have a sheet (database) which has dymamic validation lists based on a another sheet called "look ups". The problem I have is When I choose any of the validation drop downs there are two blank entries at the bottom and the cursor is on the first one of these. I would like the cursor to be on the first entry in the validation list

I have a dynamic validation list (see attached) which will not accept the indirect function as a formula in the listbox.
Using the named range on its own works fine, but using the indirect generates an error.

I'm needing some code that will program-magically do the following interactive stuff:
1. Go to the first cell that will be the start of my range, say "D1".
2. While holding down the "shift" key, press "end", then "down". All of the desired cells will then have been selected. [side note: how can I detect that the "d2" cell is not blank - I don't really want 65K cells in my range?]
3. Next, "Insert", "Name", "Define", then typein the desired name range ("schoolList", here) and press enter.
This would seem to be a case for using the macro recorder but the range will always come out hard-coded, rather than the cells that would be selected using an "end" "down" selection.

I have a UserForm with a CommandButton; when I click on it a function creating dynamic checkboxes on another UserForm is implemented and then this second UserForm is displayed (and the dynamic checkboxes are displayed too).
Code:
Private Sub cmd_BUTTON_Click()
If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to add Dynamic CheckBoxes?", vbQuestion + vbOKCancel, "") = vbOK Then
UserForm1.Hide
UserForm2.Caption = "DYNAMIC CHECKBOXES"
Create_DynamicCheckboxes
End If
End Sub
Code:
Sub Create_DynamicCheckboxes()
Dim CheckBoxTop As Integer
CheckBoxTop = 75
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 10
Set theCheckBox_ID = UserForm2.Controls.Add("Forms.CheckBox.1")
[Code] .........
Everything work fine!!!
Now I have the UserForm2 displayed that include 10 CheckBoxes, which names should be:
chk_1chk_2chk_3chk_4chk_5chk_6chk_7chk_8chk_9chk_10
Why the following code doesn't work???
Code:
Private Sub chk_1_Click()
MsgBox(chk_1.Value)
End Sub

Is it possible to have a dependent validation drop box that under certain conditions automatically produces an actual value in the cell instead of a drop-down list to choose from? For example, if I choose “Holy Avenger” in the first drop box, and the value for that choice in the second drop box is always a “2”, can you get it to auto-populate in the cell occupied by that 2nd drop box (cell B5 in the attachment)? Or, are you restricted to using Lists only, meaning that you could create a List that only has the value “2” in it, and the user would be required to choose the “2” in the drop box?

I'm working on trying to maintain an inventory management sheet where i basically enter all the spare parts issued to vehicles. Now there are more than 700 parts dat form the components of a vehicle, so i decided to split this list into 12 spare groups(Gear, Engine, Body, Axle, etc etc..) and then based on wotever spare group being selected my sheet wud pull dat specific spare group list.
Since i've worked with indirect function before i thought this was a piece of cake!
However when i actually sat working on getting my sheet together i realised its not gonna be dat easy! Basically my spare group lists are a work in progress and so new items would/may be added to these lists as we start working on this sheet. So i decided to make them dynamic by using the offset function. But list validation fails when i use Indirect function on dynamic ranges!

I am looking for a way to define a 'Data Validated' Cell to hold a List of Dynamic Sequential Numbers - from 1 to the Value of cell A4. For example:
If cell A4 has a value of 5 the 'Data Validated' List will be 1,2,3,4,5
I have tried to 'name' the Array-Formula {=ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&A4))} and put the 'name' as the List source but without success.

I would like the individual cells of C1 and D1 to allow me to input values up to 100. The tricky part is that if D1 equals 100 I would like C1 to be less than 100 and vice versa, if C1 equals 100 then D1 should equal less than 100.
Ex. C1 = 100 & D1 = 10
This should never happen: C1 = 100 & D1 = 100. I would also like an error box to show when either of the cell values exceed 100.

I'm working on a function that gets its values from a Data Validation List.
My problem is that I want the function to return a value when an item in the list is selected and another if the user did not make a selection... just a basic if....then....else ... but the cell where I call this function shows the #VALUE! error while no item in the list is selected.
I call the function like this:
=myFunction(RC[-5], RC[-2])
where RC[-5] is the Data Validation List and RC[-2] is a cell where the user should enter a number
why I'm getting the #VALUE! error instead of my message
The function basically looks like this:

I have a excel document that is very heavy with Data Validation List Boxes. Below is just one example. Error handling is what I am trying to figure out.
Description:
I have 3 List Boxes.
One list box data is based on data selected in the previous list box.
1st List Box uses this formula: =Series
2nd List Box uses this formula: =INDIRECT($C$2)
3rd List Box uses this formula: =INDIRECT($C$3)
It all works! HOWEVER....
If user decides to go back and change selection in first or second list box, and forgets to change the data in the second or third box, then data will be incorrect. How do I solve this problem?
Is there anyway to write something so it would give them an error message and instructing them to correct the data?

I am in the process of setting up some graphs. The graphs will show the last 6 months of data so they move as each month is goes. I saw a slick way of doing this using the count function but this did not quite fulfill my needs. What I was looking for is to be able to input the start month in a cell. The cell would be part of the function within the formula. I created a simplified version of the spreadsheet below.
Spreadsheet.jpg
Then I created my names using the ctrl-F3
Names.jpg
I then created the graph I wanted and wanted to use the formula =SERIES(Sheet1!$B$3,!chtCat,!chtIssuesReported,1). This kept getting an error indicated nothing really. It basically says there is something wrong with my Series function. I have a working version of a similiar worksheet I have been basing my entries on. They look almost identical but mine is failing. I also created a new file and tried this and it still fails. I can run the formula evaluator within Excel 2010 against the !chtCat and !chtIssuesReported names and they both return the correct value (which equals areas on the spreadsheet). I have also tried to enter the spreadsheet name and a tab in front of the names to get them to work and still get an error. Basicall I am trying to create the graph below (this grpah is using the hard coded locations)

This might be a little complex to understand but I am going to try to make it clear as to what I am in need of. Basically I have a larger macro that runs and I need to add a pop up that asks for a percentage to be put into a new sheet. The percent is the percent of random rows on the current sheet to be put into a new sheet. Then it would have to create the new sheet with the random information. This is for a audit and we want to have it done randomly and no duplicates. There are no duplicates in the list at this point. The width if needed is from column A to column E.

I have a question on the above but can't seem to find a solution. There are two ways that I can find for dealing with dynamic lists via data validation:-
1) Offset and match, cavet being the data must be sorted a-z
2) Have lists for each potential selection
Is there any way to get around 1 without having to do 2? E.g. Got two columns of data, unsorted, and a list from which the user can choose from. The user chooses from the list in first cell, in the second cell require the dynamic list to return all the values accordingly?

I have a dynamic table which is linked to a couple of charts. The table must remain dynamic.
I needed to add two new columns to the table, "Focus Area" and "Category". I need a drop down list in the "Category" column to be dependent on the item selected from a drop down menu in "Focus Area".
I can get the first row of the dynamic table to do this.... however; subsequent rows all lock the drop down list in the "Category" column to the same choices regardless of what is chosen in the "Focus Area" list.
Is there a way to make dynamic drop downs within a dynamic table?

I'm not sure if its possible to do what I want. I'm trying to do it without VBA as my users might have a high macro security setting.
I have a validation dropdown in A2 where they pick 'yes' or 'no' for FLSA. I would like B2 to be a dropdown (validation, listbox, whatever) that would change based upon A2. If A2 is 'yes' I want to use the data in A5:B7 and if its 'no' use A10:B12. Ultimately I want B2 to equal one of the numbers from A5 - A7 or A10 - A12. However when they click on the drop down they see the combo of column A and columb B as column A has no meaning for the user.

Sheet A - The user input form. There is a column which needs data validation. I want it to look at Sheet B and ONLY accept values based on a column value from the other sheet
Sheet B- Contains the list we want the data validation from. One column is considered the lookup value, while the other is what we want the user to be selecting from.
Here is an example list:
Predecessor Entity Key---- Item ID
2659407------------------- SHELL - SOUTH TOWER
2659407------------------- MARKING / LABELING
2659407------------------- FOUNDATIONS & SUPPORTS
2659410------------------- UPPER HEAD - NORTH TOWER
2659410------------------- FOUNDATIONS & SUPPORTS
2659410------------------- LOWER HEAD - SOUTH TOWER
So, in Sheet 1, if one of the triggering values is 2659407, I want my data validation to ONLY Allow the first 3 values from the Item ID column.
The issue I am having is using a pretty messy formula to try and produce a dynamic range for the Data Validation to use.
Here is what works:
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(ADDRESS(MATCH(J4,A:A,0),2),":",ADDRESS(ROW(OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH(J4,A:A,0),2)),COUNTIF(A:A,J4)-1,0)),2)))
where J4 is the lookup value/1st column depicted in our simple example
This is done on the SAME sheet. So I figure, just add "'Sheet Name'!" for the first argument in CONCATENATE. Unfortunately, this does not work. How to get this to work on an outside sheet?
Update:
Also tried:
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("'Profile Item Library'!",ADDRESS(MATCH(J4,'Profile Item Library'!A:A,0),2),":",ADDRESS(ROW(OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH(J4,'Profile Item Library'!A:A,0),2)),COUNTIF('Profile Item Library'!A:A,J4)-1,0)),2)))
The error I get is that I cannot Reference other worksheets. However, If I type in ='Profile Item Library'!B1:B18 for the Data Validation argument, it works.

I have a question regarding dynamic validation. I have attached a sample spreadsheet to clarify if my explanation doesn't. I have a list of codes that map to a list of other codes that are not one to one mapping. I would like for the other users of this code to populate what the correct code on our side is but without having to go thru the entire list in a validation field. (if that makes since)
Using validation before in a similar instance i used indirect to grab a named range to help shorten the list for them. However in this case that would be a ton of ranges i would have to set up! I've tried Match, countif and index in an offset formula in the validation list but can never get it to work!

I need to setup a dropdown list (I already have the dropdown created) so that once a value in the list is used, it disappears from the list. Now for the monkey wrench...It need to completely re-populate once the list that is being generated from it is cleared.
I also need to copy a value from one sheet to another sheet, however, the location needs to be matched with a corresponding value from the first sheet. Hopefully it will be easier to understand within the workbook (I feel like I'm not explaining it well).
I have attached a sample copy of the workbook and what I am trying to accomplish.

I am looking for a solution for my problem: I work for a bus company, I need a spreadsheet where I will record the bus numbers into a sheet but I only want to be able to add the number once ie. error if duplicate bus entered. Also the numbers will change from time to time, old buses sold when new ones arrive. I have the following code that someone helped me with wich works fine provided you don't have to change the numbers.
=And(Or(And(E42>=121,E42<=125),And(E42>=149,E42<=156),And(E42>=320,E42<=363),And(E42>=700,E42<=799),And(E42>=800,E42<=991)), COUNTIF($B$3:$E$46,E42)<2)

I have a spreadsheet where I keep all records of all the rock climbing I have done.
I am after a way of choosing a climbing area either by data validation or combo box (already set up as a named range) and then the climb names available in another validation list shows only those from that particular climbing area.
From what I have seen from various web sites it seems the climbing area names need to be in a unique list (is this correct). My sheet looks like the following:
Column A | Column B (climbing area) | Column C (climb name)
Date | Mt Arapiles | Agent Orange
Date | Mt Arapiles | Auto Da Fe
Date | Morialta | Asgard
Date | Morialta | Al Sirrat
Date | Buckaringa Gorge | Agent Orange
The name in the climbing area column will be repeated often.
The climb name should be unique to each climbing area, but the climb name my be repeated in another climbing area.
The climbing areas are anamed range on a separate worksheet.
The details of the climbs has all the details of the climb i.e. the Climb Name; Climbing Area (VLookup); Grade ; Distance ; Single or Multi Pitch ; Lengths of each Pitch.
I already have a working example of the spreadsheet (220KB) but it currently works backwards i.e. I use validation to find the climb name and then this uses the INDEX function to return the climbing area.
I would like to be able to choose the climbing area and then the next available choices would be limited to that climbing area.

I have a spreadsheet that I use to store my rock climbing records.
how to create Dependent Validation for this spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet has three worksheets:
1. Climbing Area
This is a unique list of various rock climbing areas.
Data in column A only
2. Climb Details
This is where all the details of the climb e.g. pitch lengths, grade, etc are recorded. Column called Climbing Area uses a named range validation from the Climbing Areas) sheet.
Climbing Area data validation in column A and Climb Name in column B, grade, pitch lengths in other columns.
3. Dates & Pitches
This is where I record the date I did the actual climb. Once again the Climbing Area uses data validation from the Climbing Area worksheet.
What I am trying to work out is how I can get the next column Climb Name to be dependent upon the previous column. For example if I select a climbing area of Mt Arapiles, I only want those climbs from the Climb Details worksheet that a recorded as being at Mt Arapiles.
Column A is date when climb done. Column B is data validation from Climbing Area. Column C is Climb Name (would like this dependent upon column B.

I am a personal trainer/strength coach, and i use excel to write my workout programs.
To save time in writing programs i have made lists of all of my exercises in a separate workbook. I have them all linked via data validation in drop down lists to different templates for different populations ;weight loss, injury prevention, sports performance, ect. And it has been working great!
However here is my problem, I would like to be able to return an entire list of an exercise circuit with one drop down list and have it input all the exercises in cells below the drop down list.
So for example i have three columns on a separate sheet.
Column one
Circuit A
exercise 1
exercise 2
exercise 3
Column two
Circuit A
exercise 4
exercise 5
exercise 6
Column Three
Circuit A
exercise 7
exercise 8
exercise 9
In cell A1 i want a drop down list that that has circuit A, B, C,
using the drop down list if i pick circuit A it will return exercise 1, 2, 3 in the cells A2, A3, A4, receptively.
