Is there a way of setting the input range on a combo box to a vale set in a cell?
ie, if my current input range is A2:A40 and i then users add another 20 records to that column, i need the combo box input range to change to A2:A60, so I can leave the sheet unmonitored for the users to add lines and not have to manually change the input range of the combo box.
I am preparing a template for which I need a combo box. Becaue it is a template I can't have this combo box any specific input range. Because I won't know how long the data column (that wiill be used for input range) will be.
Also the data column will have many duplicates but the combo box needs to show uniques only.
If I had a combo box that look at 10 item in a range A1:A10 and the output value was in B1
Say a user added a new Item in A11. How could I get the range of the combo box to automatically extend to A11 or A12 if two new items are added.
I am trying to avoid having the input range as A:A and having lots of empty values?
I could need a code for a Combo Box to selects the range in Column A. The range includes all non-blank cells.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI currently have the following user inputbox that asks the user to enter the company name, of which it then copies the entered name to Cell E1 on the active sheet
Dim strName As String
strName = InputBox(Prompt:="You name please.", _
Title:="COMPANY NAME", Default:="Enter Company Name")
Range("E1") = strName
However, I would prefer it if there was a drop down list to select one of five pre-set company names without having the user to type the name out every time.
My spreadsheet has in the region of 30 columns, more will be added on occasion in the future and ultimately I want to have each of the column headers appear in a 2-tiered dependent combo box. In the following structure:
Category 1:
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Category 2:
Header 4
Header 5
Header 6
Header 7 etc...
What I'm not sure about is what the most efficent way of making it so that it will automatically add new Column headers (and possibly categories) to the drop-down box so that it does not need to be re-coded in the future.
I have a form with a number of fields. There is a field at the top of the form for Part number. When I type in a part number I need the form to auto complete any fields that are linked (if i can link them). E.g., if the part number is 111 then based on info in another table the fields will be auto completed for me.

I am making a basic inventory tracking worksheet which consists of 2 sections. The first section has all the unassembled parts and quantities and the second shows the total assembled parts. I am trying to track unassembled parts and assembled parts simultaneously. I would like to have a cell that I can put a number in (which would represent the number of assembled products manufactured that day) and adjust the totals in both parts accordingly as they are made. For example, if I start the day off with 5 units of all the parts unassembled and manufacture 2 that day, I want to be able to put the number 2 in a cell, hit enter, and then have the unassembled inventory decrease by 2 (per part) and have the assembled inventory increase by 2.

Second dynamic range: called "Activities" at A25
& make a Validation list that will list content of both

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a dynamic array so that when a user enters the first sheet name via an input box, excel will know to select the other sheets with ending (2), (3), (4) etc.
Currently this code works only if there are 4 sheets present (as I set this way), anything lower/higher is out of range.
How do I make it so that it will select sheets if there are less than 4 sheets present?
I tried nesting, but I pretty sure this array needs redimming or something. Is ubound a better option?
I want to make a combo box in excel that, if i select it the sheet inside the combo box will appear.

How can i do this? theirs a macro code to use?
I've got a Combo Box that I want to be able to attribute Hyperlinks to. I would like to be able to select one of the options from the Combo Box and have the Hyperlink fire automatically. The conditions are:
Workbook Name: Floor Plan
Combo Box Worksheet Name: Switched 2
Input range: 'Combo Box'!$A$1:$A$4
Cell link: $CU$80
Drop down lines with corresponding Hyperlink Named ranges:
R FRONT R_FRONT_Hardwired
L REAR Audio_1_AZ80
120V-60HZ 4A ER_16_PC_100A_Outlet_6
R REAR Audio_1_AZ80
I've attached the Code as text.It is not working and I'm sure there are a number of reasons why.
I have been trying to make a combobox for which the list is a named range. However, this range needs to be transposed. ListFillRange doesn't seem to let me transpose the list first. I've tried transposing the list somewhere else first and then adding it, but it seems to want a range as opposed to a reference to a range. I'm so confused now. This is the basic code that I wish would work.
ActiveSheet. OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.ComboBox.1", Link:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=253, Top:=472, Width:=117, Height:=20). _
Select
Selection.ListFillRange = "=transpose(Stream_Data!StreamList)"
While I'm at it, could someone explain to be how to refer to a combobox. ie. when you create it, you don't name it so how can you refer to it. That's why I have used the selection tool above to add the list.
I'm creating a sheet that takes three Validation Lists into account. The first two lists are based on named regions. The third list uses the first two lists to narrow a search down so that the user can pick what they want from a smaller selection. I'm using the code from Contextures.com to allow the user to double click the validation list to pop up a Combo Box. This allows me to show more than 8 selections at a time and also gives a little freedom on font and font size.
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal11.html
Since the third list is not based on a named region but rather code to compare the two previous lists, when I double click the third validation list a blank combo box pops up. it possible to pop up what ever lists are in the validation boxes.
This is the code that I have in the third validation box which States "The Source Currently evaluates to an error" but works fine for some reason. =OFFSET(CategoryStart, MATCH(B4, CategoryColumn, 0) - 1, IF(A4 = "Description", 2, IF(A4 = "ExtDescription", 3, IF(A4 = "PartNumber",4))), COUNTIF(CategoryColumn,B4), 1)
I tried making a named region that was based on the code, so that the list could change as the user selected different options from the first two lists. This gave me the same problems as I had before.
I have various charts others view and require the data range to change in 12 month intervals, ie Jan07 -Jan08, Feb07-Feb08. I currently move the ranges manually every month but find the it would be more interactive for others if a drop down combo box on the chart were used enabling the user to choose which intervals to view.

I know how to turn the autocomplete on and off but I don´t have a clue where I configure the data range or the cells to display the list when the combo box is clicked.
I am assuming that this is done in the Edit mode at "linkedCell" and LisfFillRange ... yet I can´t get this to work.
Im sorting a dynamic range as mentioned in this Sorting a Named Range. My range is called drWarningTypes and is defined as:
=OFFSET(DataSource!$A$2,0,0, COUNTA(DataSource!$A:$A)-1,1)
When there is only one cell in the range, then running the following sort function includes A1 also in the search (and also adjoining columns).....
I have a column of data that keeps getting new information in it. what i need is a named range that i can use for a chart, first point in the named range will be the first value in the column, second point will be avg. of point 1 and 2, then 3rd point will be avg. of 1,2,3 etc.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get to grips with the dynamic ranges for pivot tables. I have named a range data and in the refers to section put:
=OFFSET(Sheet2!A1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet2!A:A),COUNTA(Sheet2!1:1))
I was hoping that then when i go to data > Pivot table and it asks for the range i could put =Data but it tells me that the range is invalid. I have attached a copy at the bottom.
My searches have not produced anything that I could apply to this situation.
I'm trying to write VBA that would:
1. Search a Workbook for Dynamic Ranges.
2. When a Dynamic Range is found the code would:
A. Determine the current coordinates for the range.
B. Change the "Refers To" value From "=OFFSET...." To "=Worksheet_Name $Column$Row:$Column$Row"
3. Save Changes.
4. Close File.
My apologies but I have very little experience in writing VBA. I understand about variables, arguments, and IF/THEN but just enough to use functions within Excel.
I have a range of data that will grow as the days of the month pass but I need to run calculations on this range. The data is 13 columns wide but the number of rows will increase daily. I remember using a formula in the Define Range that would automatically take into account new additions using the OFFSET function but cannot for the life of me think how exactly to do it.

I have been working on part of the code for my spreadsheet and it works fine in the spreadsheet “Databaseform” however when I copied the code to my master spreadsheet “Paul_PartLocDBCombo” it does not work, I get the error:
Method ‘ range’ of object ‘_worksheet’ failed
The code is then highlighted in yellow, the code is:
Set rng = wksPartsData.Range("a1", Range("a65536").End(xlUp))
Meaning this part is incorrect but I don’t know why? To work it: go to Databaseform and press start. Enter 7mm in the product field and press find all. It will then return all the matching results in the userform. Its this I want to try and achieve on the other spreadsheet when the button find label is pressed.
I'm wondering if it is at all possible to have a cell comment automatically update depending on what data is input in the cell (via user input, VLOOKUP, etc.)?
For example, if cell A1 contains the text "CHARLES" with a comment saying "Employee of the Month", and is then subsequently updated with the new text "JOHN" (again, via direct input, a VLOOKUP, data validation, etc.) is there a way to have the comment automatically update to say something else, such as "Team Lead" for example?
I've considered using VBA to accomplish my goal, but am unsure how to compose an effective code to do so. I've also considered perhaps creating a named table filled with all the different comment possibilities I would like to have used in this cell and then inputting a formula in either cell A1, or the comment contained therein, that would then call the corresponding text from that table based on the data in cell A1. Honestly, I'm not sure that what I'm trying to do is even possible;
