I created comments to be shown when drop down list items are selected using the helper cell and workbook change solution from Leith Ross at the thread below.

This works perfectly to show the comments. What I'd now like to do is delete the comment if the content of the cell is deleted.
I'm currently working with 3 dropdown lists depending on each other using data validation and =indirect(). I arranged them like in a top-down approach where you have a mother-list and child-lists (categories-->subCategories-->subCategoryCriteria). The user should easily chose first a category then a subCategory etc... This part works perfectly
My question is: when a user chose in the dropdown list e.g. a category, a subCategory and a subCategoryCriteria and he now maually deletes the value in the highest level, which is the Category (mother-list), all sub level values like subCategory and subCategoryCriteria will stay. It shouldn't be that way, because it's not logical. If you turn a tree upside-down (top-down approach) and cut one of the higher positioned trunks, all lower positioned trunks will fall off as well, right? So, my question is: can I use a conditional formatting or a formula to delete or fade out the value in the lower lists when the higher list value is being deleted?
I tried to use If-formula in combination with indirect in data validation, like =IF(A1="";("");INDIRECT(B1))...just and example.
The value doesnt need to be deleted, it could also be automatically face out like white on white or something. It's just confusing for the user if he deletes the highest choice and the lower choices still stay.
I want to delete a cell row in a table when I delete a corresponding worksheet with the same name as the cell.
For example, on the attached, if I delete the worksheet "Shawn" then I want row with "Shawn" deleted from the table on the "Example" tab. If I delete "Becky" worksheet then the row with "Becky" should be deleted from the table on the "Example" tab.

I have been asked by my supervisor to make a performance review template a little bit more user friendly.
Basically what I have is a drop own list in cells in one column (various cells with the same drop down menu) that you select from either 0-10 in a drop down box.
I have another cell which I want to have a drop down box with text comments that you select from when. Only problem is the comments different dependent on the ranking score you give a person (the number selection in the previously mentioned cell from 0-10). So if you have a score between 9-10 in the cell then the comments box will give you certain comments to choose, 7-8 different comments and so on and so forth.
When I use a reference to populate a cell in anothe worksheet and I use the delete key to remove the entry, a zero shows up in the cell of the worksheet wit the cell reference. For example if I use =AM!A3 and use the delete key to delete the entry in cell A3 of worksheet AM, the worksheet with the reference =AM!A3 shows a zero. Is there some way to prevent the zero from appearing in the cell with the reference?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm making a Excel 2013 spreadsheet that has formula in a column that auto enters a number 1-40 when something is entered to the left of that cell. There are 300 rows in the spreadsheet. I would like to make a drop down list in a column cell to the right that would delete that number in that cell from the drop down list. For example cell C1 has 39, that 39 then is deleted from the drop down list. C2 has 22 in it, click on the drop down list cell and it shows 1-40 less 39 and 22.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded a macro which came with it's own button on it's own toolbar. (I can't remember the developer, but it's called Multihide and simplifies the hiding and unhiding of worksheets).
Now, I've copied the button onto my own toolbar, and tried deleting the toolbar (by the usual method - Cursor over toolbar, R-Click, Customise, highlight toolbar name, delete) which came with the macro, and although it at first looks as though it's gone, when I next restart Excel, it's there again. I find I can't delete the button from the toolbar either, nor delete the whole toolbar.
I have 2 sheets Sheet1 & Sheet2
Sheet1 - contains rows of data
Sheet2 - summarizes those rows
I want it so that WHENEVER a row in Sheet1 is removed that same row is removed in Sheet2 and VICA VERSA whenever a row in Sheet2 is removed that identical row is removed in Sheet1.
- this is so that data integrity doesn't get lost if someone removes a row of data in the future.
Is there a way to create a drop down list from a comma delimited list in a single cell? For example, col A is Name & Col B is the delimited list - Blue,Red,Green (list can be different for each name). Would like a drop down list in col C that allows you to pick one of the values from Col B.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 3 related dropdown lists that work perfectly, if you enter data from left to right. But, if you click in the cell containing the second list, which is based on the first list, of which nothing has been selected, you can just type any value in the cell. Is there a way to prevent this, or at least validate that what is entered is a value in the list.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a comment which I wish to edit, but I am unable to either edit or delete the comment. I have checked the 'shared workbook', 'shared worksheet', and 'protected cell' options and they are all turned off (never had them on).
The cell I have the comment on has a dropdown box, but I can't see that being a problem. I am able to add a comment, which I can edit and delete, but the original comment seems to be 'stuck'.
I am having trouble writing a macro to do the following. Someone had created a spreadsheet a while back that highlighted the cell green and inserted a comment with the person's name and date/time if they changed anything in that cell. The macro works great, but I need a macro to undo the changes.
I would like a macro that will remove all comments from the sheet and revert the cells back to their original color. Since the cells encompass many colors, at the very least, I would like the macro to remove the comments and make the cells the default shading (white).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm attempt to automatically validate QTP spreadsheets with an EXCEL VBA macro. All is going well but I now want to look smarter. Is there a method to globally remove all comments from a worksheet?: D What I actually want to do is add comments to cells which fail validation but some of these cells may already contain comments. If they do contain comments then I want to overwrite with my comments. I thought the easiest way would be to delete all comments at the start of macro but I am all ears to any other approach.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat is the formula in excel where the cell in reference return a value from a drop down list?
For example: I have a drop down list of HomeLoan Programs with rates from 3 different channels. If I choose a 30yr FNMA with rates 3.875 = 100.125 ; 4.00 101.250; 4.125 = 102.00
If I choose 20yr FNMA it will return the pricing to the cell next to the program.
I provide a spreadsheet.
30yr FNMA works from the drop down but all other programs does not work. I am not sure if I have to reference and index or match.
I'm trying to create a drop down list that will define the name of the cell so I can reference it in formulas or codings to change the format of various cells defined by a specific name.
I'm not even sure if I can have multiple cells defined as the same name
I'll be inputting data into cells, and I want the color of the cell to change depending if the data is one of these criteria: 'In Service', 'In Transit', or 'Must Purchase'. I can't just make separate criteria columns to list all the data, because the data is already placed in a specific order. So I want whoever is viewing this to know which entry fits which criteria from the color of the cell.
The only thing I could think of is inputting the cell data value, and a drop down menu to define the cell name. I'll input a conditional formatting function to format based on the defined name criteria.
I was wondering if there is a way to have a single cell display a value and a drop down list that shows the chosen value. For example, I want to be able to enter into a single cell "365" and select "Hours" from a drop down list and have both be displayed in the same cell. I want to do this because I like to be able to sort my spreadsheet and I have a lot of information that spans across the row that I want to keep tied together. Is this even possible?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to use or not use a dropdown list in data validation depending on the value of another cell. The application is to be able to choose a state from the dropdown list only if the country selected in another cell is "US". If the country is not US then I want the user to be able to fill in free text and there be no dropdown list. I know it's possible to have a dropdown list and allow entries without it being on the list but I need the dropdown list not to appear at all if the value is not US.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with numerical data in B1:B11 and textual data in C1:C11. The numerical data is a couple of digits, nothing big, and the textual data is always two letters, in this case AB, AC or AD. I have the options for AB, AC or AD for each of the cells in C1:C11 in a data validation drop down list. What I'm trying to do is make a VBA macro, of some sort, that acts upon when, AB for instance, is changed to AC, and then multiply the adjacent numerical value in the B column by a conversion value:
AB -> AC = 3
AC -> AD = 7
AD -> AB = 4
So for example, if I had cell B2 as 10 and C2 as AB, then changed AB to AC using the drop down menu, the macro would recognise the change, select the adjacent cell, B2, and multiply it by 3 to get 30, and put 30 in B2.
This is what I've got so far, and I'm no VBA expert, so I've probably made mistakes in multiple places. At the moment, the code below is getting stuck on active.celloffset - and I'm really not sure why. I did manage to get it working with specific cells rather than a range, but that only ever worked once and I had to close and re-open excel to get it to work again. Is my code any good, or am I coming at this from the wrong direction?

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Code:
Static ov As Variant
