I am trying to create a dynamic, unique listing. I have two data lists (expanding 45,000 rows). They are as follows. I CANNOT use macros due to security constraints :
ARGENTINE PESO ··············Cash Account 1
ARGENTINE PESO ··············Cash Account 2
ARGENTINE PESO ··············Cash Account 3
AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR ·········Cash Account 1
AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR ·········Cash Account 4
AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR ·········Cash Account 7
AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR ·········Cash Account 9
AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR ·········Cash Account 15
I basically want to be able to type "Cash Account 1" in my control cell, and have a dynamic dropdown created that only summarises those currencies available in that cash account, so in this instance, it would be both ARGENTINE PESO and AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR. I have created a solution, but due to the 45,000 row range, it is very processor heavy, and I would like to be quicker i.e. type the cash account you want to analyse, and the combo box / data validation dropdown(?) will only show relevant currencies. I do not mind using helper cells and / or a master sheet to analyse each currency for true/false. Also, the columns can be reversed if that makes it easier.
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 vehicle intake-form in which users have to enter vehicle data.
I also have a huge list containing make/model information.
I would like to be able to use this database in the following way : I want the user to select the make in cell A1 , and then the model in cell B1. It must be possible to choose for example the make "BMW" in cell A1 and then cell B1 should only display the BMW models, and not all others that are present in the list...
I tried to use Data Validation with a list of choices, this works fine for the make (A1) ; but how do I make the list used for Data Validation on B1 dynamically related to the value in cell A1 !
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.
what i need to do is display a list of items, with a dropdown box next to each item. the dropdown boxes are identical. for each item in the list (e.g. each musician), the user should be able to select an item from the box ("percussion", "horn", "string").
my problem is that the number of items in the list is not set, so the list of name labels, dropdown boxes, etc needs to be generated dynamically. is it possible to generate a list of labels/dropdown boxes using a loop? (as i understand it, this would involve writing code to write code.)
I need to create a BOTH box that will dynamically pull names from both the "Chicago Office" & "Seattle Office" columns in my sheet. It is extremely preferable to do this without VB Script if possible to avoid the security warnings on opening the sheet. (Our IT department will not budge on this..)
Detail: I have two lists of employees. Column A lists the Chicago Office employees. Column B lists the Seattle Office employees. I've been able to successfully define named ranges to work with these as dynamic lists. I can append names, or delete names, and the Chicago, or Seattle boxes (drop downs created with data validation formulas inside named ranges) will reflect the updated names correctly. I have been unable to make a single drop down with all the names from both offices, that is updated dynamically. I've attached a sheet so that this is easier to understand. Basically I need the "BOTH" drop down to actually work.
The Chicago range is defined as: =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$11,0,0, COUNTA(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$11),1) The Seattle range is defined as: =OFFSET(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$11,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$11),1)
In the boxes on the right of the lists, I just have a Data Validation List formula as: =Chicago and the other as =Seattle
I have two lists and I would like a formula which only returns unique values - similar to an advanced formula. Is this possible?
In the attached example my data is in columns C and D and I would like a formula in column E if possible. I need it to ignore the capitals. E.g. BLACKBURN and Blackburn appears in each list but I would only want one instance pulled through in column E.
I have a number of text columns, side by side in a worksheet, containing names. I wish to combine these columns into one new column, removing any duplicates, to create a single list of names. Is there a simple way to do this?
I am trying to set up a spreadsheet with linked dynamic drop down lists, based on a table.Using the OFFSET function, I have managed to get this to work if the table is on the SAME sheet at the drop down lists. But I want to be able to put the drop down lists onto a different sheet, so that I can lock and hide the table.
I don't want to use the 'name based on the previous column' idea, as the table is large and will change weekly. the drop downs show all values, even duplicates, which I would like to get rid of.
I have a large list of items and have set up some dynamic drop down lists but need to know if/how to make these lists only show each item once and therefore ignore any duplicates.
In the attached example I have a column of data on worksheet 2. Extra rows will frequently be added and removed from the column. I want to use that column of data to populate a validation drop down box for a whole column of cells on sheet 1. (Target cells coloured yellow for demonstration purposes)
I don’t want the validation drop down to be full of blank rows so I set up a dynamic named range to refer to the column on Sheet2. It all works really well...but...only for cell D6 on sheet 2. It doesn’t work on any of the other target cells on sheet 2 or on sheet 1. I have been looking at this for far too long and it has begun hurting my brain.
I have two different lists of names. One is about 3000 names long and the other has about 3500 names. I want to identify the 500 people that are not in the first list that are in the second. If there anyway to do this? I was going to put them in A-Z order and then go through and using an IF(A=B,"yes","no") and go through and insert new cell when ever it says no till it says yes BUT the functions start messing up when I insert a new row and it's taking way too long.
I have values in Worksheet 1, spread over A1:D25 and A200: D250.
In worksheet2 I have values again from A1:D25 and A200:D250.
Is is possible to only get the unique values of those 4 ranges with the advanced filter? They all need to be shown in eg worksheet 3 starting in A1, (so kinda merged in a sense)?
Is that a thing more for a UDF, or is there a excel function/option that does exactly that?
I have been looking for ages for that kind of function/option, since I thought it must be possible. But this sure does not look to be a standard functionality, or is it? Is there a (free) add-in that might do this kind of thing?
I found this code on some office help page:
Sub SortAllRangeData() ' Place column header for temporary sort area. Range("IV1").Value = "Numbers"
It kinda does what I needed, but it lists the actual data in the same spot it used to be. I want to be able to list the sorting in a different column on a different sheet and in 1 column only. Is this difficult to modify so it becomes a UDF or is this something totally different?
in a sheet I have two cells using data validation and dropdowns - the source for the first cell is a static named range - no problems. The source of the second cell is dependent on the value in the first cell and the sources are dynamic named ranges. The dynamic ranges in cell#2 is named according to the value in cell#1 and I therefore have referenced the ranges using the INDIRECT function - but this only works with static ranges.
In the data validation source field for cell#2 I have the following formula: =IF($A$1="",the_full_range,INDIRECT($A$1))
I am trying to automatically construct a unique consolidated lists from several other lists. I want this to be formulated in such a way that the mother list is uptodate and reflect all changes made to the subsidiary lists. I have attached an example of what I am trying to achieve.
I am hoping to have, on another sheet, a series of dependent drop boxes- Year, Quarter, Month, SKU- which after selecting then displays 'dataA' & 'dataB'.
So you could select- List 1: 2013 ----> List 2: Q1 ----> List 3: Jan ----> SD-21.................and then 13% and 0.05% are displayed.
The data will be continuously added to and so needs to be based on a dynamic data range.
I know that a pivot table is the perfect way to do this, however my bosses have requested that I do not use that format so it is easy for all staff to access.
So I think I need to construct some sort of dashboard sheet, I have experimented with OFFSET from other posts, but so far have had no joy.
how best to do this (bare with me I'm not quite a pro at excel yet!). I'll attach my doc (JMP Excel Forum) so you know what I'm taking about. I've set up the data to work in a similar way to this, as you can see I've a table set up (Appliance Sheet) which feeds information to the Main Sheet which contains the drop down lists.
What I need it to do is autofill the wattage column (Main!F8 onwards) with the wattage for the device as described in Appliance!N3 or N4 for example. For the wattage column to equal 28 (equivalent to Appliance!N3) then the following would show in the dropdown selections Type>Computers SubCategory>Monitors Device>BENQ G2222HDL Status>On
Is there a way to do this with the set up I have?
I did have a previous version of the whole worksheet that each Device had its own table and I looked up the wattage using and If formula to lookup a info on the device and knowing where to look it up based on the subcategory
And I got it to work but it was getting to cumbersome to add in new devices and update the formulas. If attached that doc (OLD) so you know what I'm talking about. The last two sheets are the same sheets that make up the new document (JMP Excel Forum)OLD.xlsm
I really prefer the new way I've got it set up. Its easier to add new information or options to the dropdown list
Is it possible to have a formula that generate a Unique list (List 1 and List 2) of Missing values in List 2 by comparing two lists? Something like this
List 1 List 2 Missing in List 2 1 1 3 3 4 6 5 5 6 6
I am trying to create 4 pull down menus. Menus 1, 2, 3, 4. Menu 1 is the top menu, menu 2 will only show certain information based on what was chosen on menu 1. Menu 3 will show certain information based on what was chosen in 2 and 4, again, will only show certain information based on what was chosen in 3. Sort of how the menus on autotrader work, if you chose audi it will only show audi vehicles, although not for the same purpose, or even the same industry. I am using Excel 2007, it might matter. I have attached an xls file that shows the information I am using and below that the basic progression, I haven't listed it all, but you should get the general idea.
I'm using Excel 2007 and am trying to set up 3 columns of drop-down lists each dependent on the choice selected in the previous column's selection. It seems like it would be easy to figure out but I can't seem to do it.
I've already set up the arrays for the lists and "named" them but can't get the cell to be formatted automatically according to the previous columns selection.
I have three drop-down boxes in 3 adjacent columns. Column 1 is free-choice, Columns 2 and 3 drop-downs are variable dependent on what is in Column 1. That works fine.
I have an issue with over-type but I can solve that with protection. Again fine.
BUT:
1. How do I make the user choose something i.e. not just leave the cell in column 2 or 3 blank by ignoring it (i.e. blank is an error but only after drop-down in column 1 is activated)
2. Also, if the user has completed the line (columns 1,2 and 3) and then changes column 1, columns 2 and 3 are now reading from the incorrect drop-down boxes (i.e. they are now in error but this is accepted and not flagged).
In the drop-down menu in col D I select the value “Egress”, then the drop-down list in col E is populated with the values of EgressCol. Now I select a value, lets say “Cash payment”. If at a later time I change the value of col D, lets say to “Ingress”, then “Cash payment” in col E doesn’t match the values available for IngressCol (the correspondent dynamic list for the Ingress value).
I need a conditional formatting formula that checks whether the value in col E is listed in the corresponding list of the value selected in col D. Request: I found this formula that works fine, but it gets Excel to work really slow.
On sheet 1 I enter data such as: Visit Date | Customer Name | Customer Number | Job Number | Product
On Sheet 2 i have a list of our 130 products which would be similar to '1130Tots Standard 24" ' I have made these as a list so we can choose from the list using data validation.
Now, out of the 130 products we have about 4 main different Catagories - Tots Direct, Tots RTS, Direct, RTS. - I could put what category they are in in a column next to the list on Sheet 2.
What i would like to happen is if e.g. a product is chosen from the drop down list, it could look in the cell in the column next to it and see what Catagory it is in and format the entire row on Sheet 1.
E.g. Direct changes colour to grey, Tots RTS to Pink, Tots Direct to Grey/Pink stripes, RTS stays standard no colour.
A bit of a development on a question i asked last week to cut out another stage. Currently people have to enter the product, then choose in the next column whether is is Direct, RTS, Tots Direct, Tots RTS then conditional formating will colour the rows. - Want to know if it is possible to do this all in 1 go by selecting the product from the list.
Just wondering if a drop down list can be specific to a selection made in a previous cell. For example in column A the user would select either:
Weekly Monthly Other
Then in column B, the drop down list would be conditional upon what was selected in A. So if the user selected 'Weekly' - the drop down list in B would be: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. Or if the user selected 'Monthly' in column A's list, the list in column B would be: 1, 2, 3, ......31.
I am trying to find unique values on one page and copy/paste them on another page (all within one workbook). I tried to use advanced filter, but ran on some problems: i) it does not copy values on to the new page ii) it is not dynamic.
my information is entered on a daily basis, which is why I need the filter (or code) to be dynamic. The information, however, is not stored, but rather generates a daily invoice, this is why I want find only unique values to appear on a new page (invoice).
I have a sheet of un-ordered data with duplicates. Looks a little like this:
Sheet2 * A B
[Code]....
What I want to do is: on a separate sheet, when the user inputs a Region name, it will return an array of unique Locations under that Region. For example, if the input is "NORTHEAST", the following would be returned:
I have a list of dates and I want sort them by growth, also only to show the values after specific dates. I know how to do it with Macro, I just need list changing dynamically.
