I am trying to do 2 things involving data validation. 1) Count the number of entries in a data validation dropdown list and display a result. 2) Use an If statement to pull the formatting from a cell into another cell.
An example would be if Cell A1="A", then show the drop down list associated with cell or sheet "!ryanB2". Alternatively, I would like to also display the number of entries in the drop down list.
I am trying to pull data from more than one drop down but don't the same data to show if already use, example as follow:
First drop down Contains:- Pants
Shirts
Hats
Shoes
Dresses
if I chose Hats it should not show up in the second drop down
second drop down Contains:- Pants
Shirts
Shoes
Dresses
Is this done in data validation or combo Box? if so how?
VBA which would count data in Column F of dump Sheet and paste the count in master sheet B2 Cell.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'd like to create a drop down list in data validation from a column of data that contains numerous duplicates.
For example, let's say column A contained hundreds of transactions with either North, South, East and West, how could I create a drop down list in another cell that only had four selection options?
I have a database (spreadsheet) which has 3 to 4 dozen columns of data. This data is in Sheet 2. On sheet one I would like to have a form which organizes the data on one sheet from sheet 2. I would like to have a drop down box to select the country. Once country is selected all data to the right of country would then be automatically filled on Sheet 1. see attached example.

it works ok for me in 2007(either thro dropdown or direct input) but user with excel 2003 cant get it to work at all, named range "drop" is just A B C D and is used in data validation dropdown col A
I have created several records, each record is in it's own row. I'd like for the row to be displayed if the name of that row is selected in a drop down. How can this be accomplished? I've attached the spreadsheet to show my current progress. When a player is selected in a drop down, I would like for that players record to be displayed below the drop down.

I have a list on one worksheet and I use a dropdown list from Data Validation to select the name required.
My list is so long that I would like to be able to type a letter or two to access to the name quicker instead of scrolling down.
I copied a formula that worked for someone else that put this formula in the data validation
(IF(I36<>"",OFFSET(Player,MATCH(I36&"*",Player,0)-1,,SUMPRODUCT((MID(Player,1,LEN(I36))=TEXT(I36,"0"))*1)),Player))
I do not wish to use VBA is possible.
I am currently stuck with a drop down list problem. I am trying to make a benchmarking solution for a group of 20 stores. All stores sell products uniformly and their sales are displayed in percentages of the cumulative total. Currently there is a benchmarking page where all stores sales per product is displayed, however I would like the ability to select specific stores data from a drop down list. I have pictures displaying the basic concept of what I want to achieve.

On the left a list of products and the quantities sold in percentages per store for benchmarking purposes.
What I would like to achieve relates to the drop down list on sheet 2.
store 1.PNG
Here store 1 can see its sales in percentages, and has a drop down list to compare to different stores. If store 3 is selected I would like the data to be pulled into that column from the benchmarking sheet and the same goes for the other stores of course.
We've got a dropdown box (data validation - list) which is picking up data from a specific column. The data in the column is in the following format:
1 Sales
2 Contracts
18 Opening Stock
27 Purchase
etc
When we select an entry from the dropdown box the cell obviously displays both the number and the text description to the right. What we need it to do is just display the number after selecting an item from the list. The text is descriptive and to make it easier for users. Is there a way of configuring the dropdown box (or another way) so that say if a user selects "1 Sales" from the dropdown it just displays "1" in the cell.
I have a query with data validation.....
Can I have a cell rage.. say A2:E20...and every cell in it has a drop down data validation list, from data inputted into L2:L27 (For examples lets say L2 is A, L3 is B, L4 is C, L5 is D and so on).
if somewhere in the range A2:E20, say B6 I was to select D from the drop down list, I want the remainder of the cells in range A2:E20, to have the drop down list without the value D in it, and so on, so the more cells in the range I fill from the list, the list for empty cells gets smaller and smaller until there are none left.
I'd like to create a data validation with 1 dropdown list in the second worksheet in B4, relating to 3 cell ranges on the first worksheet (COS, Expenses & Capital). If 3 can't work, I've created 1 called 'dropdown' which incorporates all 3.
which formula I need to write into the validation, or what else I need to do in order to find a solution to this.
I have a drop down that provides all of the sheet name in the workbook. When the user selects a sheet name, I would like specific cells to pull data from the sheet name selected. What I thought would work is =Sheetname(A1)!E3 where the cell would pull data from cell E3 from the drop down sheetname in A1

I am trying to create a drop down menu in Excel to display certain values but it's not working. I want to input certain data in the cells. eg, 019, Quebec, Agent, Direct etc. I want to create a drop down list where if 019 is selected, all 019 entries would show up hiding all others. When nothing is selected all values would show up. I created a list but if I have 10 "Agent" entries in the cells, the drop down list also shows 10 "Agent entries rather than letting me select "Agent" and then displaying all agent entries below. I don't know if it makes sense but I basically want to make it easier for people to look for certain entries that they need rather than going through the entire spreadsheet to find all 019's.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to add two drop down menus - part number and material description. I would like to be able to choose an item from either menu and have it populate the rest of the row with the item information.
I know how to create the drop down, but I don't know how to make it work so I can choose from either one of the two drop downs and have the other automatically populate.
Most of the information I need I am getting using standard web queries. But pulling data directly from drop down menus seems beyond the capabilities of a regular web query.
I only need the information that shows as the menu options. I don't need any information from the pages at those links. Nor do I need the links.
Actually all I really need is the option value information, and the date. So for the first item, I would be looking for, 7|2014|u 06/18/2014
I am attempting to create an inventory database with a corresponding "pull sheet" that will extract from the inventory list. I have built my inventory list and created a "material usage" worksheet to act as a "pull sheet".
The problem in which I am having is pulling data from the inventory list to automatically fill in the corresponding 2 cells next to it when selected from a drop down list.
I have tried VLOOOKUP & HLOOKUP but the filtering is not intense enough to pull the right data that is corresponding to the data I need. Is there a way to group the 3 rows together so when you choose the first row the next 2 will automatically be filled correctly?
All of a sudden, the data vaildation dropdown boxes on a specific worksheet have disappeared. The list reference is still correct and the data validation dropdowns work just fine on other sheets in the same workbook. (BTW-I'm using Excel 2003 and the panes are not frozen).
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow to populate data in non-adjacent cells from information that is stored on another sheet. Sheet 1 is essentially setup to be visually pleasing to the user, but the data stored behind it is on another sheet stored in a more logical manner. I would like to auto-populate the nicely formatted sheet with information from sheet 2 when an item from a drop-down list is selected. I have found quite a few ways to do this using offset, etc. but in my case the values will be pulled into cells that are spread around the design sheet in no set order.

What I am looking for, is an automated utility or code that will allow excel to automatically move entire rows once a task is completed and can be moved to another sheet. In Prospects sheet I have a column for " Stage" and here you have to select from a drop down menu, either "Prospect", "Contacted" "quoted" "WON" "LOST" What I would like, is that once you have selected one of the sales stage, the entire row or entry, will be automatically moved to the right tab from the "prospects" to a new sheet according to each stage.

I want to use excel to create quotations for customers. (currently doing it in word)
Tab 1 is the quote, has 4 columns, part number, description, cost, yearly maintenance
Tab 2 has all the things we sell, part number, description, cost, yearly maintenance. 150 lines.
So, Tab 1, description column is a drop down box from Tab 2. Working fine.
Question. When an item is selected from the drop down, how do I get it to then bring from tab 2 the part number, cost and yearly maintenance.
I have a very detailed spreadsheet with drop down lists. I would like to block other cells if previous cells have certain selections. I have 7 columns of data that get inputted throughout the month. These cells have drop down selections that I have created. Is there any way to create a drop down menu AND another data validation? So If a selection is made, then the next cells will be blocked, using data validation "custom"?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt is basically a simple sheet that lists the price (Column C) of different items (Column B) based on their Category (Column A).
I am trying to have an automated pricing sheet (on different sheet) utilizing data validation and drop down lists.
For example each row should have this, the drop down list in the first columns should list all the Categories available (This part works fine for me and i can take care of the duplicates).
Once that has been selected, i have now the option of selecting using drop down list also (in second column) the items corresponding to the Category selected in first column (Only the items that are part of that specific category should be listed in the drop down list).
Once the item has been selected, the price of that respective item should be listed automatically in the 3rd column.
Creating a drop down menu that allows me to pull data from sheet2.

how to create a drop down menu that will have a list of all the different studies, and then once the specific study is selected, how do I make it display the pertaining information in the master sheet.

The data I’m working with is a master list of different drug studies. All of the data is broken down by the specific study itself, so all I need to do is figure out a way to let the user access the data in a quick and easy way. I figured this could be down with a drop down menu that has a list of each study, and the user could select the study they want to review. Once selected, the data pertaining to the study would then populate the fields on the master silde(sheet1).
