Create A Drop-down List To Run Macro
Oct 19, 2006
I'm able to create a simple User form Drop-down list that references a cell range list. ( as a test for myself) I have 4 separate macros I would like to run individually. Rather than create 4 separate buttons, I'd like to be able to select each one via Drop-Down list.

This is what I'm trying to do:
1. When a user clicks on a Drop down box and selects "Add New", I would like a Macro to run
2. I want this Macro to open up a Dialog/Text box to say "Enter New Information" where the user can enter in some text
3. The text that is entered by the user into this box will be added as a new entry into the Drop down box selection
My VBA knowledge is still at a beginner's level and I know how to get a Macro to run based on a cell value. However I don't know how to create a Macro for the dialog box nor do I know how to create a Macro for updating the drop-down items.

I do not know how to create a drop down list to ensure the user inputs only the values from that list. Once I figure this out I would love to add a drop down calender for a cell as well.

I would like to create a list with reference to IF (E1:E150=1) list F1:F150
No Blanks. Cells E1:E150 will be either a 1 or a blank.
The new list will be created in cells Y5:Y whatever. List will then become a drop down list.
I have created the list but it has blanks between names and I just want the names....

In Column A I have a list of Products and in Column B is the list of corresponding prices. I'd like to create a drop down list with the items in Column A that would automatically fill-in the pricing from Column B next to it. I've tried using an IF statement, but my product list is too long.

I'm using dependent drop-down lists. In the first box the user can choose a color which drives a set of options in the second box. (e.g. User selects "Red" and in the second dropdown they can then choose "Red A", "Red B", "Red C", etc.). Right now, if you select "Orange", it will still show "Red A" from the previous selection until the user selects the dropdown in the dependent box to refresh the list of options. Is there a way to make it so that second dropdown box will default to "Orange A"?
I tried writing some code to do this, but I can't seem to make it work. I've attached my file.

I am making a spreadsheet for food and calories, On sheet one i have a meal tracker, I want to have a drop down list in colum 1 that references the food list on sheet 2, column A=food, column B=Protien, column C=Carbs, column D=fat. The values from Sheet 2 columns B-D would then be inserted into Sheet A in the respective slots. I have fiddled with vlookup and tried numerous things but I can't seem to figure this out.

I am trying to create a drop down list so that when the user choose Option A, Outcome A populates the cell.
So for example, I am looking to show a list of all Grades within the company, when the user selects a grade, the salary is populated into the cell.

I have a list of jobs being displayed using the following code. All sheet names that start with AJ, CJ and PJ within the workbook are how the list is created.
Sub ListSheets()
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim lRow As Long
Dim rCell As Range
With Sheet1
Set rCell = .Cells(2, 12)
End With
For Each sht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Select Case UCase(Left(sht.Name, 2))
Case Is = "AJ", "CJ", "PJ"
lRow = lRow + 1
rCell(lRow, 1) = sht.Name
Case Else
End Select
Next sht
End Sub
what i want to do is create a drop list within each job sheet within the workbook that will display the names of the jobs above. Now the thing is I cannot choose the range like normal from data - validation - list as I will not know how many job names will be displayed so I dont know how many cells to include in the range.

I need to create a 'sub' list from a drop down list.
I have 8 categories in a drop down list in column A, but i need column B to also have a drop down list of sub categories depending on what category is selected in column A.
And once column B is populated, i need column C to auto populate with a value. All data is stored on the spreadsheet.

I'm trying to create a drop down list which returns values based on what has been selected in the previous drop down list in the adjacent cell, e.g. if 'Apples' is selected in the previous cell then you should only be able to select from 'Gala, Granny Smith', or if 'Oranges' is selected you should only be able to select 'Seville, Blood Orange'. Is there a formula which would do this, or can I use a pivot table somehow? I'm totally stumped.

I need to have a drop down list which displays a different set of values depending upon the value selected by a previous drop down list. ie. (drop down box 1)= x, y, z. (drop down box 2)= either x1, x2, x3, or y1, y2, y3, or z1, z2, z3. I can produce a single drop down box thats not a problem but linking several drop down boxes is beyond me .

When someone makes ANY selection from my drop-down list, I would like my macro to run so that the user can continue to fill in the rest of the form. My macro simply unhides some rows as below:
Sub UnhideForm()
Application.EnableCancelKey = xlDisabled
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="Testing"
Rows("15:112").Select
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = False
Range("Name").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="edit"
End Sub
Here's some info you might need:My sheet is called "Form"
My macro is called "UnhideForm"
My drop-down list is in the array called "TypeOfMoveCell"
I have 5 dropdown options (which includes an option called "Please select from list...") These options are located in cells BW145:BW148.
I would also like the macro to re-hide the data rows if someone deletes the value in the drop-down list, or if someone re-selects "Please select from list..." option.

I have a macro which output depence on the variable input. Input is represented by drop-down list. Before, I was choosing input from drop-down, then pressing the button my macro was running. Now, I'm thinking to if it's possible to exclude a spare operation from button pressing, just by clicking from drop-down.
My drop-down list is created through "Data->Validation->List box"

I am using INDIRECT to create a second dynamic drop down list (L1) that is based on the cell contents of a first drop down list (I1). I want to create a macro that will blank the 2nd drop down list ONLY when the choice in the first list is CHANGED. I have the following, but it blanks the second list as soon as the first list is clicked on, rather than when a change is made:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Not Intersect(Range("I1"), Target) Is Nothing Then Range("L1").ClearContents
End Sub

I have tried to create a macro which prints the results of each heading in a drop down box. The listfill range is from B2 to B5 and the linked cell is B1. When manually recording the macro, i copy the heading from B2 into B1, the drop down list updates which in turn updates the cells which are linked to that, i then print out the page. The same happens when i copy-paste cells B3, B4, & B5 into B1. I then return finish the macro by copying B2 into B1.
But when i run the macro, the copy paste works but the drown down list doesnt update, therefore it doesnt update my linked cells so i acutally end up printing 5 indentical pages with the same info.
Is there anything i can do to get around this?
Macro listed below:
Sub copypasteprint()
Range("B2").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("B2").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range("B1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("E5").Select...........

I have a macro that would create a hyperlink for every one of the files in a folder that a specific cell gave the url address for.
Recently I got moved to a new pc and forgot to migrate my macro's over. In combing back through previous threads... I found the macro, but now it won't work.
[Code] ......
The error that I get is:
Compile error:
Invalid use of property
I get this error at row
Range (Cells(Rows.count, "U").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Address)
Why did the macro used to work and not anymore?

In Excel I recorded a macro by carrying out some operations and then copied the code into VBA code window to the click event of a button expecting the code would operate well but in vain. What is wrong with my operations? By cliking command button placed on a userform I want to copy the date of one column to another and the data thus copied into another column should contain only unique value.

I need a Macro to create a unique, rolling data list. On Sheet 1, a report is pasted(from outside source) in cell A3(Rows 1 & 2 are headers) on a weekly basis. It is always the same amount of columns wide(138). The number of rows will always vary but will never be more than 500.
Here’s what I need for Sheet 2:
-Column A should be a copy from Column A on Sheet 1 (data is ITEMS)
-Column B should be a copy from Column BH on Sheet 1 (data is QUANTITY of items)
-Column C should be a copy from Column BI on Sheet 1 (data is PRICE of items)
Here’s the challenge (when the new report is pasted on Sheet 1):
-Sheet 1. Find new ITEMS not on Sheet 2 and paste them at the end of the report on Sheet 2 along with their QUANTITY and PRICE
-Sheet 1. Find any ITEMS already on Sheet 2, then update new QUANTITY and PRICE from Sheet 1 onto Sheet 2
-Sheet 2. Leave ITEMS alone that are now missing from the new report on Sheet 1

My problem is to create a macro that will list all folders, subfolders and files in an order in excel. So that I know which folders and files belong to which main folder, more like a hierarchy.
For example,
Sourcefolder
Subfolder 1
File1
I have code that list all files in folders and subfolders, but it does not put them in a hierarchy fashion.

I am trying to create a fairly simple spreadsheet with about 8 columns and about 400 rows. One of the columns features a drop-down list with about 8 or 9 different options. Dependant on which option is selected, i would like the entire row to change colour with that option.
For example:
FAILED - whole row changes red
SUCCESSFUL - row has no fill
Tested - row changes to orange
etc.
Is this possible within Excel 2003?
