Create Dropdown List / Checkboxes That Pull Data Associated With Selected Value?
Jul 13, 2012
I have a sheet with data that is associated with a month or season. I need to create a drop down list or check boxes on another sheet that will allow me to select the data associated with the month or season that is chosen.
For instance, on Sheet1, I have Summer-12 as the label in cell A1, and the data associated with it in cell A3:AH15. Winter-12 is in cell A18 and the data associated with it is in B20:31.
This goes on for 3 years of data.
I need a drop down list or check boxes on sheet2 where I can select one or multiple seasons and then the associated data for those seasons appear in order.
I am trying to create a document that runs a scenario based on the two drop down choices selected that determines which worksheet in the workbook autopopulates over to sheet one based on the selection. I tried doing an if statement but did not have any luck.
I have an (organization) work book that contains departments in different tab with each department having its own tab. In each tab is the employee name, dept manager, dept number and emp number. In the CoverSheet (main sheet) I want to put the department numbers in a drop down menu.Upon selection of a department number i want to Look in the whole workbook to see where the department number is, pull up the department head and all the employees in that department with their employee numbers
The reason for this is that I want to be able to add a button to delete/edit to be able to edit employee details centrally from this particular (CoverSheet) sheet and update the relevant sheet.
Also put in an input box to add employees and update the relevant tab (department)
I am doing a spreadsheet where I have 1 main sheet and 2 sheets with data.On the main sheet I have a drop down list to select either one of the 2 sheets and upon selecting,all the data from that selected sheet will be displayed on the main sheet.
I want to make a dropdown populated with checkboxes, where multiple boxes can be checked at once. A dropdown won't work because I want to check multiple lines.
I am using VBA and have an array to populate the checkbox dropdown, but I don't know how to make a dropdown filled with checkboxes at all, even manually in excel. A column of checkboxes won't work because there could be hundreds and I don't want to have to dynamically format the contents of the rest of the page.
if there was a way to automatically add each student to a class list as their information is inputted. What i mean is, after input Sally Student in the main enrollment list she would automatically go to the class list for the class she has chosen.
I have attached a sample workbook with my desired results. Basically what i want to do is make this easier for those in charge to get the class lists from the main list without having to copy and past all the time.
I am in the process of creating a database, and have used 'Data Validation' to create drop down lists in order to obtain information quickly from the database.
I have encountered an issue where if I have a list the resembles the one shown below, the drop down list will show spaces.
This is particularly an issue for myself and my database because there is over 1,000 items in the list, and there are countless empty cells within the list. I have tried sorting the list, BUT because the database is quite large, sorting it will disrupt other functions of the database.
Ideally, I would like the drop down list to show only entries within the list that are not empty so the drop down list is entirely relevant, and more user friendly.
I'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 two worksheet. One worksheet is a form where in the Field Door No. should be a dropdown list. The list will be retrieve from worksheet Source. Now upon selecting a specific Door No. it should also autopopulate the respective Type, Brand, Serial No., and Type.
First thing i need to know is what should i do on Cell B1 worksheet Form for it to be a drop down list retrieving the Column A on worksheet Source.
Second, upon selecting for example ATC0009 on the drop-down, it should auto-populate like these
Door No. ATC0009 Type AT Crane Brand A Serial 43679 Type Crane
=IF(A2="","",IF(INDEX('JOBNAME Time Cards'!K:K,(ROWS($1:1)-1)*7+1)="No TV","","X"))
The idea is basically, if on another page at specific cells there is a value of 'No TV', there will be an empty cell - otherwise there will be an X.
In the past this has worked fine, but now that I've changed the way the 'No TV' cell works to be a dropdown of options, it no longer works. Even though 'No TV' is selected from the dropdown, the value is still X.
I have a drop down list of locations, which when one is selected I would like to show an abbreviated version in a different cell (say B5). I have tried the following so far:
=IF(A5 = "London", "LON")
But I would need to do this for around 30 locations and would need the abbreviated version in the same cell.
I am trying to copy/extract row of data from worksheet(Detail)A:W to worksheet(1st Letter) if X=1st Letter on worksheet(Detail). I have never used VBA and i am not sure if this can be done with a formula.
i have a dropdown list called SN (for serial numbers). items are abc001-abc100. i would like to remove an item once ive selected it. i.e. if i have chosen abc001 on the first row, when i go to the next row and open the dropdown list, abc001 should not be there anymore. this is for me to avoid duplicate listing of the items.
Is it possible to update certain rows only based on the choice selected from a dropdown list
I shall explain this scenario
I have attached a small excel sheet called TESTTHEM which i'm testing and learning excel simultaneously. On the attached sheet
If i select a value in B4 as BusinessLogic, it should then lookup for relevent rows in MISC worksheet and copy C5:L5 from MISC worksheet and replace the columns G4:P4
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 Macro to pull from a list and then update the charts and print. I have a list that has over 100 clients. I believe I need to loop but I am not familiar with VBAs at all. Below is what I am trying to accomplish.
I have a drop down box on a worksheet and once I have selected the item I want from the list, I would like the price of that item to appear in the cell next to it..
I have an excel form with a command (submit) button that opens up Outlook when clicked. I am looking for a way to have this submit button disappear when the user selects a specific item in a drop down list to make sure they do not email the form when it is used for a promotion (Promotion would be selected in the drop down).
I'm looking for a macro to jump to and select a cell if it matches the text in another cell based on a drop down list. So I have a drop down list in cell c57 and a form control search button right next to it. I want the user to be able to select from the drop down, click search and then jump to the cell that matches what they selected. I would like the macro to search from B:60 - B629.
I have a product list where each row of the worksheet has an image, product details and suggested lists/retails for each local currency.
Some products are not available in certain countries and each market doesn't care to see the other market info. (There are hundreds of items and dozens of countries.)
How can I create a drop down selector so that a user can choose their market, i.e. "Australia," and only the rows and columns relevant to them appear?
Can this be done without macros,? This sheet is distributed among 100+ people and needs to work for lowest common denominator.
I am looking to write a code to lock/unlock cells based on values selected using a drop down list (see attached Excel) For example if Netherlands is chosen as the Country (Column A), then except for the columns Amsterdam (column B) and Eindhoven (column C), all other columns must be locked. Similarly, if India is chosen as the country from the drop down list, then only the columns New Delhi and Mumbai must be editable for the user, the rest of the columns remain locked.
I tried tweaking some of the lock/unlock codes around, but got lost especially with getting to run the macro - still trying to come to terms with running a "Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange" function in the sheet from "Module"!
I am trying to figure out how to create a drop down list on one page of a workbook with the list of items for the drop down list located on a separate worksheet within the same workbook.
I have a workbook with one spreadsheet with a list of items on it (sheet1/ingredients) and the rest of the worksheets would have the drop down list of items from sheet1/ingredients.
I have been trying to use the validation method with no luck - I just can't seem to get the source path right.
If possible I would also like the drop down list of ingredients to be self updating - the ability to continue to add items to the list and show up in the drop down lists.
When the value in the drop down window is selected I would really like / need to have the data populated in the rows to the right of the drop down window.
While asking is there any sort of auto complete so that one can start typing in the box and the ingredients that start with those letters show up to select from? (Such as if type EVA or EVAP --- then all words starting with EVA or EVAP appear instead of the entire list?)
I would like to know if there's a way to create a checkbox list in a cell that influences other cells:
For example, I would have column A as "Materials Accepted", and each cell would have a dropdown list with the options "Wood", "Drywall", and "Metal", in checkbox format. Then to the right of that, I would have each of the Materials as actual columns so that column B is "Wood", column C is "Drywall", and column D is "Metal".
The way I would want it to work from there is that whatever options I select from the dropdown, it would then put a TRUE flag in that column. So if I select "Wood" and "Metal" on the dropdown checkbox list, columns B and D would both read TRUE on that particular row.
Here is a screenshot of a mockup I did in paint - [URL]
Basically on each row, I would select a number of Materials, and the following columns for those Materials would populate TRUE for the ones that I selected on that row. This was just an example, but I would scale this up to around 30 Materials for hundreds of rows/entries.
Attempting to use INDIRECT function to create dependent data validation list (Type). The tricky part is that the drop down options are dependent on the values of two (2) cell values (Brand and Country).
I have used the INDIRECT function before but dependent on ONE cell value only.
I am trying to create 2 drop-down lists (based on named ranges), where the contents of the second selection change based on the first selection. On one sheet, I have a list of equipment that is quite long, but is broken up by categories. I have named ranges for all the category names, and the equipment in each category. On the other sheet (user side) I made the first drop down the list of categories, and would like the 2nd drop down to be the pieces of equipment that correspond with the chosen category. I have tried using data validation and nesting IF formulas, but it only works for the first 4-5 categories, bc my formula is longer than the Source field allows in Data Validation. Any other way I can make this work? Can I use a macro for this? If so, how to write it as this would be my first macro
I've created a range B3:B12 in which each cell returns TRUE of FALSE. There corresponding values are listed in C3:C12. I have the same thing again in D3:D12 and E3:E12. Checkboxes link to the TRUE/FALSE cells. Attached is a stripped down file to show this.
I want to create a formula that lists each item in the one cell (no spaces required inbetween) for use with a search. I know a long winded way to do this involving many IFs but any array will be much more tidier, thing is I hardly use arrays and have struggled with this one.
I'm thinking it will be along the lines of =IF(B3:B12="TRUE",C3:C12,"")&IF(D3:D12="TRUE",E3:E12,"") but exactly what it should be is beyond me.
EDIT: The original file attached was corrupt for some reason, the new attachedment is the same except instead of TRUE/FALSE cells I've set them to 'x' for quickness (lost my work...!).
