Creating Price Calculator Using Dropdown Boxes For Multiple BOMs
Apr 22, 2014
I am trying to create a price calculator for a particular product line which has multiple sizes and configurations. I would like to use drop down boxes so the user can select the size, type and attachments which will be narrowed down by the previous selections.
I would like the formula to be able to calculate the cost of the components based on the selections made. Based on some research I believe this can be achieved using data validation, indirect function and the vlookup function, however; I'm not quite sure how to go about this.
I have attached the document I have started for reference.
I have dropdown boxes in cells B11,B14,B17,B20,B26,B29,B32,B41,B44 of my worksheet. I would like to use a command button that can reset all dropdown values to blank.
I'm trying to incorporate multiple conditional (Dynamic?) drop down boxes to enable me to get an appropriate code at the end of the process. This will be used to product data entry and the code will tell Amazon where to post the product. I have many thousands of codes that i need to access and the easiest and most accurate way is to break down everything in to category and sub categories until I eventually get the code I want for that specific product.
To return this code I would want to select Clothing, which returns a list which includes baby which in turn will give me a list that includes baby girls and so on and so on until I can select Tracksuit bottoms that will return the code.
Each list is dependent on the previous choice
As I have thousand and thousand of potential codes creating range list for each potential category and sub categories is not really feasible and would be very difficult to maintain when changes occur.
With this in mind I have created a code list that breaks the above example so that each category is now in it's own cell and there can be upto 8 (as I've seen so far) potential conditional categories before you return the code and ideally I would like to use this as it very easy to create and update. (see attached)
I might be able to use filters to return the appropriate list each time but don't know where to begin.
I want to select more than one drop down box at the same time, and copy them as well as rename the cells they refer to.
For example: in A1 there will be a box with LinkedCell set to A1 and ListFillRange set to B1:B5. I now want a similar box in A2, with A2 as LinkedCell. However, when I copy past the box in A1, it still refers to A1 and B1:B5 (the last part is ok). I can easily change A1 to A2 by just changing it in the properties, but the thing is that I also need these boxes in A3:A100. Is there any faster way of changing this?
Also, the ListFillRange might expand in the future. Therefor I would like to know if its possible to select the boxes in A1:A100 and change the ListFillRange to B1:B6 for all at once.
I have 3 dropdown boxes I created using the control toolbox which pull corresponding information from 3 different columns. I would like to be able to format them so that upon data entry in the first dropdown box, the subsequent two boxes auto populate with the corresponding data. Currently I have to select the information for each dropdown box manually.
I would like to be able to create multiple check boxes that will accomplish 2 things.
1. When Checked will display a date in the cell one column to the right. 2. When checked will change colors
Secondly, since i will need to make several hundred of these I would like a macro that will allow me to define how the check box is to behave and then have a macro which will allow me to define all of the settings and then input the number of check boxes that I want and it will create that many boxes.
I recall seeing a macro on here some time ago (at least 1 month prior but no more than 6 months prior) which allowed you to type into a form how many check boxes or option boxes you wanted to create in your workbook, and then it would create that many.
I am trying to make a drop down list and based on what I select from the drop down needs to populate a different drop down list with information based on what I select.
For example: if I have Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4. Inside of Sheet4 (My Main Sheet) I have a Data Validation (Drop Down list) in Cell A5 and Cell B5
I would like to choose Sheet1 from Cell A5 and in that same sheet (Sheet4) in Cell B5 I want to have a drop down with a list of names that are located in Sheet1 in Column A:A. Or If I would've picked Sheet2 in Cell A5 of (Sheet4), I would like to see a drop down with a list of names in Cell B5 (Sheet4) that are on Sheet2 in Column A:A . Is this possible?
So far I could achive it if information I want is located on the same Sheet. But I need it to work if info is located on different Sheets
I have six colums (Date; Skill; ST Hrs; OT hrs: Area; Type). I copied and pasted below a small portion of info from the spreadsheet. I know when I copy and paste into a post the information under the headers don't line up exactly...it appears offset, so basically "Date" is of course the date you see..."Skill"'s columns has the first item as nb-mech b..."ST Hrs" first item will be 0.00..."OT Hrs" will be 1.50...."Area"'s first item is "Log FM NO"....and "Type"'s first item is MX07
And there are 17,000 rows of this info and forever growing...a lot of repeated items in each column such as you can see "blaster" has multiple entries on 4/1/2012.
What I am attempting to do which I have not firgured out yet (i have tried array formulas but they bog down the pc forver and couldn't figure out exactly how to make it give me the results I needed...and I also tried sumproducts but that didnt get me what I wanted....and it is being requested of me to NOT make a pivot table but a chart.
What I am trying to create is is the following:
1 - cells to plug in a date range for example cell A1 I plug 4/1/2012 and cell A2 plug 4/30/2012 2 - drop down boxes for columns Skill; Area: Type, which show only unique records in each column
Once I have that, I could then filter all 3 itmes and have only items show in the date ranges I picked and present ONLY the SUMS of columns ST Hrs and OT hrs.
Once the SUMS show up, I can then have cells off to the side that will give a percent break down of what percent of the total hours (for the chose criteria) are ST Hrs and what percent of the total are OT Hrs....and this percentage break down will show up in a Bar Chart, per day chosen in my date ranges....I'm thinking one simple stacked bar per day in the chart.
So say, based on the info below, I wanted to see the total ST Hrs and OT Hrs from 4-1-12 to 4-2-12 for a nb-blaster in LOG FM NO and type MX06.....my result would be 0.00 ST Hrs...23 OT Hrs.....and my bar chart would be one simple bar peaked out at 23 on day 4-1-12.....and within the bar it would be 0.00% ST Hrs and 100% OT Hrs and maybe the total hours for each showing also..don't need that but it may be useful.. ..and no bar for 4-2-12 (because the criteria picked had no hours for 4-2-12)
I have been messign witht is all week and just can't nail it.. I do remember a while ago I would have been able to load the spreadsheet into the post and people could see it in excel...is that option to do that no longer on this site?
I am trying to create a macro that will create a number of check boxes, which are linked different cells. I have had some success in creating multiple check boxes and having them at the destination I want the problem is that instead of linking to different cells they are all linked to the same cell. I have attached a sample workbook SAMPLE.xlsx
I'm very new to excel, my boss request me to create a discount calculator. A cost of price is given. We have a fix discount rate of 5% of that cost value. Some new customer want more percent of discount to the item they purchase. To deal with that, a markup price will be quoted then we will make a discount according to what the customer prefer but the final discounted value will be always be the discounted 5% of our cost value. I've problem creating it because as example; the customer request for 15% discount, when I add the cost + 10% then minus it back to 15%, the value I get will no be the same of the fixed reduced 5% value of my cost value.
I have a very elaborate excel file that will calculate a price for our customized product. The user enters figures into about 15 fields, and hundreds of calculations take place and give the user a unit-price for that item.
Further, this excel workbook contains 3 queries to our enterprise database that get updated on opening.
What I want is to have a front-end GUI form that the user accesses like an html page that can be viewed internally by only users withing the intranet.
The main point here is that I have very sensitive information in the workbook. The last thing I want is for it to be emailed to our competition. Protection is not an option either, because I heard it can be easily cracked.
I want my user to access the excel spreadsheet without ever getting their hands on the original.
Maybe this thing should have been written in some other software package all along, but this is what I have to deal with.
I have a price list with type & price, I want do a drop down list for type (this is solve), so when i select list at type, the cell I want it show price.
I have a spreadsheet I use to track reprimands for our employees. Reprimand Counseling Spreadsheet Example.xlsm. Previously, I had to read the entire reprimand in order to determine the policy violation(s) and then manually enter those reasons into the cell. We have a new standardized form, where the manger selects the reason(s) for the reprimand. I wanted a drop down box that I could select multiple reasons for the reprimand and have all the reasons appear on the same line, as well as being able to remove a reason from the line by selecting it again (so I wouldn't have to start over, in case I selected the wrong reason). I was able to find this code, on [URL] .... to accomplish that.
Same Cell Add & Remove
I also need to be able to manual edit some of the reasons. For example "Missed Meal Period(s) #___". I will need to be able to edit that item to read "Missed Meal Period(s) #2". I was able to find this code, on the same website as the previous code, to accomplish that. However, this code includes a line break, which I do not want.
Edit Same Cell
[Code] .....
Since I need the code to work on each worksheet (CIVI - SOCR), will I have to enter the code on each worksheet or is there a better way to accomplish this? Is there a way to combine these two codes, while simultaneously removing the line break? I need to select multiple reprimand reasons in the same cell and edit the reasons, if necessary. I've read and reread that article for hours, but I can't get it to work.
I need to create a pyramid in Excel with 5 boxes. It will have 3 levels. The middle level will have 3 vertical boxes and the top and bottom box will be horizontal. How do I create it?
I am trying to create drop down boxes in a spreadsheet so I can create job sheets from them, I have a small business building cubby houses and I want to create a job sheet from a spread sheet that will have customer name - job number and so on thats the easy bit but I need to have a few drop down boxes so I can just click on what type of cubby they want from a list and what colour roof and what side door will be on and so on instead of having to type all this in for every job.
I trying to do a sheet with one combo box (dropdown list) where I want the user to be able to choose "add rows" to make more boxes appear. My idea to solve this was to put all the boxes in the sheet, and then create a macro that either hides or shows the rows with the extra boxes. Now I have a problem that hiding the rows just does that, and only that. The rows disappear, but the combo boxes stay visible (but ends up on top of eachother).
How do you sum data from several cells that derive there answer from a lookup formula that is base on a selection from a drop down menu in another cell. The 6 drop down cells have the same ten items to choose from. Once those items have been chosen I am trying to summarize those six cells to ge a total for each of the item chosen.
I have set up a sheet recording an each individual's turnover for my business i.e., hours worked, etc and have set up a data validation table for drop down options of Jan, Feb, Mar,etc....
Rather than creating more work for each month on the worksheet, how can I enable the drop down to contain the data specific to each month?
this is my first attemp at doing a "userform". I am looking for some help in creating a user form that enables users to choose items from drop down boxes, which shows next level drop down list items, then down to final drop down list with information based on first two choices. I've attached the sample file for reference.
I need J22 to multiply based on years in B22 AND increase 5% for each of those years (compounding) after two years (excludes year 1 from 5% increase). In addition the cell needs to remain blank if D22 is blank. B22 = 1, then the stockprice needs to remain the same, and only increase by 5% after year 1.
Currently... B22 = a number of years indicated by the formula: =IF(A22="","",DATEDIF(A22,I3,"y")) J22 =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(D22,stockprices,2,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(D22,stockprices,2,FALSE))
Example:
If J22 stockprice lookup is $1000.00, and the number of years listed in B22 is 6, then the reported value in J22 needs to be $1494.40.
I have calculated the implied volatility for different single options using the newton raphson method. But, I also need to calculate the implied volatility which minimizes the sum of squared differences between the observed market price and the model price for each day. I guess one needs to use vectors (jacobian matrix) to do this, but I do not know how to expand the code to be able to do this. Anyone have any idea how this can be done? I have attached the [code] I have used to calculate the implied volatility for one option.
Part 1: Pricelist The user presses 1 of 3 macro buttons to access the price list. The buttons represent 1 of 3 parts of a construction project. The buttons are labeled PHASE 1, PHASE 2 & PHASE 3. The macro, depending on which button is pressed, hides all but the relevent quantity col & total col.
Each job phase needs its own total & having it setup this way makes it easier to enter new items into the table (only have to enter the item once, rather than 3 times).
The first html shows a simplied example of the "price list" described above (before & after the quantitiy & price cols are hidden). The user adjust the quantity & the sheet calculates the price total. Part 1: Material listThe material list is a list of items & quantities the user selected in the quantity col of Price list. This list is to be printed & given to the workers. It does not show price, only item & quantity.
This list, unlike pricelist, must be visiablly broken down by job phase.
I dont want the material list to be the price list repeated vertically on a sheet 3 times. This would take up too much space & require new items to be entered once in the pricelist & then 3 times in the mat list.
I would rather the mat list be on a seperate sheet from price list & have a formula in cell matlistA1 that searches the phase 1 quantity col (then phase2 & 3) for the first #>0.
When a #>0 is found, the formula would return an item name into the cell on matlist. Then the formula would run in matlistA2, & search for the next #>0. (& so on until a complete mat list table, broken up into phases is created)

I have a drop down list in excel. What do I need to do so that it will automatically take me to the closest/best label on the list when I type just a few first letters?
I am trying to get a listbox I created in from DataValidation to be dependent on another list.
For example, when I select Course 1 (a list item) from the Course List drop-down, I want the cost to auotmatically populate in the Cost drop-down (the other list).
How do I get this to happen? Here is the code I created in VB, and I am not sure if this is the right course of action:
Sub Automated() Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "MATLAB" If (Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "MATLAB") Then Sheet1.Cells(2, 3) = "31" End If Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "INCA" If (Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "INCA") Then Sheet1.Cells(2, 3) = "41" End If
[code]....
I don't want to use the user form, however from VB. I want to use the regular drop-down. The code seems to work, but, each list item in the drop-down is not pulling the data I want it to. I need to activate the drop-down as a click event somehow. It's just recognizing the cell A2 as a whole and not the individual list items. I want to each list item to be their own object, and to automatically populate the cell C2 with their cost when they are selected.
I work with excel docs that have alot of sheets. I managed to create a vba form that has a listbox populated with the sheet names, that when clicked goes to the respective sheet. The problem is that when the form is open i cannot focus on the excel sheet - the form needs to be closed first.
1 ) Is it possible to make an excel vba form dockable (so it could be displayed on the right where help would be)
Or
2) Would it be possible to create a drop down in the toolbar that would have the sheet names.
I think the latter is a cleaner solution (if possible).
I need to create a data validation drop-down that is dependant on what has been selected in another drop-down. However, all the solutions I've come across online so far suggest using the INDIRECT function, which is not appropriate in my case. This is because the data upon which the two drop-downs are based on is itself dynamic. My specific situation is this:
In one sheet, I have a list of university names in one column, and in the next column a list of faculties. The same university can appear multiple times in the sheet (once for each different faculty at the university). This information will be added to regularly, with new universities and new faculties added often.
In another sheet, I want a drop-down in one column that takes its validation from the list of universities. I then want a second drop-down that is only populated with a list of faculties at that university. The INDIRECT solution seems to only work if I can define a static range of cells from which to draw this data. How do I do it in my situation above?
Creating a drop down menu that allows me to pull data from sheet2.
I have all of my data on sheet2 and my objective is to have a small portion of the data displayed on sheet1 once the user selects the specific "study" from a drop down menu.
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).
I'm revamping a key inventory for my company and would like to be able to track the history of each key (name of person who it was issued to, date issued, date returned). I figure the best way to do this for the 90 keys I currently have in circulation is to create drop down lists for each key that has been used by more than one person in its history and upon selecting a given person from the drop down list of keys used more than once, the adjacent cells would populate with the corresponding data of date issued and date returned. Some keys have not been used more than once so not every key will have a drop down. Here is what my key inventory spreadsheet looks right now.
I'm creating a new spreadsheet for different fines we have as a football club.
I have a table frozen at the top which looks like this:
Fine 1 Fine 2 Fine 3 Player 1 Player 2 Player 3
Then also I have a list below this with the date and specific fines:
Date Player Fine Amount (drop down (drop down Entered manually list of players) list of fines)
I am wanting the amount of the fine to be entered into the table at the top of the spreadsheet automatically based on the 2 drop down list entries. I would also need the table to keep adding the fines together once new entries are made.
