Creating A Drop Down List From Another Table Of Data
May 6, 2009
I want to put a drop down list in Cell D3 with the list of names from column B. There are 14 different names, but when i try and create the list it gives everyname from Column B.
Also once the drop down list works i would like the table to be populated with the managers supplier, so if Dan was chosen in D5, Suppliers 1 to 9 would appear below D3.

I have a couple of drop down lists of data created from lists as well as fields next to it.
What I want it to do is take that data, which is name, start time, end time, days worked, queue (or work type), and fill the table next to it which is just a 30 minute by 30 minute schedule sheet with days of week 1 and week 2 on top.
I figure it would be easier to have a GO button to do this.
I will attach an example of what I mean, but please, if you guys find that there is an easier way to do this, just let me know, I feel this might involve some code/macros instead of excel functions

I need to create a dynamic list from a table of data.
I have performance data for 110 different pumps. Data points are generated every hour, and the table is updated with new data periodically. I want to automate the population of a list of 6 different pumps, and specify the date range populated. To put it another way: I want to place data from Pumps 1 through 6 for all of November into Columns A through F. Then I want to clear that data, and show data for Pumps 105-110 for last week in those same Columns.
One of the main goals of doing this -- other than quickly narrowing a field of data -- is being able to quickly chart this data on a scatter plot with a custom format. The pumps are grouped together by region, and individual pumps have specific purposes. So I need to quickly generate graphs with a series' color scheme or formatting that is consistent and logical between different pumping regions.
I haven't been able to make pivot table work because of the graphing issue, and also because of the way it handles data points and presents data. I would like to make this work with excel functions and maybe some filtering, but I'm not opposed to figuring out a VB script if you think that's what I should use.

I have a form where I have to have the following info on the top left corner of the form for our clients:
TO:Name of client
Address, city, zip...
Phone number
Fax Number
I need to find a way to create a drop down list where I have my contacts information so that if I pick a name, it will show up on my form but also have the address, phone....in the format as above so that I don't have to keep inputting the information manually as there are over 20 names.

I'm writing a purchase order entry form for my company. I've used the above formulas to create drop down lists with addresses for each of our stores and vendors, but I need form to automatically select the correct "ship to:" location. Some stores will always have merchandise shipped to the store regardless of the vendor. Other stores will always have the product shipped to a warehouse location, but in a few stores the product will be shipped either to the store or a warehouse depending on the vendor.
I've been able to work out the formulas for the stores that have shipments always to one location by creating a second address table and linking the selected store to it.
Here is basically what I need:
Store A + Vendor A = Store A
Store A + Vendor B = Store A
Store B + Vendor A = Warehouse
Store B + Vendor B = Store B
Store C + Vendor A = Warehouse
Store C + Vendor B = Warehouse

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 am trying to create a simple user interface type thing so that someone is able to select from drop down lists someones information, such as whether they are male or female, aged between 19-35 or 35-67, whether they are studying in a business area, legal or construction etc (there are 6 variables in total), This will then give the probability of success of the person passing this course based on probabilities which I have already worked out. I have worked out how to do the first stage of creating a drop down list showing alternative choices with Sex, Age etc in the data validation options, however:
There are 517 possible combinations, as in Male aged 19 to 35 studying Business (with other variables) or Male aged 19 to 35 studying Law (+ other variables) etc etc etc each with their own probability of success. Due to the long nature of writing out Male1935BusinessNorthWestWhiteBritishCollegeBrown I have rewritten it so it appears in the excel file as M1935BNWWBCB, which obviously wouldn't make any sense to someone if they had to select M 1935 B NW WB CB from drop down lists.
Along side the M1935BNWWBCB there is the probability of success specific to that type of person. So for example I could would have:
M 60%
M1935 64%
M1935B 35%....

If I have a table as noted below with the following assumptions:
- this table will likely grow
- the 'Include' column data will change based on external criteria/formulas, so the 'Include' column will not be sorted.
- Macros aren't an option as this sheet needs to be macro free.
A
B
C
1
Item
Calories
Include
[Code]...
How do I build a formula that I can place in a data validation drop down to only include 'Item's that have Yes indicated in the 'Include' column?
I've been researching this and found answers if the 'Include' column was sorted via offset, but I haven't found any to sift through when unsorted. I feel like there is a simple answer to this that I am missing. Here is the sheet --> ExampleSheet.xlsx

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 .

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.

I have a table of data which represents data in different categories by week.
My ultimate goal is to have another table representing the data for each month - for instance - for each of the categories the data for :
06/04/2009
13/04/2009
20/04/2009
27/04/2009
is summed to make the data for the month of April.
The way I'm doing this at the moment is very long-winded
I'm using a whole new table - the size of the original weekly one - for each month. A calculation decides whether to effectively leave a cell blank or insert the appropriate data based on a date being within a particular range.
So in each "month table" there is the same list of week values:
06/04/2009
13/04/2009
20/04/2009
27/04/2009
04/05/2009
11/05/2009
etc.
but for each "month table" only the cells adjacent to the dates within the relevant month will return actual numerical values within them
This is an example of the forumula I am using in these tables:
=IF(AND(($AD7>=MIN($AE$5,$AE$6)),$AD7<=MAX($AE$5,$AE$6)),$C7,"NA()")
Then a master table sums the totals for each month.
I want to be able to keep this table but get rid of the ones for every month as the sheet is getting unwieldy!
I have tried several times to attach the sheet for clarity but each time upon trying to "Submit New Thread " I am getting page not found errors - the sheet is only 133KB and I have tried zipping and sending also - I can't make it any smaller.

I'm creating a spreadsheet to keep track of my costs of production in an online game. Within the game there are a range of spawned resources that appear for only a short time before being unobtainable these resources have specific types that is shared between multiple spawns of the resource but each resource spawn has a unique name.
My first worksheet lists all the resources and their various qualities and the later worksheets are meant to allow me to choose from a list resources matching the requirements of the item I'm looking to craft. The example i have shown in the second picture requires Tatooinian Fiberplast and Lokian Wild Wheat to craft so in the Chosen Resource column I would like to have a drop down list allowing me to select the named resource type i would like to use - for Tatooinian Fiberplast the only thing on the list should be Omnitwixi and for the Wild Wheat it should show Fizi and Krad

Is it possible to have the value in one cell determine which cells to "data validate" for a drop down list?
Example - I have three different Ports of Entry with different arrival dates.
When the user inputs the Port of Entry into a cell can I create a drop down list that shows the data related to that individual port?

My family owns a Fast Casual Middle Eastern/ Mediterranean Restaurant. I'm taking charge of making it as profitable as can be! Our plates are different combinations of kebabs, rice, Falafels, Gyros, salad, platters. So theirs tons of combinations.
I am Dead serious about knowing REAL plate costs:
I spent days entering price data, weighing meat, produce, calculating usable yields. I then built "component builders" using data validation drop-downs, and Index + Match functions to construct the costs of the recipe items,standard base items and side items. So I now know How much a skewer of Marinated Kebab Costs me, and all the Components that go into building a plate.
I've now built a "Plate Builder" (See Pic) to create the EVERY combination available at our restaurant. So when I'm done filling in all the builders, I'll have a whole lot of tables. I'd like to pull the name and plate cost from each table and create a big table organized by whether its eat in or take out. How do I do it.
TL;DR: Need to create a table that pulls data from several other tables....

See the attached:
1/ Need to be able to populate a table with the following data (or as illustrated in ' Sheet 1'.
Company Name, Year, Manufacturing, Non-Manufacturing
This data will need to come from the lists for each of the variables as opposed to from the table, as this will be hidden from the user. Also, more company details will be added over time.

i have been looking around here and it seems like my problem is similar to many's regarding the vlookup function. to me, what i'm trying to do sounds simple enough, but it can't get it to work. i have a table that has three columns, Item Number, Item Description, and Amount.
Each item has it's own number, a corresponding item description, and ammount (obviously), but there are some repeats. What I want to do it input the Item Description, and have one field automatically pull up the Item number, and the next field, pull up the price. I am using a drop-down list for the Item Descriptions utilizing data validation. here is formula that i have been trying to use that is not working: =VLOOKUP(B2,Sheet1!$A$2:$C$18,1,FALSE). i have attached a trial worksheet that i am using to work things out on.

I have not found a way to control the width of a validation drop down menu. I have 3 drop down list. Two of them are in wide column cells and one a narrow column cell. For some reason my narrow column cell gives me a wide pull down even though the length of the data in this field is only 3 to four characters.

I have noticed that all the cell dropdown lists i have (created by using Data | Validation | Allow | List) are very difficult to read its as though the font is size 8 or 6 or even less, is there a way of displaying the dropdown contents in a larger format? i have tried changing the font size of the named range and of the cell holding the dropdown but to no avail.

I have a list of 688 codes in a column (lets say column A). e,g 23, AB, FX, NV, D8. Each code corresponds to a text In the next column (lets say column B) for example AA is the code for "Transmission". Using a clean spreadsheet and using a drop down list, I would like the cell to the right of the selected dropdown code, to automatically fill in the text of what the code corresponds to.

I am trying to set the below table up as a validation list. I am having issues with putting it in as list as it creates a new line every time a “,” (comma) occurs. I know I can use the custom and pull the list from a table, but I can’t use this option (the reason I can’t use the table, if interested, is because the single sheet with the validation contains about ~35,000 line items that are being split up into ~200 different sheets. Each sheet is then sent as a separate email…the problem with using the table is that it would on a different spreadsheet to begin with. The email only sends one sheet. As such, it would no longer be able to reference the table).
A - Less than $25,000
B - Between $25,000 and $49,999
C - Between $50,000 and $99,999
D - Between $100,000 and $249,999
E - Between $250,000 and $499,999
F - Between $500,000 and $999,999
G - Over $1,000,000
