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.
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.
Adding new items to the list, and then sorting them, I've found that the drop down boxes which I was oh-so-happy to utilize... don't move with their relative rows when the item name or department is sorted. IE. The option to select Supplier 3 for Thing 4, stays where it is if you sort by department, giving incorrect options. how to sort this while moving them, or on an alternative menu box system which would sort?
I am trying to link 'Combo boxes' in Excel 2007 (not using code as the guy in the other thread is). Ie In the first drop down box you choose the type of cement, then in the second drop down box, different mixes of cement can be chosen DEPENDING on your choice of cement in the first.
I'm not sure if I will need to use VBA for this or not, but what I want to is enable a Hyperlink if the user enters "Yes" from a dropdown box in a respective cell. I will have "Yes" or "No" as choices, but I only want the Hyperlink to become active if "YES" is chosen.

I have two sheets open being a front sheet and one with data, i would like to create a drop down box of some kind on the front sheet with the data listed in the box from the data sheet.
I have a file that needs 3 drop down boxes. Box 1 = Room Style Box 2 = Unit Number (based on Room Style) Box 3 = Building (based on Unit Number)
I know how to get Box 1 and 2 with data validation, but I don't know how to get Box 3. Right now, my data list has Box 1 data in Row 1, and Box 2 data in the following rows, in the appropriate column.
File attached.
I don't have the Building info in there yet because I didn't know where/how to put it in. But, if you picked Manchester, 131, Box 3 needs to be B1N.
Column A - I want to make drop down boxes #1-30 - which would represent quantity Column B- That will be 30 rows of dollar amounts Column C - To be able to calculate the quantity x dollar amount
I'm able to create the drop down boxes with the numbers, but say I choose the number 5 by the dollar amount 200.00 It won't calculate 5 x 200.00....
I've been trying the formula you would use to find an average, and i've tried the if statments, but my drop down box isn't being recognized.
I need to add drop boxes (from data already listed on another worksheet) to every cell in a single column. Drag down, easy! My problem is that I already have the required list (names in this case) pasted into the column from another sheet. Is this possible?
I am wanting to configure approx 100 drop down boxes to all point to the same range of data, approx 40 names, but once the name has been selected, none of the other drop down boxes will be able to select that name.
eg. range: Dave Mike John Steve
select Dave in drop down box in cell B5. Next cell, B7, I want a drop down box without Dave in it. If i then change my mind, and select Steve in cell B5, it will automatically adjust cell B7 to allow Dave as he is now no longer selected in cell B5.
My problem is i need to create a drop down box in excell, now i have a list of names,
Name 1 Name 2 Name 3 Name 4..........
I need all thos enames in a drop down list but i think i keep doing things wrong, I am doing it like this, All names are in cells A23-A33, i have highlighted them and named them (Names) using the name box in the top left corner, i have then gone to Data, Validation, List, Then i have sourced it to "Names" and clicked ok, this is where my problem is. It Makes all the boxes for Name 1 - Name 10 Drop Down Boxes... And when i click on any of them it gives me a list of all the names, when i click on one of the Names that name appears in the drop down box but the original Name dissapears from the box completely!
Name 1 Name 2 Name 3 Name 4 Name 5..................
I'm using Excel 2007. I have a cell with a dropdown box that has the values 1 thru 10. When I save the file (as an Excel 97-2003 compatible .xls file), it's 17kb which is normal. I want multiple dropdown boxes going down the same column, so that every time the user goes to the next row, another dropdown box will be displayed. I copied the cell with the dropdown box, selected the entire column, and pasted the dropdown box.
This time when I save the document, it's over 2MB in file size. I've seen other spreadsheets with several columns of dropdown boxes spanning thousands of rows and they stay under 30kb. I don't know what they did differently to keep their file size small. Why is my file size so large and how do I fix this? Do I need to use a 'paste special' function?
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 have a Validation drop down box (column B) and a defined range drop down box (column E linked to the Totals tab with A2-A31 defined as Products) that I need to activate everytime data is added to a new line in column 'A' and cells in column 'B' or 'E' are selected. Additionally, they need to activate if the cells in column 'B' or 'E' are selected for any of the old data so changes can be made. This will help reduce the overall file size and calculation time for a year's worth of data.
There is already some code on the worksheet that looks like it can be adapted if someone knows how to code in the drop down boxes.
I am somewhat of a novice with Pivot Tables. One problem I am having that no one seems able to help me out with is that when I update and refresh my pivot table, it seems like it has a muscle memory with the drop down choice boxes.
For example: Lets say I have three customers that I have labeled 01 Target, 02 Walmart and 03 Bed Bath and Beyond. If I want to change 01 Target to 02 Target and 02 Walmart to 01 Walmart, it works in the pivot table and shows the proper data but if I try to choose the customer from a drop down box, it remembers the customers as labeled as they were before I made the changes AND the current look.
I will see: 01 Target, 02 Target, 01 Walmart and 02 Walmart in the drop down box but the data will only show up in the pivot table associated with the proper customers as they are labeled in the data source.
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 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 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 did all the search for multiple drop box or list box that can connect to other list boxes but no luck.
It's the same as when you surf with Internet Explorer, you can click "Views" in menu bar, list box appear and then choose "Encoding", another drop box appear, then when you choose "More", then another box appear.
Is it possible to have this sort of hierarchy list box in excel where drop box connect to another drop box?
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 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
