Creating Lists Based On Category
Mar 6, 2009
The goal here is for users of this form to enter the "type" of tool and automatically create a list of tools based on the "type" in another sheet (NEW SHEET). See the heading on that sheet in the file for more info.
Also, keep in mind that this would be a template (.xlt) for 2003 and all the sheets would be individually locked -- password protected.
Since this form will be filled in by folks that aren't very computer savvy in general, I'm trying to make this as simple/automatic as possible. I myself have a limited toolbox as well. I'm not entirely sure a program would be needed (IF statements in the cells?)

I am trying to create an array formula that would list all the corresponding rows that contain a certain value.
Here is an example workbook to illustrate what I'm trying to accomplish:
Book1.xlsx
I need to create a list/table that would show all the row labels that correspond to a value. For example, I need to make a list of all cells with a value of 1 under the "Green" column and list the row label(s) that correspond to 1.
Creating the list would result in following return values for "Green": A,C,E,F in separate rows.
I've been using [URL] ..... as a guide but the formulas did not return a corresponding row label. Pivot tables did not accomplish this either.
Is it possible to do without using an array formula?

I have a long list of names in column A, and in Column B next to each name is one of 10 group identifiers (Advertising, Marketing, Finance, etc). I'd like to divide the 300 names into groups of four people, with none of the four people having the same group identifiers. So, groups of four people that look like:
Column A Column B
Amanda Jones Marketing
Shelly Stevens Finance
John Banana Advertising
Tim Stewart Logistics
What is the best way to do this?

how to do this and I just can't seem to figure it out...I've come close, but something always seems to be incorrect when I try to do it.
So what I have is 5 column sheet (please see the attached file).
What I would like to do is have the 1st column (Main Folder) be a drop down list and have the other 4 columns dependent on the 1st.
So for example, if I choose Business Hierarchy then in the Subfolder, Subfolder2 there should be nothing shown and under the Attribute column, there should be:
ALL
BUSINESS SEGMENT
REGION
AREA
OPERATING MARKET
COMPANY
MASTER COMMUNITY
COMMUNITY
shown to the user.
Or if I were to pick Unit from the Main Folder, then in Subfolder Unit, Unit Options, Unit Budgets, Dates, etc. should be shown while in Subfolder2 the items for Corresponding to Dates should be shown.
Currently the description box is blank, but will be needed to correspond just with the pertinent main folder selection as well.
Please let me know if you guys have any suggestions, I greatly appreciate. I'm still learning how to do this kind of stuff, so please forgive me again for having trouble with this.
I also understand that if I were to cluster the information in the Attributes column into single cells such as:
ALL
BUSINESS SEGMENT
REGION
AREA
OPERATING MARKET
COMPANY
MASTER COMMUNITY
COMMUNITY
into one cell, then it is very simple, but I do need the seperation between cells due to the description column.

I need a way to create summarized product lists from a large list of product.
Each product in the "full" list has the following rows: Product No., Name, Price, Quantity, Total.
I need the rows to copy to "sheet 2" when the total and/or quantity go above zero.
So on the new sheet I would end up with a list of products we need rather than having a whole sheet of all the products where the ones we need are mixed amongst the ones we don't.

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.

Looking to create a drop down list on the top of a column that will find all entries with that numerical value. For example, lets say I have four entries with the value 1234 spread out through the columns. When I click the drop down menu, it should only have 1234 once and when I click it, it shows me all the rows with that entry.

how to do this, but I know it can be done.... I want to use one drop down list created via the Data Validation 'List' Criteria to then lookup data based on the selection made in this list...... this will require a number of reiterations to get to the final result......
So:
Drop Down No:
1. List: Department Function:
2. List: Sub Function List Based on Selection from 1.
3. List: Job Code, Title and Pay Grade based on Selection from step 2
how to ensure that we are able to minimise the overall workbook size due to the complexity that is required here as this is just the basics.... this will need to applicable further once this basic requirement has been fulfilled.

I tried using several of the formulas and VBA codes from other posts, but they just didn't work out quite right. And since I'm worthless at VBA coding, my changes either did nothing, ruined the code entirely, or blew up my computer : D . The attached doc should explain everything.

I have imported a list of information from a text file created by my network admin. I need to take the information from different categories in the list and sort them by category. All of the information is in once cell, but each has a common prefix (ie. URL = or Username), etc. After each prefix is the information I'd like to sort under the category (each category is the prefix). All of the information (prefix & data) is in cell A because it was a text file, and I'd like to simply find a way to say if A10 = URL= then place the information in C10...Below is what I need to sort.
URL = [url]

I have consecutive vertical lists that each have a different number of instances and I'm trying to create a horizontal summary. Here is an example:
Vertical lists:
Mary
red 2
blue 11
John
yellow 5
red 7
blue 8
Susan
red 9
green 3
Desired Summary table:
Mary John Susan
yellow 5
red 2 7
blue 11 8
green 3
Is there a way to do this using a pivot table or formulas, instead of manually?

Is there a way to add cascading lists (from data validation or form/activex controls) to my excel spreadsheet WITHOUT using named ranges? Maybe structured references?
I need to avoid the named ranges because it will cause my workbook to have duplicate named range titles which I cannot avoid.
As a general example my issue arises because I have something like this where the titles are the same but they map to slightly different data. These also have to be cascading because the titles align to another list which I do not show in the example. I also considered using pivot tables, but the issue there is that the data validation lists repeat in the same worksheet. So I would have 3 cascading lists in row1 dependent on each other, but the same 3 lists in row2 dependent on row2 but not the previous row.

I am trying to create challenge/response cards. Each card will have a 5-digit number in the upper-left and lower-right corner along with a series of rows containing a line number and 3 pairs of challenge/response words.
Rather than have have copies of these cards, I want the central office to have a macro-enabled workbook wherein they can enter the two numbers from the card and have the challenge/response matrix regenerate on a worksheet.
So, essentially, I want the challenges random number generator seeded from one of the 5-digit numbers and the responses random number generator seeded from the other 5-digit number.
I am trying to use
Code:
Randomize(Seed)
where Seed is one of the 5-digit numbers.
The problem appears to be that, no matter what I use for Seed, the RND(-1) function is not resulting in different numbers.
I am using Excel 2007 and Excel 2010.

I have spent a good amount of time trying to create the below using botched IF functions, SUMIFS, SUMIF formulas etc.
Basically I have a sheet (called Sheet1) with the following columns:
A - Date (by individual day DD/MM/YYYY)
B - A catagory (so using the old example, Apples, Orange, Pears)
C - Price.
I would like to be able to create a formula, whereby I can sum the Total sales for each catagory across each month onto a summary sheet (sheet2).
I would use pivot tables, however am not sure how i can make all the require data appear permanently in the best way, especially if there is a one liner that can be done more easily. So far I have managed to create a sum dependent on month, but have been unable to encorporate the catagory.

I run a report of varying length that generates times. I need to take the final time from 'Column J' and make that the final value for 'Column U'. 'Column J' has a varying number of entries and the times are not equally spaced out. In 'Column U' I want to go from the start time (which I have referenced from J:2) to the final value in 'Column J' and include every minute in between. Then I need to take the new list of every minute from 'Column U' and make it the x-axis of a bar chart.

I have Columns A:D with a heading at the top. the user can then type organisation names under the correct column. There is a maximum of 30 entries (rows 2:32).
Problem One:
Column E is a hidden column and I need cells E2 and downwards to be a list which gets populated by ALL the organisation names inserted into $A$2:$D$32. I don't want there to be any blank cells until the last entry in column E (if that makes sense). how to populate this list?
Problem Two:
At another part of the worksheet, I have five cell where the user has to select from a list. The five cells correspond to the lists in columns A:E. Is there any way to avoid having blank options in a list using data validation (say if the user has not entered 30 organisations into one of the columns)?

I've 2 lists that contain similar info but 1 of the lists holds info I need to join.
I've a unique case sensitive id that I'd like to use to join the lists.
I usually use VLOOKUP but it is case insensitive and I cannot understand how to make it case sensitive.
The 2 lists are in 2 separate worksheets as they each hold a lot of data.

Example.....
In the drop-down menu in col D I select the value “Egress”, then the drop-down list in col E is populated with the values of EgressCol. Now I select a value, lets say “Cash payment”. If at a later time I change the value of col D, lets say to “Ingress”, then “Cash payment” in col E doesn’t match the values available for IngressCol (the correspondent dynamic list for the Ingress value).
I need a conditional formatting formula that checks whether the value in col E is listed in the corresponding list of the value selected in col D. Request: I found this formula that works fine, but it gets Excel to work really slow.
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE($D2," ","")&"Col"),$E2)=0

Just wondering if a drop down list can be specific to a selection made in a previous cell. For example in column A the user would select either:
Weekly
Monthly
Other
Then in column B, the drop down list would be conditional upon what was selected in A. So if the user selected 'Weekly' - the drop down list in B would be: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. Or if the user selected 'Monthly' in column A's list, the list in column B would be: 1, 2, 3, ......31.

I have a dynamic dropdown list in B3. The dynamic dropdown list in B4 is a result of my choice in B3, and my dynamic dropdown list B5 is a result of my choice in B4.
When changing a value in B3 the dropdown lists B4 and B5 will be reset. This is done by this VBA Script in my worksheet.

Trying to create a dynamic costing spreadsheet, where the user has to make multiple selections from many dropdown lists, all of which end up showing a total cost.
So far I have managed to create relatively dynamic lists, so that the choice in one cell will dictate what options are available in the next.
But if a user selects an options form all the dropdowns, and then decides to go back and modify a previous option to something else, the effected dropdown lists do not change until you click on the drop down arrow again and see the options available have changed.
Let me try and simplify...
'Menu 1' has two option: 'A' and 'B'.
If 'A' is chosen, then the next menu, 'Menu 2', will have options '1' and '2'.
If 'B' is chosen from 'Menu 1', then the options in 'Menu 2' will be '3' and '4'.
Lets say the user chose 'A' from 'Menu 1' and then '1' from 'Menu 2'... AND THEN went back and changed their choice in 'Menu 1' to 'B'....
'Menu 2' will still be displaying '1', even though the options are only '3' and '4'.
Can I make the dependant menu's either reset or blank or highlight to show that a change made somewhere else has made them currently invalid

I'm trying to continue on this post: Populate Cells After Choice From Drop-Down
I'm trying to expand on CNL's idea. What I need to do is create a spreadsheet that autopopulates two blocks based on the dropdown box that preceedes it. I've got it to partially work, but can't figure out the next step. The differnce between my sheet and CNL's sheet is my drop-down is an indirect data validation.
The easiest would be to have my data in one long list, but my goal is to make it easier on the user to find the specific procedure (I'm trying to build a budgeting spreadsheet for a medical office). So in box A15 there is a list of the different service area, which gives a list of choices in C15 based on the choice selected in A15. My goal is to have G15 and G16 list the cost and charge respectively.
M1 - O3 is the data for Radiology
Q1 - S4 is the data for Labs
U1 - W4 is the data for Office
