Creating Validation List From Table Column Based On Data In Another Column
Dec 11, 2013
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 am limiting choices in a certain cell to a list via data validation (using data validation, allow - list and pointing to the source). I want to limit the next set of choices in the next column (in this example in Column C) for the user based on the choice made in the adjoining cell. For example to keep it simple I will use the following: if the user selected "Fruit" in B1, then the options in C1 would only show "Oranges","Apples", "Pears". If however the user selected "Veg" it would only show "Cucumber", "Lettuce", "Spinach", "Radishes" in the drop down in column C. I can put a prefix in front of the column C data validation list if that is needed to narrow down e.g. FR-oranges, FR-apples etc.
A B C
1 Fruit Oranges
2 Veg Lettuce
3
Data Validation source for Column B (H2:H4)
Fruit
Veg
Nuts
Data Validation for Column C: (I2:I10)
Oranges
Apples
Pears
Cucumber
Lettuce
Spinach
Radishes
Almonds
Peanuts

I am building an Excel file that will be used to track information and at the core of it all is a list of people from different offices where the number of people per office can change and/or a person leaves the company and is replaced by another. I'll simply:
Column A Column B
Office Employee
Hamilton Emp 1
Hamilton Emp 2
Hamilton Emp 3
Toronto Emp 4
Toronto Emp 5
Toronto Emp 6
Toronto Emp 7
Toronto Emp 8
Waterloo Emp 9
Waterloo Emp 10
This will be all on Worksheet 'Info'. I have a Worksheet for each Office and named them accordingly. On each worksheet I want to use Data Validation on a column, we will call it 'ChosenOne', set it as 'List' and have the Source pull all the employee names that belong to that office and use them as a selection
ex: Hamilton Worksheet, 'ChosenOne' would show Emp 1, Emp 2, and Emp 3 in the list.
If Emp 3 changed offices to Waterloo 6 months from now I would like to change A4 from Hamilton to Waterloo and the formula would not have to be changed and the next time someone selects 'ChosenOne' it would only show Emp 1 and Emp 2.
Of course this means on the Waterloo Worksheet, 'ChosenOne' would show Emp 3, Emp 9, Emp 10 now.
So basically I am trying to not specify a specific named range for each office and am hoping there is a way to poll information from a Table (or any other tool that can simplify this).
I would be ok with something like:
Column A Column B
Office Employee
Hamilton Emp 1, Emp2, Emp 3
Toronto Emp 4, Emp 5, Emp 6, Emp 7, Emp 8
Waterloo Emp 9, Emp 10
and just move Emp 3 from B2 to B4 but I don't know if a list can be created from multiple items in a single cell seperated by a , or ; or :.

I have 6 worksheets in my file. In sheets 1-5, column A2:A26 list people's names. Some people's names appears on more than one sheet. Not all cells are populated with a value.
ex.
SHEET1
COLUMNA
Bill
[Code]....
My attempt was... =INDEX('Week1:Week5-!$A$2:$A$26,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($A$1:A1,"Week1:Week5"!$A$2:$A$26),0))
where the sheets were Week1-Week5 and the values on each sheet was A2:A26. But I think there's an issue with Excel being able to 3D reference for these types of functions.

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 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

I have a dropdown list in C24:C50 (=CategoryList) with data validation and a sub list in D24:D50 (=ItemList) with data validation. I am looking for a way to have code automatically run after selecting an item in the data validation dropdown list in column C.
Example; I click on C24 and make a selection. I what it to trigger code that would move me to D24 and open up the data validation list in D24. After the selection in D24 I would like it to move me back and down 1 row to C25. I have not found anything directly related to this but I have found that code can be run after a selection in a valadition list.

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 know how to use array formulae to create a unique list, i.e.{=INDEX($G$1:$G$760,SMALL(IF(ROW($G$1:$G$760)=MATCH($G$1:$G$760,$G$1:$G$760,0),ROW($G$1:$G$760)),ROW()))}
however this is giving all the unique items from column G and I only want the unique items that have a non-zero value in column H as well. This would be the sumif of all instances that would have to be zero. I've tried to crack it and I've tried to search for solutions but so far no joy.

I want it just to give me a list of every instance a certain word is used in a column, just like on the autofilter. But each value should in the cell beneath.
Basically I have a list of clients, now when using the autofilter I can select to see the cases from just that client.
But what I want is it to list all the clients relevant to certain months in a column.

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.

In the summary table on Sheet 1, I need to show all the names that got a "Red" Score. And their corresponding months.
It should look like this.

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.

The condition which i need to take care of is that after column 3 if at all there is any data till column 10 then in the destination mastersheet these should be copied in different rows with first two columns repeated. I need to do this using VBA macro.

In the attached spreadsheet I would like to create a list of part numbers if column D E & F all have a #N/A value. Right now I'm using a True/False but this list contains around 3000 items and I don't want to have to scroll down to find the True values. Is there a way I can just create a list of corresponding part numbers to the True Values?

My table is as follows:.....
If the columns A, B, and C were constant and never changed and only column H changes from job to job, how do I: SUM the TOTAL number of pieces (pcs per X qty) if the value in column B is "A"? I need to do this without creating a seperate mutliplication column for the sum of the pieces. It all needs to be done without adding any new columns.

I have a spreadsheet where I am tracking several entries in a table that will keep growing. Three fields are Data Validation Drop Down Lists. The macro below works well to clear the two lists to the right when the first one is changed by the user.

I want this to affect the rows below it in the table as they are added.

I'm trying to have a Data Validation list issue where I want to populate a second list based upon the value of the first list.
In this instance I have a Department in the drop down and Employee Name in the second drop down and I want people to only see Employee names if they're allocated to a particular Department. I've been able to do the list using the INDIRECT function, however that only works when there's only a small sample of both names & depts, however I'm looking at populating this document with around 3000 people and over 250 departments, so I would like to be able to use Column J on the Source Tab to populate the details on the Manager Entry tab.
I have attached a sample spreadsheet if I've not explained very clearly.

I want to populate a Data Validation based on values in another cell on another worksheet--but, I want to populate it with the values stored in the cell right next to the cell. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3...n/untitled.jpg. would be an example....
What I want my Data Validation List to do is to look at column B and wherever it sees a certain color--for example, red, I want it to put the corresponding value in column A in the list.

I am new to using Macros and have not had great progress building a macros to make my life easier.
What I am trying to do
-In my main database tab 'FW Telecom' Use column A ( a set of numbers) to create a new tab based on that number, with a 'FW' infront IE ( column A shows 11, i want the tab to read FW 11)
-I want to create one for every number in the column
-Then I would like to copy my 'Template' tab to each new tab.
-From there I would like to fill in the information in the new tabs from the main database tab 'FW telecom'
-Since they will all be copies of the original template, i figure i can just get it to pull from the first column A and then fill in the info.
Not too much in theory going on here, just take my database and move the pertinent information to a user friendly look which I set up in 'template'
