Apply Custom Validation Rule To A Drop-down Field
Oct 6, 2009Is there a way to apply a custom validation rule to a drop down field in Excel (which itself is already using a validation rule)? Here is what I wish to do: I have a range of cells that can only pick up values from a list. I want to further apply a custom validation rule to these cells - display an error message when one chooses an element from the list that has already been used by another cell in the range.

Jun 19, 2014Attached is example of what I'm trying to do. I want to use the drop-down on the "Master Tab" and have the corresponding price by promo_month appear in the yellow cells.
Currently its on July, but I would like to switch that to August etc and have new prices populate in the yellow cells. Prices come from the "table" tab.

Corresponding Value Drawing According To Rule
Oct 29, 2013In my attached sheet I've to find out final result in Column "F" (green shaded). My boss many times a year increases salary by certain percentage (say 30% or 40%) which is given in "E" column. After that I need to adjust it according to Pay Scale given in right side. For example one Executive's salary reaches 19880 after % increase. Now in pay scale we see in executive (row no. 13) it crosses 19800 so his final salary should be next upper value i.e 20600 (if it reached to 20700 after % increase, then his final salary could be 21400). That is final salary should be multiple of designation's increment plus minimum gross salary (Here 800X10=8000+11800=19800, since it exceed by 800, so salary should be 800X11=8800+11800=20600)
So we can either pull data from right side table or we can give formula in "F" column to get the required result.

Looking For A Rule To Find Weekends
Jan 31, 2014I am working on a maintenance form that I have attached.
I am wondering if there is a formula or condition that I can input to find and mark all the spaces that fall on a weekend.
Either to have the form auto-populate with a "W" as I have done in the form, or shade the boxes that fall on a weekend. Shading would probably be better or even shading with the "W".

Dec 22, 2009I am using excell 2007 and am having a few problems with conditional formatting.
I am trying to do the following.
i have 6 cells in 6 columns ( c2, d2, e2, f2, g2, h2 ) each with figures 17.14+
Now i am trying to add a formula so when ever i insert a number in the cell below e.g c3 i want the cell c3 to turn green or red depending on the value in the above cell (c2).
so in all:
c2 has the value 17.14
if i insert the value 17.14 or less in cell c3 i want the c3 cell to turn green.
if i insert the value 17.15 or more i want the cell to turn red.
now i know how to do this in the conditional formatting feature but i want to do this will all the cells refering the the cell above.
i also do not want to create 6 diffrent conditional rules.
Is there a formula i can use that can be pasted into each cell and the cell number edited?

Get All Three Of Fields Formatted With One Rule?
Sep 6, 2013I have a project where if the user enters 'R' into cell H17 then cells B19:K19 are to be filled with black color. These cells are divided into three fields: B19:E19, F19:H19, and I19:K19.
When I select these three fields and use the conditional formatting tool the only cells that are black are B19:E19. Even though the rule explicitly shows that cells B19:K19 are to be affected. In order to have all three fields black I have to make three rules (one for each field).
The same behavior happens when I use the conditional formatting tool and select the cells from within the tool's dialog.
How can I get all three of the fields formatted with one rule?
Turning Name Into Email Address As A Rule
May 20, 2014Is it possible to create a rule that every time I type my name, for my e-mail address to pop up in excel instead?
For example, if I type "purple1686", I want "12purpleexample@domain.com" to show up as a hyperlink to my default e-mail program.
I am also curious if I was to write "my website" is it possible to make it a hyperlink to "www.purple1686example.com"?
Those two first may be easy to answer, so here is the challenging part for me:
Can I make that happen as a rule on every spreadsheet I open?
I don't know if I should make a template, or use a formula? The ideal scenario would be if there was a way to do it through conditional formatting.
I have used conditional formatting to change the color of a word every single time I open a new template and paste the words into it, or even by typing them out.

View 4 Replies View RelatedRule For Removing Duplicates In Data?
Jun 10, 2014I'm trying to find out the rule for de-duplicating data. I am removing duplicates based on an identification number in a data set of about 6000 records, including the duplicates (some records appear about 4 times). Due to the nature of the data I'm working with, there are only a handful of records that are "true" duplicates, i.e. some of the records appear 4 times but there is a difference in terms of location, etc and some are true duplicates in that there is no difference.
I need to know how Excel removes duplicates - does it only keep the first line that it finds for that identification number? Also, is there a way that I could create a rule for it to keep the record with the highest rate for example?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSet A Conditional Formatting Rule That Makes A Cell Red?
Jan 9, 2014I want to set a conditional formatting rule that makes a cell red or green depending on if the value in the cell is larger or smaller than the value in another cell +2% or -3%. If neither of these conditions are met no formatting should be applied..
a) In the cell (R104) where the condition is set I have the following formula:
=if(BP104=0;"";BQ104/BP104) (the values in BP104 and BQ104 is retrieved from a database)
b) The conditions I've set in R104 are the following
1) =isblank($R$104) (condition: "nothing")
2) =$R$104<$R$106-0,02 (condition: "red")
3) =$R$104>$R$106+0,03 (condition: "green")
c) In cell R106 the value there is a value of 90%
The conditions seem to work fine when the value in R104 is higher or lower than the conditions set in 2 and 3 above but when the value is blank in R104 the cell goes green, which it shouldn't.
Multiple 'if-thens' (Chain Rule) With Two Sheets
Feb 4, 2010I have attached a sample file with two sheets.
Sheet 1 has two columns, 'A' represents a parcel number, and 'B' represents an indicator for the plat name in which the parcel number is located.
Sheet 2 also has two columns. 'A' represents the same indicator as Sheet 1 Column 'B' and Column 'B' is the formal name for the plat.
What I hope to achieve is Sheet 1 Column 'A' to be the parcel number (as it currently is)and Column 'B' to be the formal name for the plat (instead of the number).
As you will notice, the plat numbers on Sheet 1 Column 'B' can repeat many times. A plat number of '0' would mean it is not associated with a plat and therefore should return a blank.
The 'real' file has over 275,000 parcel numbers. All total, there are approximately 8800 differnent plat names.
Due to my 'lacking' skill level, I need it to be a macro as I have yet to learn other methods.
Formula For Three Sigma Rule Of Standard Deviation
Sep 20, 2009I want to find the correct formula to find answers using excel for the folliowing:
1. >3Sds
2. 3SDs<>2SDs
3. 2SDs<>1SD
4. <1SDs
This question uses 3 sigma rule (see attached worksheet) and the formula needs to be re-arranged to meet new criteria. So, we need to consider both sides of nornmal distributiion (ND) curve. eg. when we say >3SD it means it should count all valuee falling in the rage "Mean(Average)+3SD AND Mean-3SD" i.e two extreme ends of the ND cureve. I have inserted a normal distribution diagram and colour coded the ranges so that it will be easy to identify. Please refer comments inserted in K7to N7, cells that contain formula that need to be reset.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCheck 10 Different Text Values And Return False For All Of Those In The Conditional Formatting Rule
Sep 13, 2007Allows me to check like 10 different text values and return false for all of those in the conditional formatting rule. When those are not present, the conditional format is true thus applying the format.
I tried
=NOT(FIND("text1",$A$1,1))
It did not work because I believe this statement doesnt give the rule its TRUE value its looking for.
I am having trouble with this, to clarify I need the below...

EDIT: to clarify, the code should look for either text1 or text2 or text3 so on...
Cross-referencing Two Spreadsheets
Jun 20, 2014Basically I order thrice a week from a certain supplier to fill the shelves of my shop.
They make available to me two spreadsheet dumps: an orders spreadsheet, with the following columns:-
order ref
date
unique product code
description
qty
9262
03/07/2013
622642
Fabric Dye

And an invoices spreadsheet with the following columns:-
invoice ref
date
unique product code
description
qty
122551
04/07/2013
622642
Fabric Dye
4
Basically I can see the potential here to find out what we've ordered but that which they haven't sent which would be so handy.
I have tried to vlookup() produce code against product code, this kind of works but below are some example drawbacks:-
1) no idea if I've ordered it ten times and they've only not sent it once, or if I've ordered it ten times and they've not sent it nine times.
2) no idea of dates - i.e. ordered this in June '13, October '13 and February '14 and they sent it in February '14 only.
