I am trying to apply custom data validation for two cells. The first is data validation in cell B6. The only valid entries should be in mulitples of 100 (e.g. 100, 200, 300, .... etc). The second cell is B12. The only valid enteries should be any number above 100 and not = 100, 200, 300, .... etc). I tried using following formula in data validation for cell B6 but no luck. Couldn't figure out what to use for cell B12 =mod(B6,100)
View 5 RepliesI am trying to use Excel to create some XML output that is formatted specifically for an application that I have. The application expects to receive time data for two columns in hh:mm format, i.e. no seconds. The standard Excel data validation and also the XML time data type all expect hh:mm:ss.
In order to get around this, I have used string as the data type and I want to use data validation to check the user input conforms to hh:mm. I can't see how to write the formula directly, nor how to apply the validation formula to an entire column (as opposed to named cells or ranges), and although I could write a function using regex, I still couldn't use this because all the examples I can find relate to checking a specific named cell.
I require a custom formula for in cell data validation of an 5 digit alphanumeric entry. The valid format is ANNNN (1 x alpha & 4 x numeric). Case of the aplha is not an issue.

I guess I need to use a custom validation formula, however cant figure it out
I have a data validation in a cell that works like this : if a control cell has the value "F" it validates the input with some dates in a custom list, if not it does nothing.
The formula looks like this :
=IF(F2="F",datelist,"")
It works fine but I also want it to display the drop down list when cell F2 = F, now all i can do is type a value and it checks if it's ok.
Can I do this without using vba ? I will send this to other persons and I don't want the macro warning to pop up when they open it.
I have a Drop-Down Menu that looks like:
BOS
PIT
COL
NYR
using List with source =Lists!$B$2:$B$9, which is just the validation list
My Table:
Team Player
BOS Bergeron
BOS Krejci
NYR Nash
... ...
My goal is to limit the end user from choosing BOS more than two times from the drop down menu
I have four cells c1 thru c4. The SUM of these cells must equal 1. I want to display an error message "sum of cells not equal to 1.0" but only when data has been entered in all four cells.
For instance =SUM(C1:C4, "<>1") should display the error message. Is there a way to write the formula with an IF statement and still use data validation with error message box?
Assumptions:
-Will ignore blanks
-Error message "Sum of cells are not equal to 1.0" until values in all four cells have been entered, not after a value is entered in a cell. (validate expression after all four cells have values or blank)
Scenarios:
c1 = .25, c2 is blank, c3 = .25, c4 = .50 TRUE no error message should displays
c1 = .25, c2 = .25, c3 = .25, c4 = .50 TRUE no error message should displays
c1 = .25, c2 = .30, c3 = .25, c4 = .50 FALSE error message should display after value is entered in c4
etc
What I don't want is for the error message box to display after .25 is entered in c1 because the user is still in the process of adding values. Can this be done using Data Validation in Excel 2010?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a validation list, with its source data being filtered from another sheet of the same workbook. I also need to validate the drop list against some conditions in the source table.
Here is an example of the data am trying to create`(I want to create the droplist for the column Contract):
"Contract Definition" Sheet or Table:
-----------------------------------
Company Contract Service Report End date: Status
--------- --------- -------------- --------- ------
CompanyA ContractA1 Service 1 31/12/2014 Active
CompanyA ContractA2 Service 2 31/12/2014 Active
CompanyB ContractB1 Service 1 31/12/2014 Inactive
"Service Reports" Sheet or Table:
--------------------------------
Company Contract Service Report
--------- --------- ----------------
CompanyA ContractA1 Service 1
CompanyA ContractA1 Service 2
CompanyA ContractA2 Service 3
In the Service Reports Sheet, i want to create a list for each Contract, based on the specified Company and on the Status field, as defined in the Contract definition table.
I'm trying to make a converter between about 8 various types of values. These are not units like Km or miles or something like that, but rather numbers that represent a specific "hardness value" on a variety of scales (to name a few: HRC, HRA, K)
What I've been doing so far is plotting the two types against eachother and then getting the best trendline I can so that I can use that formula to convert between the two with relative certainty. (for example, when plotting HV vs HRC my fourth order polynomial trendline with an Rsquared of 1 is y=0.0001x4 - 0.0188x3 + 1.0768x2 - 20.709x + 350.69)
My questions comes up where I was hoping to make a window or box of some sort allowing the user to input a numeric value, then selecting the Input units and the hopeful output calculated units, and have the box spit back to the user the conversion.
I have a worksheet that uses the INDIRECT function as part of cell validation to generate a custom 'name' range, this name then references a bunch of sheets that contain the actual range where the values for the validation list are stored. For example: ValidationExample.xlsx
Name = Color
Values = Blue, Red, Green
Name = Shape
Values = Square, Circle, Triangle
So what this allows me to do is in the first cell, I can define two options such as Color and Shape. Once one of these is selected, the next cell will have a formula for the validation as "=INDIRECT(A1)" then I will define two named ranges called 'Color' and 'Shape'. This will then show me the list of items in the cell based on previous selection. An example of this is attached to this posting above.
When the formula is written into the validation, an error message is generated saying that the formula will generate an error. Even with this message, the method works effectively to provide a blank list if nothing in the first cell is selected, or a list dependent on the selection of the first cell.
In this case, what I want to do is generate a macro that will populate the validation for a cell when new records are added. This won't always copy down from previous cells because the way I add records is through use of a macro and I generally find using the format painter in vba to be a fairly sloppy way of getting formats from other cells. So I go through a series of validation additions to each cell in the worksheet to get this validation created (I have no written this into the workbook attached).
VB:
Dim i As Long
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim sht As worksheet
[Code] .....
As I read in previous posts, Formula1 cannot contain an actual formula, only names and lists of items. Since each of the cells will have a changing reference, thus the INDIRECT function would need to change to reflect this, The 'Secondary' name consists of the following:
"=INDIRECT(OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN()), 0,-1)))"
Which of course does not work due to the error when using INDIRECT in the first place (though the Address() function appropriately finds the cell with the validation in it's appropriate address). I can think of other ways to do this, such as having validation lists change in with VBA on a SelectionChange or Change event, but that's a lot of code that is subject to change when the named ranges have changes to them (which is fairly frequent). Is there any way to get the .Validation.Add method to ignore errors in the name supplied to it.
For reference, my code is this:
VB:
Private Sub cmdRefreshValidation_Click()
'Re-enters validation parameters to all cells to allow selections
Dim i As Long
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim sht As Worksheet
[Code] .....
Is 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.

I'm trying to figure a to enforce dual data validation on a single cell. That is, I need to restrict the user to entering only a decimal value, only if a particular other cell (say A2) is blank. To put it another way, if A2 is blank, the user can enter a decimal value, but if A2 is not blank, the user cannot enter anything. I can use Data Validation to enforce either the decimal restriction or the ISBLANK, but I'm not sure how to make them work together.

I have attached a sheet that I am working on. I want cell G1 to be less than or equal to 165. That cell contains a formula. If the formula takes the number to over 165 the validation is allowing it.

We have our system set up with 2 folders one with blank forms and the other with these forms filled out and completed (records), is their a trick to removing the data from a completed form fast with out removing tables and text used to make the forms questions?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to create a range of VBA userforms to quickly perform long tedious tasks. I want these userforms to be accessed from a nice tidy toolbar.

Is this sort of thing possible or does it require them to manually install all my userforms, modules and toolbar? If it is possible what sort of things should I be looking at?

If I check the box labeled catagory name on the intial creation or within chart options on the right click menu each data point gets labeled with the name of the catagory.

I'm looking at what appears to be a custom chart. It is a box divided into 4 equal quadrants. In each quadrant is a percentage with the total equaling 100%. In each of the quadrants there is fill equal to the percent that is numerically written in that quadrant. I'll post a picture with this, but if I was talking cells then....
A1 = 15% B1 = 66%
A2 = 4% B2 = 15%
The backround image behind the number is filled up by volume equal to the percentage indicated. They are also color coded with red representing the highest percentage quadrant filled.
To top that, there are little arrows along the sides of each quadrant indicating an average score.
My first question is WHAT TYPE OF CHART IS THIS THING!, and second can this be done in excel?
I have a custom range I'll be copying from one sheet (a single entry registration form) that I'm adding to another (an "all entries" sheet) with a button assigned to a macro.
[Code].....
I then loop through the range, copying the cell from Sheet1 to Sheet2.
[Code]....
All works perfect, but I need to manipulate the data a little. If B3 from Sheet1 equals a certain string, I want to manipulate the data From Sheet1 B6 & B7 to paste into Sheet2 Column 1, otherwise paste B3 into Sheet2 Column1.
Again, my loop and everything works if I put B3 into Column1, B6 into Column2, and B7 into Column3, but it doesn't play well with the reporting I want to do later from this sheet.
Data Example
[Code]....
What I'm trying to do is
if B3 <> "NEW TEAM" then put B3 (Joe Smith on Sparkles) into the new sheet column1
if B3 = "NEW TEAM" then put "B6 on B7" (Jane Doe on Fluffy) into the new sheet in column1 (where B6 and B7 are the strings, obviously).
I haven't figured out how, in my loop, to access the data in (myCell + 1) and (myCell + 2) while I'm on the first cell (myCell). I could do it by jumping back to the Sheet1("B6") and Sheet1("B7") but I'm trying to write reusable code, and this range might change, so I'm trying to be a little more flexible than hard coding in more cells.

I have a line chart (multiple series) in which I am trying to display custom tooltips on the data points. The source for these custom tooltips are the Notes columns in the first worksheet. The code (which I've copied from an internet site) is working to some degree but I'm not sure how to modify it to pick up the notes column as the content for the tooltips. Also, the example I took this from only had one line whereas I will have 5 when the chart is complete.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need a function/macro that will find all rows that have a specified value in column A and extract selected columns to a new spreadsheet. More, I need it to do it for every value in column A.
I would also like it to skip creation of new worksheet if value in selected row and column is null.*
I've been trying to combat this problem with advanced filters, which helped, but due to size of the data and range of values in column A it takes an entire day to process manually. Because the data is exported to another program after it's processed, it can't stay in the same sheet, also, linking back to the original sheet doesn't work because the data changes all the time.
I'm looking to create a new file from data in my table. I don't want to even imagine having to do this manually again...I'm optimistic there is a solution. All the data needed to create the file is in the table, but i need it stacked and organized in a weird way. It's almost to hard to explain...so I color coded an attachement that basically says it all. It's pretty much the same thing repeated over and over except the last 2 lines. It's just a really messed up organization. In the real version I need the new file in a new workbook. I'm extremely grateful to anyone who can automate this thing
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel worksheet that contains many data structures, each one consisting of an array of cells, say a3:z13, a14:z24, a15:z25 etc. I can code a custom object to easily access the data in the structure but only after I load the structure into the custom object in memory. What I'm looking for is a way to assign the structure to a custom object for accessing without having to load the custom object.
