I have a data validation list, but i dont want the user to be able to make the cell blank. I have 5 items in the list and i wont to make sure they choose one. But the data validation allows them to enter blank.
I'm trying to do a Data Validation list where there is a range from A1:A10 named List, but there are only values in A1:A5.
For the drop down menu, I've done the Data Validation and List, and made it =List. The problem with that is, I only want the drop down to give the options if there is a value (A1:A5 not all of A1:A10). I thought that the Ignore blanks feature would do that, but it does absolutely nothing.
I have created data validation list which has 3 flags (Yes, No and Blank). Normally the user will select either Yes or No from column C but i want each time there is no value in either row A or B; i want the code to automatically to select Blank. So basically every time row A or B are blank i want the corresponding row C to be selected "Blank". See attached for more details.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a data entry worksheet where a user may use the space bar to delete a wrong entry instead of the delete key. How can I allow this without triggering an error message for a cell which is valid for blanks or a positive number including 2 decimals? The checkbox for "Ignore Blanks" does NOT ignore this is the cell is blanked with the space bar.

View 8 Replies View RelatedIn column A I have a list of text. There are blank lines in between the cell that actually contain text. What I am trying to accomplish is create a validation list that will give me only the cells with text in them and ignore the blanks. For example in column A1:A7 I have the following text:
John
Mike
Tony
Jake
My validation list will return those names but will also give me the blanks in between the names.
Is there any way to ignore the blanks?
I have a table for gym members and each member is assigned a unique member number.

I wish to create a data validation field that wont allow you to leave the cells blank or use the same code twice.
this was my attempt that failed: =AND(ISERROR(MATCH(A:A, A2, 0)) <>FALSE, A2<>""
I would like to be able to make the same thing and select items for my drop down list, that are not blak and follow a specific condition. But I don't know how to include the condition in the array formula.
The condition I need is follow:
I want to have a dropdown list with Items that are not blank, and First N > Last N.

It would be preferred to have formulas.
I have 2 validation boxes. The first is a simple list of 5 options (based on
a 'name' range). The second is a filter of a larger list depending on the
answer in the first box. I have made my 'name' range as big as the largest
list but other lists are quite short. The problem I have it that the drop
down box is showing all the blank cells in my 'name' range.
The bigger problem is that when you select the pull down it highlights the
blank field first instead of the first item on the list so you have to scroll
up. This is a problem as staff think there is nothing on the list. So how do
I either not show the blanks or get the drop down to start at the top of the
list?
Is there any way to exclude the blank in data validation-under validation criteria-lists. an example is include.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 columns First Name & Surname. What I want to do is create a data validation list on the surname which results in the 2nd data validation list only showing the first names which link to one of the surnames.
i.e. If I selected Smith in the 1st validation list then I would only like to see 'Paul' as an option in the 2nd list
First Name
Surname
Paul
Smith

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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if it's possible to populate a data validation list based on what is selected from 4 validation lists?
for example:
On sheet1:
If 'Group1' is selected from data validation list1 then data validation list5 will show a list of all items from Group1. If 'Group2' is selected from data validation list2, then data validation list5 will display all the items in 'Group2'...
(I do not want to use a combo box for this)

I want filter data with blanks cells.
I have a list of data in a column that has blanks along the way.However, I don't just want to fill it up with the one above, or the one below.
If the data is in column B, I want to fill it such that where the row above has the same criteria in column A, column B for the above row is returned.Otherwise, column B in the row below should be filled in instead.I have set up example data below to illustrate.

I have a VLOOKUP formula and if it looks and does not find a match it will either put a "0" or a N/A. Is there something I can add to it to leave the cell blank if it does not find a match?
View 9 Replies View RelatedBasically I have a =VLOOKUP(E2,Sheet3!$A$1:$C$7442,2,FALSE) And sometimes it doesnt find the number its looking up, so theres no data to display, so it just shows #N/A is there anyway I can make the =VLOOKUP(E2,Sheet3!$A$1:$C$7442,2,FALSE) display "not found" if it doesnt find anything?
also sometimes if it does find the number its looking up, and the cell next to it is blank, it just displays 0. I could filter it.. and then just replace all the 0 and #N/A with not found, but im just wondering if i could do it in the code too.
I've developed a VBA application for excel in my english version. Now I sent to the client, wich is dutch and use dutch office. they say it gives errors at simple lines like TextBox1.Left=100. It seems there is no Left property. I installed their office but Left is there for me. I suspect their configuration have some version of VBA with translated code language... like using Links instead Left... wich is same thing for dutch. What could cause VBA translation of properties so I can have same configuration as they do?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to count back the last 6 cells in column S which has data (ignoring any blank cells) and add them up.
My data is ranging betwen S62:S143 (with S144 being the cell that I want to show the total for the last 6 cells with data). I have column headings and various other bits of data from S1:S61 that I want to exclude completely but need to keep for historical purposes.
Here is an example of some of the data in column S:
56
BLANK CELL

34
BLANK CELL
BLANK CELL
37
BLANK CELL

42

46
49
BLANK CELL
BLANK CELL

35
This is my formula so far:
=SUM(OFFSET(S62,0,0,COUNTA(S62:S143)))
I have tried adding a negative and positive number on the end of the COUNTA formula but all it does is count all the cells within that given heigh range, not a specific number of cells with data.
I don't specifically need to use SUM. As long as I get a total.
I have a table populated with values for given dates. Some days there is no data. I would like a separate table over to the right to automatically populate with only the date and data.... (no spaces). I will attach an example problem to this Thread.

For the most part, I can read and decipher VBA code...but when it comes to constructing my own code...I am deluged with syntax errors and run-time errors...
Here, specifically, is what I am trying to do:
I have a column...(Let's say Column A)...that contains 1300 items to start with.
Once an item is selected by the user, a new list is created in Column B that mirrors Column A with the "selected" items "removed"...(the cell is blank).
As each item is selected, (and "removed"), I want a third list created in Column C that lists all of the items in Column B, but skips the "blanks". ("Blanks" is in quotes to stress that these cells are NOT EMPTY. They each contain a formula).

I attached an example of how its is formatted...
The problem is, in column A "DBA" and D, "Address", some of the data contain 2 rows, and others contain 3 rows.
When I try to sort by DATE, for example, it ends up splitting up the addresses alphabetically...
How can I sort this data, by any of the columns, while still keeping the ADDRESS together?
I hope this makes sense to someone because it is driving me NUTS.

When I try to sort, it tells me I have to unmerge the cells.. but then when i sort, it alphebetizes everything seperatley so the addresses get splut up...
In a chart if you display data labels is there a way of avoiding a zero being displayed if the relevant cell is the result of a formula?
It seems that even if the result of that formula is a blank or 'n/a' it is still displayed as 0.
