I am quite inexperienced with Excel and I am struggling to understand how should I set up a formula, within the data validation function to achieve the following:
I need to restrict a certain set of cells, for people to be able to input only the following values: "1", "0.5", "A", "H", "0.5A" (or 0.5a), "0.5H" (or 0.5h)
And I would need the data validation tool not to include blank cells.
I'm having issues with Excel's 2010 conditional formatting. Seems easy to use, but I'm trying to highlight values based on 2 columns of numerical data. Example:
Column F:
6
6
14
Column L:
3
NA
17
I would like Column L to highlight values that are greater than Column F in green. If they are less than Column L then highlight them in red.
Seems I was able to do this with Excel 2003, but I don't understand the 2010 version.
Is it possible once you have assigned text a numerical value (example: Adam = 12) to add them together? (example: adam =12 and bob = 8, therefore adam + bob = 20)
I've got a spreadsheet and I've used data validation to look at a list on another tab.
I need to be able to multiply values out based on what i choose on the drop down menu.

Hi all, first post here.
I've been asked to do something in excel i can't seem to get my head around.
My client provides me with data in the form
1c, 1b, 1a, 2c, 2b, 2a, 3c etc... where 1a is the lowest.
I need to find a way of working out the difference between these, e.g.
edit: 2a - 1c = 5
I've been working on it and have made some headway by splitting these with MID function and then using CODE to try and work out a unique ID for each, but i can't help feeling there's an easier way!
I am working up a workbook template that will be used to process survey results. The way I ultimatley want it to work is that the user can paste data from another application into a worksheet in Excel, and then view analysed results on a second sheet (which are processed via formulae on a third, hidden sheet).
The problem I have is this: the data from the program that's capturing them are text values. For example, column B contains answers to a question where participants rate an experience, and the values are either "Excellent", "Good", "Fair", "Poor", "Awful". I want these to be converted to numerical values, on a scale where "Excellent" = 5 and "Awful" = 1, so that I can then average these.
So, the question is: Can I somehow tell Excel that "Excellent" = 5 and "Good" = 4 etc, and then use AVERAGE(B:B) on the text data and get a number back?
I did think of having an intermediate sheet that used VLOOKUP to create a copy of the first sheet (where the user pastes the text data) with the text replaced by numbers. But, because I don't know in advance how many rows will contain data (i.e. how many survey results there will be), I have to assume on the high side and copy down 50,000 rows. But, this takes ages to calculate.
I am trying to do is a summary of numerical values, based on several conditions.
column a column b column c
local loop live cross connect
loop A cancel 100
long haul live 10000
long haul pend canc 1000
loop Z live 100
x-conn live cross connect
In column a, i have several choices and i want to focus on those choices that fall into column B "live" or "pend canc" and then only have numerical data in column C
I've tried several different formulas like
=SUMPRODUCT((a30:a38="Loop A")*(a30:a38="Long Haul")+(b30:b38="Live"),cX30:cX38)
I know the result of this should be 111000 but it's not working...I usually get n/a. I know about using cntl-shift-enter to use the formula properly.
I can get one variable to sum up properly using =SUMIF(M9:M21,"Live",BW9:BW21)
but, that leaves out anything that is pend-canc
I have also tried =SUM(IF((a9:a21="long haul")*(b9:b21="live"),cX9:cX21)) which gives back a value that is accurate.....
Is it possible to validate a string with both numbers and text with a formula using data validation? (I don't want to use a User Defined Function)
in Column C, Starting in cell C2 I have a 12 character string of six numbers, four letters, and two numbers. like this:
280838ZNOV11
is it possible to use a Custom Data Validation formula to ensure the user follows this format?
I'm putting together an Environment Threat Assessment for work and want to automate as much of it as I can to alleviate the amount of time ppl have to spend putting values in. My main problem is I have three very important columns: Likelihood, Success Rating and Risk Rating. Likelihood and Success Rating values will be selected from the following:
VL - Very Low
L - Low
M - Medium
H - High
VH - Very High
Each of these is given a value: VL = 1, L = 2, M = 3, H = 4, VH = 5.
The Risk Rating is the result of multiplying the Likelihood and Success Rating. So a Likelihood of Medium and a Success Rating of Low will give a Risk Rating of 6. Therefore, the cells on my spreadsheet would look like this:
Likelihood Success Rating Risk Rating
M L 6
The issue is I want a couple of things to occur. Firstly I want keep the values in my Likelihood and Success Rating cells as letters (ie. VL, H, VH etc) rather than numbers, while still generating a number result in the Risk Rating cells. Secondly I'd like to be able to change the colour of the Risk Rating cell to reflect the number it gets assigned. For example Green for < 8, Amber for 9 – 14 and Red for 15 – 25. I've been trying to do this with array formulas and am basically going around in circles with no success.
Can I limit the text length in a cell that contains a formula? You may say "Limit the text length in the input cell". That can't be done because the formula in the resultant cell takes text from two other cells in addition to the input cell. I need to limit the overall text length to, let say, 50 characters.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a single column of numerical values that may repeat many times within
the column.
I require a flexible Formula:
Use an Input Cell for the specified and changeable Percentage(s) %.
Column may be filtered – so only take into account Visible Filtered Cells.
The Formula will calculate and Return the numerical range of values that fall
between the specified percentage % (using the Input Cell) e.g.; 70%.
The Formula should Return two numeric values: a Start Value and an End Value
– NOT necessarily the minimum and maximum per se BUT the MIN and MAX of the
values that appear 70% of the time in the column; therefore, taking into
account Repeat / Duplicate values.
The calculated Results: the two numeric values will be returned to separate
cells on a new Sheet.
I am using the following formula to find out the No. of "HH" in the range given and I am getting the results simply with numerical value as 2, 3 etc. I want the result should be displayed as 2HH, 3HH depending upon the No. of "HH" available in the given range. The result should be displayed as (the No. added with the text "HH").
=IF(AND(DJ10="HH"),COUNTIF(DF10:DJ10,"HH"),"-")
I use excel 2002.
A2's validation is dynamic as it's selectables varies based on the selection made by the A1 Validation. (=indirect(a1)).
My problem is this....once if have selected from both validations...if I go back and change the A1 validation to a blank (or empty value) or clear the contents on that cell....validation A2's value remains as it was. I would like it to recognize that A1 is blank and also become blank (or goto an empty value).
Need the code to make a graph (bar diagram) based on the only the rows with numerical data in a column, where there is also blanks and NA. The graph I would like to make and the data-structure are shown in the file Graphs.xls. When updating the graph later on the cells with data may have changed (i.e. new rows with data may have been added)

I am trying to get excel to search a workbook/(or worksheet if easier) for a matching unique value and fill in its associated data. My first workbook has the SKU (A) filled in but not the UPC (B). My second workbook has both the SKU (A) and the matching UPC (C) filled in.
I need to take both workbooks/(worksheets), compare the SKUs, and if a matching SKU is found, extract the UPC from Workbook 2 and fill in the UPC field in Workbook 1, and if no UPC is present in Workbook 2, then it leaves the cell in Workbook 1 blank.
I have the following macro that exports pdf's for every value in a validation list. Currently it's setup where I have included each value in the macro. This is fine with just a few values but I am about to add 900.
My question is, is there a way to write the macro so it exports a pdf for every value within a dropdown list until it hits a null value instead of what I have below so i don't have to repeat everything for every value in the list?
Here is what i currently have.

I have a drop down validation list on sheet A that refers to my list on sheet B. I would like to formulate a cell on sheet C to give a value from a cell on sheet D based on which item is chosen from the validation list.
View 4 Replies View RelatedNeed VBA macro that will copy & paste (Special > AS VALUES) from one of two (Data A & B) sheets based on the contents of a validation cell ($D$4) in a third (Report) sheet? The destination starting cell would be $F$11. ALSO - I'd like to have the Named Ranges "DataAExtract" & "DataBExtract" used in the code (for the COPY region) so I can see an example of how to reflect my actual named ranges in my working file.
The reason for doing this is that the "c.Characters...." lines in my conditional formatting macros (attached) are not working on cells containing formula output (in my working file the Report page is all populated by VLOOKUP results), but the macros run fine on hard-coded values. In my attached workbook, I'd like to have the "NEW" macro for the copy & paste step fire first in the sequence of macros running after the FORM button-click (control located in cell $D$5 of the Report sheet), whether that's by writing a new macro and calling mine before the new one ends, OR by consolidating all of my macros plus the new one into one smooth progression.
With this low-tech approach I can get updated VALUES into the report area once the user selects a data source and a customer on the report sheet. The COPY ranges in my working spreadsheet will update based on the selections made in the report page. I tried recording a macro and then modifying the recorded code to add the "If > Then" functionality I'm looking for, but I'm pretty green when it comes to VBA code and syntax.
I seek to create a date validation list based on information is another cell (see images)
Based on (data validated list) Cell B4 - have a validation list drawn from another tab on the same worksheet "Sub regions"
equally the same with sub regions and citys...
I've looked through the forum, and have seen several requests for data validation defaults, but not related to cells that need to repopulate to defaults based on an action. I'm attaching my worksheet to get an understanding of what I'm trying to accomplish.

in data validation i have taken a list & assigned it to defined named range say industry ( 50 - 100 industries which are repetitive in nature)
now the problem is the data is neither sorted nor unique
but i want unique sorted data (i can not make changes in original data because of its other various linkages nested formulas)
We receive payments in either USD or HNL. I want to be able to have a final price (last column) that puts all prices in USD. I have a reference cell on a separate worksheet (drop down inputs) that we will use to store the data for validations and the conversion rate. We use one conversion rate for all transactions for a fiscal year, so only need to update once a year. Not sure how to make this work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to assign text using data validation?
Right now, the three cells I'm using for data validation contain text, but return a number to the linked cell.
I am having two problems ....
1) I have a field for which the user MUST enter text information. It can't be left empty. I set validation on the cell ... Text Length must be greater than 0. It still allows the user to hit enter without entering information without an error message and a retry.
2) In another field, the user has the option to enter (text) info or not. It can be left blank. The value in this cell, empty or other, is copied to another cell in another worksheet. The problem is ... the destination cell gets a value of 0 when the user field is left blank. The value of 0 in the destination cell can't be there ... I need that cell empty.
Is it possible to force a cell entry (using Data Validation) to either a whole number or a value? In other words, I would like the data in a cell to be either a whole number between 10,000 and 20,000 or "N/A". I can do it with VBA, but Data Validation (if it's possible) would be better.
