Data Validation On Hyperlinks
Jun 5, 2006
I tried to establish a data validation cell (C3) depending on a list (A2:A3).
Cell C3 DOES NOT maintain the Hyperlink that can be clicked.
It results with the pure text of the Hyperlink (can not be clicked).
Cell E3, however, seems to be some of a solution but I would like your opinion if there is something that can "force" cell C3 to maintain its Hyperlink feature.
btw, is there no answe to my question in the following address:
Find a File and present its location (Path) in a MsgBox

how can I use a list of "HOT" Hyperlinks un a Data Validation Cell because upon picking up an item in that cell actually DID NOTHING (didn't transfer me to the required page).
It was regarding Mail addresses and/or URLs.
I got as an answer - to choose that cell > press [F2] > [ENTER].
This was fine and works very well.
Now, I tried the same "trick" on something very similar.
Instead of Hot "Outside" Hyperlinks - I defined links to some cells IN THE SAME SHEET (Cells A1: A5).
Cell C3 is declared as Data Validation from the 'List' A1:A5.
(Pls take a look at the attched picture)
Unfortunately, I did not managed to be able to choose on of the links and to be transferred to the correct cell.
In fact, choosing an Item DOES NOTHING.

I need to put together a report for work.
What I want to do is this:
Create a drop menu. The options within the drop menu to be links (either to another Excel worksheet within the same workbook, or a WORD document).
I know how to create a drop menu, that is simple, but am not sure how to do the hyperlink aspect.
It seems when I actually insert>hyperlink onto the actual text of the drop menu (on the other sheet where i created the drop menu data), the hyperlink is not active in the actual drop menu itself.

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 a spreadsheet and within the first sheet there are lots of hyperlinks to other cells within sheet 1 (my template).
I have made a small macro which very basically makes a copy of sheet 1 (my template)
The hyperlinks in the template are explicit and as they are copied to sheet two, they still reference back to cells in sheet 1. I need the hyperlinks to be relative, so that when I make a copy of the template the hyperlinks are copied and make reference to cells in the new sheet. I cannot work out how this should be done

I 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
Paul
Jones
Tony
Phillips

I have a spreadsheet that I have various formulas and sheets. To simplify:
Sheet 1: Columns A & B have Name and Code Number. I can add additional names and code numbers to these two columns whenever necessary.
Example:
Tom 874
John 385
David 712
Hidden in adjoining columns are formulas to automatically sort them via Code Number. Next to that are the columns showing the sorted information, sorted by number.
John 385
David 712
Tom 874
Additionally, I have a seperate sheet for Tom, John & David. Since I put Tom in first, he's Sheet 2. John is Sheet 3, and David is Sheet 4. I can use hyperlinks so when I click on John, it goes to Sheet 3; David Sheet 4; Tom Sheet 2.
Now, let's say I add Kevin 192 to the next row. The hidden columns are set up so that it'll automatically resort Kevin to the top, with John, David & Tom in the next rows down.
The issue I have with the hyperlink is that it's cell specific, not content specific, as far as I know. I would like the hyperlink to move with John's info so that it would still go to Sheet 3. Same with David and Tom. Unfortunately, after the resort, If I clicked on Kevin's name (which is now at the top of the list), it would go to John's sheet, since the hyperlink is attached to that cell.
How to allow a hyperlink to remain with the content, versus the cell? I would prefer it to be not a macro, but I'll take a macro over nothing!

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.

I 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'd like to create a drop down list in data validation from a column of data that contains numerous duplicates.
For example, let's say column A contained hundreds of transactions with either North, South, East and West, how could I create a drop down list in another cell that only had four selection options?

Essentially, I would like a user to be able to select a PUB from the Data Validation drop down in row 2 of the PUB RATES sheet so that the corresponding information in the DATA sheet autofills.
Currently, this works only for the first column under each PUB when selected and this fills across all 4 columns (rather than the respective information for each column filling).
Also, the Data Validation dropdown includes blanks which I would like to exclude.
I have used a Range Name for the Data Validation of each PUB so that these can be drawn from a separate sheet as I don't want all the DATA content on the same sheet as the PUB RATES content.

I want to load the actual data exist in the rows by selection value from the data validation list.
E.g I have two worksheet in one excel file. One has a data activities of persons with their name like two columns i have in which one exist the name of person and second exist the activities which they perform.
On the second sheet, i made a data validation list of all the person names
Now my requirement is, when i select a person name from the list, load all the data from the 1st sheet to second sheet. Is this possible without VB code, because I want to share it on the Google sheet with my boss, where VB sheet is not supposed to work.

I am trying to learn the concepts, then apply them to a set of actual worksheets. I am trying to use named ranges from one worksheet in another worksheet. The named ranges need to expand. Although I can get the add data to a dummy worksheet to work within the same worksheet and I can even get a named range to work in the foreign sheet.
My problem is, when I can end up adding the additional data to the named range, it will only add one name. I have a number of named ranges that are referenced on various worksheets. The idea is, certain named ranges should be able to expand so I donft have to type them all in. (There could be hundreds of manufacturers or models.) I would also like them to be able to sort themselves after additional names are added to the named ranges. I would also like them to auto populate as well. I am using Excel 2003 SP3 (11.8307.8221). I have enclosed the file. Drop down lists (named ranges) are on the worksheet called DROP DOWN LISTS (LOCKED) **ITfS NOT CURRENTLY LOCKED**.
The data validation issues are on the worksheet called Rev7.0 Wood (Basic Sheet.) There are other instances to use these, but I hope to learn to do them myself on the other worksheets. Of particular interest is Column f.................

In 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?

creating a spreadsheet for work which is almost working a treat Unfortunately, when a row of data moves from one sheet (Queries) to another (Archive), data validation is lost. Initially I thought I daidn't have it set up on the Archive sheet, but on moving it back to queries (by use of a macro) the validation is still not working. how to keep validation rules WITH data when it is moved please? I will upload my file when I get home from work....network restrictions prevent me doing it here!

I would like to utilize data validation to create a drop down list from a list of 100 rows that changes monthly. Currently the list is set to draw data from A1:A100, however depending on the month, different cells will have data in them. What I don't like is currently the blank cells create gaps in the data validation drop down list and make it longer than it needs to be. Is there any way for excel to automatically just display cells with data in them in the drop down?

have created a list obx using data validation. My question is, is there a way to limit the data available on the list.
Example: sheet 1
A1 A2 A3
Address A
address p
address s Date
Sheet 2
has data validation list that consists of all of A1 a named range called "address". Everything works great.
I now want to be able to limit the available choices in the list depending on what cell the user is in
example: if user is in sheet2 a1, i only want them to be able to pick address that have an "A" or "p" in cell A2 on sheet 1
I tried to acomplish this using conditional formatting, I format my named range with different colors, but the colors do not carry over to the data validation list on sheet2.

I have limited ability with Excel, and I'm trying to create a database using the Data/Form menu choices. My problem is I only want specific data in two of the 20 or so fields. When I use Data/ Validation and direct data entry, I get exactly what I want, EXCEPT that the choices don't come up when I use the Data/Form. Users can enter anything they want, which defeats the purpose. I tried to build a user form to use for data entry, but I don't know how to get it to add items to a database or lookup items like the data/form process does. I also want to add a few macro buttons to the form to do other things.
I am pretty sure of a few things: 1) This should be pretty simple. Anyone knowing VBA would probably know how to do this in minutes. I found some code that did a simliar function, but couldn't interpret it to fit my needs, which brings me to 2) I'll never use VBA or complicated macros again. I don't have the need for them. This is just an isolated incident. Therefore, signing up for a class would be useless to me. I tried to locate some advanced Excel/VBA classes, hoping to find an instructor or even a student who would welcome a simple challenge, but there are none available.

I want to add a validation list to a spread sheet using a named ranged. Easy enough so far, but if the range only has two values which are repeated several (hundred) times - Yes & No - how can i stop the value appearing on the list more than once?
I'm open to other suggestions with this such as using list boxes etc, just so long as i can get around it without having to maintain a seperate spreadsheet of the values i would like to appear in my list.

I have 2 sheets in a workbook. The first sheet is 'working loads' and the second is 'completed loads'. I enter data into the 'working loads' sheet. When that row of data is completed, I mark a x into the 'completed' column, when I put the 'x' into that column it sends that row of data over to the 'completed loads' sheet.
This is my problem, when I enter data into the 'working loads' sheet into the 'Bill to" column, because it is not restricted it can be entered any way the user decides to enter it. When it goes to the 'completed' sheet, the 'bill to' is entered in 2 or 3 ways depending on how the user entered it in the beginning on the 'working loads' sheet.
I want the user to be restricted on how the data is entered on the 'working loads' sheet so that I don't end up with the 2 or 3 ways it was entered for the same client on the 'completed loads' sheet. I also need to add to the the list if it has not been used in the 'bill to' info as we get new clients weekly.
I currently am physically changing the 'bill to' info on the 'completed loads' sheet manually so that the client is entered only once, but as the year goes on the list grows as I might have 5000 rows of data with the same client entered 2 or 3 different ways.
