I have a list of names I used in data validation (dropdown list)....I need to add more names to the list....What is the best way to change the range to include new listings? Is the offset function suitable for data validation? How do you use the Offset function in data validation?
View 2 Repliesi have two sheets in workbook named as shtbiz,shtbiz1.
so column A of my shtbiz1 sheet i have 100 datas.the by using following code i can fill the datas of shtbiz1 in column A of shtbiz.
Dim strValItems
strValItems = ""
Set rngValList = ShtBiz1.Range("A6", Range("A10000").End(xlUp))
With ShtBiz.Range("A6:A10000")
. Validation.Delete
For Each rngValCell In rngValList
If Len(strValItems) > 0 Then strValItems = strValItems & ","
strValItems = strValItems & rngValCell.Value
Next
.Validation.Add xlValidateList, , , strValItems
End With
so my problem is i need to add blank value in the top of the list .ie first value should be blank then other values which read from shtbiz1 has to be followed.
I created validation list using Validation option in Data menu. Now I would like to change font for that list.

BaseCase!$O:$O
I have a data validation from which the user can choose another tab.
So, how do I change the reference above to:
TabName!$O:$O

I tried to use TEXT to no avail. I imagine there is a simple solution, but I am at a loss.
INDIRECT perhaps?
I have a Data Validation Listbox and I basically want to run a macro when a selection changed in the Listbox.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am building an Excel file that will be used to track information and at the core of it all is a list of people from different offices where the number of people per office can change and/or a person leaves the company and is replaced by another. I'll simply:
Column A Column B
Office Employee
Hamilton Emp 1
Hamilton Emp 2
Hamilton Emp 3
Toronto Emp 4
Toronto Emp 5
Toronto Emp 6
Toronto Emp 7
Toronto Emp 8
Waterloo Emp 9
Waterloo Emp 10
This will be all on Worksheet 'Info'. I have a Worksheet for each Office and named them accordingly. On each worksheet I want to use Data Validation on a column, we will call it 'ChosenOne', set it as 'List' and have the Source pull all the employee names that belong to that office and use them as a selection
ex: Hamilton Worksheet, 'ChosenOne' would show Emp 1, Emp 2, and Emp 3 in the list.
If Emp 3 changed offices to Waterloo 6 months from now I would like to change A4 from Hamilton to Waterloo and the formula would not have to be changed and the next time someone selects 'ChosenOne' it would only show Emp 1 and Emp 2.
Of course this means on the Waterloo Worksheet, 'ChosenOne' would show Emp 3, Emp 9, Emp 10 now.
So basically I am trying to not specify a specific named range for each office and am hoping there is a way to poll information from a Table (or any other tool that can simplify this).
I would be ok with something like:
Column A Column B
Office Employee
Hamilton Emp 1, Emp2, Emp 3
Toronto Emp 4, Emp 5, Emp 6, Emp 7, Emp 8
Waterloo Emp 9, Emp 10
and just move Emp 3 from B2 to B4 but I don't know if a list can be created from multiple items in a single cell seperated by a , or ; or :.
I have created (via recording) a very simple macro in Microsoft Word to convert a fraction of the form a/b to the form where a is directly over b with a horizontal line between them (like how you would actually write it in math class). Before I send it to my co-workers, I want to beef it up a little.
Right now, it will only work if a and b are integers or if a and b are words or phrases with no spaces (i.e. change/time will convert correctly but the phrase change in x/change in y will not). Also, it would be great if it could work with parenthesis (i.e. (2x-1)/(2x+1)).
Just so you know, I am very comfortable working with code in order to come up with a beefier macro. However, Word uses Visual Basic and I'm afraid I don't know much about the syntax of that code. So, if any of you know of a site I could view to learn a little Visual Basic or if you know a site that already has good code already written for this purpose, I would be much obliged.
I have a bit of code that calls a formatting sub depending on which cell is modified. It is triggered by the Worksheet_Change event, determines which cell is modified, and either calls the formatting sub or doesn't based on the location of the modified cell.
Some of the columns in the sheet have data validation with drop downs. If I select a value from the drop down, it doesn't trigger the Worksheet_Change. If I type a value into the same cell, it does.
This was apparently an issue in Excel '97, but supposedly fixed in '03?
I'm having some trouble with a spreadsheet copy.
I have a spreadsheet listed out with 2-3 pieces of data per row like:
Mark - abc
John - def
John - ghi
Abby - xyz
etc.
What I need to do is create a new file for each unique string in column A. So for my brief example above, the "Mark" file would have 1 row, the "John" file would have 2 rows, etc. I also need to save the new file by the name in the first column (so "mark.xls"). (Conveniently, the table is sorted by the first column already.)
What I did was create a new worksheet for each row and then save that as my file. However I'm having problems getting my file to contain more than one row (I can get either the first or last row, but not all of them). I have about 30 spreadsheets to do this for, and each will create 80+ files... I'd really rather not do them by hand.
I'm on Excel 2007 if that matters.
I cobbled together some code I found in various places and this is what I have so far:
Code:
Sub CreateWorkbooks()
Dim newSheet As Worksheet, regionSheet As Worksheet, CurSheet As Worksheet
Dim cell As Object
Dim regionRange As String
Dim lngRows As Long
Dim CurRow As Long
[Code]...
(note that the comments are what it is supposed to be doing, not necessarily what it is doing)
I need the values that are copied from the template to copy over in text form from the "Data" Tab. Secondly, the master sheet has multiple lines for each vendor. For the area highlighted in red I'd like for it to copy all cells in column C for the vendor and search the vendor by name. Then, move to the next sheet.

Is there any way to use a Named Range in the "Source" field in a Data Validation? I have multiple sheets in a workbook that have the same layout, and I am using alot of different Data Validations. My problem is that whenever I need to change, or add a choice to one of these, I have to go to each sheet and change the Data Validations that are effected by that change. Is there a way to use a "Named Range" or something to put all of my acceptable choices, for that Data Validation, in one spot. And make any changes I had to that field.

In need data validation in a range of cells (lets keep it to A1 for the example please). The data being entered is a 9 digit number, which needs to satisfy the following:
The 7th and 8th characters should be equal to an even number and be greater than zero, but less than 35.
Example 1: If 123456789 is entered in the cell, this would return an error because 78 (although being an even number) is above 35.
Example 2: If 987654321 is entered in the cell this would be allowed as 32 is an even number and less than 35.
I have a cell for which I need the only options for data to be entered from a list in two different tabs from which I understand cant be done but is it possible to have two drop down options for the same cell?
The attached spreadsheet should explain this slightly better...
I have a monthly report showing actuals and budget for current month (or quarter) and year to date. Range names have been created for (1) each month, (2) each quarter and (3) year to date). I'm using the SUMPRODUCT function to extract information by account. For example:
=SUMPRODUCT(($A9=ACT_Account)*(ACT_Jan))
This formula works except I have to replace the "ACT_Jan" each month accordingly. Can a data validation list be created with the range names so that updating this formula monthly can be simplified? For example, changing "ACT_Jan" to "ACT_Feb" with a drop down list.
I have three codes (P, /P, P/) that could be entered in range H5:P5. P is counted as 1; P/ and /P are both counted as ½.
I have the following formula in D5:
=COUNTIF(H5:S5,"P")+COUNTIF(H5:S5,"P/")/2+COUNTIF(H5:S5,"/P")/2
I entered the following formula for data validation:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(H5:S5="P"))+SUMPRODUCT(--(H5:S5="P/")/2)+SUMPRODUCT(--(H5:S5="/P")/2)
I have a range (offset based) which may increase by rows or columns whenever necessary.
In that I have data table like this:
HUNONETWOTHREEFOURFIVESIX
100110021003100410051006100
200120022003200420052006200
300180028003800480058006800
400140024003400440054006400
500150025003500450055006500
In the above table I want to enter in another column or row, a number which is not available in the given table (i.e. no duplication is allowed). (This table may grow both column & row wise). If, duplication is there the message box should say that the value already exist. And, if possible, the existing value can be colored with any color, so that we can easily find out where it is.
1) how to name a offset table and
2) how to avoid duplicate value when entered? Is data validation is one solution?
I'm writing a function which includes the need to merge 2 ranges into 1 new Range object. The problem is that adding a breakpoint just after this occurs, and viewing the immediates, the new range only actually contains the first input range
For testing, and displaying here I've placed the 2 sub-Ranges into temp objects
[Code]....
The breakpoint is on the next line (not shown), so I can view all the Locals
tempyR1 and tempyR2 both are Range objects containing the correct Range data as expected from the code
However, objExcelRange only contains exactly the same as tempyR2
I'm using the Locals to check as this new combined Range will undergo further processing before being placed onto a sheet, and the combined Range will actually be generated dynamically depending on what options the user picks from a second sheet within the WorkBook - which could in fact be created from between 2 and 5 sub-Ranges
A range of cells is populated by numbers and formatted as such, some of those cells contain zeros. How do you calculate a range of cells without the zeros in the range? The zeros skew the results.

I want A2's validation reference to be dynamic, in the sense that I can it reference it to A1; converting the string "mexico" to a named range mexico

Basically in cells b12:b26 (15 cells) I need to enter the type of item (which is limited to 2 items). I made a drop down list for that range which works perfectly, therefore the user can choose either item 1 or item 2 or blank. However, I need to figure out a way so that item 1 can be chosen a maximum of 10 times in the range, and item 2 can only be chosen 5 times in that same range..
I am assuming that you can't add that condition to the drop down list... So I was thinking of adding an extra column duplicating b12:b26 (c12:=b12 etc...)- and entering a data validation there.
I was going to enter the following:
if item 1 is chose : =NOT(COUNT($c$12:$c$26)>10) &
if item 2 is chosen: =NOT(COUNT($c$6:$c$6)>5).
However, for some reason it doesn't work - it doesn't block the entry if I try to enter 11 item 1s or 6 item 2s.
I have been tasked with creating a data validation list. My data is contained on a separate sheet from my data validation list. I am using a named range to use the data for my data validation list. However, I am looking to add a criteria to my data validation list so that it only is populated with values based on another column on my data sheet.
For example, if I have a data sheet called "Employee" and I have two columns. Column A is a list of employee names and I have named a range in column A as "EmployeeName". Column B is used to define the category of employee. This value is a letter, for example, "A", "B", "C", or "D". This column does not have a named range as I don't know if I need one to get this to work.
I would like the data validation on one sheet to use a list of employees of a particular class from another sheet. Straight forward validation is easy using a validation list with a formula =EmployeeName. But how do I only list employees that have a category "A"? For some reason, I cannot get some of the formulas I have found while searching this message board to work.
I'd like to create a list via Data validation-list. Anyone knows how to reference a range on another sheet of the workbook?
The range is =$Q$5:$Q$13
Is it possible to reference another sheet? If yes, how is is done?
I am using following code to apply data validation list. However this code gives error Intermittently. The error message is 'Application defined or Object defined error'. Also this code looks little cumber some. Will really apprciate if any one can put some ligh on why is this error appearing sometimes. Do I need to change something in the code or add few extra lines. I feel following points will be necessary when you check my code
1. The data of validation list is stored under the column heading 'Reported_By_List'
2. Validation is applied on the range under the column heading 'Reported Through'
3. Start and last Cell Address Of the cells of the column in which data of validation list is
stored are extracted into the variables 'StartCellAddress1' & 'LastCellAddress1 '
4. Start and last Cell Address Of the cells of the column on which data validation will be
applied are stored are extracted into the variables 'StartCellAddress2' &
'LastCellAddres2'
