Data Validation To Return Different Value
Mar 21, 2014
I am trying to have the user click on a drop down list that shows several scenarios and return a score based on the scenarios. I created a list on a separate worksheet. The list contains the following:
Comprehensive list of policies 100%
General policies with no details 75%
Purchased policy templates 50%
No policies 0%
I would like the user to see this list including the corresponding scores,but when they select one, I would like the percentage to be returned in the cell.
I tried using Data Validation with VLOOKUP and named my list; however, it returns the text in the first column instead of the percentage.

I am a personal trainer/strength coach, and i use excel to write my workout programs.
To save time in writing programs i have made lists of all of my exercises in a separate workbook. I have them all linked via data validation in drop down lists to different templates for different populations ;weight loss, injury prevention, sports performance, ect. And it has been working great!
However here is my problem, I would like to be able to return an entire list of an exercise circuit with one drop down list and have it input all the exercises in cells below the drop down list.
So for example i have three columns on a separate sheet.
Column one
Circuit A
exercise 1
exercise 2
exercise 3
Column two
Circuit A
exercise 4
exercise 5
exercise 6
Column Three
Circuit A
exercise 7
exercise 8
exercise 9
In cell A1 i want a drop down list that that has circuit A, B, C,
using the drop down list if i pick circuit A it will return exercise 1, 2, 3 in the cells A2, A3, A4, receptively.

I have a list that has blank rows mixed in. I'd like to return a list without those blank rows to be used as a dropdown menu for a budgeting tool.
I tried using the offset formula from the link below but this just cut off my list after the first blank rows showed up.
My current list looks something like this:
Code
5000-Salary
5000-01 - Hourly

I am applying data validation in my workbook. The data in ColS consist of:
ColS
(Row2) X
(Row3) Y
(Row4) Y
(Row5) Y
(Row6) X
In ColT, I am to apply data validation: i.e. If in concerned row of ColS is having "X" value, then I am to show an error message. Else, values from A2:A5 should be shown in the as list and these should be accepted in ColT.

I have a worksheet containing a list of states in column A and a list of companies in column B (along additional data in columns C-L). I want create a lookup formula on a separate worksheet where users can select the state from a dropdown menu and it will return the information from columns B-L for that state.
For example:
A B C D
Alabama ABC Company Active Expires December 2009
Alabama 123 Company Expired Expired April 2008
Alabama XYZ Company Active Expires August 2009
Alabama Larry Company Expired Expired May 2006
How can I do this without losing my mind? I've tried various Index, Small and Match formulas and none of them work.

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 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 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)

Below, both inputbox cases appear to work fine. If you enter an incorrect input on your first attempt it will offer you the option to return you to an inputbox.

I have created a cascading data validation list, and I would like to have an adjacent cell auto populate according to the dropdown selection.
Data Eg:
Oranges 1100
Apples 1101
Pears 1102
Grapes 1103
If the user selects "Pears" from the dropdown list, I would like the adjacent cell to populate with the numerical code for "pears", in this case 1102. I am designing a new expense report form at the office, and I am at a standstill with this problem.

As part of a UserForm I am Validating and Formatting in one pass. The problem I'm having is that when the Validation fails, I get the error message, and the focus moves on to the next text box.
I want to trap the user in a loop until they have acceptable data

I am trying to create a data entry sheet to enter quotes on. When a quote is received, I click on my "Add quote" button and a userform appears. Data is entered into the userform (frmEntryForm) and returned back to the next available row.
I also need to be able to:
Edit a row by double-clicking it. When a row is double-clicked, data from that row is passed back to the userform, edited and returned back to the same row (to prevent duplicates).Validate that all fields are complete within the userform where relevant (i.e. if the work is not complete or in progress then the "Invoice Number" and "Actual Cost" fields are disabled and blanked to prevent entry (I think this is almost sorted judging by my tests)
I have attached my sheet : 2014 Gatwick Quote Log (Macro Enabled).xlsm

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 find the largest value, second largest, and third largest value for a column of numbers then return a content value for the adjacent column that contains the name for which each. The problem I am running into is when the second highest has the same value as the highest and also when the third value is zero (n=meaning there are only non-zero numbers for the column). I am using these formulas currently whic work when the numbers are not the same and I have atleast 3 non-zero numbers but I need to modify in order to account for the problem stated above...

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.
