Data Validation Using Reference List From Another Sheet

Jun 2, 2009

I m using Data/Validation function in Excel2003? Is it possible to have reference list of drop down input from another sheet? I recorded the macro for this function and had the following result

Sub Macro1()
Range("A1").Select
With Selection.Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
xlBetween, Formula1:="=$C$2:$C$6"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
.InputTitle = ""
.ErrorTitle = ""
.InputMessage = ""
.ErrorMessage = ""
.ShowInput = True
.ShowError = True
End With
End Sub

How can I change reference List from the same sheet $C$2:$C$6 to "sheet2!$C$2:$C$6" or it is a limitation for this function?

Data Validation Using List In Another Worksheet - Works For All But One Sheet!

Dec 30, 2008

I am running into an odd issue and hope someone might be able to shed some light.
I have created several lists on one sheet in a workbook and have assigned named ranges to each individual list. So far, so good.

On various other worksheets, I have created Data Validation rules to allow users to select the relevant data from drop-down lists. (using formulas such as =List1, =List2, etc. in the Source box to capture the named ranges I had created).

Everything works perfectly...EXCEPT for one worksheet, which continues to give me the error message, "You may not use references to other worksheets or workbooks for Data Validation criteria." Can anyone explain why this error would only occur on one worksheet and work fine for all the other sheets? I'm perplexed!

2 Staged Validation List Using Single Data Sheet

May 14, 2014

Originally I had a file with multiple tabs to sort data, this was becoming very ineffective so what I have done is modified the original WB posted into the desired new format. The WS PSM-04-03A is a vlookup based report that used to pull data from each tab based upon the WS Name (the code is still their) what I have done is combined the WS and made a column(ColumnD) for what used to be the WS Name. All WS have besides "Home" and "PSM-04-03A" have been combined into 1 WS and the title for the data from the original sheet names was added to columnD of "Recommendations" in the new file. (i.e. I did not add all files just some so you could see what I was getting at).

So using the two WBs as an example the Isomeration Unit/MEK Dewaxing Unit/ROSE Unit tabs have been combined into one tab and a new columnD added to signify what used to be done with the "tab". Now if you look at the validation on WS "PSM-04-03A" on the first WB it utilizes the WS Names to populate a list in cell A4 and cell C4 then populates with all columnA items from that WS. Now that I have combined the data I still need the validations to populate the same. So A4 in the new WB would populate with all non repeats of the unit in ColumnD of the WS "Recommendations" and then cell C4 would populate with the filtered columnA results based upon the columnD choice.

OLD FILE : (PSM-04-03) PHAR Tracking v2.xlsm

NEW FILE : (PSM-04-03) PHAR Tracking Modified.xlsm

Excel 2007 :: Data Validation List Linked To Different Sheet?

Dec 11, 2012

I am using excel 2007

I am attempting to put a drop down list using "Data Validation". I can get it working when my list is on the same sheet (sheet 1) and the column of cells I want the drop down list to show up in....(you know..when the drop down list shows up in each individual cell)......BUT...when I put the list on another sheet (sheet 2) and try to do the "Data Validation" back on sheet 1, excel won't let me go highlight the list on sheet 2.

I even tried writing sheet2 and the range and that still doesnt work.

Data Validation Used To Create Separate Data Validation List

Feb 15, 2014

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

Named List: Data Validation To Restrict The User To Only Selecting Values In A List

Jun 15, 2007

I'm trying to use data validation to restrict the user to only selecting values in a list which I create. Right now, the list is a named range. I'd like to get rid of the range and just use a named list. I create a name using the following as my list.

Insert > Name > Create
Name: Fruit

Refers to:
banana,apple,orange

When I try to use the name Fruit in my data validation, I get the message "The List Source must be a delimited list, or a reference to single row or column." I thought my name "fruit" was a delimited list.

Excel 2007 :: Data Validation List Depend On Another DV List

Apr 29, 2012

I have a List of Different Fruits in Cells A1 to A5

Apple
Banana
Orange
Strawberry
Cherry

And I use data validation list in 5 different cells from Cells C1 to C5 then in every cell the list will show all the fruits,

But I want that if I select Any Fruit in cell C1 that should not be included in the remaining 4 cells, and the fruits selected in Cells C1 and Cell C2 should not be included in the remaining 3 cells and so on....

I Used the formula

=IF(C1=A1,OFFSET(A2,,,COUNTA($A$2:$A$5),1),0)

But this works fine if I select Apple in the Cell C1, then the List of C2 Shows all Fruits other than Apple, But if in Cell C1 I select any fruit other than Apple it does not work... (Using Excel2007 & Win XP)

Force Choice From List: Data Validation List

Oct 18, 2006

is there a way to force so that a cell value can be only of what a validation droplist offers, hence users can not enter their own values and have to use the droplist for cell content selection.

Validation List Choice To Copy Row From Another Sheet

Dec 17, 2008

I need to get data copied from sheet1 to sheet2
depending on selection in a validation list.

The data is on the same row and all the same range.
So it would look something like this.
A B C
Fruit Orange Apple Pear
Veg Potato Carrot Onion
Animal Bear Cow Dog

I have the data in A in a dynamic range and validation list.
I need all the data copied from the specific rows ie
choose Animal from the validation list in Sheet2!A1 and
the entire row Bear Cow Dog get copied to Sheet2!B1, Sheet2!C1, Sheet2!D1.

The second problem I think is a lot more complex.
So the same scenario above but this time its a multi select on Sheet3.
I need to be able to select two (or more depending on Fruit and Animals to display in A1, A2 and then their valid options to appear in B, C and D

Data Validation - How To Create Dropdown List That Excludes Duplicate Data

Sep 26, 2013

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?

List Data Validation

Mar 18, 2009

The idea is to create a liquor order sheet which takes items and prices from a liquor inventory workbook, which is part of the same file. i'm sure that you can do it all fancy with a macro, but unfortunately i'm not super experienced with excel. so i helped myself with what i know a bit -> drop down lists. I created an extra sheet which has 4 ranges on there... the liquor type (liquor, beer, wine), and the 3 sub classes for each type (red/white/blush/sparkling for wine, draft/import for beer and so on and so forth). On the inventory i named the range of all white wines "white", of all red wines "red" ..

On my order sheet i created a drop down list for type and created 2 more via "indirect" .. so when you select "wine" in the first one, the 2nd one will ask you for white/red/blush/sparkling and the last drop down then for the exact item according to the range on the inventory.

Hope what i did so far is understandable ^.^

Now my problem is that i want the unit cost to be copied when an item is selected. So you select "beer" in A1, "import" in A2, "corona" in A3... and the price for corona (which is written in a cell on the inventory sheet) should show up in A4.

I attached a screen of the inventory sheet so that you can see how it is structured.

Data Validation - List Box

Sep 9, 2009

Hello, could some one please help me with the following:

I have created a drop-down list for the range : C3:C65000 using Excel 2003 and Windows XP Pro. I did this using Excel's Data Validation Tool. The settings I used are as follows:

Allow: List
Source: =GROUPS
Check Box Ignore Blank is Ticked
Check Box In-cell dropdown is Ticked

GROUPS = GROUPS!$A$2:$A$29

Now all this works well, such that when I click in the cell range : C3:C65000, then a dropdown list appears - showing a list of all my groups.

However, when I click on any of the dropdown lists in this range, the width of the dropdown list is only as wide as the column. Column C has a width of 20.

What I need please is for the dropdown list to be as wide as the list of information showing in the dropdown list. If some one could please explain on how I can achieve this - that would be great.

I have a workbook that uses data validation from a list.
The same list is used in several of the individual sheets.
Can one use just one list for different sheets, as I'm having to create separate list for each sheet, which when an overall change needs to be made it is easy to miss one.

Too Much IF In Data Validation List Source

Apr 8, 2014

I try to find a solution (with or without macro) to assign different ranges named "Failure_C..." in a data validation source depending on the value of another data validation list (32 values called)

I started in the Data Validation List Source to fill in IF function but 32 inputs are not accepted and too much caracters in the source.

The formula is starting like that:

=IF(A57=$M$78,Failure_C01,IF(A57=$M$79,Failure_C02,IF(A57=$M$80,Failure_C03,
IF(A57=$M$81,Failure_C04,IF(A57=$M$82,Failure_C05,
IF(A57=$M$83,Failure_C06,IF(A57=$M$84,Failure_C07............

Data Validation And List With Formula?

Jun 29, 2014

I am trying to make a simple planning sheet.

I have a workbook with 2 sheets.

1.sheet contains Columns : DayDateTimeClassTeacherCovered

2. sheet contains the availability of teachers. so all columns start with a date and the rows contain the name.

A row therefore looks like this.

7/1
Harley

Lidia
Livia
Thais
Salete
Carla

My issue: The 1.sheet has a column Teacher, now in this column I want to have a drop down list. (E2, E3, E4, E5 ... etc..) This list is depended on the date which is in column B.

Essentially I want the list to look up date in its row go to the second sheet and give me all the possible names in it. That is all.

Dropdown List Using Data Validation

Feb 25, 2014

I have a list on one worksheet and I use a dropdown list from Data Validation to select the name required.

My list is so long that I would like to be able to type a letter or two to access to the name quicker instead of scrolling down.

I copied a formula that worked for someone else that put this formula in the data validation

(IF(I36<>"",OFFSET(Player,MATCH(I36&"*",Player,0)-1,,SUMPRODUCT((MID(Player,1,LEN(I36))=TEXT(I36,"0"))*1)),Player))

I do not wish to use VBA is possible.

Creating A Data Validation List

Feb 19, 2010

I am trying to set the below table up as a validation list. I am having issues with putting it in as list as it creates a new line every time a “,” (comma) occurs. I know I can use the custom and pull the list from a table, but I can’t use this option (the reason I can’t use the table, if interested, is because the single sheet with the validation contains about ~35,000 line items that are being split up into ~200 different sheets. Each sheet is then sent as a separate email…the problem with using the table is that it would on a different spreadsheet to begin with. The email only sends one sheet. As such, it would no longer be able to reference the table).

A - Less than $25,000
B - Between $25,000 and $49,999
C - Between $50,000 and $99,999
D - Between $100,000 and $249,999
E - Between $250,000 and $499,999
F - Between $500,000 and $999,999
G - Over $1,000,000

Dropdown Data Validation List

Mar 6, 2013

I have a query with data validation.....

Can I have a cell rage.. say A2:E20...and every cell in it has a drop down data validation list, from data inputted into L2:L27 (For examples lets say L2 is A, L3 is B, L4 is C, L5 is D and so on).

if somewhere in the range A2:E20, say B6 I was to select D from the drop down list, I want the remainder of the cells in range A2:E20, to have the drop down list without the value D in it, and so on, so the more cells in the range I fill from the list, the list for empty cells gets smaller and smaller until there are none left.
