I want to use data validation to enforce that every cell is greater than the next cell in that column. I've tried using =OFFSET(A:A,1,0) thinking that it'll return in next one, but no luck.
View 3 RepliesI'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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe user will be pasting a list of names in Column C and a list of Names in Column F I then want in Cell M1 for example a List box with all those names in from the 2 columns in alpha order.
I can create a hidden column that has the full list of names from both column and have a data validation drop down from that but cant think how to get it into alpha order in that drop down box without having a macro they would have to run 1st to sort it which i dont really want to do. is there a way if ranking a list of names in alpha order as then i could do then do a look up int he correct ranking order and use that list
create macro in order to protect Data Validation rules.
e.g. If user copy and paste cells from others source which is not in the same validation criteria or not contain any validation rules, the existing validation will gone.
so, is there any macro which will be able to automatically run to prevent the data validation?
I need a way to re-order an excel worksheets columns based on another worksheet.
Data is extracted from a database into excel however users can configure the columns in the initial system. to how they like This causes problems when the data is copied into an excel spreadsheet I have created as the data copied will not be in the same column order as is required.
How can i reorder the columns without physically having to cut and paste the columns to match?
I have attached a sample spreadsheet.
You will see on the spreadsheet that 'fixed columns' is the order that i require the data however 'variable columns' is not in the same order.
I have a question about putting data in the right order. I have this order in my excel files:
City A, City B, City C

45 20 10
50 10 10
20 30 40
I need to put them in order from top to bottom like this:
10
20
15
45
50
20
20
40
30
20
10
30
20
50

Is there any way to do this in a fast way. Because I have 440 cities and 13 numbers per city copying and pasting will take a long time..
I have a table with one column of data. The data in this column repeats with 4 relevant pieces of information that I want to put in 4 different columns (fields) in a different spread sheet (or the same would work better and I would just delete the first column when done) keeping the same order the data is now in.
The data currently repeats in a regular pattern (i.e. 123412341234 with no other data in between). I would like to do this with a macro. Could someone help write a macro that will do this
I have a calculated field which is essentially two concatenated values (DDMMYY and sequential numbers starting from 1). I want it so that any single digits will automatically have a zero in front (e.g. 01, 02, 03 etc). The concatenating takes place in VBA so it has to be coded...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have one column dedicated for the drop down list defined as 'Service_Level'. My second Columns is defined as 'Starter 1' which contains options that are included w/ the service level. My third column is defined as 'Starter2' which details the options that are in 'Starter1'. What I want to do is is have someone select from the 'Service_Level' drop down menu and then have it display Starter 1 and Starter2 data. I'm familar with Data validation and Vlookup, but I haven't been able to pull this off yet.
Another problem I've been running into is: since I have spaced in my first columns the drop down menu reflects this as well. Is there any way to filter the spaces for the drop down menu, yet keep them in the source field?
One other thing I should clairfy is that I want to be able to select 'starter, preferred, or extreme and have it reflect just the stats for those fields.
about data validation drop downs.
I have 2 columns that need to be filled in once a name is selected from the data validation drop down. The data is to the right of the name in the source area.
Column A Column B Column C
1 Name 1 Skill 1 Phone #
2
3
4
This is the format, Every row in Column A has a Data Validation Drop Down, I need Column B and C filled with Data from the selected name from Column D (the data columns D-F)
Column D Column E Column F
1 Name 1 7 555-1111
2 Name 2 5 555-2222
3 Name 3 3 555-3333
4 Name 4 4 555-4444
So when I select say name 3...
Column A Column B Column C
1 Name 3 3 555-3333

Basically I have a form where the list can expand and contract so there will always be varying row lengths.
What I would like to see is a drop down list that shows a) the actual populated field and b) a description of the field when the drop down list is present.
I believe this can be done with a combo box however that would be a lot of work.
My Table has a data validation list in one row of a table. And different formulas in different rows.
The Table is expanded only into columns. Which means, there will be no new rows...only columns will be added.
If we enter text into the header cell in a new column, the whole new column gets formatted, but the list and formulas do not auto fill into new columns.
Of course an easy way is to copy and paste a column...but is there a way to auto fill lists and formulas into columns of the table? Similar to how the rows get autofilled?
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
Basically, I have two columns:
In column D I have some postcodes, and in column E I have areas. They are all with their according area, but I have them mixed up.
So: How can I put Column E in alphabetical order so that Column D shifts accordingly.
Example:
POSTCODE1 --- North West
POSTCODE2 --- South East
POSTCODE3 --- North West
I want it to shift them so it ends up like this:
POSTCODE1 --- North West
POSTCODE3 --- North West
POSTCODE2 --- South West

1. first I export data and directly paste in the "RAWDATA" Sheet.
2.There are 50 columns and each has header like Clientname,date,Id,campaign,websitename,frequecncy etc.
3.Exported data does not have same order
4.so when I paste data in excel I check manually if orders are in correct or not?which takes my long time to review/manually check
Using macro or something else to review the order and if any discrepancy then raise error? Need Excel to check order of columns ?
I want to export some columns of my worksheet to a csv-file. But i don't want to export all of them, i just need for example: Columns B, D and G and inside the csv-file they should be in an different order like G, B, D .
I already thought about using "union" to select the specific columns, but i can't get this to work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a couple of Pivot Tables that I create each month summarising my Income and Expenditure. The only problem I have is making the columns appear in the correct order, i.e. where July is month1 through June(the following year) being month 12 to coincide with my financial year. Oddly enough last month (January) was fine, following December.
This month January and February appear in columns 1 & 2.
I am working on a spreadsheet with multiple tabs. The basic idea is that I will pull some raw data and paste it into my first tab, and then I can refresh all of the other tabs to reflect the newly imported data. I had a problem recently because when I attempted to pull the raw data because the number and order of columns had changed which messed up my cell references.
My other worksheets would contain cell references that said =table1!a1, and I would drag that formula down to have a list of all employee names for example. I would then filter data based on some of the other information in other columns. I was hoping that I could paste the newly exported data into that table and reapply the filters to view the new list of employees. How can I do this even if the order or amount of columns change? This spreadsheet will be used many times by different people so I need to make it scaleable in case the format of the exported data continues to change. I tried to change the raw data into a table and change the cell references to the column name, but it did not work when the order of the columns changed.
I have a large order spreadsheet with 3 date related columns. One for customer requested delivery date, one for factory quoted delivery date and one for actual delivery date.
I want to be able to set something up that if it gets near either the requested or quoted delivery date (by say a week), that the cell flags red so it's a visual reminder to check whether the order has been dispatched etc.
How would I reorder columns & tabs based on a form where the user can put them into order that they would like the columns? I forsee some type of form where the user can dsignate the order and then start a macro that will sort both the columns and tabs.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a source data sheet that has around 50 columns. I want to copy and past selected columns to a destination sheet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a lot of data to try and summarize but they are in multiple smaller tables. I wish to only extract 2 variables, 'number' and 'total' from all of my smaller tables (lots of them) so the problem looks like this, i have these tables for example where the 'total' title is in a different column depending on which of the smaller tables you are looking at:
cat 1
cat 2
cat 3
total
[Code]....
I am trying to get:
number
Total
123456
30
234567
60
[Code]...
Because the number column is fixed and all of the smaller tables will all have a number in the same column maybe i can insert a column next to the number column and say "find the value where the column title is 'total' - however the location of the column title would change so not sure if this would work? I was also thinking of sorting the columns but that will not work either because of the smaller multiple tables?
I have a page of planetary symbols (astrology) in 3 columns (A,B,C ) in date order, that I'd like to copy across on the same line (date) ,to a designated column on the same sheet, in order of the ColD symbol it won't show here properly as there's no astro font, just tried it.
eg
A B C D E F
date Mercury 180 Venus Mercury180Venus
" Venus 60 Mars Venus 60 Mars
" Jupiter 30 Venus Jupiter 30 Venus
here, we have Venus copied to same line in ColE
Mars " " " ColF
how to sort the columns, Cols B,C & D themselves could be resorted instead into the order of the ColD symbol-- so I'd have colA, date-- the B,C,D sorted by D, into about 8 Cols to the right
