Data Validations - Multipale Lists Depending On Each Other
Jan 6, 2009
I have search the site for a possible solution for my problem. And that is: how to create multiple lists using validation – depending on each other.
The scenario is. I have a data sheet that contains a list of alien plant species. The species have different methods of treatments (some do have the same). Each treatment might have one or more herbicide products that can be used and with each herbicide a certain application mixture.
I have used validation to create the pick list of the plants, the next pick list should be the treatment for the selected plant species and the 3rd list the product and then last list the mixture.
All of these lists should only list the information that is relevant to the selected plant specie, in the first list.

On a worksheet I want 4 cells to have validation, when a selection in the first cell is made this limits the choice in the second, when the second is selected then the third is limited by 1 and 2 and the forth will be limited by 1,2, and 3.
In the attached example data , if I choose a Region, I have a choice of Countries. When I choose a Country I am limited to valid Cities and when I have chosen a City then a list of applicable Agents will be available. I have used NamedRanges for a two dimensional lookup but for four and my list will be far bigger than the sample, I do not fancy maintaining numerous NamedRanges.

how to make few dropdown lists depending on one before.
Example: I have table with next data: COLUMN A: (A1) Expense Type ( in all columns under A1 are types of expenses );
(A2) total trip cost;
(A3) Prize promo tour cost;
(A4 ) court renting cost;
(A5) Prize IPP cost
In columns B1, C1, D1, E1 are cities. Under each city is value for type of expense. I have uploaded worksheet for example.
Now, problem is next: I am trying to make drop down lists ( in new work sheet ) by using depending data from data table.
1.I made drop down list in first cell (let's say it is an A1 cell ) where I can chose city ( for example City of Zagreb ).
2.Then in next cell (B2) I would like to choose type of expense in drop down list ( for example Total trip cost ).
3.Finally, in C3 cell I would like to make drop down list that offers me just expense value for combination of chosen city ( Zagreb ) and chosen expense type ( Total trip cost ).

I have a workbook with several drop down boxes and formulas already set up and working. I want to improve it though. My question is.... is there a formula that will make the drop down list change based on a cell value....
For example: If B6 equals vegetables then C6 equals list (potato, carrot, pea, etc.) If B6 equals fruit then C6 equals list (apple, banana, grape)

I've created a worksheet with a number of dropdowns / data validations. Now the thing with these validations is the source range apparently has to be in the same sheet (well it can be another one but much simpler if in the same). I've just realized I created them in the wrong place, so need to erase them. Pressing the delete key isnt working though, they're still there. I could right-click delete but that then requires one to move cells up/right etc and that could mess with my formulas.

I am using a modified version of Debra Dalgleish's filtercopy macro in which 3 data validations are being used (she used 1 in her downloadable example ProductList. zip) and it works just fine when the validations are used in order as they should be. However, in looking over the data I am trying to present in my report I think it would be very valuable to use the first and third validations at times (skipping the 2nd) to discern information in that way. Long story short, I can't seem to get this to work and don't know if it's even possible because I'm not a VBA expert.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error Resume Next
If Target.Row = 3 And Target.Column = 4 Then
Worksheets("StoreData").Range("O2").Calculate
Worksheets("StoreData").Range("Database") _
. AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, _
CriteriaRange:=Sheets("StoreData").Range("O1:O2"), _
CopyToRange:=Range("A6:K6"), Unique:=False
End If
If Target.Row = 3 And Target.Column = 6 Then...............................

I have a scenario where a cell has to be restricted based on the user input of another cell, also it should allow only Yes or No values.
ex:column A
column B
pending response
submitted
User should be allowed to enter a value in column B as "yes" or "No" only when column A has a value "Submitted"
I referred the thread to restrict entering the data [URL]...
However not able to add list as well.

I'm using Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium. Although this file is saved with Excel 97-2003 - because the computers at work only use 2003.
OK - Here is my dilemma. I've been creating a spread(work)sheet for work. One of the fields that needs to be entered by the manager doing the papwerwork is 'Date'. I currently have the Data-Validation set as follows because the paperwork being done is for the yesterday:
Code:
=TODAY()-1
I have the Error Alert set to Warning prompting the manager to ensure the date is correct (sometimes a mid-shift audit is being done, so the actual current date has to be used). Now, what I am wanting to do is to also set it that if the manager set's the date for a future date, I would like Excel to also either do a Warning or a Critical displaying a message that future dates cannot be used.
I know this may sound trivial, but with this paperwork, dates are extremely critical and vital in the event of an investigation for cash shortages etc.
I have uploaded the excel sheet to my domain, which I can provide a link to - either here or in a private message - but I do not want to do so unless I know that it's ok to do. If so, I will reply with a link to the location of the Excel file.

I have created a Data Validation list in one of my spreadsheets which works fine. The list itself has no duplicates which is fine but when I select my entries in the other spreadsheet, I want to make sure they cannot select the same value twice.
I tried selecting "List" in data validation and using an AND with COUNTIF but it doesn't work.
=AND(Employees, countif($A$1:$A$20,A1)=1)

I am creating a Spreadsheet to work with a game which I am designing. I want to create a combat calculator which will generate formulas based on which class a person chooses to be, and their choice of weapons, armour and other equipment (makes things a lot easier for me to visualize). I have created the first worksheet which will act as the interface where users can input their character configurations and a second worksheet where all of the data is stored, included items and their values.
Assuming that on the interface I have cell A1 which will let the user select their class (Warrior, Archer, Sorcerer).
I also have cells B1 = Helmet, B2 = Body Armour, B3 = Leg Armour, B4 = Feet Armour, B5 = Hand Armour.
I would like cells B1:B5 to create a Data Validation based on the class which is selected in A1.
E.g.
IF A1="Warrior"; B1 = A list of Melee Helmets, B2 = A list of Melee Body Armour... etc
IF A1="Sorcerer"; B3 = A list of Magic Leg Armour...
I have managed to do this with the following formula, but only if the data is stored in the same sheet.
Cell B1
=IF(A1="Warrior", =meleeArmour1, =IF(A1="Archer", =rangeArmour1, =magicArmour1))
Cell B2
=IF(A1="Warrior", =meleeArmour2, =IF(A1="Archer", =rangeArmour2, =magicArmour2))
[NOTE]
=meleeArmour1 represents the range of cells where the Melee Helmets/Head Armour is stored.
=magicArmour2 represents the range of cells where the Magic Body Armour is stored.
The group cell names do not seem to work if they are on a different sheet, nor does it work if I replace the group cell name (=meleeArmour1) with the full formula (=Sheet2!A$1$:A$10$)

On a tab, i have one column where information is entered. what should be entered is based on a dropdown list (which i have setup on a validation). the other thing that should be allowed to be entered is a an 8 digit number. when something else is entered, i need to have a popup message appear to tell the user to fix the error.
I have no idea how to effectively enter in the restriction in VBA for this.
Below is the VBA i have started:
1. The problem is that if one of the drop-downs is chosen, then i get this error message (because the dropdown list has text that is more than 8 characters in length).
2. The one other problem is that if the cell is left blank, i still receive the popup message. how do i avoid this from showing up.
3. I am also looking to do something like this for a range of cells (from F5:F100).
Private Sub Worksheet_Change()
Dim stue As String
stue = "f5"
Application.EnableEvents = True
If Len(Range("f5")) 8 Then
MsgBox "there is an error in cell " & stue & " "
End If
End Sub

I need to edit multiple validations in a worksheet. There are over 990 validation for each month. I want to change the word in the sentence. Example: April to May. Right now I have to edit each one seperatly. I have tried a macro but it changes to whole sentence. Find and replace do not allow editing in a validation.

I have an excel spread sheet, Col I is a Date, Col K is a Date, Col P is a date and Col T is a text(with list validation) I have validation that if if T = "As is" and P <> I or K (which ever one has a value) then Error. Add Type:=xlValidateCustom, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:=xlBetween, Formula1:="=IF(T2= ""Accept as is"",(IF(P2=(IF(K2<>"""",K2,I2)),TRUE, FALSE)), TRUE)"
But if the user changes T to some other value then it is ok to change P, But they could put any value in that field. I Need to validate that P is a DATE also
I was trying to do a validation Greater than > 01/01/2007 but I can not do multiple validations on the same cell. How can I validate P is a date also

I have a problem in applying Data Validation on cells containing Formula. Eg: cell A1 has a value 10 and cell B1 has a value 15. i have a formula "=A1+B1" in cell C1. If i apply a Data validation to the cell C1 so as to accept values only in the range of 0 to 10, the cell C1 is still accepting values grater than 10 when i change the values in the cells A1 and B1.

In a macro I want to automatically insert a formula in several cells. The formula depends on other cells, and I want to be able to manipulate these cells with variables. Here is my code:
[Code] .....
All my variables are declared:
Sheets("DATOS YTD 2014").Cells(I, Semana + 1) is the cell I want to be able to chose due to the variables
Sheets("DATOS YTD 2014").Cells(I, 3) is the reference cell for the VLOOKUP formula, that will vary with I
SheetMonth.Range("B3:W172") is a range in the sheet SheetMonth which is fixed
The error message I receive is the following: "Run-time error 13, Type mismatch"
I precise that the next step is to make the ",6," part in the vlookup formula also variable... but I guess once my current issue is solved this one will be a piece of cake.

I have an month input in cells B2 (user can enter values from 1-5)
I then have a data table that has month 1,2,3,4,5 running across range G9:K9. the data is held in range G10:K19.
So if user types in 4 in B2, what should happen is that months 1,2,3 and 4 the data for these months should be cleared and data in month 5 moves forward into month 1.
So basically, anything left of the month entered is B2 should be cleared and replaced with anything right of the month in B2.

3
4

£133
£29
£193

Is there a way to make a drop-down list optional? When I create drop-down lists the user has to make a choice from that list.
Example: a list of doctors. I need the user to be able to select from that list if the patient saw one of those physicians, but if the patient saw another doctor not on the list, I need the user to be able to enter the name of that other doctor. Currently the user has to select from the list or not enter a doctor. I am using Excel 2003.

I would like to have a list that when one of the items is chosen, it brings up a second list and so on.
Therefore, list 4 will depend on what was chosen from List 3 which will depend on List 2 which will depend on List 1.
I'm not sure if macro's are required.
I have attached a file that lists out a Decision Tree (Decision Tree Tab).
I also have a Form tab which is where I have the decisions that need to be made.
So, in the Gender Row I can choose Male or Female. If I choose Male, then the Interests list should contain Cars, Sports or Colors.
Type will depend on which I chose and finally, Detail will depend on which Type I chose.

1) Imagine i have a row 1 with names, column 1 with bank account numbers, and under each name corresponding to each bank account it says "yes" or "no" depending on whether or not they are authorized on the bank account. How do i make 2 drop down lists, 1 with bank account numbers that produces the names which are authorized on the account and visa versa (list with names showing bank a/c numbers). It needs to be able to be updated easily.
2) Suppose I have the table as described above and another excel file with 1 column as bank a/c's and another column is authorized bank users. In this column however each cell just has a bunch of names for example one cell may contain (james, john, jack, jennifer, bill). Is there anyway to check these names against the ones in the table from the other spread sheet?

I have two lists of serial numbers which I want to compare to find those number which are not in both lists. I have used the following formula: =IF(A2=$G$2:$G$283,"",A2) where A2 equals the first cell in list 1, G2:G283 the range of the second list, true value "" false value display the contents of the original cell.
This works so far; where the contents in the A and G cells are the same on the row eg A2 and G2, but where they are different the contents of the A cell are being returned even if they are elsewhere in the range.
