Basically what i need to do is create a validation list, the contents of which will be dependant on the entry in another cell. The catch is that the other cell contains an "if" formula.
eg.
A1: 10
B1: =if(A1=10;"A";if(A1=11;"B";if(A1=12;"C";"Invalid Entry"))) ....
I have a question regarding the data validation lists. What i have is 4 different lists
Department
Assays
Instrument
Manufacturer
What I want to do is...once a user chooses a department, he gets a list of assays done in the chosen dept. and also a list of instrument used by the dept and a list of manufacturers
I used the examples shown here
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal13.html
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html
and was able to succeed in creating dependent lists to some extent...I am attaching whatever I have able to accomplish so far, which is able to pull up the assay list based on the dept. ...but am confused as to how to get the Instrument and Manufacturer list at the same time .....please choose 'Chem 2" from the dept list to see what I have managed to do so far
I am creating a spreadsheet i want it to be that i make a selection from a drop down and this will then narrow the options available in the next drop down. Say box one you select 'half day' and then the next drop down menu will automatically loose all the data for a 'full day' and only show half day information such as costs for food and room bookings ect. i have made the drop downs but im not sure what to do next.

If I have an example I can manipulate I can actually see what does what... The several-paragraph-long explanation with descriptions of what's being referenced by what and where and why - isn't helping me any.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have on a sheet:
4 data validation lists that contain the exact same values.
would like to have:
One validation list box that is dependant on all 4 vd lists.
I posted a thread on dv and came to the conclusion that it is not possible to use INDIRECT() as it only allows for one cell reference and not four.
Is there another way to do this?
Glove Man, I tried your suggestion but couldn't get it work.
I am trying to make a drop down list and based on what I select from the drop down needs to populate a different drop down list with information based on what I select.
For example: if I have Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4.
Inside of Sheet4 (My Main Sheet) I have a Data Validation (Drop Down list) in Cell A5 and Cell B5
I would like to choose Sheet1 from Cell A5 and in that same sheet (Sheet4) in Cell B5 I want to have a drop down with a list of names that are located in Sheet1 in Column A:A.
Or If I would've picked Sheet2 in Cell A5 of (Sheet4), I would like to see a drop down with a list of names in Cell B5 (Sheet4) that are on Sheet2 in Column A:A . Is this possible?
So far I could achive it if information I want is located on the same Sheet. But I need it to work if info is located on different Sheets
in a sheet I have two cells using data validation and dropdowns - the source for the first cell is a static named range - no problems. The source of the second cell is dependent on the value in the first cell and the sources are dynamic named ranges.
The dynamic ranges in cell#2 is named according to the value in cell#1 and I therefore have referenced the ranges using the INDIRECT function - but this only works with static ranges.
In the data validation source field for cell#2 I have the following formula:
=IF($A$1="",the_full_range,INDIRECT($A$1))
I want to sum a range of cells but exclude any that are in a particular colour (in this case red).

I have a worksheet with 4 drop boxes that have the following options in order: 2,28,10,24. My main concern is to make the last drop box depend on the third: so the one with 10 listings will determine which of the 24 will appear according to selection. The other two are not necessarily needed to be dependent although, they will be pulling different data according to the selections. How to make the last two be dependent? The combo box selections will determine the values pulled for four different time frames.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a spreadsheet to track orders as part of a project, the spreadsheet currently lists all the different options that can be ordered, it then lists all parts of the order, installation & setup etc.
However it is likely that not all of the options will be used.
What I would like to do is create a few drop down boxes for each option, if 'yes' is selected then the order tracking for that option shows below.
Example, the wants 'internet' so 'yes' is selected for internet using the drop down at the top of the page. Further down the page all the order tracking info is shown for internet. If 'no' is selected nothing is shown for interent.
In the file I have attached, I need to work out how to give the final total (cell G27) inclusive of VAT, dependent on the value assigned in cells K17-K26, which are explained in the list starting cell B29.
At the moment the value given is net of VAT, and I need the total figure in G27 to recognise that the first item needs to be at 15%, the second at 5% and the 3rd at 0%.
I have a Filter set up across a few columns of data. Lets say one of the columns is called "Hours", and another is called "User". There is another cell called "Totals" outside of the Filter.
What I would like to have is a self-updating Totals cell that will Sum the total number of Hours for whatever the Filter is currently showing.
Examples:
If I set the Filter to show only UserA's data, the Totals cell will Sum the Hours for UserA.
If I set the Filter to show All Users with Hours greater than 2, the Totals cell will Sum all the Hours greater than 2.
If I set the Filter to show UserB and UserC and Hours less than 5...well you get the idea.
Can I write a function that loops through the data that meets the Filter's criteria? Do I need to create a macro to update the Totals cell each time the Filter is changed? Is there an easier way that I don't know about?
I want to show the number of weeks remaining from the sum of a column BUT I want it to distinguish between the entry in another column.
See below.
Columns B to L represent a number of weeks
EG1
Column C: Year 1 has a set amount of 47 and C156 displays this.
C157 should display the amount of weeks in Column C but only when a number "1" appears in Column "Y" C158 displays the total amount remaining
EG2
Column H: Year 2 has a set amount of 38 and H160 displays this.
H161 should display the amount of weeks in Column C but only when a number "2" appears in Column "Y" C162 displays the total amount remaining
so basically, im trying to find a way to get cell G3 to have Value X dependant on value from Cell G2. e.g. if cell g2 is 8 and 9, g3=10 if g2 is 11, g3=20 and so on. i dont mind having to add a preset table of values if we need, but it would be set on sheet 2.
EDIT
Value from cell G2 will always be between 4 and 20, set by the user. what i want is that each of those values gives G3 a pre-planned value.
if g2 has value 4. g3 value would be -5
if g2 has value 5. g3 value would be 0
if g2 has value 6. g3 value would be 5
if g2 has value 7. g3 value would be 5
if g2 has value 8. g3 value would be 10
if g2 has value 9. g3 value would be 10
if g2 has value 10. g3 value would be 15
if g2 has value 11. g3 value would be 20
if g2 has value 12. g3 value would be 20
if g2 has value 13. g3 value would be 25
and so on until it reaches g2=20
i was thinking of setting a table on sheet 2 for the g3 values, and get an IF function to do something like IF g2 = a then x, if g2 = b then y etc etc. im just not sure how it would work, unless an INDEX function would work better?
I've been making a userform to enter data into a list of clients for our school counsellor. I've been using date picker to select the date, which works fine, but is a bit fiddly for a novice user (which the counsellor is) to jump down years.
My half-solution has been to change the data to a very rough guess of their data (so it's no more than a year or so away) - by taking their school year (years 7 to 11) in one combo box, adding 5, multiplying by 365 and taking the that number of days from the current date.
Private Sub CmbYear_Change()
DTPicker1.Value = Date - ((5 + CmbYear.Value) * 365)
End Sub
And although it changes the content of the datepicker date, I get an error when I click my ADD button.
Run-time Error '13':
Type Mismatch
And here's the code for my ADD button.
Private Sub CmdAdd_Click()
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Clients").Activate
Range("A3").Select
Do
If IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = False Then
to print each row of a spreadsheet as a separate label and have a feeling that this possible using macros but i have very limited knowledge of them. The number of times I need to print this label is contained in a cell in each row.
I know that i can go into word and use mail merge to produce labels but i would like something altogther more automated to remove the possibility of human error.
I am trying to make an Excel sheet with a frontpage sheet and a data sheet. In the data sheet I have several columns with data and then in the end a cloumn with pictures. On the front page sheet I can easily with VLOOKUP formulas transfer the desired data from the data sheet to the front page sheet but I cannot seem to figure out how to copy the picture. When I try to copy the cell with the picture in it, the formula only copies the cell value, which is "0" because the only thing which is in the cell is the picture. how to copy a given picture from one sheet to another based on the information in another cell like a "Vlookup" formula?

My problem is that columns A to H are yellow(36 I think) and are merged cells.

what i need to do is display a list of items, with a dropdown box next to each item. the dropdown boxes are identical. for each item in the list (e.g. each musician), the user should be able to select an item from the box ("percussion", "horn", "string").
my problem is that the number of items in the list is not set, so the list of name labels, dropdown boxes, etc needs to be generated dynamically. is it possible to generate a list of labels/dropdown boxes using a loop? (as i understand it, this would involve writing code to write code.)
I have a spreadsheet where I would like the rows to change colour dependant on value input to certain cells, i.e. if a any value other than a zero put into a cell it changes to green, if a zero put into a cell it changes to grey, if a zero put in but a value put in another cell it changes to another colour, if values already in are taken out of other cells, it changes to yellow.
I've looked on FAQ and there are a lot of similar things but not quire wha I'm after and even thn I dont know how to use VBA etc to achieve.
i have some code where i need to make the text bold but not sure how to go about it
the formula is
Example.....
In the drop-down menu in col D I select the value “Egress”, then the drop-down list in col E is populated with the values of EgressCol. Now I select a value, lets say “Cash payment”. If at a later time I change the value of col D, lets say to “Ingress”, then “Cash payment” in col E doesn’t match the values available for IngressCol (the correspondent dynamic list for the Ingress value).
I need a conditional formatting formula that checks whether the value in col E is listed in the corresponding list of the value selected in col D. Request: I found this formula that works fine, but it gets Excel to work really slow.
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE($D2," ","")&"Col"),$E2)=0
I would to say thank you to RoyUK for helping me out with this DependantlistBoxes where a Userform has two columns. Now I've manupilated a Userform so that whenever I double click on the cell, the selected text from the second box in Userform is pasted to the cell in the next column to the right.
But I what I really want it to do is to past the text fromt the first box in Userform to the active cell and when move to the second box in Userform, the selected text will be paste to the cell on the right.
Like I double click on B3 (in "Fullarton") sheet, a userform appear. When I choose CB from the first box in userform, it should paste in B3. Then when I choose Electrician from second box in userform, Electrician should be paste in C3.
I have a list of electrical item brands in column B and a list of item types in column C what i need to happen is when i select a certain brand with a certain type i would like the cost of the item to automatically enter in to column D!
Because of my rubbish description i have attached an example
On attachment, I am trying to highlight values in column AA dependant on any values appearing in range AF4: AQ8 less 15 minutes. eg at present the value in AA29 is 13:22. I would like this cell to highlight as it is greater than 15 minutes before AH4 at 13:25.
The purpose of the sheet is to highlight any times in column AA that fall within 15 minutes of the start of a major meeting. These major meetings are pulled from another sheet, and a drop down box is used on that other sheet that then transposes the major meeting times to this sheet. I have tried an "Or' statement in a conditional format, however an error message appears around not using a range in a conditional format.
i have a order form that is customer dependant. the cust name on the form is manually entered by the user within a msg box. i have specific cusotmer folders on a shared machines C drive where i would like to save these excel docs to.
i understand that the cust name must match the name of the file and there needs to be a way to save those that do not have specific folder matching what was entered as the customer name.
the overall goal is to have the file name saved as CustomerNameDeliveryDateInvoiceNumber.xls where CustName is from cell "M3", delivery date is "Q7" and InvoiceNumber is "Q1".
Sub OrderFormSave()
Dim strCustFileName As String
savefile = "\SrSharedDocsCSPSharedFILESCustomerOrderForms & strCustFileName & "
