Dependent Field Not Made Visible On Selecting Dropdown Value
May 31, 2013
In my IE site there is a field which is a dropdown field with the value 'Not Known' and 'Specified Date'. If I select 'Specified Date' another field named 'Date' becomes visible where I can give a date. I was able to ensure that the value 'Specified Date' is selected using the following statement:
IE.document.GetElementById("startDateBasis").Value = "SpecifiedDate"I also was able to populate the date field with the statement:
IE.document.GetElementById("startDate").Value = SOA
Where SOA is populated with the date string I need to be given as input in IE.
My issue though is that, eventhough the data is provided by the macro the field 'Date' is not visible. So I have no way to know if the input was succesful until I submit the screen. I think I read somewhere that this is because of the way datebasis is populated.
How to get the field 'Date' made visible if datebasis is given as 'Specified Date'?
i bought a tattslotto scratch card (for those of ya outside of australia, not sure what youd call em, basically lottery ticket/game), this game is essentially a crossword puzzle, you scratch your letters out in a box then you have a list of words, you need to find words that are made up entirely of your letters, the more words you find, the more you win ive kind of screwed up the card and scratched out words i dont have, however i do have atleast 2 words and i think ive got more, potentially could win big but wanna know how much before i go claim it
ive opened up a new workbook, in the A column ive got a list of all my words, then in C1 ive got a field where ive entered all my letters, wondering if theres a way to get excel to work it out for me (like an IF statement on the fields in column A to compare them to C1, or some kind of conditional formatting rule)
I have a list of employees that can be assigned to tasks, the list is large enough that I cannot remember who is assigned to what.
All the employees assigned major tasks are automatically filtered out but these are employees with administrative tasks that should only be assigned as a last resort. I would like to assign the employees with administrative tasks a gray, italic, strike-out or some other font to indicate that they are different.
I assume this is done during the Add Item process...
I'm developing a little way to be able to modify comments without having to use the mouse (normally I need to right click the ActiveCell in order to choose "Show/Hide comments"). Below is 2 simple lines of code for unhiding the comment of the ActiveCell and then selecting it. What I can't figure out how to do is actually get the cursor to be inside the comment so that I can start modifying text or entering additional text.
Sub comment_unhide() ActiveCell.Comment.Visible = True ActiveCell.Comment.Shape.Select True End Sub
I have a button on a sheet that runs a macro to unhide another sheet. That works, but I want the sheet made visible to remain forward. Instead, the button unhides the sheet and the sheet the button is on comes forward again. I am unable to figure how to keep the sheet made visible forward. Here is the macro 'as recorded'.
I want to create a spreadsheet, where one column allows the user to choose 'P' or 'C' from a list. No problem. I want the next column to contain options specific to what they choose. So if they choose 'C' they get a different list to choose from than if they would have chosen 'P'.
I have been able to use the previous information to create dependent drop down lists but I have been unable to apply the settings to entire columns versus just one cell.
Is there a way to get the dependent lists to correspond to the cell beside it without having to manually type in each cell name?
I have a text field at the bottom of a user form that remains hidden (i.e. visible = false) until the user clicks the "Ok" button. At that point, I want the text field to appear as the macro is running (it's a large macro, so the text field just says "processing, please wait...").
I am collapsing a field in my pivot table and it is hiding all detail behind it. The column that precedes it is a description of the account number. How do I keep the description visible when collapsing a account number.
I have an excel spreadsheet(Sheet1) with information in 35,000 odd trade lines, which is eventually compared against another set of records from another tab (Sheet2) in the same spreadsheet.
Have recorded a macro which does the lookup using the common parameters and returns the unique identifer in Sheet1 from Sheet2. Post updating the UID's in Sheet1 - range O:O, I need to select all the rows which are not matched and move it to another tab.
I apply filter on column O1 and select #N/A and select the complete range. Via VB I use the below code to move between to the visible row from filtered row:
Range("O1").Select ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select Do Until ActiveCell.EntireRow.Hidden = False ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select Loop
If the visible row is within the first 1,000 rows, it doesn't take much time. However if the same is around 25,000th row, it takes more than 5-6 mins in order to move to the visible row.
I'm trying to simplify a template we use regularly at work. On the front end page, the one that eventually gets turned into a PDF and sent to a customer, I have a selection of drop downs, which I am pretty comfortable with. I also have some other fields that are populated by vlookups, and again, I have no problem there. What I am struggling with is creating a second drop down list that only has options relative to the first drop-down list. From what I gathered by searching on this, I may have to change the format my data is in, note that I have a pretty basic knowledge of excel.
Master Data (from where I want all the drop downs to come from) - see attached screenshot.

So, on front end, I have a drop down that selects from column A. Beneath that there are two rows that auto-populate depending on what company was selected in the drop-down. What I want is a second drop down list from D, E & F.
So, If I select ABC Limited in the drop down menu, the second drop down should only have John, Jim & Jane as options.
Is it possible to do this with the data in the format I have, or would I need to change the format? I have +/- 500 entries to do, so obviously I'd like to not change my format if possible.
I am trying to have a drop down list which is dependant on the result of a cell.
For example, if cell A1= CAT, then cell A2 should have a 'drop down list 1'; if cell A1=DOG, cell A2 would have 'drop down list 2'; if cell A1=RABBIT, cell A2 would have 'drop down list 3' etc.
Creating the drop down list is easy, I just want to know if it's possible to have different drop down lists depending on the result of a cell.
Attempting to use INDIRECT function to create dependent data validation list (Type). The tricky part is that the drop down options are dependent on the values of two (2) cell values (Brand and Country).
I have used the INDIRECT function before but dependent on ONE cell value only.
I am trying to get a listbox I created in from DataValidation to be dependent on another list.
For example, when I select Course 1 (a list item) from the Course List drop-down, I want the cost to auotmatically populate in the Cost drop-down (the other list).
How do I get this to happen? Here is the code I created in VB, and I am not sure if this is the right course of action:
Sub Automated() Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "MATLAB" If (Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "MATLAB") Then Sheet1.Cells(2, 3) = "31" End If Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "INCA" If (Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "INCA") Then Sheet1.Cells(2, 3) = "41" End If
[code]....
I don't want to use the user form, however from VB. I want to use the regular drop-down. The code seems to work, but, each list item in the drop-down is not pulling the data I want it to. I need to activate the drop-down as a click event somehow. It's just recognizing the cell A2 as a whole and not the individual list items. I want to each list item to be their own object, and to automatically populate the cell C2 with their cost when they are selected.
I need to create a 2-stage dependent drop down list.
Stage 1:
In cell G7 (on a tab called 'Data'), I have created a drop down list based on a range name called 'Region' .
Stage 2:
In cell G8, I need to create a drop down list which is dependent on the value chosen in G7.
Problem is, I will need to create a dynamic range name here which needs to vlookup or match the value from G7 in a dynamic list of data (the data is on different tab called 'RCA Data' and is spread over columns A:E with row A for headings - the data will go down an undetermined number of rows)
Every time the value in G7 matches a value in the 'RCA data' (the potential matches are stored in column
D) I need the corresponding cell value in column C to be added to the dynamic list. This list then needs to be available to choose from a drop down list in G8.
I need to create a data validation drop-down that is dependant on what has been selected in another drop-down. However, all the solutions I've come across online so far suggest using the INDIRECT function, which is not appropriate in my case. This is because the data upon which the two drop-downs are based on is itself dynamic. My specific situation is this:
In one sheet, I have a list of university names in one column, and in the next column a list of faculties. The same university can appear multiple times in the sheet (once for each different faculty at the university). This information will be added to regularly, with new universities and new faculties added often.
In another sheet, I want a drop-down in one column that takes its validation from the list of universities. I then want a second drop-down that is only populated with a list of faculties at that university. The INDIRECT solution seems to only work if I can define a static range of cells from which to draw this data. How do I do it in my situation above?
I need the drop down menu to update when the user adds a new entry. For example, if the user decides to add companies to the financial table, no matter how many new rows they add, our drop down menu at the top will update to include the new the entries. I want this to be the case in every table. How do I do this?
I have three drop-down boxes in 3 adjacent columns. Column 1 is free-choice, Columns 2 and 3 drop-downs are variable dependent on what is in Column 1. That works fine.
I have an issue with over-type but I can solve that with protection. Again fine.
BUT:
1. How do I make the user choose something i.e. not just leave the cell in column 2 or 3 blank by ignoring it (i.e. blank is an error but only after drop-down in column 1 is activated)
2. Also, if the user has completed the line (columns 1,2 and 3) and then changes column 1, columns 2 and 3 are now reading from the incorrect drop-down boxes (i.e. they are now in error but this is accepted and not flagged).
I need to create three drop down lists, with the second dependent on the choices in the first and the third dependent on the choices in the second. This is proving to be quite difficult and takes a lot of processing the way I'm going about it (most likely the wrong way).
My data looks like this:
A B C
Macintosh Apple Fruit Apple
[code]......
The data is presented to me with the most narrowly defined column first, then the most general, then more defined.
What I need is the user to select (on a separate worksheet from the data) the category from column B, then the type from column C, then the specific item from column A. Each selection is dependent on the earlier selection, so that choice 1 (column B) determines the options for choice 2 (column C), which determines the options for choice 3 (Column A).
Also, I think I found that "VLOOKUP" has a problem where it is unable to match data from the first column based on data in a second or third column. For instance, in the above example, if I asked VLOOKUP to look for "Apple" and give me values in column A that contain "Apple" in column C, all I get is "#N/A".
I have put together a user form with two ComboBoxes, one dependent on the other. The first box has a drop down menu from which the user selects a name, and the second drop down populates a list from a named range according to the user's selection in the first box. The code I used is as follows:
[Code] .....
This has worked so far, however, if one selects a name in ComboBox1 and then changes their selection (ex. Initially selects John Smith from the first menu, and then changes their selection to Mike Roberts) there is an error. I am not sure why - I think the issue stems from the 'Clear' function but I am not sure how to resolve it.
I have been asked to edit a worksheet for a client, they want me to create a dependent drop list using existing data from three columns.
I have created a dynamic named range and used and index to create the drop down list, which seems to work correctly. I run into a problem with I try to add the list to more than one column, as it obviously pulls in values from the Helper sheet I have used.
When the user tries to select values in row one after making a selection in row two, the values available for selection are incorrect.
Is there any way to have a three column dependent drop list that can be used in more than one row?

The information on the tab named 'Cabling Ducts' is used in an index on the 'Helper' sheet to remove duplicate values. The drop down list columns appear in 'CS 1' under the headings 'Cable Type', 'Size (mm)' and 'Cores'. Helper sheet is self explanatory.
There are other dependent drop-down list posts on this forum, but none of them are talking about working with multiple worksheets. I have three worksheets, one called "Main", one called "Universities", one called "Schools".
One the "Main" worksheet, I have two Combo Boxes (the one from the "Form" toolbar). I would like to first pick a university from the combo box and then based on the selection, the second combo box would give me just the schools in that specific univeristy. My guess on how to link the two drop-down list is by the ID column. If I select "University of Washington" which has an ID of "WAS" it would narrow down the second list to ID with "WAS" in it (Which would be "WAS1", "WAS2, etc). The reason I am using Combo Box is because of the "Link Cell" property which give me an output of the number of the selection into a cell. I will use that to get the corresponding ID. I have attached an example to this post.
I am working on a spreadsheet for my Building company. I'm building a tool to price for Fascia, Soffits and Cladding.
I'm using Macbook Pro Microsoft Office for Mac 2011
Please see attached file
The first sheet holds all the lists of products, Category Headings list is in column A and then all the relevant products and prices are then from B to BI. I have defined each category with a name by selecting the cells and entering a name in the name box.
The second sheet is a Calculator in which I would like a to have a drop down list in the Category Column (Which I have worked out how to do myself - good old google) and then a drop down list in the second column which lets the user select from a list of results based on the selection from the previous column.
Example: Category(B3) - 18mm Fascia/Replacement Board (Square White) - Drop down menu taken from sheet 1 A3:A33 Description (C3) - Drop down list containing all the options from D2:D15 Named "FasciaReplacementBoard18mmWhite"
So basically, whatever the user selects in Column B (from the category list) a drop down list would be available in Column C
The Value column would then show a value based on the options selected.
I have a dynamic dropdown list in B3. The dynamic dropdown list in B4 is a result of my choice in B3, and my dynamic dropdown list B5 is a result of my choice in B4.
When changing a value in B3 the dropdown lists B4 and B5 will be reset. This is done by this VBA Script in my worksheet.
Is it possible to have a worksheet code that would underline a row if a certain value is selected in a dropdown list?
I have a worksheet with data populated across colums A to K, in Column I there is a dropdown list. What I wanted was to be able to understrike the Columns A to K of a particular row is the value in the dropdown list in Column I ="Cancelled". I cannot use Conditional Formatting as I have already used the maximum 3 formats for other features.
I'm a little out of my element(normally program PLC's). I have always been lucky on searching others programs and have been real successful at piecing them together to fit the application I needed. The current workbook I am working on for my supervisor will allow him to keep track of personnel's weekly job assignments. The workbook and userform work fine when just using one worksheet.
What i would like to be able to do is use the "assigned to" combobox be the indicator as to which worksheet the data is saved to. I have tried to do it several different ways but have been un-successful. Have spent the last two days reading and searching for a solution but have yet to find or understand one.
Creating a spreadsheet in Excel 2010 and am creating the dropdowns from a separate sheet in the workbook. There are no spaces and I don't know why I keep getting the "The Source currently evaluates to an error."
I am entering the Data Validation to reference the first cell I need "=INDIRECT(H3)"
I have put the spreadsheet on dropbox. When you select the "Sequencing Platform" drop down, it need to give just the dropdown for the platform selected.
