Sorting With Drop Boxes

Oct 22, 2008

Adding new items to the list, and then sorting them, I've found that the drop down boxes which I was oh-so-happy to utilize... don't move with their relative rows when the item name or department is sorted. IE. The option to select Supplier 3 for Thing 4, stays where it is if you sort by department, giving incorrect options. how to sort this while moving them, or on an alternative menu box system which would sort?

Drop Down Boxes And Hyperlinks

Feb 14, 2007

I'm not sure if I will need to use VBA for this or not, but what I want to is enable a Hyperlink if the user enters "Yes" from a dropdown box in a respective cell. I will have "Yes" or "No" as choices, but I only want the Hyperlink to become active if "YES" is chosen.

Multi-Layer Drop Down Boxes

May 14, 2009

I have a file that needs 3 drop down boxes.
Box 1 = Room Style
Box 2 = Unit Number (based on Room Style)
Box 3 = Building (based on Unit Number)

I know how to get Box 1 and 2 with data validation, but I don't know how to get Box 3. Right now, my data list has Box 1 data in Row 1, and Box 2 data in the following rows, in the appropriate column.

File attached.

I don't have the Building info in there yet because I didn't know where/how to put it in. But, if you picked Manchester, 131, Box 3 needs to be B1N.

Formula: Make Drop Down Boxes

Aug 3, 2009

Column A - I want to make drop down boxes #1-30 - which would represent quantity
Column B- That will be 30 rows of dollar amounts
Column C - To be able to calculate the quantity x dollar amount

I'm able to create the drop down boxes with the numbers, but say I choose the number 5 by the dollar amount 200.00 It won't calculate 5 x 200.00....

I've been trying the formula you would use to find an average, and i've tried the if statments, but my drop down box isn't being recognized.

Using Drop Down Boxes And Not Being Able To Select Previous Values

Dec 10, 2009

I am wanting to configure approx 100 drop down boxes to all point to the same range of data, approx 40 names, but once the name has been selected, none of the other drop down boxes will be able to select that name.

eg.
range:
Dave
Mike
John
Steve

select Dave in drop down box in cell B5. Next cell, B7, I want a drop down box without Dave in it.
If i then change my mind, and select Steve in cell B5, it will automatically adjust cell B7 to allow Dave as he is now no longer selected in cell B5.

Drop-down Boxes Make File Size Too Large

Aug 31, 2009

I'm using Excel 2007. I have a cell with a dropdown box that has the values 1 thru 10. When I save the file (as an Excel 97-2003 compatible .xls file), it's 17kb which is normal. I want multiple dropdown boxes going down the same column, so that every time the user goes to the next row, another dropdown box will be displayed. I copied the cell with the dropdown box, selected the entire column, and pasted the dropdown box.

This time when I save the document, it's over 2MB in file size. I've seen other spreadsheets with several columns of dropdown boxes spanning thousands of rows and they stay under 30kb. I don't know what they did differently to keep their file size small. Why is my file size so large and how do I fix this? Do I need to use a 'paste special' function?

VB To Activate List Drop Down Boxes When Data Is Entered In A Cell

May 20, 2009

I have a Validation drop down box (column B) and a defined range drop down box (column E linked to the Totals tab with A2-A31 defined as Products) that I need to activate everytime data is added to a new line in column 'A' and cells in column 'B' or 'E' are selected. Additionally, they need to activate if the cells in column 'B' or 'E' are selected for any of the old data so changes can be made. This will help reduce the overall file size and calculation time for a year's worth of data.

There is already some code on the worksheet that looks like it can be adapted if someone knows how to code in the drop down boxes.

Pivot Table: Muscle Memory With The Drop Down Choice Boxes

Jul 23, 2009

I am somewhat of a novice with Pivot Tables. One problem I am having that no one seems able to help me out with is that when I update and refresh my pivot table, it seems like it has a muscle memory with the drop down choice boxes.

For example:
Lets say I have three customers that I have labeled 01 Target, 02 Walmart and 03 Bed Bath and Beyond. If I want to change 01 Target to 02 Target and 02 Walmart to 01 Walmart, it works in the pivot table and shows the proper data but if I try to choose the customer from a drop down box, it remembers the customers as labeled as they were before I made the changes AND the current look.

I will see: 01 Target, 02 Target, 01 Walmart and 02 Walmart in the drop down box but the data will only show up in the pivot table associated with the proper customers as they are labeled in the data source.

Transferring Text Boxes To Cells

Apr 10, 2007

I want to transfer the contents of around 20 textboxes to 20 different cells. Allthough I have seen many code examples for doing this with a single text box e.g.


Sub getext()
Dim s As String
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Text Box 1").Select
s = Selection.Characters.Text
Range("A100").Value = s
End Sub

I can't seem to get it to loop through 20 boxes automatically using a For next loop for instance. Also I would like it to skip any empty text boxes it finds.
From what I've seen I don't think it would take too much code but I'm afraid I'm a complete beginner with macro's and completely stuck.

Macro To Link Check Boxes To Cells

Feb 8, 2008

I have a spreadsheet setup which includes a number of checkboxes set up using the forms toolbar.

I would like to link each of these checkboxes (in sheet1) to a cell reference in sheet2. I'm trying to write a macro that will do this for me to save me right clicking, choosing format control etc for each checkbox.

I found the code on this page: http://www.mrexcel.com/archive2/51300/59643.htm
which appears to be similar to what I am trying to achieve. In this case it creates the checkboxes in cells B3:B20 and links them to C3:C20.

I have already created all the checkboxes, and wish to use a macro to link them (for example) to C3:C20 in sheet2.

Drop Down Box In Cells

Jun 16, 2009

I am trying to create a drop-down box in cells D21 and D22 which are dependent on each other. From my understanding this cannot be done in Data Validation. For example cell D21 is Route Number and D22 is Route name. If someone knows the Route Name they would select it from the drop-down, then cell D21 would fill in the Route Number. Similarly if they know the Route Number the Route Name would fill in.

I am able to have one dependent on the other using Data Validation and VLOOKUP, however not dependent on each other.

Drag And Drop Of Non Sequential Cells?

Jun 20, 2014

Drag & Drop Example.xlsx

In the example attachment on the weekly tab, you will see I have daily totals and a sum for weekly. On the summary tab I have the columns going down with a link to the weekly totals.

I have over 5 years of data in this format and don't want to link each cell in one sheet to another. If I drag and drop, obviously the weekly doesn't come down correctly.

Is there another way as I don't want to have to do this for over 250 weekly totals (and counting) manually.

Sum The Cells In B According To What The User Selects From The Drop Down

Oct 8, 2009

Say you have two columns, A & B. Each cell in column A consists of an identical drop-down menu of four possible choices. Each cell in B is a random number. I want to sum the cells in B according to what the user selects from the drop down in column A. If A1=A2="BILL", I want the sheet to add B1 and B2. IF A1=A3="BILL", and A2=A4=TOM, I want the sheet to sum B1 and B3, then sum A2 and A4. So, conceptually, I guess column A acts as a group identifier, and I want to sum B by group.
