I need to know how to create a drop down menu from a very large spreadsheet of Column A but have it only return 1 occurrance. NOT in VBA.
Example:
Column A - these are different Value Streams PMV, SMV and WRV but this will show up over 100 times each as there are many departments per Value Stream I would only like to see 1 occurrance
Column B - Is a list of departments per value stream but will have duplicate departments Example: PMV - PM9, PMV - PMA, PMV - PMB
I would like to have a drop down and be able to select from the three value streams (Column A) and it return one occurrance then the departments that correspond with the Value Stream (Column B).
Is there a way to build a formula that looks up the first record in a table that has a value of A and X? Value =A Value=X. The next formula would would then return the next record that was a value of A with a value of x that was greater than or equal to 4?
Table 1 A x 2 A 3 A x 4 A 5 A x
The 1st formula would return a value of 1. The 2nd formula would return a value of 5.
I am working with a data sheet that holds a cell containing a number of position entries with each entry separated by a carriage return within the cell. I need to determine the entry associated with Accountant. The formula below determines if the entry Accountant exists and if so, displays 14 characters of information starting after the 12th character. The entry after "Accountant" is variable, but will have a carriage return at the end of the line. How can I identify the placement of the carriage return after the Accountant: entry?
I've found Nth_Occurrence and it's frankly brilliant but I need to be able to return the occurrence number of a value in a range and it doesn't quite do what I need.
Using = COUNTIF(A$1:A1,A1) gives me exactly the answer I need but as I'm working with big ranges it's taking a lot of calculation time.
I have multiple automatically updating data sets and I need to extract certain data to perform calculations on, this is the format of the data
SPLIT AB H 2B 3B HOME 20 6 1 0 AWAY 20 7 2 0 SPLIT R HR RBI HOME 2 0 1 AWAY 3 1 4
basically, what I need is to extract the data for home and away, and put them each on one line, no problem if this is always the format, but there are other lines of data that I don't need thrown in there at times which shift the data up or down a simple vlookup will extract the first occurance of home, but I need another formula to extract the second occurance so I can have them all on one line and have the data as:
SPLIT AB H 2B 3B R HR RBI HOME 20 6 1 0 2 0 1 AWAY 20 7 2 0 3 1 4
Is there a way to have a formula search an entire row containing certian text, for example "x" and have the formula return the letter of the first column that text is found?
I have a list of dates in column AF. I would like to retrieve a value from the 2nd occurrence of a date, so I used the function for the Nth Occurrence on this website as follows:
Function Nth_Occurrence(range_look As Range, find_it As String, _ occurrence As Long, offset_row As Long, offset_col As Long) Dim lCount As Long Dim rFound As Range Set rFound = range_look.Cells(1, 1) For lCount = 1 To occurrence Set rFound = range_look. Find(find_it, rFound, xlValues, xlWhole) Next lCount Nth_Occurrence = rFound.Offset(offset_row, offset_col) End Function
The excel formula I am using is as follows: =Nth_Occurrence(AF2:AF622,AE2,2,0,1) Where AE2 is the date I am looking up. My question is this: When I put in a date ("1/12/2007") instead of AE2, i get the correct value. I tried giving AE2 and the AF column the same date formatting (3/14/2001), but this doesn't work. The date I am searching for also changes, so I cannot just type the date into the excel formula.
I'm getting an export from a CDR. This export contains the date and times people log on and off from a queue. For logging in they dial 511, for logging out they dial 512. They get a voice prompt and type their password. I need to know how much time they daily spend in this queue
At first this looks pretty easy. I just make a sum of all the times they called to 511, then a sum of all time they called to 512 and finally I substract those values and I end up with the correct time spend in the queue.
The problem comes when they call multiple times to 512 without actually logging off. For example, they type the wrong password or simply hang up.
Result is this in the CDR
FROM TO DATE TIME 101 511 23/12 08:34 101 512 23/12 11:58 101 511 23/12 12:34 101 512 23/12 14:45 101 512 23/12 14:47 101 512 23/12 15:00
The actual time spend in the queue is 5 hours and 50 minutes. But Excel calculates this as 35 hours and 22 minutes, because it counts the 512 values no matter what.
How can I make sure that Excel only calculates the values of they are either the last value in the row OR if they are preceded by 511?
Where Value X occurs in Row A, l want to return the parallel cell in Row B.
Both rows are sorted in numerical order. There is a slight complication though: Row A might contain multiple occurrences of Value X. If Value X is repeated several times in Row A, I want to find the left-most occurrence of Value X in Row A, i.e. the one closer to Column DO.
I have zero understanding of how to do VB. I am trying to create a risk assessment template where I have a ton of questions to which I want a column E impact drop-down selection of N/A, High, Medium, Low; a column F probability rating of the same. This SHOULD a result in the subsequent two columns result based on those selections.
For example, Column E selected as High and Column F selected as High should make Column G automatically display High and, ultimately, column H to display 100.
Here is where I am at for trying to get Column G's result though all I seem to be getting is a FALSE response to each state instead of the intended result.
I'm making a spreadsheet where I want the user to select an item in A1 from a List made using Data Validation. When the person makes the selection in A1 I want the next 5 columns to automatically display specific attributes that belong to A1. However, I'd like the user to then be able to change each of these items (in B1-F1) from their own individual Validation Lists. I'm using this to mix and match mythical monsters. So in A1 I have well known monsters like Jaws, Godzilla and the Lochness Monster. When you select one of these creatures, that creature's specific attributes show up in the next 5 columns -- things like Appearance, Motive, MO, Hideout, and Special Features. I then want to be able to change Appearance, Motive, MO, Hideout, and Special Features individually from their own Validation List. I basically just want to mix and match between the various creatures.
I've gotten it only partially working by doing the following: At the bottom of the page (for simplicity, I have everything in 1 sheet but I intend to move the "data" table for the Lists to their own sheet) I have a table where in the row for each creature I have the different attributes. A1 (my "creature name") was made using Data Validation from the A column. For the next column I made a Data Validation List for the items. Once that pulldown was made, I then went to the B1 cell and used VLOOKUP to autofill the cell when the person makes their "A1" selection. I repeated this for cells C1-F1. This works ok the first time you make a selection. But whenever you change the "default" value for B2 using the validation drop down list, the Vlookup formula is replaced by the actual text value. This results in the cell not changing when the person next changes the A1 value.
I am trying to create an if function that returns a drop down list (which i have already created in another cell) to the cell if a certain condition is met. When i try, the if function only returns the option that has been selected in the drop down lists cell, instead of the entire drop down list. Is there a way to get the If function to return a working drop down box?
I have created a drop down list of various material sizes what I am needing to do is to select a material size from the drop down list and a corresponding value is input into the cell. So on say sheet two (Data Sheet) I have Cell A1 25x25 with Cell B1 100, Cell A2 30x30 with Cell B2 120 and so on. On sheet 1 Cell A1 has my drop down list being the material size ie 25x25, so what I need to happen is if I select 25x25 then Cell B1 is 100 or if I select 30x30 then cell B1 is 120.
I am trying to create a quotation spreadsheet and want the drop down list to contain the materials but once a selection is made in the drop down list, i want other cells to be accordingly populated with data stored on another worksheet within the workbook.
The source of the drop down list is material and i need other cells to be populated with the adjacent data.
Here is a small list i have at present, which will be much larger when completed.
MATERIAL 20mm 30mm Absolute Black £62.15£83.30 Absolute Black Premium£71.65£96.10 African Red £58.20£78.00
So if the selection in the drop down list is African Red then it should accordingly populate other cells with the values £58.20 and £78.00. Please help as i have tried many sources elsewhere but without any luck and this would be very benficial.
My Main data in my workbook is copied from another workbook. From there it is sorted into separate worksheets for each customer via a macro. I want to be able to set something up so that I can list the customers and then list job descriptions, products and pricing from the correct sheet and return the selected data back to its original form in sheet1.
I am also trying to run the macro that sorts the data in this workbook from another workbook.
I have attached the file so you can see what i am trying to explain.
I have a worksheet containing a list of states in column A and a list of companies in column B (along additional data in columns C-L). I want create a lookup formula on a separate worksheet where users can select the state from a dropdown menu and it will return the information from columns B-L for that state.
For example:
A B C D Alabama ABC Company Active Expires December 2009 Alabama 123 Company Expired Expired April 2008 Alabama XYZ Company Active Expires August 2009 Alabama Larry Company Expired Expired May 2006
How can I do this without losing my mind? I've tried various Index, Small and Match formulas and none of them work.
I am trying to create individualized worksheets based off a master worksheet. I have different committee names that I want to appear on the individualized sheets, based on whether the person is apart of that committee or not. On my master sheet, I choose the persons name under the committee and I want that committee name to show on the individualized sheet. For example, I want A1 on Master to show on Name 1, B3 and A10 on Master to show on Name 1, C3. Can I write a formula to achieve this or or am I asking too much? In my actual file, I will have about 10 names and 5 committees with one person being on up to all 5 of the committees.
I have 4 sheets: 1 called main 1 called states 1 called counties 1 called people
On "main" I have 1 drop down box and 1 cell:
the drop down lists the states from "states" sheet the cell, which i would like to have as a drop down is supposed to be listing the counties in the state selected from the 1st drop down. right now it is setting the value to TRUE for testing purposes.
then when the county is selected, it will display the people in that county listed in "people". So far I can only get the 1st drop down to list the states. that's the easy part. i need to getting the counties to list in another drop down based on what state is selected.
Im a fairly basic VBA user who has just purchased the code for J-Walk's Enhanced Data Form.
On other threads in this forum I have noticed a lot of people asking how to make the contents of one drop-down box dependant on the selection in another. I am trying to do the same thing but with the criteria section of the EDF form.
Is this possible? What does give me hope is that a simple Autofilter - whilst not as aesthetically pleasing, does the job well.
Currently I have columns fixed or assigned to the names of insurance providers/companies.
In each column below the name of the Insurance Company, a combobox containing the plans that company offers. Choose a plan, and the rest of the column is filled in using vlookup.
Now to save space, IE opposed to having 13-15 columns one assigned to each Insurance Company/Provider. I am looking to have only 3-5 columns with a first initial combobox in which one chooses the Name of the Company/Provider, and in turn populate the original combobox and vlookup functionality I already have built in.
Here is an example of what I am working with. [url]
I'm trying to create a drop down list which returns values based on what has been selected in the previous drop down list in the adjacent cell, e.g. if 'Apples' is selected in the previous cell then you should only be able to select from 'Gala, Granny Smith', or if 'Oranges' is selected you should only be able to select 'Seville, Blood Orange'. Is there a formula which would do this, or can I use a pivot table somehow? I'm totally stumped.
In the attached example I am trying to get the selections from one drop down to gnerate available selections in the next. The first drop down is the door style. This then needs to generate the possible drop downs in wood species. This then needs to generate the possible drop down in available stains. this then needs to generate the related door factor....
I would like to lookup the last occurence of a particular cell value in a worksheet and use the cell value in the column immediately adjacent to this one in a calculation.
For example, The text "Run #" occurs several times in a sheet with a numerical value in the next column over. I would like to use the last occurence - or as far as that goes, the largest occurence of the numerical value. Unfortunately, there is additional data in between the "Run #" occurences, so a simple max() for the column will not work.
I am trying to extract the last occurence of ppp (4th column). So as long as 4th column is "ppp", i would want to extract the row wher the the last "ppp" occurence start and display in sheet2 "108-Jan-07vcdppp4". If data in 4th column is detected to be "ppp1", it would also extract the row wher the last "ppp1" occurence start and display in sheet2.
Note that the number of ocurrence is random and do not follow specific pattern. Pls see the attached for the example.
I need to find out last occurrence of price (Last Date of Occurrence). Column A contains Date; Column B contains Highest Price of Equity Stock in that date. Reference price (Price we want to look up) is calculated in Cell E1, Cell E2 contains start of evaluation period (date), Cell E3 contains end of evaluation period (date). I want to find out the date on which "last" occurrence of Reference price in Column B "during the evaluation period" was found.
