I have two sheets open being a front sheet and one with data, i would like to create a drop down box of some kind on the front sheet with the data listed in the box from the data sheet.
View 7 RepliesI need to add drop boxes (from data already listed on another worksheet) to every cell in a single column. Drag down, easy! My problem is that I already have the required list (names in this case) pasted into the column from another sheet.
Is this possible?
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.
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?

Ie In the first drop down box you choose the type of cement, then in the second drop down box, different mixes of cement can be chosen DEPENDING on your choice of cement in the first.
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I have 2 drop down lists made, but I want to have one linked to the other
one.
For example the first list has types of wood in it.
Bamboo
Maple
Oak
The 2nd one has pricing in it.
1.25
2.50
3.50
If I click on Bamboo - I want the 2nd list to auto generate 3.50. Can that
be done?
i want to have an input box where i can select say 5 cities and have a chart of the weather in all those cities.
http://www.4shared.com/file/10050153...mpweather.html
is the excel file
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.
I am trying to create drop down boxes in a spreadsheet so I can create job sheets from them, I have a small business building cubby houses and I want to create a job sheet from a spread sheet that will have customer name - job number and so on thats the easy bit but I need to have a few drop down boxes so I can just click on what type of cubby they want from a list and what colour roof and what side door will be on and so on instead of having to type all this in for every job.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a userform with a multi select listbox and 7 textboxes and a sheet with all the data on called "Metdata"
See "Metadata" sheet data below:
I want to:
1. Populate the Listbox1 with the data from column A, which starting at cell A3 and down until cell/row is blank. In the example "Metadata" sheet below I only two rows are present but that will increase to 200+ rows.
listbox1 = data from column A starting A3.
2. When the user selects a single item in the listbox1, I want the 6 textboxes to be populated with the data from the other columns related to the row selected as follows:
textbox1 = column B - starting cell B3
textbox2 = column C - starting cell B3
textbox3 = column D - starting cell B3
textbox4 = column E - starting cell B3
textbox5 = column F - starting cell B3
textbox6 = column G - starting cell B3
Every time the user changes the item selected in the listbox1, I want the textboxes to be populated with the data from the corresponding row selected.
3. When the user selects more that one item from the listbox I want all the textboxes to be locked = true and textbox7 = "Multiple files Selected"
Obviously when a single selection is made from listbox1 that all textboxes are unlocked for use....
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.
My problem is i need to create a drop down box in excell, now i have a list of names,

It Makes all the boxes for Name 1 - Name 10 Drop Down Boxes...

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?
this is my first attemp at doing a "userform". I am looking for some help in creating a user form that enables users to choose items from drop down boxes, which shows next level drop down list items, then down to final drop down list with information based on first two choices. I've attached the sample file for reference.

I have an excel workbook with two sheets. Sheet 1 has a list of people names, rank, address, and phone numbers. Sheet 2 has boxes where a user can select a last name from all last names in sheet1. What I want to happen after the user selects the last name in sheet 2 is for it to automatically fill in the rest of the data (ie Rank, First Name, Address, city, Home phone number, Cell Phone number). What do I need to do in order for this to work?. Attached is a very small example of my much larger project.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
update code based on a dynamic range of cells, which worked! I want to drop a csv file into one sheet, and copy the data to another sheet. However, if I drop a new csv file in, and there are fewer rows, the old rows aren't deleted. For example, if my first set of data had 10 rows, and the new has 8, the extra two rows are still there.
[code]
With Sheets("Raw Data")
.Range("A10", .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy ActiveSheet.Range("A12")
.Range("B11", .Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy ActiveSheet.Range("B12")
.Range("E11", .Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy ActiveSheet.Range("C12")
.Range("F11", .Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy ActiveSheet.Range("D12")
.Range("H11", .Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy ActiveSheet.Range("E12")
End With

I have a workbook consisting of 5 sheets.
Sheet 1 is the master sheet, and (among many other columns) it has a series of yes/no columns. The yes/no options are the equivalent of:
"Are you in sheet 2?"
"Are you in sheet 3?"
etc.
When this is the Yes option, I would like the rest of the contents of the row to copy into sheet 2.
These need to remain linked, so if I change stuff in Sheet 1 I would like it to change everywhere.
I'm not including my spreadsheet because it has company information however, I will try to articulate my request as best I can. I currently have an Excel spreadsheet with about 20 worksheets, I would like to be able to click on the first worksheet, create a "Drop Down box" or "Data Validation" box or whatever I need to do to be able to view information in a range of cells on ANOTHER worksheet within the same workbook.
I've tried Data Validation, Drop Down Boxes, Define name ranges, all to NO avail. I'm missing a step somewhere, because I'm still not able to view the information on the first worksheet.
How do I change the below code to fill all combo boxes all on sheets. All the names of the controls should be the same on each sheet since each sheet was created from a copy of the original.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI could use some assistance in creating a macro that will delete all and only text boxes on the active sheet.

It allows me to use the filters but as soon as I sort I get told to unprotect the cells im trying to sort.

I am developing a spreadsheet with numerous information on our different suppliers offices in the country for each of our outlets. I am tryin to define a way to do the following:

I'm trying to create a workbook for tracking costs and change orders for multiple subcontractors. My main question is about combo boxes. I would like to create a master list of subcontractors on The masterlists tab of the attached workbook. I would like to use this masterlist as the data source for a combo box I'm going to use to replace the subcontractor txtbox on the SubCoEntryFrm. I figured getting away from a user typing something in would benefit me if I wanted to use that subcontractor name field to analyze data.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat Im trying to do add some addition data to a spreadsheet, I think a userform is the best way to do this. Worksheet = sheet 1 (Current Data)
I have an Item number in column C of sheet 1 (currently 570 items)
I have a spot for the values of my checkboxes on sheet1
What I would like is to be able to select the item number from a combo box (cmbITEM) And check off all or some of the checkboxes (I have 12 checkboxes = chk01 through chk12) then have that update the data on sheet1
