View 3 RepliesTrying to create a drop down list using a combo box. Then, when i select an item on that list, it will bring me to the range of cells where that information is stored.
Is that possible? I have no VBA experiance at all.

What would be perfect is similar to what you get in Access, when you type in part of the record string required, a drop-down list appears and shows you the record entries that have that string within them and not necessarily in character order, quickly wittling down to the few records that apply and then use your arrow keys to move and select the correct record, etc. Example, I own a salon, and many shampoo ranges have many similar products:
Superstar
Superstar Blow Dry Lotion
Superstar Leave In Conditioner
Superstar Shampoo
Superstar Conditioner...........
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.

(drop down box 2)= either x1, x2, x3, or y1, y2, y3, or z1, z2, z3. I can produce a single drop down box thats not a problem but linking several drop down boxes is beyond me .

Dim strName As String
strName = InputBox(Prompt:="You name please.", _
Title:="COMPANY NAME", Default:="Enter Company Name")
Range("E1") = strName
However, I would prefer it if there was a drop down list to select one of five pre-set company names without having the user to type the name out every time.
I am building an excel application that will allow the users to tick boxes which acknowledge completition of tasks. I then count up all the tickboxes to give them a score. However, I want to have multiple modes, so users can have different sets of tickboxes. Ideally, I would have a drop-down menu/ combo box at the top of the page with the 4 modes in, and then when selected the appropriate tick-boxes are shown. I considered creating 4 tickboxes in every location, and just showing them (object.hide/.show) when the option was selected in the combo box. I am currently using Excel Form Tickboxes, and counting themall, but if I did this method I would need to count them for each mode. would I need an array?

I've created a budgeting spreadsheet and it is available to users via the web. When I initially created this I was short sighted and set everything as $'s. Users have limited ability to set formatting on this sheet.
I was wondering if I could create a drop down list for users to select their currency type which in turn would then drive the formatting used in the cells. I'm not quite sure how complicated this would be. Is this something that could only be done usa VB code? I'm pretty basic in Excel (know a good amount of formulas, etc).
I have a worksheet report that counts question answers filtered by facility, date range and case manager. I use Data Validation "List" criteria to make the in-cell drop-down lists for the criteria of the variable values. For most of them the selected value works fine, but for the case manager drop-down I need a value in the list, other than the peoples names, to represent "All" or be a wildcard and include all values in the selection. Here is the formula:

If column M Says "Lapse" then I want one drop down box to appear in column N, If coumn M says "NTU" then I would like column N to show different drop down options.
is it possible to restrict a cell in such a way that it is impossible to type data into it, but rather select data from a drop down, through validation?

I'd like to create a list (or combo) box showing all the London boroughs, and a second list (or combo) box which will show all the Wards for the Borough selected in the London list (combo) box. I'd also like the option to be able to select all the Wards for the borough selected so that they can be used in a chartgraph.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a fairly simple spreadsheet with about 8 columns and about 400 rows. One of the columns features a drop-down list with about 8 or 9 different options. Dependant on which option is selected, i would like the entire row to change colour with that option.
For example:
FAILED - whole row changes red
SUCCESSFUL - row has no fill
Tested - row changes to orange
etc.
Is this possible within Excel 2003?
Basically i have a data compilation of the sales for each sales agent for each month. I'm trying to create a simple, controlled table where the user can just choose which Employee(List Box) and the Month(List Box) and it will display their TOTAL Sales, the catch is TOTAL sales will be the sum of sales from previous months up till the chosen month.
Example below.
How do I go about inputting the function in the TOTAL cell?

I would like my combo box list to change base on the value of A1. That is, I have its input range being B1:F1 - "Year 1", " Year 2" etc.
Example:
-If cell A1 is the value "10" then the combo box default list item would be
"Year 1" (which is cell "B1")
-If cell A1 is the value "20" then the combo box default list item would be
"Year 2" (which is cell "C1") ETC...
I have a list of combo boxes embedded on a worksheet and I would like to have them accessible through an array. I am an old VB 5 coder and this was a method I used very often and found it to be quite the time saver, but I cannot find a way to do this in excel.

I am trying to generate a list based on the value of a cell. That list will then be used as the range for a drop-down list. Example: Cell A1 returns a value of 15
A drop-down list displays the values 1 through 15. Cell A1 changes to 20
Drop-down list displays the values 1 through 20. I assume I'll need a two-step macro to accomplish this but I can't figure out the logic to populate the drop-down.
I'm trying to figure out how to activate a macro from combo box or list box.
But no success.
I have a list of names:
AAA
BBB
CCC
111
222
333
That I can view through the combo box.
I have created a list of macros, that carry the same names,
AAA
BBB
CCC
111
222
333
The Q is: how can I link each name to its own macro?
so when chosen, will activate the macro?
I need to define a specific calendar quarter and year, and want to do so using a combo box for the quarter (e.g. 1st Quarter, 2nd Quarter, 3rd Quarter, 4th Quarter) and a list box for the year (so the user can select any year desired).
The selections in each item should then somehow define the quarter's date range so I can use it in my SUMPRODUCT calculations.
Example:
User selects '1st Quarter' from the Combo Box
User selects '2004' from the List Box
CurrentQuarter range is somehow defined to equal 1/1/04 through 3/31/04.
If this isn't possible, then perhaps two ranges can be defined based on the user's selections:
QtrStart is set to 1/1/04
QtrEnd is set to 3/31/04
I have a combo box, from the control toolbar, that I have populated with a named range in the properties of the combo box. The items in the named range vary when an earlier combo box is selected. There are always at least 2 values populated in the named range, but can be as many as 22 values. What happens is when there are only 2 items in that range, the drop down list from the combo box shows 20 blank lines! I have been searching for how to "ignore empty cells" in this range, but cannot find it. The empty cells are always before and/or after the populated cells, if that helps. The range is updated via VBA, not formulas, if that is helpful as well.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI trying to do a sheet with one combo box (dropdown list) where I want the user to be able to choose "add rows" to make more boxes appear. My idea to solve this was to put all the boxes in the sheet, and then create a macro that either hides or shows the rows with the extra boxes. Now I have a problem that hiding the rows just does that, and only that. The rows disappear, but the combo boxes stay visible (but ends up on top of eachother).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need a list in my form, simple "Name/Number" list (only two options) but i don't want it to refer to any cell in the worksheet.
I want to input a text in a textbox and with the selection in the list above i want to have multiple choices at how to approach the text (if i input a name i want it to be different than if i input a number). All the info i came up on the web refers to lists made upon a range of cells.
How can i make a list without involving ranges of cells?
I have been trying to make a combobox for which the list is a named range. However, this range needs to be transposed. ListFillRange doesn't seem to let me transpose the list first. I've tried transposing the list somewhere else first and then adding it, but it seems to want a range as opposed to a reference to a range. I'm so confused now. This is the basic code that I wish would work.
ActiveSheet. OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.ComboBox.1", Link:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=253, Top:=472, Width:=117, Height:=20). _
Select
Selection.ListFillRange = "=transpose(Stream_Data!StreamList)"
While I'm at it, could someone explain to be how to refer to a combobox. ie. when you create it, you don't name it so how can you refer to it. That's why I have used the selection tool above to add the list.
I want to create a form and use VBA to make a combo box list all the sheets in a book. Is it possible to select multiple entries like in HTML? I would like the user to be able to select the sheets they do not want to delete before a macro runs.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a sheet that takes three Validation Lists into account. The first two lists are based on named regions. The third list uses the first two lists to narrow a search down so that the user can pick what they want from a smaller selection. I'm using the code from Contextures.com to allow the user to double click the validation list to pop up a Combo Box. This allows me to show more than 8 selections at a time and also gives a little freedom on font and font size.
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal11.html
Since the third list is not based on a named region but rather code to compare the two previous lists, when I double click the third validation list a blank combo box pops up. it possible to pop up what ever lists are in the validation boxes.
This is the code that I have in the third validation box which States "The Source Currently evaluates to an error" but works fine for some reason. =OFFSET(CategoryStart, MATCH(B4, CategoryColumn, 0) - 1, IF(A4 = "Description", 2, IF(A4 = "ExtDescription", 3, IF(A4 = "PartNumber",4))), COUNTIF(CategoryColumn,B4), 1)
I tried making a named region that was based on the code, so that the list could change as the user selected different options from the first two lists. This gave me the same problems as I had before.
