View 2 RepliesI have a weird problem with Excel. It recognises all numbers as numbers but excluding the number 1. It is only recognised as text as well as a decimals, for example 3.4. So every time I try and add these values up it completely ignores 1 and decimals.
Have I modified a setting?
I have a workbook with three worksheets - 1st is an event register, 2nd is a calender (manually done, with no formulas due to format problems I couldn't solve), 3rd is a summary.
I am trying to work out the following;
The first column of the 1st sheet (event register) requires a date.
The second column requires an 'event', from a drop box or list (of seven possibilities). These are working fine.
Is there a formula I can use theat when a user enters a date, say 1 Jan 08 (or the format is "Thursday, 1 January 2008") AND a certain event, say "CALL" that this will automatically populate the next worksheet (calender) on that corresponding date (1 Jan 08)?
There are seven possibilities for each date (eight including "blank" or ""), which I am sure I will be able to extend to each day of the calender once I work this formula out.
I have already formulated the second worksheet (calender) to count the freqency of events into the third worksheet (summary). Hopefully these wont effect the formula I am looking for.
Work shifts run on a four-week, 28-day cycle always beginning on a Monday.
In 2009, the first such cycle began on Monday 12/1/09.
In my 2003 worksheet, I have the current year in A1. I want the date of the beginning of the first cycle in that year to appear in B1. This should update automatically when the year in A1 is updated.
how I can have excel determine what array or predetermined group a piece of data belongs to as it loops through it.
For example...
Say I import the A column via .csv file, I want to then run a macro that recognises the data and then catergorise it... the desired outcome would be the red text in the C column.
I want to be able to added the variable members to each group as such, I'm presuming this is best by a declaration.
I would like to make the SUMIF function conditional on recognising 1 word among a series of text within a cell.
For example, SUM all cells containing word PINK, even if there are other words in the cell also.
I cannot get the SUMIF function to pick words out of a cell, it will only SUM up if the whole text matches what is in the cell.
what its called when you have drop down menus that correspond with other drop down menus.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHere is what I'm trying to do:
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.

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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI receive inspection sheets from mechanics and I need to start tracking trends. So, let's say the mechanic has marked an "interior" issue and of the 10 potential items that could related to "interior", he has chosen "dirty upholstery" -
Column A is drop down menu with four categories listed:
Interior
Exterior
Transmission
Undercarriage
So in Column A from the drop down menu I pick the main category of Interior. Then it's on to Column B to choose the exact issue of the Interior. When I choose "Interior" in Column A I would like Column B to automatically show me another drop down list with issues that relate only to Interior (i.e. glass, dirty upholstery, torn upholstery, etc.)
that is question #1....
If there are multiple issues on one vehicle, I would then go to Column C, pick another category (i.e. Transmission) and then in Column D, I would like it to automatically display the drop down menu that relates to Tranmission issues (engine oil, air intake, engine wiring, etc.).
I have a drop down box in column N, however I would like the options in that drop down box to change depending on what appears in column M.
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.
i am trying to figure out how to write a formula and trying to figure out what type of formula to use to do this, been reading alot latley. i have a data verification drop down with many items in it. when an item is selected i want it to give two other responces in a selected column.
ITEMQUANTITYUNIT DESCRIPTION150ALF8" DI Water150BLF6" DI Water
what i am after is this. i open the data verification drop down for 8" DI Water, when that item is selected i want it to install the appropiet unit number that would be LF (lanier foot) and also input the item which is 150A. i have a list of 80 items all that have their own unit and item number. This would save me alot of time.
i have a spreadsheet with several fields. i want to derive information from this data. i want to be able to control the output through the use of list/drop down boxes.
so the user will choose several criteria AND based on this criteria, the ouutput will reflect user requirements.
I want to have a spread sheet where a user will pick an option from a drop down list, then based on that option choice, have a different cell populate with a specifc drop down menu.
Example:
Cell A1 has a drop down with three choices (1,2,3)
User selects option 1
Cell B1 will now have a drop down with options A,B,C
However:
If user selects option 2 from A1
Cell B1 will now have a drop down menu with options X,Y,Z
if i have a drop down list of say 10 names
and i want to add a name to that drop down list is there anyway i can do this by just putting it in the input cell
eg if my dropdown list is in a1 and i need to select the name mark
mark isnt in the drop down list i can manually type this as i have unchecked input message and error message but is there anyway i can get a code to add that to the dropdown validation list the next time i open up i ask because i dont want people entering names on the sheet and having the name range changed
I'd like to have a drop down box in a cell in excel - so you would click on the drop down arrow and choose a name from the drop down. This name would then be displayed in that cell. The idea being that you can only chose a name from the list, and type nothing else in there.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have named six different sets of data with six different names. I have a drop down box that lists these six different names. When I select one of the names from the drop down box, I would like the lookup I have off of this to change to what ever set of data the drop down selection is referring to. Example: I have my first data set named "Data_A", next "Data_B", etc... When my drop down selects "Data_E", i would like my Hlookup equation to change to HLookUp(a1,Data_E,3,false). Is this possible, or am I doing something wrong?
View 4 Replies View RelatedUpon click of "Populate Scorecard" button (e.g. on Company X worksheet), would like user to complete the Userform and based on their response, it would add to the appropriate "Month" (selected from the Userform Drop down) in the Scorecard worksheet.
I have started an IF statement for "Jan-08" and was going to copy and paste code for each of the months, e.g "Feb 08, Mar-08 etc", but thought their would be an easier way based on Loops or Call statement. Just not sure how to do this? Can anyone assist with getting me started?
I'm also not sure how to add the code for "Buyer Comments" and "Month" to be added to seperate worksheet (e.g. Company X), if Company X was selected.
Note that i will create a hide sheet statement, so user can select which Company (e.g. X or Y) to select from. The code would then need to correspond with that companies Scorcard worksheet.

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.
I have a drop down box linked to cell A2 for example, when the change is made on the drop down box the linked cell returns the value 1,2or 3. I'm not sure if I require a code or an 'IF' command - but what I would like to achieve is that say when 2 is selected I want to goto sheet 3 A1, if 3 is selected then sheet 3 A2 and if 1 then nothing happens. Or can I make the function dependant on what the drop down box displays e.g Correct, Not Correct and Requires Change. (1,2 and 3 respectively).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI can weld together a bare chassis, or a complete turn-key car, or anything in between. With that I am putting prices next to every option, and part n piece that goes on the chassis. This is fine when I choose welded chassis under car type and just add a few options to it.
However if I choose turn-key or even roller, there are items that i need to choose between like rear coilover manufacturer and what not, but I dont need to add that price in considering its already included in the turn-key price of $135,000.00
So my question is, if I choose bare chassis, can I leave everything the same, but if I select turn-key, can I make it so it does not include that price in the bottom total cost of the car?
Is there a way to set up a designated cell in a spreadsheet with a drop-down box that will have a calendar, so that when you click on a date in the calendar it puts that date in the cell?
View 9 Replies View Relatedif it is possible to have a drop down box of 2 or 3 options, and depending on the selection of those options, the cell behind the drop down box will change to a specified color, ie: red, blue, green
I figured using some sort of conditional formatting on the cell would work, however I do not know how to link the conditional formatting to the drop down box.
I have created some drop-down boxes on a tracking spreadsheet. Last week they were they today they are gone.
I went in and cleared the cells and re-created by dropdowns. I did remember to click, in-cell dropdown, but when I click on the cell it is not there.
Now if I right click on the cell it does give me an option to choose from a drop down. So my options are still there but why are they not appearing in the cell when I click on it.
