Dropdown Or Combobox With Static Space Between Text

Jan 13, 2010

I have a set of date of different lengths that I would like in a dropdown or combobox in a grid like fashion. Example

Apple, Banana, Orange, Kiwi
Mangos, Pineapple, Passionfruit, Guava

and I am trying to get it into the dropdown/combobox as

Apple,----Banana,-----Orange,-------Kiwi
Mangos,-Pineapple,-Passionfruit,-Guava

(without the dashes, the forum does the same thing excel does)

The data is of varying lengths, and the lists are actually parts lists, so they are long and of varying lengths each. Aside from physically going in a manually padding spaces, which isn't feasible given the number of them. The have alphanumeric characters, so jumbled all together seperated by commas is very messy and hard to read. I have tried padding with spaces using a formula but they do not line up right. I have been searching for a solution either having the entries in separate cells and concatenated entries, and still no luck.

Adding Text Entered In Userform Combobox Into Dropdown List

Aug 1, 2012

I am not sure if this can be done easily but essentially what I have is a userform that fills out a form that will used by several different people and saved to a central location.

There is a blank combobox currently labeled "Supplier:" that each person fills out each time on the userform (there are no dropdowns yet).

What I am wanting to do is for every person who saves (I have coded the save button) with the "Supplier:" combobox filled out to save what they entered and input that into the combobox dropdown so when the next person uses the userform the entry the previous person entered would be in the combobox as an option to select.

Essentially, a combobox populates itself based on what previous users have entered into it.

Locate Text String After First Space And Before Last Space

I have been working on different formulas to return the text string between the first and last space and have been unsuccessful. Is this possible?

I have tried several combos or Left and Right, I have been able to get the values after the first space, and the values before the last space, but not between the spaces.

String: Y60
~C CULT NUCLEUS 3X2 SPRING WST BK XL

Desired results: D60

INDEX / MATCH Using Multiple Static Lookup Values From Dropdown

May 20, 2014

I am trying to do an INDEX/MATCH to return a value based on multiple lookup_values.

The workbook is attached, and what I am trying to accomplish is this:

If 50, 75, or 90 are selected from Column D drop down of this (Main) worksheet, then return Column A, B, and C values for those rows to the Report worksheet.

So in my sample spreadsheet, John, Jim, and Jack's information should be returned on the Report worksheet because their Column D shows 50, 75, and 90. Alice, Wanda, and Cindy's information should not be returned on the Report worksheet because their column D shows Budget Only, Contacting, and 100.

My current INDEX/MATCH formula is =INDEX(Main!$C2,MATCH(50,Main!$D2),0), but this only works when column D has 50 chosen because I have only asked MATCH to return info if it finds something with 50 because I do not know how to ask it to search for multiple lookup_values.

So, as you will see, only John's information is returned on the report worksheet, but Jim and Jack's are not.

Dropdown For Dynamic Sheets With Static Data To Create Chart

May 20, 2013

I need drop-down combo box to change a graph based on the option selected in the drop-down

Challenge: my Combo box resides on the First sheet only, but the items that populate in the drop-down list are dynamic and change depending on how many sheets exist for this document. The options in the list are Overall, Week 1, Week 2, ... Week N. Overall needs to sum up the data (or I can pull just from the summary page if I am lazy) and the Week N corresponds to a specific sheet added.

I currently am able to get my drop down to populate items correctly, and my macros to create the sheets dynamically with templates just fine (not bad for newbie).

So what I need to figure out is how to tie my drop down to make a scatter plot/bar graph based on the selected option and action. I can't find an attachment option here but here is some code:

Sheet 1 Code:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Me.ComboBox1.Clear
Me.ComboBox1.AddItem "Overall"

[Code].....

Conditional Dropdown Combobox

Aug 7, 2014

I am trying to develop an easier way for our corporate card holders to 'code' their monthly statements. Instead of each card holder receiving a statement and filling out a coding form in excel and printing it out, I would like to email them an excel doc of their specific charges for the month and allow them to use drop down lists to code the transactions. They can then email it back to me, and then we're done! Well, there would be a few more steps but basically, I'm trying to build a dynamic excel doc that would do two things:

1) Conditional drop down boxes so that, depending on their cost center, once they choose their cost center from the first drop down, it would zero them in on only their own account codes in the second box. The second account box would also be a combo box and show the account name once selected.

2) The second I'm not sure about.....is it possible once the conditional drop down box works, to make copies of the 'All Detail' sheet to then narrow down the info to only one card holder? So if the 'All Detail' sheet had all the charges for all the card holders for the month and the conditional drop down worked, could I then make copies of the 'All Detail' sheet, rename it to the one card holder, delete all the transactions except for those relevant to that card holder, and the conditional drop down box would still work? I ask this question because I build an early version (that didn't really work) based on a macro that had code specific to the sheet name. It wouldn't work once I tried to make copies of the sheet and rename it.

My example workbook is attached.

Replacing Referenced Cells With Static Text?

Feb 26, 2013

I'm making a vba macro that takes a workbook and splits and saves it as individual sheets. In this process I need to find all the referenced cells (ie =E5) and change them to their text or numeric value. A few things I've found on the form and tired with no success:

Selection is a column selected from the top to the last used cell (I know there is only 4 columns that have references)

VB:
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste = xlPasteValues

Also tried:

VB:
ActiveSheet.UsedRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Value

I feel like one of these should be working. But even after the paste the values are still references.

Edit: An afterthought, if I were to select the whole sheet and do a copy/special paste would it replace all formula cells with their calculated value?

Make Static Date Appear When Cell Has Text Entered?

Jan 19, 2014

Any way where is a list of cells (b3:b113) has text entered, or specific text entered, it will enter a static cell in the corresponding "d" column.

I know of CTRL + ; but i don't really know how to get it to work as a macro, can't find a forumla that enters the static date, and i don't want to make a macro to copy + paste special the date when it happens.

So all i should have to do is entered text in column b, then it will add a time stamp, when that text was entered, it doesn't have to update.

Like all i need is this, but instead of the "now()" function, it will have another function that doesn't automatically update?

=IF(ISBLANK(E5)=FALSE,NOW(),"")

2. I have a random password function running on column F, however i am trying to get it only produce one result and not keep calculating random values. How do i have the cell calculate only once?

How To Populate Public Array With Static Text Values

Aug 29, 2013

I understand how to create an array within a routine:

CurOptions = Array("M1", "M3", "M3 DSR", "L1", "L2", "CSA")

But I need the array to be public as the array can hold one of 6 different sets of values so I will declare the array to be only used within the module as:

Dim CurOptions(30)

Later I need to fill in the values manually, they will not be copied in, they need to be provided in a list.

It should be just one line.

Combobox Multiple Selection Or Listbox Dropdown?

Oct 25, 2010

I have a userform where I want the user to be able to select multiple options, but am having a bit of a problem finding the best way to do this. If I use a combobox, I don't appear to be able to allow multiple selections, but if I use a listbox I don't appear to be able to implement a dropdown facility. I would prefer to have a single line sized box on my form, but doing this with a listbox would probably be confusing for the user as it is not very easy to see what has been selected.

Combobox Dropdown Selection Makes Desired Value Appear In Cell

Mar 14, 2012

I have searched and have not been able to find an answer to this question so it might be a little unique possibly. I have an ActiveX combo box that I am trying to do something with. The text that I want to appear in the combo box is already there and I did this by creating a list and referencing it to the combo box. So the combo box has the following four items in its drop down:

Boat
Car
Plane
Walk

Now the part I cannot figure out is how to make a selected value appear in another cell based on what was selected in the combo box. For example, if boat is selected in the combo box, then I want the value 25 to appear in a cell. If Plane is selected in the combo box, I want the value of 100 to appear in a cell. For walk 5, and for car 22. I know this can easily be done with data validation and a validation drop down list but I do not want to use that but need to have a combo box do it instead. I just don't know if it cannot be done as a list or not and have experimented with INDEX but not having any luck there. I do not want to use any macros for this either. Basically I am wondering how I can make my combo box work just like data validation drop down menu bar with formatted values outputted into a cell.

VBA Userform Combobox - Select Starting Point Of Dropdown Data?

May 22, 2014

Is there any way to set the list from a Combo Box to automatically start in the middle?

Whenever I select a Combo Box, the drop down list always automatically starts at the top of my selected range, ideally I would like it to start in the middle.

For example my Range that I am filling the Combo Box with lists dates: Today()-7 to Today()+7.

At the moment the first item in the combo box list is Today()-7, I would like it to be Today().

I have a series of times at 15 min intervals and i want, if possible, to distingish between 'working hours' and 'non-working hours' by making the background of these numbers 'grey'.

Maybe looping through from 00:00 to 07:00 i.e 28 times (28 x 15min intervals)?

Copy Named Range Data To Worksheet Based On Dropdown Or Combobox

Feb 10, 2013

I have a worksheet called "Lookup" with several dynamic named ranges (each is 1 column wide) including facility, department, shift, etc. On a summary worksheet in the same workbook I want users to use a dropdown or combo box (don't care what type) in cell B2 to select a facility and then based on their selection, copy the department named range data and paste it into the summary sheet beginning in cell A5 and paste the shift named range data into the summary sheet beginning in cell B5.

Example: user selects "AR Plant" from the dropdown or combo box and the data from the "AR_Rpt" named range is pasted into cell A5 and the "AR_Shift" named range is pasted into cell B5.

All the employees assigned major tasks are automatically filtered out but these are employees with administrative tasks that should only be assigned as a last resort. I would like to assign the employees with administrative tasks a gray, italic, strike-out or some other font to indicate that they are different.

I assume this is done during the Add Item process...
