I have attached a sample data sheet which i am working on . ITs a comparitive matrix trable with Input validation between 0&2 . I also want the table to be dynamic .If i want to increase or reduce no. of rows and clumns i should do it some how . More details are mentioned in the attached file .
View 1 RepliesI have a question on the above but can't seem to find a solution. There are two ways that I can find for dealing with dynamic lists via data validation:-
1) Offset and match, cavet being the data must be sorted a-z
2) Have lists for each potential selection
Is there any way to get around 1 without having to do 2? E.g. Got two columns of data, unsorted, and a list from which the user can choose from. The user chooses from the list in first cell, in the second cell require the dynamic list to return all the values accordingly?
How to (by vba or whatever):
1) convert the Matrix data into the data table, and;
2) convert the data table into the matrix data

I am trying to convert the data I have to matrix format. I have attached a sample of the data in the file I have attached. The data is in the worksheet "Original" and the matrix format that I am trying to convert is in the "Transformed" worksheet. Can someone please help me with the VBA code for going from "Original" to "Transformed"?

How can write a formula/macro where I can put the three identifiers and retrive the data/cell into a new work sheet?
I have a set of exported data from a Project Management SW (activecollab). The result is an excel .xslx file with a table inside with a lot of cells I am not going to use. Additionally, what I would like to do is creating new tables on other sheets that use only the data I want from the export. For example, I have two projects and three employees. I want to create three tables with the names of the three employees. In each table I want the tasks done by them and the time they will spend on them in order to create a Gantt chart. I need a solution that allows me to create new tables with selected data from a bigger cluster (the export). you do not need to give me the exact solution, I only need to know whether it is possible or not and where could I get the info to do what I want.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to auto-fill a matrix in sheet 1 with information from sheet 2. see the attached example. Only, in this case I put the values into sheet 1 manually. Is it possible to this without VBA? I am experimenting with an INDEX/MATCH combination, but thought I'd raise the question here in parallel.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSheet A - The user input form. There is a column which needs data validation. I want it to look at Sheet B and ONLY accept values based on a column value from the other sheet
Sheet B- Contains the list we want the data validation from. One column is considered the lookup value, while the other is what we want the user to be selecting from.
Here is an example list:
Predecessor Entity Key---- Item ID
2659407------------------- SHELL - SOUTH TOWER
2659407------------------- MARKING / LABELING
2659407------------------- FOUNDATIONS & SUPPORTS
2659410------------------- UPPER HEAD - NORTH TOWER
2659410------------------- FOUNDATIONS & SUPPORTS
2659410------------------- LOWER HEAD - SOUTH TOWER
So, in Sheet 1, if one of the triggering values is 2659407, I want my data validation to ONLY Allow the first 3 values from the Item ID column.
The issue I am having is using a pretty messy formula to try and produce a dynamic range for the Data Validation to use.
Here is what works:
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(ADDRESS(MATCH(J4,A:A,0),2),":",ADDRESS(ROW(OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH(J4,A:A,0),2)),COUNTIF(A:A,J4)-1,0)),2)))
where J4 is the lookup value/1st column depicted in our simple example
This is done on the SAME sheet. So I figure, just add "'Sheet Name'!" for the first argument in CONCATENATE. Unfortunately, this does not work. How to get this to work on an outside sheet?
Update:
Also tried:
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("'Profile Item Library'!",ADDRESS(MATCH(J4,'Profile Item Library'!A:A,0),2),":",ADDRESS(ROW(OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH(J4,'Profile Item Library'!A:A,0),2)),COUNTIF('Profile Item Library'!A:A,J4)-1,0)),2)))
The error I get is that I cannot Reference other worksheets. However, If I type in ='Profile Item Library'!B1:B18 for the Data Validation argument, it works.
I need to setup a dropdown list (I already have the dropdown created) so that once a value in the list is used, it disappears from the list. Now for the monkey wrench...It need to completely re-populate once the list that is being generated from it is cleared.
I also need to copy a value from one sheet to another sheet, however, the location needs to be matched with a corresponding value from the first sheet. Hopefully it will be easier to understand within the workbook (I feel like I'm not explaining it well).
I have attached a sample copy of the workbook and what I am trying to accomplish.

I am looking for a solution for my problem: I work for a bus company, I need a spreadsheet where I will record the bus numbers into a sheet but I only want to be able to add the number once ie. error if duplicate bus entered. Also the numbers will change from time to time, old buses sold when new ones arrive. I have the following code that someone helped me with wich works fine provided you don't have to change the numbers.

so let us consider that these are the prices for X company and i have another ten tables for other 10 companies, what i need to do is to create a unified table that includes all the companies prices for all the destination depending on the Country_Code as it could be considered as a primary Key and without any duplications and to include the all the data in all the tables as some destinations and prices are not available in all the tables, so the tables contains different data, the unified table should look something like this

In 'MAIN REPORT' there are thousands of columns of data, of which the important columns are 'Factory No.' and 'Row No' and 'Quantity'.
Each factory has its own worksheet as well.
In each of those factory sheets there is a 15x65 grid for each of the 65 rows that are mentioned in MAIN REPORT.
I have created and IF statement that checks if there is any data in 'Quantity row' and if there is it enters a "1" in the that cell of the virtual Factory grid.
This is the formula:
=IF('MAIN REPORT'!I2="","",1)
However, this simply checks that data while there is only 1 quantity for each row of each house.
Sometimes there will be different quantities (for diff. products), and I need a formula/macro that checks the line no. column and then,
If there are 5 items in row 7 for example then it will place five "1"'s in the first five cells of row seven in the corresponding factory sheet.
I have a spreadsheet that I use to store my rock climbing records.
how to create Dependent Validation for this spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet has three worksheets:
1. Climbing Area
This is a unique list of various rock climbing areas.
Data in column A only
2. Climb Details
This is where all the details of the climb e.g. pitch lengths, grade, etc are recorded. Column called Climbing Area uses a named range validation from the Climbing Areas) sheet.
Climbing Area data validation in column A and Climb Name in column B, grade, pitch lengths in other columns.
3. Dates & Pitches
This is where I record the date I did the actual climb. Once again the Climbing Area uses data validation from the Climbing Area worksheet.
What I am trying to work out is how I can get the next column Climb Name to be dependent upon the previous column. For example if I select a climbing area of Mt Arapiles, I only want those climbs from the Climb Details worksheet that a recorded as being at Mt Arapiles.
Column A is date when climb done. Column B is data validation from Climbing Area. Column C is Climb Name (would like this dependent upon column B.
I am a personal trainer/strength coach, and i use excel to write my workout programs.
To save time in writing programs i have made lists of all of my exercises in a separate workbook. I have them all linked via data validation in drop down lists to different templates for different populations ;weight loss, injury prevention, sports performance, ect. And it has been working great!
However here is my problem, I would like to be able to return an entire list of an exercise circuit with one drop down list and have it input all the exercises in cells below the drop down list.
So for example i have three columns on a separate sheet.
Column one
Circuit A
exercise 1
exercise 2
exercise 3
Column two
Circuit A
exercise 4
exercise 5
exercise 6
Column Three
Circuit A
exercise 7
exercise 8
exercise 9
In cell A1 i want a drop down list that that has circuit A, B, C,
using the drop down list if i pick circuit A it will return exercise 1, 2, 3 in the cells A2, A3, A4, receptively.
Is it possible to have a dependent validation drop box that under certain conditions automatically produces an actual value in the cell instead of a drop-down list to choose from? For example, if I choose “Holy Avenger” in the first drop box, and the value for that choice in the second drop box is always a “2”, can you get it to auto-populate in the cell occupied by that 2nd drop box (cell B5 in the attachment)? Or, are you restricted to using Lists only, meaning that you could create a List that only has the value “2” in it, and the user would be required to choose the “2” in the drop box?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am unable to use dependent data validation lists using the INDIRECT function when the initial named range is a dynamic one.
See attached.
The named ranges 'Men','Women','Children' are all dynamic based on number of entries in each column order to accommodate a growing list, whilst also not having blanks in the dropdown (hence I haven't used entire column ranges). The named range 'test' is a static one.
Column H has a dependent data validation based on entry in Col G. This works for the static list, but not the dynamic one!
I'm working on trying to maintain an inventory management sheet where i basically enter all the spare parts issued to vehicles. Now there are more than 700 parts dat form the components of a vehicle, so i decided to split this list into 12 spare groups(Gear, Engine, Body, Axle, etc etc..) and then based on wotever spare group being selected my sheet wud pull dat specific spare group list.
Since i've worked with indirect function before i thought this was a piece of cake!
However when i actually sat working on getting my sheet together i realised its not gonna be dat easy! Basically my spare group lists are a work in progress and so new items would/may be added to these lists as we start working on this sheet. So i decided to make them dynamic by using the offset function. But list validation fails when i use Indirect function on dynamic ranges!
Trying to set up a dynamic data validation, where each of the subsequent data validation boxes change based on the selection in the first data validation box (while maintaining 4 parameters within a cell, except for the last one).
I have used the IF-statements to determine the "Week's SUM" in H5.
What I'd like to do next is to determine a formula in the "Week's SUM" cells (H6,H7,H8) based on the choices in data validation boxes "Week #" (G6,G7,G8) with the following rules in place:
1. If I made a choice in G5 to be "1" which caused data validation in cell G6 to update, then in G6 I choose "2", the output in H6 should be just week 2's value of 20 (not the sum of week 1 and 2).
2. However, if I choose "3" in G6 (after I chose "1" in G5, as above) then I'd like the output in H6 to be the SUM of week's 2 AND 3, if that makes sense and so on. (e.g. If I chose "5" in G6, then output in H6 should be the SUM of week's 2 AND 3 AND 4 AND 5).
Same rules apply for H7 and H8. I have a feeling this may involve MATCH function and INDIRECT or SUMIFS but how to approach this.

I'm using Data Validation for various fields in a form and I'm trying to make it user friendly by adding Error Alert conditions and text explaining why the error has occurred. I also want the form to be translatable into other languages.
For some VBA message boxes that get displayed I can put the English text in some hidden cells and that can be translated easily by someone without access to the code. But I cannot figure out how to make the Data Validation Error Alert messages point to a cell so that they are also translatable without forcing the translator to open each Data Validation dialog.
I am looking for a way to define a 'Data Validated' Cell to hold a List of Dynamic Sequential Numbers - from 1 to the Value of cell A4. For example:
If cell A4 has a value of 5 the 'Data Validated' List will be 1,2,3,4,5
I have tried to 'name' the Array-Formula {=ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&A4))} and put the 'name' as the List source but without success.
I can use a dynamic named range and a direct reference to the name and the DV works.
I can use a standard named range (not dynamic) and an INDIRECT() reference to a cell with the name of the range in it and the DV works.
But if I try to use a dynamic named range and an indirect reference to a cell with the name of the range in it, the DV fails.
Any workarounds out there? This project includes a LOT of DV lists, getting them to self-maintain is important if I can do it.
I have a range which will change in size & in content, & I want this to be a Named Range at whatever size it is.
Reason I want to is because I want to make a Validation List with this dynamic range. I also want a Validation list which lists the content of 2 or more dynamic ranges which may or may not be on the same worksheet - is this possible?
i.e.
First dynamic range: called "Milestones" at A11
Second dynamic range: called "Activities" at A25
& make a Validation list that will list content of both

I'm building a workbook that has a tab for each department (sales, admin, tech, etc.) w/i a project. I also have an inputs and instructions tab where I have all of my lists and background info hidden.
Essentially, on each tab, the user will build a team for the project using drop down lists. The lists reference data on the inputs tab. This data includes a list of all of the titles in the company, as well as which department they belong to. I want the validation to be structured such that the sales tab drop downs only see sales titles, admin only sees admin titles, etc. I also need it to be dynamic in its drop down inclusions so that when I add/subtract titles, I don't have to reset the validation for new cell references. Below is an example of the what the reference data looks like.
Input Tab:
Col A --- Col B
Dept --- Title
Sales --- Rep
Sales --- Sr. Rep
Admin --- VP
Admin --- SVP
Sales --- Closer
Tech --- Analyst
Tech --- Developer
I need to create a dynamic list from a table of data.
I have performance data for 110 different pumps. Data points are generated every hour, and the table is updated with new data periodically. I want to automate the population of a list of 6 different pumps, and specify the date range populated. To put it another way: I want to place data from Pumps 1 through 6 for all of November into Columns A through F. Then I want to clear that data, and show data for Pumps 105-110 for last week in those same Columns.
One of the main goals of doing this -- other than quickly narrowing a field of data -- is being able to quickly chart this data on a scatter plot with a custom format. The pumps are grouped together by region, and individual pumps have specific purposes. So I need to quickly generate graphs with a series' color scheme or formatting that is consistent and logical between different pumping regions.
I haven't been able to make pivot table work because of the graphing issue, and also because of the way it handles data points and presents data. I would like to make this work with excel functions and maybe some filtering, but I'm not opposed to figuring out a VB script if you think that's what I should use.
am working on a spreadsheet that requires sorting a list of names and numbers. The numbers have a sum formula attached. I can set up the macro to sort the list fine by selecting the appropriate cells and creating the macro.
The code for this is below
Sub SurnameSort()
'
' SurnameSort Macro
' Sorts by mechanic surname
'
'
Range("A10:H13").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("B10"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess _
, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
End Sub
However, I want the macro to still be able to sort the data when I add new rows to the list later on. In other words, the code above in bold somehow needs to be modified so that "H13" extends as far down as needed.
I have a cell with data validation that I would like to look at table and be dynamic rather than a manual selection. So when I add to the list the data validation will reconise there are more options.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using a table with dynamic data to populate a column/line chart.
The data is based on monthly targets achieved and forecasted. With each month, the information will update. The graph needs to have only the current month and future months to be displayed and I don't want to include the previous months information in the chart. The information in the chart automatically updates and loses the previous month's data. Unfortunately, the graph plots the blank data and has a blank entry on the graph. This means that the information I need starts in the middle of the chart and has a line that shoots up from 0 to the current month's value.
Is there any way that I can omit the month altogether?
