Dynamic/Dependent Lisbox.
Nov 10, 2009
I would like To display product information in a multi column listbox. Column 1 is a product category and Column 2 is the product description. Now for the dynamic part. I would like to have a combobox loaded with non duplicated values of column 1 of the listbox. When "~Caulking~" is selected from the combobox. The listbox is to display only the "~Caulking~"products and their description. And having a value of "~All Items~" placed into the combobox will display All products in the listbox.
The sheet that will contain the raw data source can/will have items added to inceacing the row count. Also the sheet will be left in an unknown sort by column state. I thought of taking the raw data source and copying it to a new sheet and splitting the data into various columns, Eg 1 column for "~Caulking~" another for "~All Items~"... and then removing the sheet on userfrom completion. Or possably using collections or scripting dictonary or anythink that works well.

I need to create a 2-stage dependent drop down list.
Stage 1:
In cell G7 (on a tab called 'Data'), I have created a drop down list based on a range name called 'Region' .
Stage 2:
In cell G8, I need to create a drop down list which is dependent on the value chosen in G7.
Problem is, I will need to create a dynamic range name here which needs to vlookup or match the value from G7 in a dynamic list of data (the data is on different tab called 'RCA Data' and is spread over columns A:E with row A for headings - the data will go down an undetermined number of rows)
Every time the value in G7 matches a value in the 'RCA data' (the potential matches are stored in column
D) I need the corresponding cell value in column C to be added to the dynamic list. This list then needs to be available to choose from a drop down list in G8.

I am attempting to create a form in excel with dynamic data validation fields. What has me stumped is that I want to create multiple complex dependencies (for instance, if you select something from a drop-down list in the first field, that then gives you a specific range in the second field. Then based on what you placed in the second field it gives you a specific range in the third field.). What I can't seem to work out is the formula for making this work.
Is this impossible? Also sometimes the third field my be blank.
Here is an example of what I am trying to accomplish

I need the drop down menu to update when the user adds a new entry. For example, if the user decides to add companies to the financial table, no matter how many new rows they add, our drop down menu at the top will update to include the new the entries. I want this to be the case in every table. How do I do this?

I 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 have data that resembles (I have also attached an example workbook as well if that is easier)
Column A.................Column B................Column C..................Column D.............Column E................Column F
Year.......................Quarter...................Month..................Product-Code...........[data A]................[data B]
2013.........................Q1.........................Jan........................SD-21...................13%......................0.05%
2013.........................Q2..........................Apr........................NV-12...................7%.......................6%
etc
I am hoping to have, on another sheet, a series of dependent drop boxes- Year, Quarter, Month, SKU- which after selecting then displays 'dataA' & 'dataB'.
So you could select- List 1: 2013 ----> List 2: Q1 ----> List 3: Jan ----> SD-21.................and then 13% and 0.05% are displayed.
The data will be continuously added to and so needs to be based on a dynamic data range.
I know that a pivot table is the perfect way to do this, however my bosses have requested that I do not use that format so it is easy for all staff to access.
So I think I need to construct some sort of dashboard sheet, I have experimented with OFFSET from other posts, but so far have had no joy.

This example workbook contains a datatable, which is inputted via a userform. The datatable has 4 columns: Date, Invoice no., Loads, Tonnage. This table is dynamic, as a new row gets entered each time data is entered in the userform. A different userform (the one in the example) has comboboxes which refer to the data in the table. This userform asks the user for the Date, Invoice no., Loads and Tonnage. I want to use comboboxes so that they will advise the input based on the users previous input.
The first combobox asks the user for a data, and should contain a list of all the unique dates that are stored in the table. When the first combobox is inputted, the list for the second combobox will change. The list of the second combobox should be a list of unique invoice numbers, based on the date that has already been entered. The 3rd and the 4th combobox should also show a list of unique values, based on the previously entered date and invoice no.
Example: The first combobox should advise the dates: 4-Nov-14 and 15-Nov-14. User chooses 4-Nov --> second combobox should advise unique invoice numbers based on chosen date: 1252 and 1311. User chooses 1152 --> 3rd combobox should advise unique values based on previous values: 3, 8 and 7. 4th combobox: 57, 23 and 47.

Situation:
I have two drop down lists 1) Country and 2) States/province
Country has list: [US, Canada]
If "US" is selected, [Arizona ,Florida, NewYork] is listed in the 2nd drop down list
If "Canada" is selected, [Alberta, Ontario, Quebec] is listed in the 2nd drop down list
Scenario:
First, I select "US" and choose the states to "Florida"
Next I change the country to "Canada" and forgot to choose province
Then, the 2nd dropdown list is changed to [Alberta, Ontario, Quebec],
BUT the current value is still "Florida"
Probem:
Now I have "Canada" and "Florida" selected in the sheet
Question:
If the primary list is changed, can I make the 2nd drop down list to show a default value (e.g. blank or the first entry i.e. Alberta)?

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 would like to replace the blue bit of this Dynamic Named Range (DNR) with an INDIRECT formula in order to modify the starting point for the DNR: =OFFSET(DATA!$C$60,0,0,20,1). Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get my INDIRECT formula to work in order to use it to replace the blue bit above: INDIRECT("'"DATA"'!&ADDRESS(MATCH('SHEET1'!AC8,DATA_Date,0)+22,3)"). The orange bit of the formula above returns a value of 60, therefore the ADDRESS formula should return $C$60, that can then feed into the INDIRECT and act as the equivalent of DATA!$C$60. But it doesn’t.

I 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?

I have a dynamic table which is linked to a couple of charts. The table must remain dynamic.
I needed to add two new columns to the table, "Focus Area" and "Category". I need a drop down list in the "Category" column to be dependent on the item selected from a drop down menu in "Focus Area".
I can get the first row of the dynamic table to do this.... however; subsequent rows all lock the drop down list in the "Category" column to the same choices regardless of what is chosen in the "Focus Area" list.
Is there a way to make dynamic drop downs within a dynamic table?

I've created a dependent list in Excel using Data validation. The first list is independent and the second list depends on the first list. I'm facing one problem in this. After selecting a element in first list and corresponding element in second list, if I want to change the first list again, I can go and change the value. But the value in the second list remains the same. I want the second list to be empty when I' selecting the first list again. How can I do this?

how to make make cell D4 dependent on the value in cell D3. So if cell D3 = 10 (it's max), then cell D4 could equal 0-10. I want to use this in conjunction with Solver so that D4 is a variable, but can't be greater than zero until D3 is maxed out. I've already tried different formulas, but I'm not very good at writing them and data validation didn't seem to work either.

Firstly I have these 12 values as in the attached excel sheet (in the order: FY09, FY09Q4, FY09H1, FY09H2, FY10, FY10Q1, FY10Q2, FY10Q3, FY10Q4, FY10H1, FY10H2, FY11Q1) to be selected as Start Date and End Date. The Limitation on Start and End Date is that the End Date cannot be smaller than Start Date (for e.g.: If start Date is FY09Q4 the End Date can be FY09Q4 and above but not FY09). Now I have a separate set of Initiatives/Objectives for each time period (each Initiatives are marked in excel sheet 2) and Initiatives depend upon Start Date Selected so once Start Date is selected only the related List of Initiatives should be published.
Now the Validation and Naming I have used is not allowing me to use a list name as “FY09” and “FY10” as they are cell references in the Workbook. But I cannot also change the name to something as FY_09 as the data that would be there in the Template will finally be used without editing for upload to an application.

I have been searching on this for a little while now but have not been able to find a solution to my problem. I have been asked to create a series of dependent dropdown lists using excel so that we can use these for inventory imports into a asset system. The catch on this is that nobody here really has any idea on how to make these dependent lists reference each other correctly. The reason for that is because the fields all have spaces in them and I do not know how to get a list name with a space in it or to create the proper translation for it. An example of this would be something like what I have written in below ....

Say in A1 i have either Yes or No, in B1 i have a dropdown validation from a list if A1 is Yes and "n/a" if A1 is no.
I thought if i renamed my list validation to "Yes" and labelled "n/a" as "No", then using =INDIRECT(A1) as my list validation would do the trick.

I need a formula that can calculate this, but I have no idea how to figure this out since there are so many variables or even what formula this involves:
In cell H25 I need it to sum H21:H24, but if E21:E24 display “Buy” I need it to sum the corresponding value in column E as if it were negative.

I have a list of departments on "Employee Data" sheet on column A and list of staff names on column B. It looks like this:
DEPT FULL NAME
pdi Bob Tan
pdi John Christian
aftersales_bikes Jim Yeo
I have 24 departments in total and 300 over employees in mt employee data sheet.
On "Jan - June 2014 Training Hours" sheet, when employees attend training courses, I will have to update what courses they went for, no of hours etc.
My problem is:
I would like to select the department (using combo box for the auto complete function) and when department is selected, the staffs in that particular department will show. I have attached the file for your understanding. Currently, I am using data validation with indirect function in that file but would like to switch to combo box.

I want to create a spreadsheet, where one column allows the user to choose 'P' or 'C' from a list. No problem. I want the next column to contain options specific to what they choose. So if they choose 'C' they get a different list to choose from than if they would have chosen 'P'.

I'm trying to set up a consolidated spreadsheet with a number of tabs and a master sheet to work on. I want to set up this master so that I can type the sheet name into one box and in the next box it will use the sheetname I've just typed in to then pull the array off that sheet. I'm using this with VLOOKUP but when I try and type A1! in in the array section, it doesn't seem to like it.

I have a spreadsheet that I'm trying to fill with data. There's a lot going on in the sheet, but 1 really useful thing I could incorporate is a running count.
Explanation: I have about 2000 rows of data at the moment.
A row would be finished if it's column J,K,L,M,N & O have data (text) in ALL of them; IE 6 cells of data in order for it to be complete.
So, a running total. If say 200 rows have data in J to O (all 6 cells) the count would show 200. My rows of data start from Row 5. I'd like to add the formula to cell N2.

I am trying to put together two combo boxes, Combo1 and Combo2, the content of Combo2 will depend on the selection made in Combo1, for example Combo1 will have 10 items, once an item is selected Combo2 will have different sub selections relating to that item. I know you can do this via Validation, but the problem with that I have about 4000 options in the combo1 and about 60000 in the second, here is the structure of my data:
First Option /Second Option
Option1_____1.1
Option1_____ 1.2
Option1_____ 1.3
Option2_____ 2.1
Option2_____ 2.2
Option2_____ 2.3
Option3_____ 3.1
Option3_____ 3.2
Option3_____ 3.3
My ultimate final result should look like this, two drop down menus once Option1 is selected second drop down form should display these options:
Option1 /_____ 1.1
____________ 1.2
____________ 1.3
