Dynamic Dropdown For Identical Items?

Aug 20, 2013

I have successfully used dynamic lists that remove items that have been selected from a dropdown menu already, however, is there any way dynamic lists can be set up to handle multiple identical items and then if there are say 3 identical items in the dynamic list, once 1 has been select only 2 remain in the list...?

Linking 2 Identical Dropdown Lists?

Jan 21, 2013

I have two identical drop down lists (months i.e. Jan, Feb, Mar ...) in two different sheets but in the same workbook. Is there any way where the user changes the month in sheet 1 & the other drop down list in sheet 2 changes automatically to the same month selected by the user in the sheet 1 or vice-versa?

Print All Items In Dropdown List?

Mar 18, 2014

I have about 145+- employees and I made a simple spreadsheet that allows me make a timesheet for every employee. However, I do not want to sit here and select each employee's name and press print 145+ times. Is there another way to do this?

All I would like to do is press print or run a macro and 145 sheets pops out. I have to do this weekly and it would take me an hour to individually do this.

Getting Values For Dropdown List Items

Mar 25, 2008

I created a drop down list for products my company sells. Now I am wondering how can I get Excel to display the cost of the item in another column so I do not have to type in the cost each time I bring that product up.

I have searched google and this site but of course I can't describe my search well enough to find what im looking for.

I'm sure this has been explained I just can't find the answer to my problem.

Certain Dropdown Items Filling Different Information Into Cells?

Oct 25, 2012

Wasn't sure what the easy way to do this is. I'm trying to have a drop down menu where choosing a certain item triggers specific information to fill multiple cells. For instance, choosing Work Contacts in a drop down menu brings up four different people's names in cells B43-46 and their phone number in C43-46 and email in D43-46. Choosing another item for instance, Personal Contacts, would reveal a different set of four names and information.

Exclude Items In Dropdown Based On User Data

Jul 10, 2013

I'm trying to set up a diet/training spreadsheet so that when a client enters foods and exercises they don't want/can't do, those foods and exercises are made unavailable in dropdown menus (on my programming sheet) so that I can't inadvertently put them into their plans. I have a webform they fill out, which automatically puts the data into a spreadsheet and I know how to pull data from there into the clients' workbooks...

How To Generate Dropdown List With Data Which Uses Column To Identify Items

Apr 18, 2014

I have in column A and B. A includes two (or may be more) kind of items, i.e. drink and snack. Column B has for example water next to drink and chips next to snack. The list is huge.

How can I generate a drop down list with data which uses the A column to identify the items which it should include. I want to make two separate drop down lists for drink and snack and each should include only those options which belong to those categories. I.e. drink list should be like water, cola, pepsi, etc. The problem is that the list is huge and it's not possible to sort it. Some kind of if statement structure with named range? The drop down should be dynamic in a sense that if I add line to data, it should be picked to the right drop down menu.

Changing Background Colour Of Items In A Dropdown / Combobox On Userform?

May 23, 2014

I would like to know whether it is possible to change the background colour of items in a dropdown/combobox on my userform?

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)?

Excel 2010 :: Pivot Table Dropdown Filter Hiding Items?

Dec 22, 2011

In the coming months the company i work for will be transferring from Excel 2003 to Excel 2010 (i know, a little late......) and now i am testing some things at home.

We deliver lots of Excel reports to our clients where we are using Pivot tables. In excel 2003 we where able to hide items from the dropdowns using properties - hide items but when i now open an excel 2003 file in excel 2010 and want to filter the pivot table to (let's say) another month i see all my hidden items.

Is there an option in excel 2010 to hide items like i could do in 2003? (either regular option or VBA)

Dynamic Dropdown Menu / List

Aug 22, 2013

I have a successful dropdown menu that removes items that have already been selected through the dropdown list, however, I need it to be able to handle IDENTICAL items. At the moment, it can only handle unique items.

I'm trying to create a Rota Planner. I have a selection of shifts that need to be selected for each day. Some shifts are repeated (meaning that there may be 4 members of staff on the same shift). As ONE of each of the 4 shifts are selected, I then want only 3 to be displayed in the dropdown menu to be selected, until all of them have been selected.

I've tried to break apart the code that provides dynamic dropdown list for UNIQUE values but I'm tearing my hair out and getting nowhere.

Dynamic Average With Different Dropdown Selections

May 6, 2014

I have a worksheet that is computing the average price for an apartment rental, and I want the average to change when I de-select or select different qualities from my drop down list. For example, I want to look at buildings that allow pets and Utilities included in rent, which hides all but 4 buildings, yet the average remains the same that was calculated with the whole data table.

I know it's relatively easy to just then average that out, but I would really like to have it be dynamic for future additions and comparing many variances quickly compared to other data sheets of buildings in other areas.

VLOOKUP Query (produce A Dropdown List Of These Items For Use Within The Pricing Sheet Worksheet )

Mar 27, 2009

I have attached a sample workbook, (Pricing Sheet - Major) within this work book there is a worksheet entitled Price Book which has commonly-used materials, unit prices and labour rates. What he wishes to do is use the contents of the Price Book worksheet within a worksheet called Pricing Sheet to enable him to prepare quotations.

I had the idea to first sort the items in the Price Book worksheet and then produce a dropdown list of these items for use within the Pricing Sheet worksheet and used the VLOOKUP function to obtain the values for unit prices and labour within the Price Book and use them in the Pricing Sheet worksheet.

Create Dependent Dropdown With Dynamic List?

Apr 1, 2014

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.

Set Up Spreadsheet With Linked Dynamic Dropdown Lists?

Apr 24, 2014

I am trying to set up a spreadsheet with linked dynamic drop down lists, based on a table.Using the OFFSET function, I have managed to get this to work if the table is on the SAME sheet at the drop down lists. But I want to be able to put the drop down lists onto a different sheet, so that I can lock and hide the table.

I don't want to use the 'name based on the previous column' idea, as the table is large and will change weekly. the drop downs show all values, even duplicates, which I would like to get rid of.

Multiple Conditional (Dynamic) Dropdown Boxes

Jun 5, 2014

I'm trying to incorporate multiple conditional (Dynamic?) drop down boxes to enable me to get an appropriate code at the end of the process. This will be used to product data entry and the code will tell Amazon where to post the product. I have many thousands of codes that i need to access and the easiest and most accurate way is to break down everything in to category and sub categories until I eventually get the code I want for that specific product.

for Example:

1730708031Clothing/Baby/Baby Girls 0-24m/Hoodies & Tracksuits/Tracksuit Bottoms

To return this code I would want to select Clothing, which returns a list which includes baby which in turn will give me a list that includes baby girls and so on and so on until I can select Tracksuit bottoms that will return the code.

Each list is dependent on the previous choice

As I have thousand and thousand of potential codes creating range list for each potential category and sub categories is not really feasible and would be very difficult to maintain when changes occur.

With this in mind I have created a code list that breaks the above example so that each category is now in it's own cell and there can be upto 8 (as I've seen so far) potential conditional categories before you return the code and ideally I would like to use this as it very easy to create and update. (see attached)

I might be able to use filters to return the appropriate list each time but don't know where to begin.

Dynamic Dropdown Menus With Offset Formula

Sep 29, 2011

I have a table in cells A1:B11. I have two drop down menus in cells G3 and H3. When I select red in G3 I need Bob, Sam and Sarah appear in the drop down menu in cell H3. Instead, with my current formula, only Sarah appears in the drop down in cell H3. When I select green in G3 I need Tommy, Bob, Sandy, Carl and Phil appear in the drop down menu in Cell H3. Instead with my current formula only Phil appears in the drop down in cell H3.

I linked cell H3 to the defined name Names which equals
OFFSET(INDEX(Sheet4!$B:$B, MATCH(Sheet4!$G$3, Sheet4!$A:$A,0),0),COUNTIF(Sheet4!$A:$A, Sheet4!$G$3)-1,0).

What should I add to this formula to make it work correctly?

Dynamic Named Range Not Available In Dropdown Or Plots

Nov 28, 2012

I have a workbook that has a 50 years worth of daily values for ~30 data streams. Each data stream is a tab, days are in rows with each year a new column. I want to plot selected date ranges of selected data streams from selected years on one page. So I have a tab, "QuickCharts" that has a spinner to change the year and based on that change it pulls in two dozen different data streams (reservoir information, so we're talking Inflow, Outflow, Stage, Temperature, etc at different sites). I have static plot of the entire year's data for each site. This much works fine.

I want to be able to dynamically change the plot ranges, though, with spinners. I created 12 named ranges using this type of syntax:

Code:
=OFFSET(QuickCharts!$Y$3:$AP$367,PlotStart,9,PlotStart+PlotOffset,1)
where PlotStart and PlotOffset are named cells containing a single value.

Things that work:
- I can perform operations on the named range (e.g. =Average(PR_XAxis) works fine)
- I can go to the named range dropdown in the upper left and type the range names in, and the range is selected as expected.
- The named ranges are offered as autocomplete options when typing in cell formulas.

Things that don't work:
- These named ranges don't appear in the named range dropdown list at the top left - I can type them in, but they aren't there by themselves.
- I cannot use those named ranges as series for a chart.

I tried replacing PlotStart PlotOffset with the absoilute cell references. That didn't work.

I tried scoping to worksheet instead of workbook - didn't work.

This seems to be related to this question, but the solution there isn't working for me. Selecting Chart Data Sources Using Named Ranges...

Excel 2010 :: Dynamic Dropdown List Of Dates?

Aug 9, 2013

I'm trying to create a set of three dynamic/dependent drop down lists of date values, based on a set of imported data. Depending on whether the preferred choice is to list all dates in a range or just dates on the 15th, the available start and end drop down lists will change.

In addition, if possible I would then like to display a list of valid dates (not sure if this needs to be VBA).

The attached sheet shows/explains what I am attempting but here it is as well:

If B3 is set to show all dates in the month then:

the first dropdown option for C3 will be the first date of IMPORT (D2)
the first dropdown option for C4 will be the C3 value, to the last date in IMPORT (D) column

If B3 is set to show 15th of the month then:

the dropdown for C3 will be the first date of IMPORT (D) column with a date of 15th the dropdown for C4 will be in the range of C3 to the last date of IMPORT (D) column with a date of 15th only dates of 15th will be listed in both C3 and C4 dropdownlists

General

the dates in IMPORT column D are taken from IMPORT column A, B & C, which will be imported and will always be date sequential the number of rows of date entries will change with every import but there will never be any blank rows between dates the values in IMPORT columns A, B & C will always be numerical, and can be referenced if required [ideally] the LIST OF DATES will be populated with the date range, based on the option selected in B3

I'm fairly familiar with Excel (2010) and I have also done some VBA but I'm new to dynamic, nested dropdown lists and I'm unsure what the most practical way is to achieve this.

Dynamic Dropdown List Based On Column Filter?

Jun 9, 2014

I have a spread sheet that has three sheets, PROJECTS - TIMES - LISTS Time sheet.xlsx PROJECTS contains a list of 'In Progress' and 'completed' projects for work, with relevant other data, I.e. PROJECT No. / STATUS etc This will grow to 1,000's of rows TIMES will contain the amount of time a person spends on a PROJECT on a daily basis. This will grow to 10,000's of rows LISTS contain basic validation list for the first 2 sheets.

Part A
I would like to have a validation drop down list for the PROJECT NO column in the TIMES sheet that only lists the PROJECT NO from the PROJECTS sheet where STATUS <> COMPLETED. I.e. I only want to display the PROJECT NO's for current projects.

Part B
Even though I only want the PROJECT NO used, can the drop down list also contain other column's data for reference information only before one is selected.
