Getting Values For Dropdown List Items
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.

List Values In Pivot Table Page Field Dropdown
I want to print one sheet for each of the values in a page field drop-down. I can do this by supplying the values individually (code below) but would rather determine the list of values dynamically. Can this be done? Private Sub pbPrintAll_Click() Dim cix As Integer Dim Ctrct As String cix = 3 While (Sheets("Database"). Range("B" + Trim(Str(cix))).Value <> "") ' Get value from database sheet Ctrct = Sheets("Database").Range("B" + Trim(Str(cix))).Value ' Set CurrentPage value Sheets("Customer P&L Pivot1"). PivotTables(1).PivotFields("Cust 1A_Name").CurrentPage = Ctrct ' Print formatted sheet Sheets("Customer P&L").PrintOut cix = cix + 1 Wend ' Reset Current Page value Sheets("Customer P&L Pivot1").PivotTables(1).PivotFields("Cust 1A_Name").CurrentPage = "(All)" MsgBox "Prints sent to printer."

I am trying to use a row of cells as update cells, where the user inputs an amount into greyed out cells, which in turn updates Sheet1!$I$2:$I$11, from which it will update other worksheets that are currently in progress. but I do not know how to go about it. Is it possible? For each amount the user enters (for each Code Number) a date will be displayed below the amount.

Manually Enter % And Update Price (Formula)
I'd like to be able to add 10% to column D and have the prices in A, B, C change accordingly. Is there a formula for this? A B C D 2009 Distributor CASE Price2010 Distributor CASE Price2010 Distributor EACH PriceVariance from 2009 price135.00148.000.0592108.25100.000.040062.8875.006.250066.6096.008.0000 PS: Right now I have it set up working the opposite way, the prices are entered and my formula tells the user by what % the price has changed. The user wants to be able to tell the formula what % is desired and have the prices change accordingly. The formula I am using for the way column currently calculates is: =IF((G2=0),"",(((G2-F2)/F2)*1))

Checkboxes In Dropdown List
I want to make a dropdown populated with checkboxes, where multiple boxes can be checked at once. A dropdown won't work because I want to check multiple lines. I am using VBA and have an array to populate the checkbox dropdown, but I don't know how to make a dropdown filled with checkboxes at all, even manually in excel. A column of checkboxes won't work because there could be hundreds and I don't want to have to dynamically format the contents of the rest of the page.

Dropdown List Selection
I am trying to make a spreadsheet where I use a drop down menu for several of my vendors. When I select the Vendor's name from the drop down menu (for example in A1), I would like A2 to display that vendor's phone number.

Dropdown List For Cell
I inherited the attached spreadsheet and cannot figure out how to change the dropdown control and the tool tips? If you click in either of the top two yellow cells a form control dropdown appears...I can't seem to get to the properties of the dropdown? Also, when clicking in each yellow cell...a tool tip like pop-up appears. Those I cannot find a way to edit either? I can't find any code for any of this...and they all act the same when I disable macros?

Create A Dropdown List From Another Worksheet
I am trying to figure out how to create a drop down list on one page of a workbook with the list of items for the drop down list located on a separate worksheet within the same workbook. I have a workbook with one spreadsheet with a list of items on it (sheet1/ingredients) and the rest of the worksheets would have the drop down list of items from sheet1/ingredients. I have been trying to use the validation method with no luck - I just can't seem to get the source path right. If possible I would also like the drop down list of ingredients to be self updating - the ability to continue to add items to the list and show up in the drop down lists. When the value in the drop down window is selected I would really like / need to have the data populated in the rows to the right of the drop down window. While asking is there any sort of auto complete so that one can start typing in the box and the ingredients that start with those letters show up to select from? (Such as if type EVA or EVAP --- then all words starting with EVA or EVAP appear instead of the entire list?)

Dropdown List From External File
I have created a scorecard which has 4 key drop down lists: - Site, Coach, Team and Agent Coach and Team populate the dropdowns dependant on which site is selected and Agent is based on which team is selected. I have created an external file called dropdowndata.xlsx as the main source. This file has two sheets. Sheet 1 (dropdowndata) is the main Site, Coach and Team data and then Sheet 2 (GLAteam) contains the linking Team and Agent data. The drop down lists are based on a number of named ranges and lookups. So the issue I am having is that the drop down lists only work if I have the dropdowndata.xlsx file open on my laptop. Is there anyway to get this to work without having to actually open the file?

Insert A Dropdown List In Column
On my worksheet I am trying to insert a dropdown list in column B and the options available in this list are dependent on what is selected from another dropdown list in column A. I have another spreadsheet in which I have done exactly the same thing. In this first sheet I use the methodology in column B of through Data Validation allowing a List and setting the Data Validation Source as =INDIRECT(“L”&A2) where L refers to my possible selection of lists for column B (these lists are called L1, L2, L3, L4 etc and have been defined as such). This then generates a list of options in the cell B2 dropdown list dependent on what the text is in A2. This A2 value has also been selected from a list. Now – when I tried to use exactly the same methodology in my new sheet IT DOES NOT work – AARRGGHH !!! When I select a value from the list in column A, then go to the dropdown list in column B there are no options to choose from – it is as if the dropdown filter in column B has become inactive. The selection downwards arrow is there, but when I click on it.

Dropdown List Selection Fills Two Cells
how to create drop down lists which is making a sales forecast template for my small company look pretty jazzy. Of course, now I want more out of it and can't figure it out. I successfully added a drop down list for a sales person to pick a supplier, let's say their selection populates cell E4. Once selected, the next cell over (F4) gives them another drop down list with the products made by that particular supplier. The next cell over (G4) is in a column titled "Unit Cost", how can I make the Unit Cost cell populate automatically when the product selection is made in F4? NOTE: My "lists" are on Sheet 1 along with my working spreadsheet. I have a Suppliers List, Products List (for each supplier), and anticipate I will need a Price List for each Product List, right? Once I finish the spreadsheet can I cut and paste all the data to sheet 2 (I put it 100 rows below my spreadsheet to hide it)?

Formula To Get An Average Based On A Dropdown List
Im creating a spreadsheet at work, which has a drop down box with the options of open and closed in it. I also have a column for length of time of the claim, what i need to do, is now find a way of getting a average length of a claim, but only to see the closed option from the drop down box. for example, row 1 open date - 02/06, closed date - 01/07, dropdown box - closed, life - 29 row 2 open date - 10/06, closed date - n/a, dropdown box - open, life - -39400 as you can see from the example above, i cant simply do a average of the whole column, as would read the open ones as well. so is there a way of doing the formula, but telling it to only see the open, or closed ones?

Custom Data Validation With Dropdown List
I have a data validation in a cell that works like this : if a control cell has the value "F" it validates the input with some dates in a custom list, if not it does nothing. The formula looks like this : =IF(F2="F",datelist,"") It works fine but I also want it to display the drop down list when cell F2 = F, now all i can do is type a value and it checks if it's ok. Can I do this without using vba ? I will send this to other persons and I don't want the macro warning to pop up when they open it.

Hide Combo Boxes (dropdown List)?
I trying to do a sheet with one combo box (dropdown list) where I want the user to be able to choose "add rows" to make more boxes appear. My idea to solve this was to put all the boxes in the sheet, and then create a macro that either hides or shows the rows with the extra boxes. Now I have a problem that hiding the rows just does that, and only that. The rows disappear, but the combo boxes stay visible (but ends up on top of eachother).

Build List In Dropdown From Data Source
I have a workbook with two spreadsheets, one blank and one with a Header row and a list of employee names and random dates that will continue to be added to at the bottom per a copy and paste. What I need is to have a form dropdown on the blank sheet (per a cell reference) that shows employee names and dates that has that name next to it in the data sheet. The employee names are in three columns Last, First, and Middle and the dates are in a separate column (A). I guess I need a VLOOKUP that can take the range and pull into the dropdown the employee name and every date associated with that name.

Dependent Dropdown List With Multiple Sheets
There are other dependent drop-down list posts on this forum, but none of them are talking about working with multiple worksheets. I have three worksheets, one called "Main", one called "Universities", one called "Schools". One the "Main" worksheet, I have two Combo Boxes (the one from the "Form" toolbar). I would like to first pick a university from the combo box and then based on the selection, the second combo box would give me just the schools in that specific univeristy. My guess on how to link the two drop-down list is by the ID column. If I select "University of Washington" which has an ID of "WAS" it would narrow down the second list to ID with "WAS" in it (Which would be "WAS1", "WAS2, etc). The reason I am using Combo Box is because of the "Link Cell" property which give me an output of the number of the selection into a cell. I will use that to get the corresponding ID. I have attached an example to this post.

Dropdown List With User Response Type-in
I know how to create a basic dropdown list, but what I don't know (I don't even know if it is possible to do at all) is how to allow user type-in response if the "Other (please specify)" option is used. Column A Question 1. What type of report are you using? Column B will contain Type I Report Type II Report Other (please specify) If Type I or II is chosen from the list, I don't want user to be able to change anything. But If the Other (please specify) option is selected I would like to give user an ability to type in type of the report he/she is using. Also, is there a way to have list options chosen based on another list response?

VBA - Filter On Next Line In Autofilter Dropdown List
if anyone knows some VBA code to filter on the next line down in an autofilter list. My spreadsheet has a column with the names of people, which can appear multiple times in no particular order. I have a macro that I run several times -- once for each individual in the column. The way that I currently do this is by manually using the autofilter on that column to select a person from the autofilter dropdown list. After I've manually filtered on a person, I click a button which runs the assigned macro. I then manually select the next person in the autofilter list, and click the macro button -- over and over until I've done this for everyone in the autofilter list. I'd like to add some code at the end of my macro so that the macro ends by automatically filtering on the next person (line) in the autofilter list.
