View 4 Replies View RelatedI have cells containing large drop down lists (offering many possible entries). Is it possible to get excel to "jump" in the list or complete the entry automatically? If i start typing "aut", it should the drop down entry "automation". For your information, I just use Define Name and Data Validation to create the drop down list. Is it must be using VBA code or I just can use Define Name and Data Validation which has been I created?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using Excel 2007 and am trying to set up 3 columns of drop-down lists each dependent on the choice selected in the previous column's selection. It seems like it would be easy to figure out but I can't seem to do it.
I've already set up the arrays for the lists and "named" them but can't get the cell to be formatted automatically according to the previous columns selection.
I need to insert a drop down box into my spreadsheet, and depending on the option selected, the formula used to calculate the value into another cell changes. How do I implement this in Excel 2007?
To put this in context, I need a list of acids in cell C3. Depending on the acid selected, the formula used to calculate acid concentration in another cell (D3) changes. I need a way to implement this.
I select the date from drop down calendar in excel and linked with one cell. when i use the date in vlookup formula it does not work due to linked cell date format.

For example I want to have a drop down list in column 1 and when I select "Item A" in column 2 "item A" 's phone number appears. If i select "item B" form the drop down this, "Item B's" phone number would also appear in column 2 and so on. how this is done (if possible) on Excel 2007? I was hoping it could be done from one workbook to another but If it is easier from one worksheet to another then that is fine too.

My drop downs are simple yes/no/NA witht a down arrow apprearing to the right. Works fine for all users except one troublemaker who for some reason sees the text and arrow as a mirrored, upside down image. It's not rotated to be upside down, it's mirrored so if you turned your monitor upside down you'd see the letters in the words backwards as if looking in a mirror. We're both on Excel 2007.

When I select a unity type in column C, I'd like it to automatically populate column E in the same row with the value associated with that unit. The values associated with a particular unit can be found to the right of the sheet. So if in row 2 I select Blake in column B, then Unit 5 in column C, I'd like column E to be populated with 14.
Edit: using Excel 2007.
I attached stripped down version of the sheet which is small enough to post. None of the things I removed should affect the topic at hand. The full sheet is available at rapidshare.
I am having trouble delete a drop down list inspite of selecting clear all from the data validation tab in excel 2007. When I hit Alt + Down Arrow, I still see picklist options. I didnt set up the spreadsheet, hence I am not sure how to begin troubleshooting.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to do a drop down list that allow user to select pre-defined selections but everytime when a selection is chosen, the list reduced?
Example,
I have can choose Apple, Orange, Durian and Mango.
The drop down can only select these 4 fruits.
So there are 4 cells in Column A1, A2, A3, A4.
A1 selects Mango and then A2 will only have 3 options to choose. So until the last cell, he can only choose the last fruit left.
A1, A2, A3, A4 are not selecting in descending order thus it could be A3 selecting first, then A2 and then A4.

I have six colums (Date; Skill; ST Hrs; OT hrs: Area; Type). I copied and pasted below a small portion of info from the spreadsheet. I know when I copy and paste into a post the information under the headers don't line up exactly...it appears offset, so basically "Date" is of course the date you see..."Skill"'s columns has the first item as nb-mech b..."ST Hrs" first item will be 0.00..."OT Hrs" will be 1.50...."Area"'s first item is "Log FM NO"....and "Type"'s first item is MX07
And there are 17,000 rows of this info and forever growing...a lot of repeated items in each column such as you can see "blaster" has multiple entries on 4/1/2012.
What I am attempting to do which I have not firgured out yet (i have tried array formulas but they bog down the pc forver and couldn't figure out exactly how to make it give me the results I needed...and I also tried sumproducts but that didnt get me what I wanted....and it is being requested of me to NOT make a pivot table but a chart.
What I am trying to create is is the following:
1 - cells to plug in a date range for example cell A1 I plug 4/1/2012 and cell A2 plug 4/30/2012
2 - drop down boxes for columns Skill; Area: Type, which show only unique records in each column
Once I have that, I could then filter all 3 itmes and have only items show in the date ranges I picked and present ONLY the SUMS of columns ST Hrs and OT hrs.
Once the SUMS show up, I can then have cells off to the side that will give a percent break down of what percent of the total hours (for the chose criteria) are ST Hrs and what percent of the total are OT Hrs....and this percentage break down will show up in a Bar Chart, per day chosen in my date ranges....I'm thinking one simple stacked bar per day in the chart.
So say, based on the info below, I wanted to see the total ST Hrs and OT Hrs from 4-1-12 to 4-2-12 for a nb-blaster in LOG FM NO and type MX06.....my result would be 0.00 ST Hrs...23 OT Hrs.....and my bar chart would be one simple bar peaked out at 23 on day 4-1-12.....and within the bar it would be 0.00% ST Hrs and 100% OT Hrs and maybe the total hours for each showing also..don't need that but it may be useful.. ..and no bar for 4-2-12 (because the criteria picked had no hours for 4-2-12)
I have been messign witht is all week and just can't nail it.. I do remember a while ago I would have been able to load the spreadsheet into the post and people could see it in excel...is that option to do that no longer on this site?

I am using a ComboBox in Excel 2007 in a UserForm. It is drawing on a row source which populates empty cells duplicates. How do I get the drop down box results to only show unique values and nonblank entries?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am looking to write a code to lock/unlock cells based on values selected using a drop down list (see attached Excel) For example if Netherlands is chosen as the Country (Column A), then except for the columns Amsterdam (column B) and Eindhoven (column C), all other columns must be locked. Similarly, if India is chosen as the country from the drop down list, then only the columns New Delhi and Mumbai must be editable for the user, the rest of the columns remain locked.
I tried tweaking some of the lock/unlock codes around, but got lost especially with getting to run the macro - still trying to come to terms with running a "Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange" function in the sheet from "Module"!
I have some excel sheets that are formatted like the following:
COMPANY | TOTAL | RGB
company1 | 10 | 255,000,000
company2 | 20 | 000,255,000
company3 | 30 | 000,000,255
...
My question is that I would like to have a macro that runs on this basic file and creates a bar graph with the data. Then it utilizes the RGB values in the column to change the specific bar for that row.
I've an excel sheet...where I want to color the cells on the basis of following condition:
If Cell E is non-empty then cell A, Cell B, Cell C, Cell D, Cell F, Cell G, Cell H and Cell I can not be empty. If any one of the cell is found empty then color the respective cell in red!!If collectively all the cells Cell A, Cell B, Cell C, Cell D, Cell F, Cell G, Cell H and Cell I contains a value and Cell E is empty then highlight the Cell E in red color.
I want to implement this in module section...
I had this question earlier and I dont know if it just isnt a regularly answered section so I though i would ask it here.....better yet I will just link to the other page so you can see whats up. Hopefully i will get a few more hits on it in this thread.

I'm not using macro's just formulas.
Is it possible to create UDF for Interior color of cell?
For instance, =Color(A1;3)
3 is the index of red color.
Is it possible to set a formula or something up so that if a row contains certain information, then the row will turn a certain color? For instance, if cell B2 contain the number "3" and cell B5 contains the number "5", then row B will turn yellow. Then if cell C2 contains the number "4" and cell C5 contains the number "7", row C will turn blue. This is just an example. In this example, I'd like a formula all the way down column's 2 and 5, but only the rows would change color (not columns) according to their information.

I need to coloring percentage values in excel 2000. What I would like to do is have percentages greater than zero shown in green, while negative values are red, and zero values are black. I currently have the custom formatting so negative values are red and all others are black, but I cant' seem to find a way to change it so greater than zero numbers are green and zeros are black. All I can do is chang positive and zero at the same time. Here is what I currently have:

View 5 Replies View RelatedWith a range of cells (a1:ao41) I want to color several cells depending on the value of that particular cell and another color when that particular and a corresponding cell have both the same value. It's some sort of sociogram The first row and column both contains names of students. Let say the students have to choose the three most populair ones to work with and the three most unpopulair ones. Positive ones get the color blue, negative ones get the color yellow. That's easy to do with conditional formatting. But now comes the tricky part. If for instance Student 3 chooses Student 7 and Student 7 chooses Student 3 the color of both cells have to be green if both positive and red if both negative. That's also do-able with conditional formatting, but it most be much easier to do with VBA. I just don't know how .

if the time is equal to 01:00 then they turn white.
I have this code that colors the lines in my Line Chart
Sub ColorLines()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set chrt = ActiveChart
'Here you want to put your own graph
vals = chrt.SeriesCollection(1).Values
'These are the values to determine later whether the line moves up or down. In this example, I just colored 1 seriescollection (= one line in your line graph), with an extra loop you'd do all lines.
It is very simple: When the lines goes up they turn black. When they go down they turn red.
The code work, but only if all cell in the series is filled. If one cells is blank the code error. I'm using #NA() in all cells that are blank, so the chart skip that cell and continue from the next cell's value.
