I want our sales people to be able to select from the list of products we manufacture and have they corresponding information automatically populate. For example, if the salesperson is trying to put a quote together for 500 lbs. of Stainless Steel nails, they can select the correct size and have the list price, cost, margin (etc...) fill in the adjacent cells automatically.
View 5 RepliesI would like to auto-fill cells based on what I select from a drop down list.
For Example:
Drop Down List is located in A1(already created). Let's say it lists items like bathroom,front of building, dinning room etc.
I have created on sheet 2 a list of responsibilities for each item on the drop list. The list has a header for example bathroom and a below it list the responsibilities. I did this for every item on the drop list.
Now, is it possible to select bathroom from the drop down land when selected the list I created in sheet 2 show up in the cell next to bathroom? Also, is it possible to have this happen every time i select a different item from the drop down list?
I've made a drop down list and when I select multiple cells and choose from the drop down list, it only fills one. Here's pictures:
So in that first picture, I've selected multiple cells. But when I drop down the menu and click my selection, this happens:
Why is it that all the cells I've selected does not fill with the option that I chose from the drop down. I highly doubt that I have to manually click all the ones I want to fill with what I choose from the drop down list.
I've created seven names in my data validation source list on Sheet 3 in the following range of cells, A2-A7. My data drop down validation list is located on Sheet 1, A2 in the same workbook. I would like to trigger a macro based on the name I select in this drop validation drop down list that will fill out an address, telephone number, and email address in the following cells next to my data validation drop down list on Sheet 1: B2, B3, and B4. I want it to be designed so that users will select a name and have that person's corresponding address, telephone number, and email address fill right next to their name on the same sheet.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been writing a speadsheet using drop down lists and the Lookup function to link names to body weights. When using the dropdown list it displays for one name the incorrect weight. All the rest work correctly but one will not. From the list below when I select the name White it displays '68' rather then '80' as it should. If I change the name of White to the number 4, it will act correctly and display the weight '80'. It seems rather bizare.
This is the function that I am using

Here's the skinny: From the front page you select a 'heading' from drop down list
example of data:
Heading 1
data a
data b
data c
Heading 2
data a2
data b2
data c2
The problem i'm having is that the resulting graph only plots the bottom line of data (i.e. 'data c') instead of all 3. Ani ideas why/work arounds?
I have 2 sheets that are used for an inventory that tracks hours on a tool that we use where I work. One sheet allows the user to add items to the inventory along with the current hours on the items. On another sheet, I have several dropdown boxes based on the category of items that are autopopulated with the item's serial numbers through data validation. So far, I'm only able to have the serial numbers fill the dropdown boxes, but I also need to have the hours associated with the individual serial numbers transfer over to this sheet as well in the cell adjacent to the dropdown list.
I assume the pseudocode for this would be for each cell in the dropdown sheet, if it matches a cell in the inventory sheet, grab the cell's value in the hours column and paste it into the adjacent cell on the dropdown sheet, but I'm not sure how to do the actual VBA for it.
I've included my sanitized workbook so you get a better idea of what I need.
I have a drop down (look up list) labeled Equipment that retrieves information from another sheet in my workbook.
I have a second field labeled Equipment Sub Type where I need a drop down list based on the information retrieved in the Equipment Field.
Each item in the Equipment List Drop Down has a corresponding list in my lookup sheet of my workbook.
I have a worksheet (say, Sheet1) that I am going to manually import a large data set into on a weekly basis for reporting purposes. One of the columns from this data dump will have the header "Design Id" in the first row, but it may not be in the same column every time. I am trying to figure out how to create dropdown lists on a separate worksheet (say, Sheet2) in the same workbook where the data source always looks up the column containing the header "Design Id" from Sheet1 and then returns only the unique values from that column as options in the list.

View 6 Replies View RelatedColumn C and D are should be picked from a dropdown list (data is in named range on sheet 3).
The choices that have t become available in a dropdown list in column E (values also in named rnage on sheet 3) should be based on the combination of column C and D.
The choices that have t become available in a dropdown list in column H (values also in named rnage on sheet 3) should be based on the value of column C.
I'm not sure the way it is set up now (as far as it is setup) is the way to go.

I have a drop down list with 6 recipes. When I select chocolate for example I want that to automatically populate different cells in the worksheet based on a standard I have created for that recipe. The recipes won't change they just have different ingredients and I want that to show up depending on what I select on the drop down list. I went into VBA and worked a little with this starting code:
If Target.Address = "$F$3" Then
Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = "1"
but It wouldn't populate separately based on what I had selected in the drop down it would just populate all 6 recipes the same.
I have a column of 343 items in E, and their corresponding prices in Row E. I've created a drop down list in numerous cells in Column A for items, and I need to formulate it so that the adjacent cell in Column B for each individual drop down will call the correct prices from E.

I need to populate a range of cells with names from a list on another sheet based on the contents of another cell.
In the attached example;
on sheet 2 cell E3 has a number in it that corresponds to a number in column D on sheet 1, I want to use that as the reference to fill in cell E4 on sheet 2 with the value in column A on sheet 1, then I need to populate the YELLOW cells on sheet 2 with the names from sheet 1 column C that also match the values in sheet 2 cell E3.
The attached file has an example. I have been trying to use LOOKUP and VLOOKUP but can't get it to work.
Can someone please take a look at this for me?

I am looking to auto generate a roster/schedule. I have a spreadsheet with shifts for each weekday that I need to populate every week with names to pick from a drop down list. the drop down list is made using data validation and looks at a dynamic named range to allow me to select only the people who are available to work a certain shift.
Is there a way to do this using vba?
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)?
In one column I have a drop down list of a dozen different initials with conditional formatting on those cells. I would also like to conditionally format an adjacent text string column based on those initials, but don't want to set up a dozen rules on each cell, one by one. If I set up the top cell with the correct rules I cannot fill the formatting in because the formula is not updated on a row by row basis, but en bloc for the range.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet with a data in range A1:J9. I have a drop down list in each cell from A2:A100.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make a calendar spreadsheet to enable me to track allowance payments i am due from my company.
This payment is worked out by three conditions - where i am working (7 regions), how many days of the week (4,5,6 or7) and how many hours (<7,8-9 or 10-12)
I have made drop down lists to select each of the values for the three conditions and want to show the total for them
i can total the entire spreadheet for the month up using fairly large "COUNTIF" statements, but i want to be able to show what the exact amount is in each cell not just a complete total.
i.e. i am away for 6 days i get £15 extra, if i am in Europe i get another £50 and if i work 12 hours i get £30.
I want to be able to calculate this total in each cell for that day.
I can send a copy of the spreadsheet i have got at the moment if that will make things clearer than what i have tried to explain.
I have a list of Names that has numbers accumulated over months. I am looking for a formula to use in a search tool that uses a drop down list to identify the name I am looking for and then the formula will show me the increase that happened in certain months.

Make a Data Validation dropdown list that also enters a range for cells, for example:
Kitchen ¦ High ¦ Upto 100 ¦ Easy ¦ Blank ¦ 2 ¦ Daily ¦ >6 hrs ¦ Medium ¦ >1 week
Lounge ¦ Low ¦ Large ¦ Easy ¦ Blank ¦ 0 ¦ Daily ¦ >6 hrs ¦ Medium ¦ >1 month
Bedroom ¦ Low ¦ Large 100 ¦ Easy ¦ Blank ¦ 1-3 ¦ Daily ¦ 1-3 ¦ Low ¦ >1 year
Bathroom ¦ High ¦ Upto 100 ¦ Easy ¦ Blank ¦ 0 ¦ Weekly ¦ 1-6 ¦ Low ¦ <1 year
I can make a dropdown list for:
Kitchen
Lounge
Bedroom
Bathroom
But if I select "Kitchen" I would like it to enter the rest of the cells in that row:
Kitchen ¦ High ¦ Upto 100 ¦ Easy ¦ 2 ¦ Daily ¦ >6 hrs ¦ Medium ¦ >1 week
The total number of rows I use is 10, and the number of items in the dropdown list will be 30.
The data in the cells 2 to 10 does not change from that first set to its data menu name.
I am kind of new to Excel programming and would like to know if there is a solution to my problem. What I need is to have a dropdown list (I know how to make this) then select an item from the drop down, then based on the name i select, Excel automatically fill up the rest of the cells.
For example, from the drop down list I select the company name then Excel automatically type the address, phone number, Fax number and the contact name of the company for me in corresponding cells. Is there a way to do this?
I have a workbook that has two worksheets. One worksheet is an input worksheet. A user will select a date from a drop-down list and type in the events that occurred on that date in 8 adjacent cells. The user selects a button that advances date and clears form. On sheet 2, whatever was typed into sheet one is saved via VLOOKUP formula. However, if I try to change something retroactively and select a previous date from the drop-down list, it clears everything in sheet 2 that was typed for any selected day.
View 1 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"!
