I am trying to filter a list where I can enter a value in a criteria box and it will filter the list just with those entries that meet the criteria entered in the box.
E.G If I have a list containing the name Jones 3 times, and Brown 7 times, I want to type the word Jones in a criteria box and it will sort the list to only show the 3 Jones entries
A stab in the dark here, but is there any way to be able to 'jump' to a particular position within a filtered list. My list has around 20,000 items in it and I'm having to go through each one systematically to make edits on the relevant line and it is so laborious trying to find the correct place in the list every time.
Is there anyway to be able to may be key in the first letter or two letters to avoid all the continuous scrolling to find the relevant entry?
I use drop down lists to speed up data entry. all my lists are on sheet 1 but my actual fields for selection are on sheet 2. I am trying to see if i can make the date fields columns drop down calenders. Sheet 2 is for a special import and i cannot add extra columns that are not a part of my import.. Is there a way to add drop down calenders or dates to sheet 2 without adding extra columns?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am relatively new to Excel. I have figured out how to use named ranges as lists and use INDIRECT Data Validation to have a list's selection made in one cell populate a new list in an adjacent cell.
A1 contains a list of "Characters" (The choices are "Numbers", "Letters", or "Other")
Based on the choice in A1, B1 has to populate with the following:
- A list of available Numbers to chose from (1,2,3..etc)
- A list of available Letters to chose from ( A,B,C...etc)
- Text that instructs the user to enter text into the cell manually
(For example, their "Other" character might be something like "@#$%^&*!". (Not unlike my mental state trying to figure out this problem.) I want them to see the instruction to "ENTER CHARACTERS HERE" and then be able to type in the cell.
So I need B1 to either populate with a menu that is dependent on the menu selection in A1, or allow for free text entry depending on if they chose the "other" option in A1.
I have a workbook that lists a number of customers and the products that they use. I am trying to create a lookup that will follow the following process;
1 - User enters (via dropdown selection) Customer Id
2 - User enters (via filtered dropdown based on the 1st selection) Product
3 - User enters (via filtered dropdown based on the 1st and 2nd selections) Pack Size
4 - Product Id autofills itself.
My problem is twofold, firstly I don't know how to perform the "filters" in stages 2 and 3, and secondly I want to remove duplications from all lists at the appropriate times.
I can view the data how I need to by conditional formatting and pivot tables but HR wants to get rid of all rows that: only have 1 accounting line per document such as Doc MI310712 in attached sample So I only want to display records if there is more than 1 accounting line for each document
My understanding of Excel is that in order to get rid of rows that a VBA macro is needed since there is no function to do it. My VBA is limited but is there a way to specify criteria in a filter to hide the rows using a formula?
I'm wanting to filter a set of data by inputting in to a cell. And it works perfectly...
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If (Intersect(Target, Range("B4")) Is Nothing) _
Then
Exit Sub
End If
Cells.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="=" & Range("B4")
End Sub
The only thing is I now need is for the code to clear the filter if the cell (B4) is blank. It currently filters out all the data if the cell is blank.
Is there a way to make Advance Filter show the most recent (highest row)unique entry instead of the first entry (lowest row)?
For instance if a spread sheet has
1 1
1 2
1 3
2 1
2 2
2 3
3 1
3 2
3 3
I want to keep the "1 3", "2 3", and "3 3" entry, not "1 1", "2 1", and "3 1".
I am looking to modify my combobox from a userform to Filter the list based on the first entry on what the user will add.
I have a code that will search for all entries in my "Control" sheet and passed this on to my combobox:
[Code] ......
I have, within a module, the following function code that the user find the entry by adding the first 3 letters of the search they need:
[Code] .....
I would like to know what to change in the function to filter the list, once the user adds a first letter and then press the dropdown from the combobox, to filter the list based on all entries from the first letter to only show entries with that letter.
If A is entered, then, show only the entries strating with the starting letter A, but at the same time if the user adds more letter to filter to the first then second letter:
If AB is inserted, then, show entries with AB only.
Where do I add this code also, is this another function or this could be inserted within my function?
I have a database in Excel 2013 and now I want that when a value (a person's name) is entered in a cell. That then the database sort of filters the list for me, so it's still possible to make changes in the entries.

Picture above to specify the search, which I would therefore like to edit

How do I go about using an advanced filter to filter a list of data e.g.
boat

car
car

and have the filter extract only the boat entries to another worksheet, so on another worksheet I end up with

Is there a way to make a drop-down list optional? When I create drop-down lists the user has to make a choice from that list.
Example: a list of doctors. I need the user to be able to select from that list if the patient saw one of those physicians, but if the patient saw another doctor not on the list, I need the user to be able to enter the name of that other doctor. Currently the user has to select from the list or not enter a doctor. I am using Excel 2003.
I would like to have a list that when one of the items is chosen, it brings up a second list and so on.
Therefore, list 4 will depend on what was chosen from List 3 which will depend on List 2 which will depend on List 1.
I'm not sure if macro's are required.
I have attached a file that lists out a Decision Tree (Decision Tree Tab).
I also have a Form tab which is where I have the decisions that need to be made.
So, in the Gender Row I can choose Male or Female. If I choose Male, then the Interests list should contain Cars, Sports or Colors.
Type will depend on which I chose and finally, Detail will depend on which Type I chose.
I am working on a project and would like to see if there is a solution for it. i have a workbook that has data entry that is summarized at a master level but I need to automatically use a formula to update another sheet after clicking an udpate button. The data from the data entry sheet needs to be allocated to all the lines that has the same master item based on the formula. A test workbook is attached ...
View 1 Replies View RelatedNow that the calculations are working, with the press of a button, I need to be able to select a range of dates and copy all lines within the range to a seperate sheet with the desired name under the same headings they currently reside under. I have included some modified code that is being used in another spreadsheet that was created for me, but I do not pretent to understand all of it and I no longer work with the creator of the spreadsheet. How do I use a button to open the form for date selections and entering the name of the new sheet, and then use the start button on the form to begin the matching and copying to a new sheet? If there is an easier way I am all for that too.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI want the script to find if the value entered in the form is matching the values in column 'A' in the database and if it matches then it needs to select the cell as active cell - to populate the form details. And if there is no matching value found, the script needs to select the last empty cell of the column 'A' to populate the data entered in the form.
1) Form has 10 different fields that needs to be filled by the user.
2) Field 1 - is a text box for 'Request #' to be entered by the user.
3) After filling in all the fields - once clicked on OK, the form should search for the the 'request #' entered on the form in the database (Form and the database are in the same workbook).
4) If the 'Reqeust #' in the Column 'A' matches the the 'Request #' entered in the form, then the matching cell should be selected (Activecell -Were the data can be overwritten, with the new entry)
5)If there is no matching 'Request #' found in the database, the script should loop to select the next available blank cell in column 'A'. So that the form data can be entered.
1) Imagine i have a row 1 with names, column 1 with bank account numbers, and under each name corresponding to each bank account it says "yes" or "no" depending on whether or not they are authorized on the bank account. How do i make 2 drop down lists, 1 with bank account numbers that produces the names which are authorized on the account and visa versa (list with names showing bank a/c numbers). It needs to be able to be updated easily.
2) Suppose I have the table as described above and another excel file with 1 column as bank a/c's and another column is authorized bank users. In this column however each cell just has a bunch of names for example one cell may contain (james, john, jack, jennifer, bill). Is there anyway to check these names against the ones in the table from the other spread sheet?
I have two lists of serial numbers which I want to compare to find those number which are not in both lists. I have used the following formula: =IF(A2=$G$2:$G$283,"",A2) where A2 equals the first cell in list 1, G2:G283 the range of the second list, true value "" false value display the contents of the original cell.
This works so far; where the contents in the A and G cells are the same on the row eg A2 and G2, but where they are different the contents of the A cell are being returned even if they are elsewhere in the range.
I have a list of data in cells A through C, and also have the same data in G through I.
A:C is 2009 data, G:I is 2008 data.
Some of my data is a line off, what i want to do is match numbers based on A and G and then match up there data.
I need to search a column of numbers in Excel (A) and compare it to another column (B). I need to find all of the numbers that apprear in column A but not in column B. Can this be done?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having a sheet where I keep track of when online surveys have been sent to users. The users enail address (column K) may be on the list for several times, but I need to make sure that there is at least a 7 days pause between sending the first mail and the second, depending on the visit date (column G).If there are less than 7 days between two entries with the same email address, the user is not qualified for taking another survey.
I was thinking to write an IF formula which returns either 1 or 0 and then let conditional formatting highlight and HIDE the row via a VBA loop.
is there a way to lock certain cells to allow data entry but not allow data to be removed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a formula that will allow me to look for the existence of any number value in a row of one worksheet and then return a specific number value in a cell on another worksheet? For example, if the formula finds any number value it will always return the number 15 to a cell on another worksheet.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to map 2 reports to show if they are equal.
One report has 2 columns with name and amount of what was sent to a vendor.
The second report has 2 columns with name and amount of what they received.
The second report name column has account number added so the column won't be exact.
I need to compare the 2 reports to see if the same name and amount was correctly sent/received
Example:
Report 1 (sent)
Column 1-Name Sandra
Column 2-Amount $100
Report 2 (received)
Column 1-Name Sandra/284578
Column 2-Amount $100
I am not sure how to display my findings. I would need to identify what is not matching.
I have a very large spreadsheet that I work with on a daily basis. The main portion of the spreadsheet is broken down into weekly sections (for example, columns GF thru GM contain data sections for one week, which then repeats with the next set of columns, etc.). Below these weekly sections are detail and summary sections for all the data entered above. In the main weekly portion, each week contains a size drop-down list which calls to size information in the detail portion below. Recently, the data validation lists have started disappearing. By disappearing, I mean that the data validation for the cell no longer exists on a large portion of the list cells. I have tried recreating all of the data validations, saving the file, and re-opening it, and when I do, they've disappeared again. I have no idea what to do at this point. The functionality of the spreadsheet is crippled without the sizing drop-down lists (for various lookup reasons).
View 14 Replies View RelatedSee the attached example. I have created a dependent data validation. The list available in B2 is dependent on the item chosen in Cell A2.
What I would like to know is how do I expand this validation down columns A and B. I don't want to have to add the validation in each cell individually!
I'm working on two almost identical lists but because of their nature, some rows are repeated on one of the sheets and so on. I need help matching some cells onto the other sheet. I tried the VLOOKUP formula but it doesn't work since some rows are repeated... I need the match to link especifically a Name with it's correspondent Value, regardless of the position of the name in either of the sheets and whether it is repeated or not.
