Getting Linked Cell From Variable Dropdown

Dec 28, 2012

I'm using the following code to get the linked cell and return the value to a range. Is there anyway I can achieve this WITHOUT selecting the shape to get the linkedcell. I find using 'select' is cause me formatting problems.

VB:

Sub finalizeclrx()
Dim s As Shape, finRNG As Range, pk1 As String, SphFill As Long
SphFill = Worksheets("input").Range("K65536").End(xlUp).Row
Set finRNG = ActiveSheet.Buttons(Application.Caller).TopLeftCell
For Each s In ActiveSheet.Shapes
If Not Intersect(finRNG.Offset(-5, -11).Range("A1:A1"), s.TopLeftCell) Is Nothing Then

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.

Excel 2010 :: Keystroke To Select Variable Name From Dropdown List?

Jan 23, 2013

I've defined a number of variables in my spreadsheet. When I want to use one I type "=variablename" and 'm presented with a list menu.jpg

In the above example, I have several variables starting with the word "Harvard" (a town, not the university :-)

How do I select one of these without having to double click with the mouse.

Up and down arrows allow me to highlight an item but I cannot find a keystroke that allows me to select the highlighted item. Instead I have to lift my hand off the keyboard and use the mouse.

Hide Rows With Variable Text Based On Dropdown Selection

Jun 11, 2014

I have a spreadsheet which contains our fleet information covering many vehicles in one list. The teams for these vehicles are listed in Column A. What I would like to have is:

A dropdown box to pick from All, or the various teams in A1To hide every row that doesn't match the selection of A1To reveal every row that contains the selection for A1 at any point in column A. e.g: "*Dog Team*"

This is because something might be listed as "Moved from Dog Team" or "Dog Team, temporarily on loan", or "Dog Team V66.m"

I have taken a small sample of the data I will be working from and made a very simple drop down box which displays the pages of information for the vehicles by hiding/unhiding blocks of columns:

Code:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$2" Then
If Range("A2") = "MOT/Service" Then
ActiveSheet.Columns("A:P").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
ActiveSheet.Columns("Q:CE").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
ElseIf Range("A2") = "Contact Details" Then

[Code]....

But because there is also filters on the sheet, meaning the positions of the entries based on rows can change, I need it to search for the "*xyzzy*" method, but am unsure how to do this! While just using the Filters will work, due to some human limitations I have been asked to have a specific drop down box in a very specific location with instructions next to it.

Formula To Return Value In A Cell Relative To Another Linked Cell?

May 2, 2014

The problem I am trying to solve is to have a cell return a cell value based on another linked cell. The cells I want to link are in separate tabs or could be another workbook.

For example if cell A5 in sheet2 is linked to A20 in sheet1...A5 has formula(=Sheet1!A20). I want the next cell B5 to look at A5 and return the value of cell Sheet1!D18.

So in essence I want the second cell to look at the first cell and return a value that is 3 columns over and 2 rows up.

Linked Documents Cell Changes

Feb 7, 2014

I have several excel documents all linked to one unique excel document which I will call document A.

Document A is a performance spreadsheet where I have percentages, sales figures and times, for my sales team.

Each sales person has their own unique dashboard (another excel document) that I am currently trying to finalize.

Their personal dashboards have pie charts with text boxes. The text boxes within the charts link up to their relevant cells in document A.

When Document A is open and I open 1 of the sales person's dashboards. Everything looks good and works, however.

When I close document A the dashboard information changes. For example, the dashboard information could be showing 25% but when I close document A it reverts to 0.25

If I close down the dashboard and open document A back up, change it to 30% then close it. The dashboard recognizes the change BUT reads as 0.30. This is the same with them all.

The only fix I have figured out is creating another tab in Document A then duplicate of all the information required for the dashboards then save the cells as TEXT (as opposed to currency, percentage etc).

This kind of defeats the object because I have formulas set up in Document A and don't want to be doing twice the work.

ComboBox With Two Linked Cell

Jul 2, 2009

I have to fill out two cells (lets say A10 and A11), with the same data taken from a list of given data. The given data is placed in one column.

I have created Combo Box where the ListFillRange is the given data area and in the LinkedCell I tried to write two cells but Excel doesn’t accept list of two cells.
For example, I tried to write in the LinkedCell A10,A11 and A10:A11 and A10;A11 but none of this syntax worked.

I can’t write A10 only in the LinkedCell and then to write a function A11=A10 in cell A11, because in some cases the content of cell A11 will be changed by another Combo Box linked to cell A11 and that Combo Box will override any function that will be written in A11.

I have several cells in my spreadsheet A which are linked to cells in another spreadsheet B in the same workbook. My problem is that the cells in spreadsheet A only display the link formula in the cell and not the value of the cell in spreadsheet B which it is linked.

Changing Linked Cell Row Reference?

Nov 14, 2009

I have a master summary sheet that contains all the required information for 21 other worksheets. Each row contains the information for a single sheet. I have linked all the relative cells to the first sheet but would like create a formula that changes the row reference in each of the links rather than the tedious task of updating each individual link in every sheet.

I have tried using the indirect function but constantly get errors returned, the basic formula i have been using is: =INDIRECT("Summary"!C&,X1)

'C' is the column in the summary sheet that the information should be taken and 'X1' is the cell in the worksheet that will define what row the data should be taken e.g in one sheet the reference for that specific cell will be C5 and the next C6 and so on.

CommandButton Linked To Locked Cell

Oct 20, 2006

I have created a simple excel document with

Sub randomnumbers()
Range("B1").Formula = "=randbetween(1,100)"
Range("B1").Value = Range("B1").Value
End Sub

There is a button that i click and it creates a random number to cell 'B1'. it works fine, but i need to lock the document so that the user can only access one cell... 'A1' when i lock the document, and i click the button, it gives me a '400' error. i think it is because the button points to a locked cell.

Click-able Linked Cell To Another File

Feb 5, 2008

I have attached an example spreadsheet to describe what I am working with. I was wondering if there is an easy way to have it so that everything in Column A is hyper linked to the ship bill file. This list can exceed over 1000 and to hyper link each line is too much, is there an automatic way to do this? For example. I would like the value '00001 in cell A2, to be hyper linked to the file "Shipping Bill - 00001" So that I can just click on the link and open up the file. The shipping bill files are in the same folder as the example spreadsheet.

How To Stop Linked Cell Destination From Changing

Oct 30, 2013

This is the current layout I have:

Sheet 1: A1:B20, is linked to Sheet 2: A1:B20.

I need to copy and paste data from the internet into Sheet 2, but it's not in the correct order, so I must swap column A and column B in Sheet 2 only. The problem with this is that when I swap them, the linked cells swap as well, which destroys my data on Sheet 1 columns C-Z.

Is there a way that I can keep the cells on Sheet 1 completely static, so that it only reads the data I put into the corresponding cell on Sheet 2?

Or maybe, is there a way I can just swap the cell information in Sheet 2 without messing around with the formatting? Just a complete swap of A1>B1 and B1>A1?

ActiveX Combobox With Dynamic Linked Cell?

Feb 4, 2012

I have a golf teetime reservation spreadsheet. For each tee time there can be up to four players names so I use 4 columns. Times are listed in rows every 10 minutes beginning 6am until 5pm for a total of 66 rows per day. I have a member/customer list that I have on a separate sheet that I've named. I am using the ActiveX combo box next to each possible entry (so 4 columns times 66 rows = 264 combo boxes). It's a little slow and takes a long time to open. I like the ActiveX combo box because it allows me to define the box format and display and it allows search/read/write capability. The idea is the customer calls, I ask what time they want and we arrive upon an available time. I ask for a last name, I click the combo box, type the first letter of the first name and then scroll if necessary to the name and click it to add the name to the time/player cell. If no name in my list we simply type it in and I'll capture it next time I refresh my customer list.

way to dynamically define the linkedcell in the properties so that instead of 264 combo boxes, I might have one combo box that I can click on and then direct my selection to the cell I want it to go into.

Auto Copy In To Cell On A Linked Sheet

Feb 2, 2010

I am wondering if there is a formula/macro/VBA that will find the last date entered in a column and fill that date in to a cell on a linked sheet.

example:

sheet ONE has columns C through S. (each customer has its own sheet)
On this sheet, in column H the date of the last payment made is entered. This date of course changes as payments are made, so the row would change as well.

sheet TWO has columns C through O. (all customers on this one sheet)
The rows on this sheet remain the same for each individual customer.
I would like the last date entered on sheet ONE column H to be auto copied to sheet TWO column O.

Is there a way to have the last date entered on sheet ONE auto copy to Sheet TWO?

Allow Drop-down Box Selection Linked To Locked Cell

Nov 30, 2007

We have Microsoft Excel 2000 and i have locked all worksheets separately. I have enabled Data Validation on a range of cells and enabled a list box. The way the workbook works is you log in with a name, the cell range references the names in each cell to another cell which was your login name. Those that match, after clicking a button will unlock those specified cells.

Then users can use the data validation listbox function to select only their name from the cell that was linked to the log in name box. (the users name that logged in only shows in the list). The problem is, all cells by default are locked in the range with the names in. You cannot delete the values in any other way, unless you unlock the cells. (at least thats what is supposed to happen)

My question is:

Is there any code anybody knows that i can use to make excel copy what excel 2003 does, im sure that the problem is a fault with excel 2000 and microsoft fixed it when they released excel 2003.
