I am looping through columns in a sheet. When I reach a column is there any way of determining if the column has dropdown list of values? I was expecting something like "HasDropDown" property somewhere, but it does not appear so. Some of my columns have dropdown values others don't and I need to determine which ones have.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way using a macro to determine which cells have a dropdown list and then retrieve the name?

View 5 Replies View RelatedOn 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.
I want to make my combobox will view 2 column of list and in the textbox will view "criteria" of sellected item.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a spread sheet that has three sheets, PROJECTS - TIMES - LISTS Time sheet.xlsx PROJECTS contains a list of 'In Progress' and 'completed' projects for work, with relevant other data, I.e. PROJECT No. / STATUS etc This will grow to 1,000's of rows TIMES will contain the amount of time a person spends on a PROJECT on a daily basis. This will grow to 10,000's of rows LISTS contain basic validation list for the first 2 sheets.
Part A
I would like to have a validation drop down list for the PROJECT NO column in the TIMES sheet that only lists the PROJECT NO from the PROJECTS sheet where STATUS <> COMPLETED. I.e. I only want to display the PROJECT NO's for current projects.
Part B
Even though I only want the PROJECT NO used, can the drop down list also contain other column's data for reference information only before one is selected.
I am trying to make an excel sheet which has a 2 column drop down. 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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have in column A and B. A includes two (or may be more) kind of items, i.e. drink and snack. Column B has for example water next to drink and chips next to snack. The list is huge.
How can I generate a drop down list with data which uses the A column to identify the items which it should include. I want to make two separate drop down lists for drink and snack and each should include only those options which belong to those categories. I.e. drink list should be like water, cola, pepsi, etc. The problem is that the list is huge and it's not possible to sort it. Some kind of if statement structure with named range? The drop down should be dynamic in a sense that if I add line to data, it should be picked to the right drop down menu.
im looking to have a drop down list on sheet2 that displays unique items in column A on sheet 1.
then when an item is selected from the drop down list, i want to be able to display all unique values that correspond to that option. i have attached an example worksheet
data on sheet1 is ever changing
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 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a spreadsheet that can be used to easily build a collective list of steps, for a user to read and follow line-by-line.
I want a source sheet of "steps" that I can change over time, and the resulting tabs that reference the source sheet get updated/populated automatically.
I've pieced together some VBA code from other sources, which kind of does what I want it to:
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row > 1 And Target.Column = 1 Then
Dim SourceSheet As Worksheet
Set SourceSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Steps")
Dim TargetSheet As Worksheet
Set TargetSheet = Target.Worksheet
Dim c As Integer
Dim Source As Range
[Code]...
But there are some problems:
1) The data auto-populates into a row. It would read better if each step was in the same column, meaning rows would need to be automatically added upon selecting something from the drop-down list. The number of rows that need to be added vary based on the number of steps in the source sheet, for the selection made from the drop-down list.
2) If you make a change to the source sheet, my goal is to have the other sheets referencing the source sheet's lists of steps update automatically, so you only need to update the steps in one spot and everything you've built from them gets updated instantly. Currently, you must select a different choice from the drop-down list, and then change it back, before it populates the "new" steps from the source sheet.
This is my first time using VBA.
What I have so far is attached: testAutoPopulate.xlsm
I have a dropdown list in C24:C50 (=CategoryList) with data validation and a sub list in D24:D50 (=ItemList) with data validation. I am looking for a way to have code automatically run after selecting an item in the data validation dropdown list in column C.
Example; I click on C24 and make a selection. I what it to trigger code that would move me to D24 and open up the data validation list in D24. After the selection in D24 I would like it to move me back and down 1 row to C25. I have not found anything directly related to this but I have found that code can be run after a selection in a valadition list.
I would like to determine if the VisibleDrowndown is TRUE in the attached table.
The current macro sets it to FALSE in field 1. However, I want to identify when it is TRUE so I can run this macro.

I have 2 sets of data in my excel spreadsheet.
Column A has a bunch of numbers and some duplicates
Column B has the same numbers but lots more and no duplicates
Column C describes what column B number does
All I want is for my formula to return the value in C when A#=b#:b#. The if statement, that I can't figure out how to get it to work right is this. =IF(A2=B2:B1021,C2:C1021)
This is fine if the 1st value is true (meaning a2=b2), the problem is the IF statement returns the 1st value in the array(I think) which in this case is false. An example of the array is below, the result of my formula is always false unless i change B2 to equal A2.

I'm creating a spreadsheet to keep track of my costs of production in an online game. Within the game there are a range of spawned resources that appear for only a short time before being unobtainable these resources have specific types that is shared between multiple spawns of the resource but each resource spawn has a unique name.
My first worksheet lists all the resources and their various qualities and the later worksheets are meant to allow me to choose from a list resources matching the requirements of the item I'm looking to craft. The example i have shown in the second picture requires Tatooinian Fiberplast and Lokian Wild Wheat to craft so in the Chosen Resource column I would like to have a drop down list allowing me to select the named resource type i would like to use - for Tatooinian Fiberplast the only thing on the list should be Omnitwixi and for the Wild Wheat it should show Fizi and Krad

However the code does not work for conditional formatted cells...which is what I need. This is the code that I have that will carry over regular formatted cells. Just not Conditional formatted cells.

I have 3 related dropdown lists that work perfectly, if you enter data from left to right. But, if you click in the cell containing the second list, which is based on the first list, of which nothing has been selected, you can just type any value in the cell. Is there a way to prevent this, or at least validate that what is entered is a value in the list.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIm trying to organize a tools inventory list. Its supposed to be sort of like an order sheet for each department.

View 8 Replies View RelatedEasy way to find the drop down list , if more than 500 list. at least the very first letter of the text.
View 1 Replies View RelatedRight now in my code I'm using the below section to determine the column in which to search for dupes, and the last column of data for that range. However, I make the user select only part or one column through IF statements above, so there's no need for the user to input this information. I'd like to replace the choice part with and automated routine that determines the DupeCol from the column section selected, and determines the rowend from the last used cell to the right in the rows in that column selection. But I don't know how to do that and keep the values as strings.
VB:
Dim RowEnd As String, DupeCol As String
Dim LastRow As Long
DupeCol = InputBox("Type in the letter of the column you want to look for duplicates in.", "Fill in the Info")
RowEnd = InputBox("Type in the letter of the last column you want colored.", "Fill in the Info")
Trying to do a simple workbook here, with hopefully no macros/VB script.
Essentially, I want a cell to display the row number (-1 to take into account the heading) which has the last value contained in it.
The workbook is a list of users that have signed up in 1 month, and is distributed to staff for a particular reason.
The cell I'm trying to create is part of a 'stats' section.
I would like to determine using VBA which Column or Range-of-Columns have a filter applied.
I need to change filters, depending what part of the sheet the user is looking at.
Not sue why, but in my IE browser, I cannot Paste code anymore .
Code:
Is there any way to determine whether a column is sorted? Like a property of a column like ".ascending" true or false?
