How To Return Corresponding Values Based On Drop-down List
Jun 3, 2014
I have created a drop down list of various material sizes what I am needing to do is to select a material size from the drop down list and a corresponding value is input into the cell. So on say sheet two (Data Sheet) I have Cell A1 25x25 with Cell B1 100, Cell A2 30x30 with Cell B2 120 and so on. On sheet 1 Cell A1 has my drop down list being the material size ie 25x25, so what I need to happen is if I select 25x25 then Cell B1 is 100 or if I select 30x30 then cell B1 is 120.
I'm trying to create a drop down list which returns values based on what has been selected in the previous drop down list in the adjacent cell, e.g. if 'Apples' is selected in the previous cell then you should only be able to select from 'Gala, Granny Smith', or if 'Oranges' is selected you should only be able to select 'Seville, Blood Orange'. Is there a formula which would do this, or can I use a pivot table somehow? I'm totally stumped.
I am trying to create individualized worksheets based off a master worksheet. I have different committee names that I want to appear on the individualized sheets, based on whether the person is apart of that committee or not. On my master sheet, I choose the persons name under the committee and I want that committee name to show on the individualized sheet. For example, I want A1 on Master to show on Name 1, B3 and A10 on Master to show on Name 1, C3. Can I write a formula to achieve this or or am I asking too much? In my actual file, I will have about 10 names and 5 committees with one person being on up to all 5 of the committees.
Ok what I am trying to do is lookup a value in a table (kinda like one below but alot bigger). What I plan on doing is creating a drop down list for the rows that show "A, B, C etc) and then another drop down for (AA, BB, CC etc).
So lets say the 2 drop-down list are set to C and BB I want to be able to fill another cell with the value -134
I would use If statements but like I said the table would be alot bigger than example. If possible I would rather not use VBA due to work security settings.
a b c AA-110-110-129 BB-115-115-134 CC-117-133-136
I need to have a drop down list which displays a different set of values depending upon the value selected by a previous drop down list. ie. (drop down box 1)= x, y, z. (drop down box 2)= either x1, x2, x3, or y1, y2, y3, or z1, z2, z3. I can produce a single drop down box thats not a problem but linking several drop down boxes is beyond me .
I have a drop down box in column N, however I would like the options in that drop down box to change depending on what appears in column M.
If column M Says "Lapse" then I want one drop down box to appear in column N, If coumn M says "NTU" then I would like column N to show different drop down options.
I'm making a spreadsheet where I want the user to select an item in A1 from a List made using Data Validation. When the person makes the selection in A1 I want the next 5 columns to automatically display specific attributes that belong to A1. However, I'd like the user to then be able to change each of these items (in B1-F1) from their own individual Validation Lists. I'm using this to mix and match mythical monsters. So in A1 I have well known monsters like Jaws, Godzilla and the Lochness Monster. When you select one of these creatures, that creature's specific attributes show up in the next 5 columns -- things like Appearance, Motive, MO, Hideout, and Special Features. I then want to be able to change Appearance, Motive, MO, Hideout, and Special Features individually from their own Validation List. I basically just want to mix and match between the various creatures.
I've gotten it only partially working by doing the following: At the bottom of the page (for simplicity, I have everything in 1 sheet but I intend to move the "data" table for the Lists to their own sheet) I have a table where in the row for each creature I have the different attributes. A1 (my "creature name") was made using Data Validation from the A column. For the next column I made a Data Validation List for the items. Once that pulldown was made, I then went to the B1 cell and used VLOOKUP to autofill the cell when the person makes their "A1" selection. I repeated this for cells C1-F1. This works ok the first time you make a selection. But whenever you change the "default" value for B2 using the validation drop down list, the Vlookup formula is replaced by the actual text value. This results in the cell not changing when the person next changes the A1 value.
I am trying to create an if function that returns a drop down list (which i have already created in another cell) to the cell if a certain condition is met. When i try, the if function only returns the option that has been selected in the drop down lists cell, instead of the entire drop down list. Is there a way to get the If function to return a working drop down box?
I am trying to create a quotation spreadsheet and want the drop down list to contain the materials but once a selection is made in the drop down list, i want other cells to be accordingly populated with data stored on another worksheet within the workbook.
The source of the drop down list is material and i need other cells to be populated with the adjacent data.
Here is a small list i have at present, which will be much larger when completed.
MATERIAL 20mm 30mm Absolute Black £62.15£83.30 Absolute Black Premium£71.65£96.10 African Red £58.20£78.00
So if the selection in the drop down list is African Red then it should accordingly populate other cells with the values £58.20 and £78.00. Please help as i have tried many sources elsewhere but without any luck and this would be very benficial.
I have zero understanding of how to do VB. I am trying to create a risk assessment template where I have a ton of questions to which I want a column E impact drop-down selection of N/A, High, Medium, Low; a column F probability rating of the same. This SHOULD a result in the subsequent two columns result based on those selections.
For example, Column E selected as High and Column F selected as High should make Column G automatically display High and, ultimately, column H to display 100.
Here is where I am at for trying to get Column G's result though all I seem to be getting is a FALSE response to each state instead of the intended result.
I am trying to generate a list based on the value of a cell. That list will then be used as the range for a drop-down list. Example: Cell A1 returns a value of 15 A drop-down list displays the values 1 through 15. Cell A1 changes to 20 Drop-down list displays the values 1 through 20. I assume I'll need a two-step macro to accomplish this but I can't figure out the logic to populate the drop-down.
My Main data in my workbook is copied from another workbook. From there it is sorted into separate worksheets for each customer via a macro. I want to be able to set something up so that I can list the customers and then list job descriptions, products and pricing from the correct sheet and return the selected data back to its original form in sheet1.
I am also trying to run the macro that sorts the data in this workbook from another workbook.
I have attached the file so you can see what i am trying to explain.
I have a worksheet containing a list of states in column A and a list of companies in column B (along additional data in columns C-L). I want create a lookup formula on a separate worksheet where users can select the state from a dropdown menu and it will return the information from columns B-L for that state.
For example:
A B C D Alabama ABC Company Active Expires December 2009 Alabama 123 Company Expired Expired April 2008 Alabama XYZ Company Active Expires August 2009 Alabama Larry Company Expired Expired May 2006
How can I do this without losing my mind? I've tried various Index, Small and Match formulas and none of them work.
I am trying to figure out how to build a drop-down menu with VBA that has 2 built in choices, 'call' or 'put', and based on the selection in the drop-down list (call or put), the value in the cell directly to its left will be 1 (if 'call' is selected) or 2 (if 'put' is selected).
I have tried doing this with the data validation tool, but the problem I have run into is that I do not want to store the items in the drop-down list (call or put) anywhere in the excel sheet.
I have a sheet with a drop down list. When a user selects a value from the drop down list the sheets field's are populated. I would like to make a macro that iterates through all of the values in the drop down list and for each time it does this print the sheet. So will have the full sheet printed for each value in the drop down.
i had a list based on dynamic formula.When ever i update(Add or Delete) New items to my List the drop down list should also be updated and sorted in Alphabetical order(Ascending :Words Starting with A - Z). How do i remove the blanks in the drop down list whenever i delete the data in the Source Data.
I want to automatically set default values in a row dependant on the value chosen in a list. Some of the default values need to be lists where the user can chose to update to a non-default value.
I have tried using a double drop down list. However if the default list value is changed then the dependant list value is changed, the default list is not automatically updated.
I have a drop-down box(K6) When a style is selected I need to have data show up in other drop-down boxes (H3,L3,P3) These selections would only pertain to the selection in K6. They would change when a different style is selected. There are multiple choices in the secondary drop-downs. [IMG][/IMG]
What I need to do is create a Drop Down box. When a user makes their selection it gives another drop down box from what they selected. Each choice in the 1st drop down will give a different drop down box in the next field from what they selected in the 1st. I am having troubles getting this to work.
I have ranges that are named Math, Reading, Science. I would like to create a drop down list in validation that chooses the range based on a value in a particular cell.
which has a drop down list for all possible reports beginning with "Jan".
There's also a "Totals" sheet which has the corresponding information for each report totaled in separate columns.
Jan, for instance is totaled in column B. Feb, is totaled in column C. And so on.
What I'd like to be able to do, is, depending on the report selected, to have the information in the corresponding cells in the "CSBG Reports" Sheet pulled from the appropriate column in the "Totals" Sheet.
So far, I'm not wrapping my mind around a way to do this.
I have a dropdown list in my spreadsheet, on the list is Compound, Pay by Check, Internal Transfer, and ACH. I would like a message box to pop up with a message when anything except Compound is selected. The cell is d38.
I am trying to make a drop down list based on the result of a vlookup.
What i want to do is look into a table that has country name, depot station, but i have more than one depot per country so when i look up with vlookup i only get one result back, the table looks like this.
Country Country nameDepot code Depot name 1 GBUnited Kingdom STN Stansted 2 GBUnited Kingdom EDI Edinburgh 3 GB United Kingdom EMA East midlands 4 FR France GNO Garanoa 5 FR France MRS Marseille
How can i look up GB or United Kingdom and get all the depots listed from that country.
Can the information in say cell b:1 be based on the information in A:1? Example: If A:1 has the name Fred Smith then I want cell B:1 to say Nurse. Column A will have a drop down list of names and column B will have a list of Nurse, EMT or Paramedic. When someone pick a name from the list the information in column B will automatically be filled in based on the information in column A.
Just wondering if a drop down list can be specific to a selection made in a previous cell. For example in column A the user would select either:
Weekly Monthly Other
Then in column B, the drop down list would be conditional upon what was selected in A. So if the user selected 'Weekly' - the drop down list in B would be: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. Or if the user selected 'Monthly' in column A's list, the list in column B would be: 1, 2, 3, ......31.
I'm trying to find a macro that will allow me to enable several drop down lists in the same cell based on the content of another cell. In other words:
If cell A1 is the data entry cell, and the user enters "cat" Then cell B1 will display a drop down list of previously grouped options: "mouse, bug, bird"
If in cell A1 the user enters "dog" Then cell B1 will display a different list of previously grouped options: "mole, rabbit, kibble"
My problem is i need to create a drop down box in excell, now i have a list of names,
Name 1 Name 2 Name 3 Name 4..........
I need all thos enames in a drop down list but i think i keep doing things wrong, I am doing it like this, All names are in cells A23-A33, i have highlighted them and named them (Names) using the name box in the top left corner, i have then gone to Data, Validation, List, Then i have sourced it to "Names" and clicked ok, this is where my problem is. It Makes all the boxes for Name 1 - Name 10 Drop Down Boxes... And when i click on any of them it gives me a list of all the names, when i click on one of the Names that name appears in the drop down box but the original Name dissapears from the box completely!
