LOOKUP- Validation To Set For The Next List

Oct 27, 2007

OK trying to do a few things a once here.

First Validation list is D4:D9 @ Z10

I want this first validation to set for the next list, so if IRS was selected then the next validation will only look at Suite#1 or Suite# 2(C16:C17)

The third list I want auto created from the second list.
Example Suite# 1 picked from second list, so the third auto generated list would output Siemens(B16)....

Validation List To Depend On Another Validation List

Sep 9, 2006

I'm not sure if its possible to do what I want. I'm trying to do it without VBA as my users might have a high macro security setting.

I have a validation dropdown in A2 where they pick 'yes' or 'no' for FLSA. I would like B2 to be a dropdown (validation, listbox, whatever) that would change based upon A2. If A2 is 'yes' I want to use the data in A5:B7 and if its 'no' use A10:B12. Ultimately I want B2 to equal one of the numbers from A5 - A7 or A10 - A12. However when they click on the drop down they see the combo of column A and columb B as column A has no meaning for the user.

Apr 27, 2009

I want to be able to lookup if anywhere in a cell contains a word from a list of words, and then provides an output.

Column G:
VAT payment
HMRC payment
Pay VAT

I have a table on the side that shows:
Column Y Column Z
VATHMRC
HMRC HMRC

ie. If anything in column G matches one of the words in Column Y, then output the Column Z. I have use a Vlookup that works for the first two, as VAT is the first thing, but dont know how to make it work if the key word is in the middle of the cell.

Named List: Data Validation To Restrict The User To Only Selecting Values In A List

Jun 15, 2007

I'm trying to use data validation to restrict the user to only selecting values in a list which I create. Right now, the list is a named range. I'd like to get rid of the range and just use a named list. I create a name using the following as my list.

Insert > Name > Create
Name: Fruit

Refers to:
banana,apple,orange

When I try to use the name Fruit in my data validation, I get the message "The List Source must be a delimited list, or a reference to single row or column." I thought my name "fruit" was a delimited list.

Created Validation Drop-down List - Can I Make The Row Now Change To The Colour That Relates To The Selection From The List

Jan 13, 2009

I am trying to create a fairly simple spreadsheet with about 8 columns and about 400 rows. One of the columns features a drop-down list with about 8 or 9 different options. Dependant on which option is selected, i would like the entire row to change colour with that option.

For example:
FAILED - whole row changes red
SUCCESSFUL - row has no fill
Tested - row changes to orange

etc.

Is this possible within Excel 2003?

Excel 2007 :: Data Validation List Depend On Another DV List

Apr 29, 2012

I have a List of Different Fruits in Cells A1 to A5

Apple
Banana
Orange
Strawberry
Cherry

And I use data validation list in 5 different cells from Cells C1 to C5 then in every cell the list will show all the fruits,

But I want that if I select Any Fruit in cell C1 that should not be included in the remaining 4 cells, and the fruits selected in Cells C1 and Cell C2 should not be included in the remaining 3 cells and so on....

I Used the formula

=IF(C1=A1,OFFSET(A2,,,COUNTA($A$2:$A$5),1),0)

But this works fine if I select Apple in the Cell C1, then the List of C2 Shows all Fruits other than Apple, But if in Cell C1 I select any fruit other than Apple it does not work... (Using Excel2007 & Win XP)

Validation List Based On Named Range Not Restricted To List

Dec 15, 2007

I am attempting to use a named range as my Validation data source but have two questions:

1) It seems when you use a named range as a source the user can enter in any data they want in that cell. I really only want the user restricted to the list I give them. If I enter the list manually in the source box then it works but I really want to use a named range

2) My range is fixed to 10 cells and the user can enter in as many variables as they want (up to ten). When a user clicks on one of the cells that the validation is set to read the range the user has to always scroll to get to the top. When selecting the cell Ecel always defaults to the bottom choice in the list. I want to minimize the VBA because Mac users will be using this and VBA seems to be touchy with macs.

Validation List: Wide As Widest List Item

Oct 28, 2006

I am trying to make some of my data validation dropdown list boxes narrower. I was told one way to do that is to use combo boxes. (If there are any other ways, please let me know!)

I don't think my combo boxes are working. I had tried to make a combo box appear in each data validation pulldown cell by using this tutorial:

http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal10.html

I followed this tutorial word for word, but when I try to test the code at the end by double-clicking on a data validation pulldown cell, no combo box appears.

Data Validation Dependent On Lookup Flag

Aug 11, 2009

I have a worksheet (mileage) which has a client column (column B) which is validated so that the user can only choose clients from a dropdown list. The dropdown gets its values from another sheet (data) in the same workbook. In the data sheet each client also has a recharge flag (1 or 0) in a column beside it.

In the mileage worksheet column E is ‘mileage’ and column F is ‘recharge mileage’. What I need to do is create a validation rule or macro that only allows a user to input a value into the recharge mileage column if the client whom they selected from column B has a recharge flag of 1 (i.e. they are a recharge client). If they try to input a value without the client being a recharge client (or without selecting a client) it should give an error message.

Sep 2, 2009

There is a range of quarters and relevant dates like from and till - means if you have 1 Q 2009 => it means from 01.01.09 till 31.03.09. I would like to have following in my excel. There is a validation for selecting Q from list, once you select Q, there is LOOKUP function displaying from and till dates. But however it's not working, in same cases it's working, but in most cases the from/till period is not relevant to selected quarter.

Data Validation Used To Create Separate Data Validation List

Feb 15, 2014

I have 2 columns First Name & Surname. What I want to do is create a data validation list on the surname which results in the 2nd data validation list only showing the first names which link to one of the surnames.

i.e. If I selected Smith in the 1st validation list then I would only like to see 'Paul' as an option in the 2nd list

First Name
Surname

Linked Validation Lists & Lookup Based On Choice

Aug 12, 2007

I'm trying to continue on this post: Populate Cells After Choice From Drop-Down

I'm trying to expand on CNL's idea. What I need to do is create a spreadsheet that autopopulates two blocks based on the dropdown box that preceedes it. I've got it to partially work, but can't figure out the next step. The differnce between my sheet and CNL's sheet is my drop-down is an indirect data validation.

The easiest would be to have my data in one long list, but my goal is to make it easier on the user to find the specific procedure (I'm trying to build a budgeting spreadsheet for a medical office). So in box A15 there is a list of the different service area, which gives a list of choices in C15 based on the choice selected in A15. My goal is to have G15 and G16 list the cost and charge respectively.

M1 - O3 is the data for Radiology
Q1 - S4 is the data for Labs
U1 - W4 is the data for Office

Lookup Data From Validation Drop Down And Return Multiple Corresponding Values

Jul 17, 2009

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 have two lists.

The first:

I want to check if any of these values are contained in the text of each item in the second list, that looks like this:

64K4014-4" , 64K1030-4"
64P1116-3"
64P1187-4" , 64p1117-4"

Link To External Source Workbook For Data Validation Lookup Values Returns Zeros

Mar 25, 2014

Say I have Source Workbook X 1, and Destination Workbooks X 4. The Source workbook contains a number of lookup values. I want the lookup values to be maintained in the single Source workbook, and I want this workbook to remain closed when the end users are using their Destination workbooks. It is critical that certain cells in the Destination workbooks have validated data in order for formulas and summarizations to be correct.

I'm happy if the Destination workbooks contain a lookup worksheet (perhaps hidden). In short, I'd like the contents from the Source workbook, Lookups worksheet, to just be replicated "as is" into the Destination workbooks, Lookups worksheet. I then want to do my data validation from that worksheet, which of course is open (data validation appears to only work with open workbooks).

I've investigated the techniques in this link: [URL]

Questions:

1) Are the techniques in that link about the best approach? i.e. an external link plus array formulas?

2) A blank cell in the source workbook (text column but formatted as General) is resulting in a zero in the external link. How can I make the external link exactly match the text as entered in the source workbook?

Validation List

Nov 5, 2007

I use the following macro to add a new row:

Sub AddNewRow()
Range("a65535").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = Range("a65535").End(xlUp).Value + 1
Range("a5", Range("a65535").End(xlUp).Offset(0, 4)).Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
End Sub

the problem is that I have a validation list on this spreadsheet that does not copy to the new row. I have tried using the macro recorder, but haven't been able to get it to work. I have not been able to find anything with Mr. Excel that specifically addresses this. Can someone point me in the right direction?

the validation list is on a separate worksheet, and is called Performance Factor. there are multiple worksheets and each one has a control button that when clicked on will run the macro to add a new row. once up and running, this workbook will be shared.

I'm using Excel 2000, and have not posted this question anywhere else.
