Limit Data Entry Based On List Values
Dec 17, 2007I need to create a Drop Down Menu that gets it's data from another group of cells. I have done this before but it has been sometime ago and now I can't remember.

View 3 RepliesI want to limit data entry in a range of cells to Y or N (Upper Case)
I have tried data validation, list, but this still allows y or n, I want just Y or N
I have a user form with textboxes on it, in some text boxes, text should be entered, but in some number should be entered, and in some date is required, but How can control the entry, if some one type text instead of number, then it should not be accepted. NOTE: Before I have seen such example here, that uses the KeyPress event.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need cell H18 to look at cell F4, and if the value in cell F4 is 'CFB', I need validation to limit the entry in cell H18 to the values in a named range 'pripro' to populate. That part I know how to do. (=pripro)
But if the value in F4 is CCP, I need H18 to allow anything. I'm having trouble adding this to the first part.
When you want to use Data Validation to limit the entry of the number of characters to a cell does this apply only to the cell that you are entering the characters or can it also apply to a cell that contains a LEN(A1) formula, for instance? Also,does the Data Validation limitation function includes spaces as well? Will the message appear while you are entering the characters (when it has reached the limit) or will it wait until you have hit Enter?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a userform with two pop up calendars (calendar1 and calendar2). Calendar1 is the "start date" and must be a Monday. I have this portion working fine. If they select a date other than a Monday an alert message will pop up notifying the user a Monday must be selected. I need to limit the user to a date selection in calendar2 to be a minimum of three years out from Calendar1. I would like an alert message to pop up in Calendar2 should the user select a date inside of my three year minimum. Am I even in the ballpark with the following:
If Trim(Calendar2.Value) < (Calendar1.Value + "not sure here") Then
Calendar2.SetFocus
MsgBox "Select End Date 3 Years Out From Start date", vbExclamation
have created a list obx using data validation. My question is, is there a way to limit the data available on the list.
Example: sheet 1
A1 A2 A3
Address A
address p
address s Date
Sheet 2
has data validation list that consists of all of A1 a named range called "address". Everything works great.
I now want to be able to limit the available choices in the list depending on what cell the user is in
example: if user is in sheet2 a1, i only want them to be able to pick address that have an "A" or "p" in cell A2 on sheet 1
I tried to acomplish this using conditional formatting, I format my named range with different colors, but the colors do not carry over to the data validation list on sheet2.
Here below the case:
List1 in Sheet1:
TEST1
TEST2
TEST1
TEST3
TEST8
List2 in Sheet2:
TEST1
TEST2
TEST3
TEST4
TEST5
I would like to know if it is possible to have in a single cell the information about the presence of an error in the List1, because a cell of List1 got a value that is not in List2.
I mean all cells in List1 have to contains the same values of List2. It is like a data validation. But it would be nice to have a single cell with "There is an error in your range".
content from form is captured via formulas to a CIMLoad format on another tab
Users keep entering four to six decimal places in weight value
I need to limit the cell to either whole numbers, or a maximum of 2 decimal places
The cell is formatted to two decimal places, but when you activate the cell it shows the full value they entered, and so does my CIMLoad
How to I limit the value in this cell to whole numbers or numbers with a maximum of two decimal places?
I have a section of my program that asks for board scores (point value is 6-10 in increments of .5) I have set up a data validation so that users can only enter those specific values. Problem is, none of the values can be more than 1 point from each other. (the part I have yet to figure out)
Example, if the first value is a 6.5 the second is 7.0 and the third is a 9.0, I need the data validation to display an error because the 9.0 is beyond the one point spread.
Summary: Display an error message if any of the points are more than 1.0 point from another.
I 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.
excal VBA programming.I have attached the file name "help" for your easy explanation purpose.
1. Is it possible to hide sheet nos. 1,2,3,4 & unhide the sheet as wished by me by puting the value (1or 2 or 3 or 4) in B3 cell.
2.There are per day production rate in E18 to E22 cell. Now whenever I will give value in H18 or H19 or H20 or H21 or H22, it will check whether the value is same with the respective E 18 or E19 or E20 or E21 or E22 cell. If both the values are not equal then give a message box "WARNING!!! YOUR VALUE IS NOT SAME". Can it be possible by creating VBA programming.
I have made a spreadhseet that track what games an official referees (sheet 1), what games they are touch judge 1 for (Sheet 2) and what games they are touch judge 2 for (sheet 3).
Sheet 4 then adds all these up for me and tells me as an good approximate estimate how much each official should get paid in way of expenses.
Simple enough so far.
I have a list of 3 letter codes on sheet 4 for each official that I put in the matrix of games. It's using these 3 letter codes that it adds it all up. This works fine
How can I get it to tell me if any 3 letter codes entered into the matrix (Sheet 1!D4:CD82) Do not match my list (Sheet 4!A5:A71). (an error detection system if you like).
To make it more interesting I would like it to ignore blank cells (games not played yet).
I'm not bad on excel formulas, but I can't get my head around how to do this.
I have is a list of data with headers
mold # casting date manufacturer condition
and have about 150 entries for each column.
What i want to do is to store data to the next available row in that list by entering "w x y z" in columns A1 B1 C1 D1.
Then when i have new data ww xx yy zz, i again want to enter it in columns A1 B1 C1 D1 and automatically have it stored beneath my last entry at the bottom of the original list.
I have a scenario where a cell has to be restricted based on the user input of another cell, also it should allow only Yes or No values.
ex:column A
column B
pending response
submitted
User should be allowed to enter a value in column B as "yes" or "No" only when column A has a value "Submitted"
I referred the thread to restrict entering the data [URL]...
However not able to add list as well.
this are function which button needs to be able to do after clicking on it.
• When the value of only one of Description or Unit/Price is entered, a warning message appears.
• When the message is confirmed, return to the entry status for the new data.
• When the values of both Description and Unit/Price are entered, save the values in the list of product (worksheet Product), and increase Product No. by 1 and erase values from NewProduct worksheet this is the screen how it should look but button which should be able to do all the thing above at once is called List Entry
[url]
after creating this function all the values from the table product need to be update into another table which sould look like that:
[url]
Is there anyone how could write code which will do thing above?
in the attachemnt is the excel file which shows what I have done so far, as i am not a good programmer,so I do not know if it's right
do Different SORT based on data entry.
I have a macro in a workbook that looks like this:
I have a percentage in R3.
If I make an entry in D13 then I want the R3 to be duplicated into C27 otherwise C27 should be 0.
The function below should return the value in a cell IF the string in the cell two cells to the left of it is "Nemo" Omitting the part highlighted in blue, my function returns a list of unique values...but when it's included, nothing is returned at all. Perhaps, there is an error in the syntax that I'm overlooking?
Function listUnique(rng As Range) As Variant
Dim row As Range
Dim elements() As String

I have the following formula in cell H2:
=AND(EXACT(G2,UPPER(G2)),(LEFT(G2)>="A")*(LEFT(G2)<="Z")*(MID(G2,2,1)>="0")*(MID(G2,2,1)<="9")
*(MID(G2,3,1)>="A")*(MID(G2,3,1)<="Z")*(MID(G2,4,1)>="0")*(MID(G2,4,1)<="9")*(MID(G2,5,1)>="A")
*(MID(G2,5,1)<="Z")*(MID(G2,6,1)>="0")*(MID(G2,6,1)<="9")*(LEN(G2)=6))
I would like to prohibit data entry in G2 if H2 reads "false" and allow data entry in G2 if H2 reads "true" .
i am trying to find a way to automatically copy information from a worksheet on my computer([list.xls]-List of accounts) to a worksheet on a shared folder([summary.xls]- accounts that have paid)
example:[list.xls]Sheet1!A:A has account numbers, C:C has account balance and D:D has notes on account.
If D:D is "paid", copy acc# to [\foldersummary.xls]Summary!A1, balance to B1 and notes to D1.
If D:D is "payment pending" do same as above but in row 2 and so on.

I Want Data Should Be Poped Out While Entering In Dataentry Sheet And Data Selction Should Be From Ohther Prefilled Cells. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;Here Is The File
I have a userform with several textboxes and 2 comboboxes. The data that I need protected from duplication is based in the comboboxes. If I ignore the other fields and presume the following it may be easier to understand:
The comboboxes are populated by the data stored in sheet1 and when the userform is complete, the OK button populates all the data into sheet2
Combobox1 contains names eg, John, Julie, Bob etc
Combobox2 contains colours eg, Red, Blue, Green etc
I want the userform to allow the data to be entered into sheet2 only if it is not an exact duplicate of the choices in BOTH of the comboboxes
For Example
John Red
Julie Red
Bob Blue
John Blue
These are all ok, however, to try and enter John Red again would bring up a message box indicating a duplicate entry and prevent the data from being entered.
in the attached spreadsheet I have multiple sheets. On the tab "Tech IDS", column A is named "Name" and column B is the tech ID that is associated with the name in column A. Column B is validated as List=Name. Now under the tab "CAL Form" under Column A I need to type the tech's name. Now under the tab "CAL SHEET TEMPLATE" the name that I typed corresponds with a given cell (i.e. B2='CAL Form'!A2). Notice though that I2 does not give a tech id b/c of DV dropdown list meeting its limit. Look at I68, Bob's id appears b/c he fits within the limits. My question is... how can I still use the list with more names or can I modify the formula (=INDEX(ID,MATCH(B68,Name,0))) to include another Match search?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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.
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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have set up a spreadsheet that requires info to be inputted into cells. I have created drop down lists in the cells to only allow certain information to be inputted.
Allow user to use a drop down list and pick the appropriate entry, then have another drop down list in the adjacent cell that only contains items that correspond to what the first drop down entry was (i.e. company name in first drop down box, adjacent cell drop down list only contains parts made for that company). Then I would like the next column to contain the pricing of the item that was chosen in the previous cell's drop down box. Ideally, this cell would be populated automatically depending on the part chosen for the company. I am trying to create a log of parts shipped and total amount shipped.
