Limit Drop Down List And Linking To Other Info

Feb 1, 2006

I 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.

Get Around The DV Drop Down List Limit

Aug 7, 2009

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?

Drop Down List Which Returns Values Based On What Has Been Selected In The Previous Drop Down List In The Adjacent Cell

Mar 19, 2009

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 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 .

Linking Drop Down Lists Across Worksheets

Jan 20, 2009

Using Office 2003.

I have created two workbooks, one which is a master price list (MasterPriceList.xls) and another which is a pricing sheet template that will be used to calculate many different products (Pricing.xls)

I have used a VLOOKUP across the workbooks (thanks to those who helped me with that) but I cannot get a drop list to work across two worksheets. When I enter the source in the "refers to" box, I get a notice saying that you can't use data validation across two workbooks. However, this was the same error message I got when I was incorrectly inserting the reference source for the VLOOKUP function, so I don't believe it Also, there are several tutorials on the web that say this can be done. However, none of them seem to work for me.

I cannot open the Data Validation box and get to the other open worksheet, so I can highlight the area I want, with the range I want to drop down. Until I close the data validation box, I cannot get out of that sheet. I have used cell ranges as well as named ranges.

When I type in a name, I get only the text I entered in the source reference box appearing on the sheet, i.e., the drop down box will only show "=C:Documents And SettingsAllenMy Documents, etc" it doesn't seem to recognize it as a source.

Linking Drop-down Selections To Namelists

May 26, 2007

In the attached spreadsheet NamesReference.xls, cell A1 of Initial Quality worksheet has a drop down that apparently references the Namelist? "FieldeList" which is on the List worksheet, cells A1-A14. I understand how to set up the FieldeList Nameslist, but by examining cell A1 of the Initial Quality worksheet, how can you determine that this reference exists, or how do you establish such references to Namelists, with the drop-down arrows?

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?

Drop-Down List: Generate A List Based On The Value Of A Cell

Jan 7, 2009

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.

Auto Input Info From A List

Feb 10, 2009

I am having difficulty with this formula. In the attached spreadsheet. I want to just input the item number in column A, manually. From there I want it to take the information from the hidden list and fill in the rest of the fields. Example. I input in A4-2664, I want it to search the list for 2664 and take the corrisponding information. It would take the information from M5, O5, and Q5 and place that in C4, E4, G4. I place spaces in the hidden list to make the format the same.

Excel 2007 :: Linking List To A Form

Jan 6, 2014

I want to link a table to a form. Only, I noticed that when setting the input range in the form I'm unable to use OFFSET OR a table name. How can I link the form to a list which is going to expand?

Attached is an example. Two sheets. One for the list. One for the form. The list will keep getting added to.

Unrelated-but perhaps useful - Is it possible to link one cell to a list in another sheet so a user can type in a word and it will offer autocomplete options in excel 2007 ?

Detecting Duplicate Cells Using Info From The List

Feb 5, 2014

I have a sheet containing lots of information (lists of flight information to and from all countries). So entries are duplicated in the entire sheet. For example LITHUANIA, USA, CHINA... appears lots of times. I only need to highlight particular countries.

I would just use conditional formatting, but maybe there is a quicker way to do that?

So there is a list of 50 countries in one sheet and in another sheet I got all the info. I need those 50 countries from the list to be highlighted in the info sheet (sheet has many columns and rows).

Dropdown List Created From 2 Columns Of Info?

Mar 24, 2014

I have a list of names in column B, I can easily put this into a list

I also have a different list of names in Column C

These two list are feeding from sharepoint and are updated regularly

What I want to do is create a drop down list that will list all the names in Column B and Column C, while keeping the initial lists in there separate columns

I have been trying to find a formula to lookup both columns and return all the names into another column (E) using the formula below

=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$C$600,MOD(ROWS(E$2:E2)-1,ROWS($B$2:$C$600))+1,INT((ROWS(E$2:E2)-1)/ROWS($B$2:$C$600))+1),"")

the plan been to just put column E into my drop down list, but this formula is returning alot of blanks between Column B + C in the list (there might be 100 names in column B and only 30 in column C)

To try remove the blanks I tried another formula pulling the info into Column F,

=IFERROR(INDEX($E$2:$E$5000,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($E$2:$E$5000)-ROW($E$2)+1)/($E$2:$E$5000<>""),ROWS(F$2:F2))),"")

But while this did remove the blanks (about 500 blanks) it left me with about 70 "0" errors.

Need To Pull Out Specific Info From Mixed List

Apr 3, 2014

I pulled a report into excel that lists staff details and workgroups that they have access to. There are nearly 8000 staff who can have anywhere from 0 to 120 workgroups.

The workgroups are listed with the staff details in the following format:

SurnameForenamePost Title183860314040|188778743040|261226948048|584865373040|088365861041

SurnameForenamePost Title177448555041|315136549047|400323457046

With the whole list appearing in one cell and not in numerical order.

I need to pull out a list for each workgroup, with all the staff who have access.

Even if there was a way I could separate out the workgroups and get them to line up.

Getting Info From A List And Input Then Transferring Data

Mar 24, 2007

a user inputs the drawing number and revision in a box on the first sheet in the workbook. Once that is done, the user then selects the type of drawing from the drop-down menu, once "Submit" is clicked it takes that info and puts the information in the next available cell for the other worksheets (if that worksheet calls out for that certain part).

I've been having trouble trying to figure out how to be able to accomplish this task.

If you have any ideas, that'd be great.

I've attached a basic worksheet I drew up to give you a better idea of what I'm looking to do.

Forgot to mention that there are totals involved! The "destination" worksheets have set totals for each drawing type, so what also has to be taken into consideration is that the specific drawing needs to have the correct total beside it. I created a "Totals" worksheet to show what drawings are what totals for each cell. Realizing this may always change or be updated, I created a seperate worksheet to pull all the numbers off of. I thought this might be easier rather than going in and changing the coding each time.
