List Box Of Ranges, Pick One To Activate That Cell

Mar 30, 2007

How can I add multiple cells (ranges) to a listbox, and when the user clicks one, it will activate that cell in excell. I thought about have the list box for the text, and a corresponding array that holds the actual range or address, but I cant get it working.

Long version:
I have a search feature that, when you type a name, it searches through a column and finds the name. Now if there are multiple matches to your string, I want it to add the full name to a listbox, and have the user pick one from the list to activate.

So basically, if I search for the name "john" but theres multiple people with that name ("john doe", "john smith", & "john mazz"), it would add the three to a list box, I would pick one from the list, and it would activate that cell.

I have everything done except that last part. I have it adding multiple matches to the list box, but I cant figure out an easy way to activate the correct cell when double clicking the item in the list. I could have it search again for the selected full name, but there is likely to be a case where one person is entered twice.

Pick From List Or Combo Box And Return Definition In Cell To The Right..

Jan 18, 2009

In my attachment, I have a worksheet where I need to pick a rating from a combo box or list (Expert, Leading, Applying, Learning, Under Performing). I will be picking this rating 10 different times on this worksheet and the selections will not be the same in all cases so the definition I need won't always be the same.

I would like to return the definition (definitions are detailed on another worksheet, Data Elements) to the cell to the right.

I've tried IF statements but when I make one selection from the combo box, all the combo boxes select the same thing. I've also tried vlookup but can't figure it out and can't find an explanation in layman's terms.

VB To Activate List Drop Down Boxes When Data Is Entered In A Cell

May 20, 2009

I have a Validation drop down box (column B) and a defined range drop down box (column E linked to the Totals tab with A2-A31 defined as Products) that I need to activate everytime data is added to a new line in column 'A' and cells in column 'B' or 'E' are selected. Additionally, they need to activate if the cells in column 'B' or 'E' are selected for any of the old data so changes can be made. This will help reduce the overall file size and calculation time for a year's worth of data.

There is already some code on the worksheet that looks like it can be adapted if someone knows how to code in the drop down boxes.

Pick From List

Jul 17, 2007

I am managing a group of sales reps and when they sell a product they receive commissions I am trying to develop something in excel that in cell B5 there will be a drop down that they can choose one of three products (call them A,B,C) then in C5 another drop down will be there w/ two options (new, refurb), then the result will be in D5 depending on the selections. The parameters would be:

Product A new = $10
B new = $20
C new = $30
A refurb = $5
b refurb = $15
C refurb = $25

So if the rep dropped down in cell B5 Product B then dropped down in cell C5 Refurb, the result would appear in D5 and would equal $15.

Dropdown Menu To Pick Records Out Of List?

Dec 16, 2013

Is it possible on Excel to make a drop down menu which picks records out of a list?

I've a big spreadsheet. Thousands of records. About 100 responsible are listed responsible for them. I've highlighted stuff for them to fix, I'll be emailing it out to them, and they'll need to isolate the dozens of records they are each responsible for.

They are, erm, technologically challenged. I want to keep it simple, put one menu on the screen and say

'Pick your name from the list.'

George W picks himself, and then it lists his records but not anybody else's.

Can Excel do that? (Rather, probably, but where do I start?)

But no success.

The Q is: how can I link each name to its own macro?
so when chosen, will activate the macro?

Using A List Box Or Other Control Form To Activate Different Macros

Jun 4, 2008

I am designing (badly!) an excel file that is intended to be as user friendly as possible. I would like to add in a navigation feature using a list box or other appropriate control form that will take the user to the correct tab in the workbook depending on which item they choose from the list.

My aim is too hide all the tabs at the bottom whilst not crowding my page with multiple command buttons, and still be able to navigate easily through the workbook.

Using "if" And "validation" Together - Pick From One List, Second List Shows Up

Aug 27, 2009

I would like to have a validation table that, when used, provides a second validation table based on the selection made in the first one. My company provides a wide array of services that I would like to divide into categories - the first drop-down would list these categories ("Cleaning", "Repair", etc.), and then have the next column's drop-down only show those services under the "Cleaning", "Repair", etc. categories.

I know how to make validation tables (I have already created the different tables, with each service under its proper category), but I don't know to get Excel to make one list "pop up" after making a selection from another one.

Make Formula Pick Up Filename From A Different Cell...

Feb 9, 2010

I have a formula that looks like this : ='G:STOCKS[1001 Stock.xls]Matl%'!$I$32

There are hundreds of similar formulas, all referencing different cells in the same file. The “1001” bit refers to the date, and next month it will need to say “1002” to pick up the new month's file. I would like to hold the “1002” bit in a cell (say A1), so that at month end, I just change that one cell, and all the formulas will point to the new file, but I’m not sure how to work that into the formula.

How Do I Either Scroll Through Each Name In The List Box And Activate The "current" Worksheet

Mar 25, 2007

I've written a program that list all the occurences of a given name in a specific cell from all worksheets in the active workbook. The list is placed in a listbox and the first listing is selected with ListBox1.Selected(0) = True. Additionally the worksheet of the first listing is activated.

My question is now how do I either scroll through each name in the list box and activate the "current" worksheet. I assume that I'll need to address scrolling up/dowm and clicking of any particular name on the list.

Activate Cell In Column B

Oct 27, 2008

I have code that calls a dataform when I click on a command button. Regardless of where I am in the row, the command button is in column A. I want the selected cell to move to column B in the same row so that when the userform displays it will show the correct data. (I have used
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Container.Value = ActiveCell.Value
PONumbers.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value
SizeType.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
Vessel.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Value
'etc
End Sub
to populate my userform.

Can I add something in my call code to also select the cell I want? Or alter the initialization code to start at the beginning of that row?

Pick Data From A Specific Row/column (eg 10/B) Related To Active Cell

Dec 2, 2009

I have a spreadsheet with my Periods along row 10. e.g. C10: "1", D10: "2", E10 "3", F10: "4", G10: "5" etc. (green on the attached sheet). I have my departments along column B, e.g. B11: "Baked" B12: "Fresh" B13: "Frozen" (yellow on the attached sheet)

what I need and cannot work out is some VBA code that will populate two variables (lets call them Period & Department) when I click on one of the figures. For example if I click on cell: if I click E14: Period would have the contents of cell E10, and Department the contents of cell B14.

if i click G14: Period would have the contents of G10, and Department the contents of cell B14 again. I know how to get the click on the cell to work properly etc, and I have code to slot these variables into that works very nicely, I just can't get this bit to work!!!!
