I am trying to make a single drop-down list which contains values from two columns.
I should give you the example immediately:
NAME | SURNAME (these are two columns)
Jon | Alfa
Karl | Beta
Lilly | Wolf
And the drop-down list should look like this:
DROP-DOWN
Jon Alfa
Karl Beta
Lilly Wolf
I have already tried to solve my problem with data validation but with no success.
I'm trying to set up a billing form for my work. I'm trying to include drop down list for each sections (personnel, equipment, and supplies), then all sum together as a bill. I'm not sure if this is doable in excel.

How to I pull the data from sheet 1 and bring it in sheet 2 in order to calculate protein, carbohydrates and fat content. I have attached a copy of the excel spread sheet.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a drop down list, using data validation, calling from a range name on a different sheet($1). Works great. I see my list of choices.
What I want to do next is for another named range on another sheet($2) to be called when I select one of the options from the drop down.
So say the drop down is in I71, when I pick an option from that list it will populate (B72, B73:G73, B74:G74...etc...) from a named range I have already defined on ($2).
Where would I put the (if I71=Range1, then paste this info into the (B72, B73:G73, B74:G74...etc...) on $1 ?
Actually I plan to create an eRequisition Form for our branch sites. My focus would be the consumable items of Lexmark printers. I want to create cascading drop-down lists based on data table (worksheet : All) as per attached. From lots of examples I've seen in this or other similar forums, I notice that in order to allow this cascading to work is by creating column with header name identical with the input in the 1st List. But I'm thinking, if I need to do that, then there gonna be hundreds or maybe thousands columns to create as the number of branches are expanding, so I think tht should not be practical.
I found examples that shows how lookup 1 value can return multiple values but I totally cannot think of a way to allow those multiple values to be returned as dropdown list rather than displaying all in rows of the worksheet.
What I need is that, in 1st list, upon selecting the branch, it'll populate all items related to the branch and when selecting the item, it'll populate brand/model list for the particular item only. The input in the dropdown list should not have duplicates. Been trying using pivot to do this with macro that enables auto refresh once any changes made in the table.
create this cascading drop-down lists just based on the table as per attached? I really want to avoid having to create extra tables to allow this cascading to work.

I'm creating a spreadsheet to keep track of my costs of production in an online game. Within the game there are a range of spawned resources that appear for only a short time before being unobtainable these resources have specific types that is shared between multiple spawns of the resource but each resource spawn has a unique name.
My first worksheet lists all the resources and their various qualities and the later worksheets are meant to allow me to choose from a list resources matching the requirements of the item I'm looking to craft. The example i have shown in the second picture requires Tatooinian Fiberplast and Lokian Wild Wheat to craft so in the Chosen Resource column I would like to have a drop down list allowing me to select the named resource type i would like to use - for Tatooinian Fiberplast the only thing on the list should be Omnitwixi and for the Wild Wheat it should show Fizi and Krad

I am aware there are people with more pressing problems than computer games and as such
I am hoping to create a drop down list of months in one sheet, and when I select a certain month, columns in about 10 other worksheets in the same workbook will either hide or unhide columns...
The spreadsheet is laid out with columns (C-N) for each month in the year, for actuals, then columns for budget and budget variance (O-P), then YTD Actual, YTD Budget and YTD Variance. When I select September, for example, I want October-December to hide, and leave Jan-Sep unhidden, while keeping the budget, YTD and variance columns.
Is there a VBA code that can achieve this?
I need a UDF to make live easier. I have a huge excel file and I need a final function (I suppose a UDF) that lists all values from a range spanning over multiple columns and rows. I would not really like a macro, since it does not update when certain values are changed.
It's part of a bigger functionality, but I need this one, really bad, since it spans over 6000 rows as the search range, and 7000 as the search values. In short:
I got to list all the unique values. They are in specific cells on worksheet 1 (A1:C5 and A25:C31) and should be listed on worksheet2 starting in field A2. As 'simple' as that. Nothing more, nothing less, just list all unique values of a certain range, which I specify. If it can not be done, by selecting the two fields separately, it's no problem at all to list all values in eg A1:C6000. Do note that some of the cells will be blank, and I don't need blanks. I only need the actual data sets. I added a sample excel file, that shows a representation of the data. I can not upload the actual file, since it's way too big (60 MB). So a sample file should give you the idea.
Three sheets:
Data 1: some value lists multiple columns
Data 2: some value lists, again multiple columns
Desired result: the result as it should be listed.

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.
I have a table where I need to make a drop down list in two consecutive columns (G and H). The list in column H will depend on the Option chosen in Column H.
Column G
Compensation
Payroll
Column H
COMPENSATION
Savings Box
Update Information General PAYROLL
Payment Inquiry Update Information Severance Pay
As shown above If you select Compensation in G you will have those three options in column H and the same for Payroll.
I created a drop down list for products my company sells. Now I am wondering how can I get Excel to display the cost of the item in another column so I do not have to type in the cost each time I bring that product up.
I have searched google and this site but of course I can't describe my search well enough to find what im looking for.
I'm sure this has been explained I just can't find the answer to my problem.

I need to be able to display a list of values from a drop down window. When the value in the drop down window is selected I need to have the data populated in the rows to the right of the drop down window. I have created the Drop Down using data validation in B12, I need C12 & D12 to auto fill with the info listed in H2 & I1 according to the item picked in the drop down.
I have tried to follow an example listed on the website but i keep getting a formula error.
Is it possible to assign values to names in a list, so that when you validate it as a drop-down list, you can select a name from the drop-down and it's corresponding value will be added to separate cell? Basically, I have survey questions which have five possible responses: Excellent - Very Good - Good - Fair - Poor. We want to assign a value to each, 5 for Excellent, 4 for Very Good and so on, so that when a response is selected from a drop-down, it's value appears in a separate cell (so that we can calculate a total and average score from the selections).

I built a searchable drop down list in excel which will create quick receipts from a huge list of products.
I entered my products in one column and their respective content and price in the columns next to it.
My goal is to create a searchable drop down list which will include all of my products so that when I search and select the product my customer ordered it will ultimately pull the content and price with it to form a receipt with multiple products.
The problem I ran into is that my searchable drop down list cannot be copied to the multiple rows below.
Cell B8 is active.

I have created a dynamic named range and used and index to create the drop down list, which seems to work correctly. I run into a problem with I try to add the list to more than one column, as it obviously pulls in values from the Helper sheet I have used.
When the user tries to select values in row one after making a selection in row two, the values available for selection are incorrect.
Is there any way to have a three column dependent drop list that can be used in more than one row?
I have uploaded the file here: ownCloud
The information on the tab named 'Cabling Ducts' is used in an index on the 'Helper' sheet to remove duplicate values. The drop down list columns appear in 'CS 1' under the headings 'Cable Type', 'Size (mm)' and 'Cores'. Helper sheet is self explanatory.
There are other dependent drop-down list posts on this forum, but none of them are talking about working with multiple worksheets. I have three worksheets, one called "Main", one called "Universities", one called "Schools".
One the "Main" worksheet, I have two Combo Boxes (the one from the "Form" toolbar). I would like to first pick a university from the combo box and then based on the selection, the second combo box would give me just the schools in that specific univeristy. My guess on how to link the two drop-down list is by the ID column. If I select "University of Washington" which has an ID of "WAS" it would narrow down the second list to ID with "WAS" in it (Which would be "WAS1", "WAS2, etc). The reason I am using Combo Box is because of the "Link Cell" property which give me an output of the number of the selection into a cell. I will use that to get the corresponding ID. I have attached an example to this post.
I'm new to excel and was trying to make a workbook that will have a drop down list populate based on a user input in two separate cells. Basically, i have columns: name, pages, and books. I would like to have the drop down list match data by first finding the amount of books read, then finding the amount of pages read. Then any name that meets the criteria will be available in the drop down list. How can I do this?

We use excel for scheduling purposes and each and every day we fill out a floor chart with who is working that day. As it stands now we have to print out a template and hand write all names or type them in and print it out. What I would like to try and do is define each set of names and allow for easy access to auto fill these names. I feel it needs to be a simple process as not all of our managers experienced in excel or formulas. What I would like to try an accomplish is in sheet 1 cell A1 to be able to create a drop list or formula that that would let me return all the names for a given day.
For the purposes of this discussion we can just define each list as the day that is the header ( IE A2:A4 on sheet 2 would be defined as "monday". Also, I already have the names autofilled based off of what the our schedule has. I'm curious if I could create a drop down list with each day of the week as an option, and if they select Tuesday it will then return all the names defined as Tuesday in a column below.And the next day be able to return Wednesday names and so on.
I'm not stuck on it being a drop down list. Maybe if they could just type and =(defined name) in the box above and it would return all the names.
I have tried an =(defined name) and it does return the value but only for the first cell and it has to be in the same row for it to return the name. Which doesn't work because I would like the names that are being defined on a separate sheet.
