Lookup Cell And Display In Text Box

Sep 15, 2006

I am looking for a way to use A VBSRIPT to input a username in an input box that will then use this username, add it to a specific row/column and excel cell in a workbook and then display the result in a popup box that the user has to aknowledge by clicking ok before they can continue with their work. The situation is this: I have a pupil mark book that I wish to ensure that the pupils can access their marks easily without having to "see" all of my markbook.

Display Text In A Cell

Jan 16, 2009

irst Problem:

I need a little help with the same employee time sheet that I am working on in Excel 2007. I have a dropdown box in Cell E1 that lets the employee select their name. Example, if the choices in the drop down are: Smith, John Jones, Paul Nelson, Bob and Hall, Bill. So the names are Last Name, First Name. Once the employee chooses their name, I would like Cell G1 to display "Hello (E1). Welcome to AA Company." (where E1 is the employee's name but First Name Last Name - so it is reverse order of the choices in the dropdown). If E1 is left blank, I would like Cell G1 to display "Hello. Welcome to AA Company."

Second Problem:

How can I get rid of #VALUE! in a cell without messing up the formula of that cell or the cell it corresponds to??

Cell Will Not Display All Text Characters? !

Aug 14, 2008

I pasted in 1369 characters (including spaces) to a cell, and NO MATTER what I try, all characters will not print.

If I have the cell up for formatting on the function line, all text can be seen, but for some reason it cuts off the last sentance or more and will not show it in print preview.

I've tried all kinds of cell text formatting, cell merging, etc. with no luck. The only work around I found is to just have the "missing text" on the following row.

How Can I Display Another Cell As Hyperlink Text

Oct 16, 2008

I have a workbook that has a main sheet which provides stats from other sheets within the workbook. I have a hyperlink which goes to a certain place of sheet 2 and the displayed text shows the contents of a cell on sheet 2.

I know it's possible to have the hyperlink go to a certain cell on another workbook as opposed to worksheet, but I cant display the contents of a cell on another workbook as the text on the hyperlink.

Display Text And Its Formatting In Other Cell

Oct 9, 2008

Without using a copy/paste macro, is there a way to display the text and its formatting from another cell? Obviously, the usual formula "= A2" only brings the text from that cell. Example:

A3: un-am-big-u-ous

G4: = A3 (but I want the font formatting used here as well)

Display Text If Another Cell Filled

Apr 26, 2007

Is it possible to display text based on the contents of another cell?

I am creating a report that includes all our data for the year per month - this builds dynamically every time i create the next months report.

So far i have data for,

Column A-- Column B
Jan - have data
Feb - have data
March - have data
April - no data yet...

In this example i would want the following text to appear in another cell,

Statistics: January - March 2007

It would dynamically update to January - April 2007... once April cell had data.

It's probably very easy but after several attempts i can't get it working as such.

Display Text When Hovering Over Cell

Aug 16, 2007

I have a cell with a number in it. The number refers to a cost center and is validated by using a drop down menu. In another sheet I have a table that gives a text description of the cost center. Is there a way this description can be shown when I hover the mouse over a cell with a cost center number?

(I can of course use vlookup and display it in the next column, but I am wondering if there is a way to show it only while hovering.)

Excel - Display Text In Cell But That Cell Have Different Value?

Jul 31, 2013

excel help.jpg

Basically it is a training matrix.

basically I need A30, A32, A34 and A36 cells to display the characters they are currently displaying but when i copy and past any of them into a new cell on the matrix for example into cell B11 I want to be able to SUM the total of that column and display it in cell B24

So to recap, I would like A30, A32, A34 and A36 cells to hold 25, 50, 75 and 100 as there value but this can not be displayed it is just a value which i can use to calculate.

I am ok if i have to link the cells with another worksheet but i have tried doing this also i dont know if i need to use VBA.

Display Text In Cell Only If Value Exists In Different Cell?

Jan 3, 2012

Let me see if I can make this succinct and clear. Cell AQ2 (where the formula below resides) looks at the value in cell E2. It then references table $K$3:$U:$100 on sheet "LookupTables" to get the value to display. It does this (and works great) with the formula below:

Code:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(E2,LookupTables!$K$3:$U$100,7,FALSE)),"",
IF(VLOOKUP(E2,LookupTables!$K$3:$U$100,7,FALSE)="","",
VLOOKUP(E2,LookupTables!$K$3:$U$100,7,FALSE)))

I would like to add one more argument. I would also like it to reference cell U3 in the LookupTables sheet and if there is anything in that cell to go ahead and complete the formula, but if there's no value in that cell, it should return no text and be blank

Display Named Range Contents Based On Text In Cell

Aug 24, 2009

I have some dynamic named ranges in sheet1, and in sheet2 I have data validation dropdown list which has the names of all the DNR's in it.

What I want it to do (in sheet3, no less) is for the user to be able to pick a named range from the dropdown list, and have a particular column in sheet3 then display that entire named range.

I have made a 'data' worksheet which is the source for the data validation in sheet2. Each item in the list identically matches the name of each of the named ranges. I was hoping to be able to use some form of =INDIRECT but alas, no such luck.

So it's almost like a copy and paste function I'm after, where:

If you pick "Schedule_From" out of the DD-list, then DNR 'Schedule_From' is what is pasted in Column B in Sheet3.

DON'T want to use a PivotTable.

Using Cell Text To Lookup A Certain Worksheet

Oct 13, 2008

I want to be able to look up a cell and do an index lookup on the worksheet with that cells text. Eg.

=index('B2'!A2:E500,match(1,('B2'!A2:A500=E2)*('B2'!C2:C500=D2),0),5).

Where 'B2'! is the worksheet I want to lookup. If cell B2 contained BAZ, the index would lookup worksheet BAZ. If B2 contained TAZ, the index would lookup worksheet TAZ.

Lookup 1st X Characters Of Cell Text

Mar 27, 2008

I have some cells in a spreadsheet that contain unique numbers as the beginning of the cell (these numbers are always ten characters). In the rest of the cell there is text. the data would look something like this:-

SGGHNVT561 - 3yr Maintenance

I also have some cells which dont have the unique number at the begging, so the data would just look like:-

3yr Maintenance

In another table I have a list of the unique numbers and the name that they correspond to, for example (this is the 2 columns)

SGGHNVT561 - Dave
HUKIDO8946 - Stuart
HJUTIFHE78 - Graham

I have ben trying to construct a formula that only searches the beginning of the cells to see if it containts one of the unique numbers and if it does to put the name of the person beside the cell. If the unique number is not there to return a value like 'Check'.

i tried vlookup but then i ran out of ideas :/

this is what i came up with so far:-
=IF(P7="","",VLOOKUP(P7,'[Master List.xls]Sheet1'!$B$2:$C$5,2))

The only problem i can see that this is looking for the full cell to be within the master list - but its really just the first 10 characters I want it to check

Lookup Data From Many Rows & Display In 1 Row

May 23, 2009

Data to appear on one of my sheets.
I have a database of family info, where each family has an ID in A on the "Mems" sheet, and each child is listed separately on "Children" sheet and they each also have the family ID listed for each child in A.
On the Mems sheet all the IDs are unique.
On the Children sheet, as there can be multiple kids per family the same ID value can appear multiple times in A.

How do I get the Mems sheet to show all the kids names (in B on the children sheet) either in 1 single cell (concatonated) or in a series of cells apended at the end of the relevant data row on the Mems sheet?

Display Message When Lookup Returns #N/A

Nov 21, 2007

I'm trying to generate a message box when a lookup cell returns the #N/A error value.

The lookup formula (=VLOOKUP(O8,Prod_Lookup,6,FALSE)) is in a "helper column" and returns a value of 0 if there is no entry in the lookup source sheet, but returns a value of #N/A if a non-matching date is entered in the active worksheet.

I have the following, but need some help in getting it work correctly. At present, it doesn't trigger the message box to pop up.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim Prod_Val As Range
Dim note1 As String

Set Prod_Val = Worksheets("C_Data").Range("P8:P7000")

note1 = "Brazer PPM cannot be calculated because the Daily Production Count" & vbLf & _
"has not been entered for this date." & vbLf & vbLf & _
"The Daily Production Count must be entered prior to entering the daily leak data." & vbLf & vbLf & _
"Upon clicking the OK button you will taken to the Production Count sheet to enter the data."

Lookup Item That May Be In One Of Multiple Columns, Display From One Column

Jan 1, 2010

I would like to put a formula (or make a macro) for Cell F7 (and all the other cells too) in sheet "Budget Sheet" that pulls the value $100 from cell G5 from sheet "Input Sheet" by looking through columns A-F for the account ID "5111100"

Obstacles:

- I (for the most part) cannot change the format of "Budget Sheet" or "Input Sheet"

- I cannot have the formula (or macro) just look down Column F because the actual file I am working with has the pertinent account IDs scattered through columns D-F (it was exported from another program).

Notes:
- I am using Excel 2003 SP3
- If necessary, I can make the reference to "5111100 · Bonus" if that would make things simpler

- Column G will always contain the dollar amount I need.

-I've been hitting the books trying to figure out how to get array formula working on this and cannot for the life of me get it to obey when I press ctrl-shift-enter.
