Make Only One Of Two Cells Selectable
Sep 7, 2008If I put data into one of two cells I want it so that the other cell cannot be selected. I can't say I've struggled with this for days as I really don't know where to start

View 9 RepliesI do data entry for a webstore and one cell is used to map out the exact product category/subcategory path. I currently have to copy the appropriate path from a long list on one page and then paste it into the cell. I have to do this a hundred times a day. It would be nice if each cell within that column can have these values stored in them so I can just click on the cell and open up a drag down box and select the needed value. Is this possible to do in Excel?

day,month and year are the same but are placed into a cell at different times during the day. "Making Date Now () = (06/29/09) In another cell". Therefore, A1= Now() and E11 = 06/29/09
Can a list box (or other type) be created that would come up and allow a selection of multiple items. I do not need the items to be viewable beyond the selection, only to be ablle to sum different segments of the rows that were selected.
As example: Upon clicking in cell B 141 of the sheet a box would come up that would include the descriptions (in column C) of all items that are between rows 1 and 140 that have identifeid by a "y" in Column B. Then you could select as many as you desired and the sum of the quantity (column d) of the selected items would then appear in D141.
I am trying to use the COUNTIF function but over a selectable range. in other words instead of a fixed range like =COUNTIF(A1:A11,"=yes") I want to be able to choose the range Axx:Axx selected by drop down menus.

I would like the next list to narrow down the field (or choices). I am not sure I explained this well enough so here is another way to put it.
First Column would be a choice of meats. Beef, Chicken, Pork, etc.
If you select say Beef the next column would be a veggie, Carrots, Peas, Green beans. But with Beef you cannot select Carrots. and so on.
If I create a pivot table, I'm able to click the arrow to the right on my row header, unselect "Show All" and then manually check boxes next to the rows I want to show. The pivot table then shows only the rows I'm interested in.
I can't figure out how to do this with filtering outside of the pivot table. I can select AutoFilter and then select "All", "Top 10" or individual rows, but I don't have the option to use a checkbox style selection to choose multiple, but not all, rows.
How can I set this up to have checkboxes associated with the AutoFilter dropdown so I can pick and choose which rows show?
I would just like to know if there is a way to add items to a drop down list that cant actually be selected.
Asking because I have a table from which the dropdown list gets populated and the user then selects a particular row but would like the header fields to also be added to the list just for reference.
I have attached the spreadsheet in question for reference.
I have a sheet with logged test data.
Various test items are stored in columns.
(First row of each column is the description of the test item)
Problem:
1) To reflect certain testdata in a chart I want to be able to select a different column (Y values) by means of a dropdownlist.
X values are just the number of items (1 to ...)
How to make the charts data source selectable?
2) It seems that the input range of a ddl should be a list of items.
In my case they are in the first row of each column so only the first item is shown.
The following macro copies a range from "ThisWeek" worksheet to a selectable worksheet "Week1, Week2, Week3, etc. (determined by value in cell P13 (1,2,3,etc.)) The copy destination is currently cells F5:F36 but I want to make this range selectable also (ex. G5:G36, H5:H36, etc).
For example: If "ThisWeek" worksheet (fixed) cell $B$7 = "Adam", I want to match/lookup this name on row 4 (column F,G,H,etc) on the destination worksheet and copy the range of data to a column under the heading labeled "Adam". (No need to verify if heading exists)
Hope I have explained my problem clearly.
I have developed a user form in VBA which is used for entry into an excel worksheet. From this data, I need to do the following:
1) Create 2 output files for Job data entitled "J" and another file entitled "S". The "J" and "S" is captured in a field in the data. I need to hit a button that allows these 2 output files to be produced, so I need to 'loop' through rows of the data to do this/
2) In addition to 1), the user needs to be able to 'select' the date range they would like to see 'J' and 'S' data over. This will be based on a field called "Startdate'. How could I do this with the button above-can I parse an input value to a form and select the 'J' and 'S' files on this.
am making Excel for private use, i need the following makro to be active, here is the idea because i didnt yet work with makros at all:
If A1 = False
then Range B1:D1 will be locked cells
If A1 = True
then Range B1:D1 will be unlocked cells
Those rules apply to 1 day in the year.
the range A1:D1 will be copied about 400 so the makro should be active to each day separatly.
Check the picture attached for example of one day

A9, B9, C9, D9, etc.
On the next tab, I want the cell in D5 to equal A9, D6 to equal B9, D7 to C9, etc.
I can't seem to lock the cell correctly to do this. If I use =A$9 in cell D5 and then copy down in cell D6 I'll get A$9 also, but if I use $A9, in D6 I'll get $A10.
I am creating a form and certain fields are required. Can I force the user
to input some value before they can save?
anyone know how to make cells number going down the row in "4's. I wish to have cells, A1,B1, C1, D1 to have a "1"in it, and the next four down (E1,F1,G1,H1)to have a "2", and the next four to have a "3",and so on.....

I've recently discovered that I enjoy making Excel spreadsheets as a tool to solve recreational puzzles. Mostly variations on crosswords and such. Honestly it probably takes much longer to organize everything into a sheet than it would to just solve on paper, but I seem to enjoy it this way more.
The Actual Question (for TL;DR Types):
Anyway, I am trying to find a way so that a group of cells can all copy the value of the other cells in the group, regardless of which cell the value is entered into. So I don't want there to be one "master cell" that all the cells are linked to. I want them all linked to each other.
Specifically, right now I am making a spreadsheet for a non-traditional style crossword puzzle. My intention was to make fields for the answers to each clue, with individual cells for each letter, as well as the crossword grid itself. Then I would link the cell in the clue answer to the cell in the grid, so that when the answer was filled it, it would be inserted in the proper place. But since this is a crossword, there is more than one clue with a letter that links to each cell. I could make it so that the cell in the crossword grid is the "master" and make the other two equal to it, but I would much rather be able to enter the letter into any of the three cells and have all three fill automatically.
I realize I am making this way more difficult than it really needs to be, but that is kind of what I enjoy about it. Finding creative ways to make the puzzles fit into a spreadsheet and making them more streamlined.
I want to make all the cells that are outputted as blank by my formula a certain color to distinguish them from non blank cells. my current formula: [B1=IF(A1=0,"",A1)]. my guess would be to use an [AND] function but I do not know how to command a cell to change color without using the toolbar.

this will be for the entire workbook.

i need a button to copy the content of A8:C28 and paste in another section of the worksheet, i get the button to copy and paste the selected range, but when i copy and paste again it overides my current paste, i need it to paste my new selection underneath my previous paste.
I would like to loop through my workbook and distinguish (somehow) all of the cells that are named. I would like to do something to them so that I can easily glance through my workbook and find all ranges that aren't named. My biggest problem is that I would like whatever distinguishing I do to be reversable. Therefore, I can't just make all of the backgrounds of named ranges bright yellow, because then I would lose the original background color of my cells (they aren't all white).
The best option that I have thought of so far is inverting the fill color of each cell (this would be reversible). However, I'm not sure how to invert colors.
By the way, if the named ranges could be distinguished in some other way than by using background color, that would be fine too, as long as the changes are reversible.
how do i make a number list. i want to start at 8000 then i want excel to auto generate up to 9000. it will take ages to sitt and punch 8000 8001 8002 ......
Next problem
how can i sett that cell A1 is connected with B1. so when i sort by number it follows. Example:
I've got a problem with copying cells from table A to B.
A short insight of the situation:
Table A shows: ITEM_1 = 3, consequently ITEM_1 from table A is copied to table B for 3 times.
I've got a few huge information blocks to handle (up to 5000 items) obviously it's unreasonable to do this manually.
I've added an xlsx file with more detailed description.
