Making Dropdown List Show (Select One) In All Cells?
Mar 27, 2014
How do i make a drop down list in a cell show Select One in the cell when the cells previous contence (Option selected from drop down list) have been deleted. E.g Cell E5:E400 must show Select One in the cell and when clicked on show drop down list I dont want a input message box or error box i can do that with validation
I have a sheet with a data in range A1:J9. I have a drop down list in each cell from A2:A100.
I'm trying to store all values in A1:J9 in an array using the property CurrentRegion.value like below
Code: Arr=Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value The issue is that is taking as current region the range A1:J100, even if I don't have selected any value in the drop down list from A10:A100.
Is there a way to force CurrentRegion to select only values from A1:J9 ignoring the blanks dropdown list values or a similar way to load an array with values in a contiguous range?
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 have a price list with type & price, I want do a drop down list for type (this is solve), so when i select list at type, the cell I want it show price.
I have a drop down list that is dependant on another drop down list, all this works fine, however if the user changes the first drop down list the second still continues to display the last option chosen by the user, is there a way to make the 2nd drop down list display "Please Use Drop Down List To Select An Option" instead, also is it also possible to do this without code?
I have some data validation drop down lists in excel, I can tab through all the lists but I have to press alt + down arrow to show the list, Is their a way it can be automatically shown as soon as I focus on the tab.
What I want to do is select other options in IE html drop down list. But somehow the other methods I read online doesn't work with my situation. I got either "Variable or Block Variable not set yet" or "Property or Method doesn't apply" errors. The following is the VBA code I have so far:
In cell B4 I have data validation drop down list which refers to the range of values named Tarifalist. Tarifalist list has the following range of values: 01,1A-1F / DAC / 02 / OM / HM / 5A (Baja) / 5 (Baja) / 03
In cell B5 I have a data validation drop down list with =IF(OR($B$4="03",$B$4="OM",$B$4="HM"),Thirty,ThirtySixty) Where range Thirty has the value 30, and ThirtySixty has values 30 and 60
I would like in addition, a Macro which when either 03, HM, or OM is selected in cell B4, that it automatically sets the value to 30 in cell B5. The purpose is so that the input is foolproof, and no user can accidentally leave the value at 60. As of now, if the value has been left at 60, and 03, HM, or OM is selected in B4, B5 can stay at 60, which is not a valid input and must be manually changed.
I have two cells and both have a drop down list. I would like Excel to automatically select an item from the second drop-down list based on the manual selection of the first drop-down list. The second cell needs the have the dependent item appear in the second cell not just be available in the drop-down list.
For example, Cell A1 has a drop-down lsit of the names of fruits, vegetables and flowers (apples, bananas, carrots, carnations, corn, daisys, tomatoes, zuchinni). Cell B1 has another drop down with three items (fruits, vegetables & flowers) which needs to be dependent on the first list. Further, I would like cell B1 to automatically select the appropriate item.
For example, if "carrots" is selected in cell A1 then I would like "vegetables" to be selected and automatically appear in cell B1. If "carnations" is selected in cell A1 then I would like "flowers" to appear (not just be available in the drop down).
How can I get the dropdown list to not include blank cells in the list reguardless if the sort filter is used or not.
Sheet 1 (STATS) is the dropdownlist Cell B12 Sheet 2 (Orders) is the data, I cant convert to tables because the cells are active and storted Column B2: is the data named.
Is is possible to get a dropdown list to show the actual characters as they appear in windings or marlett as shown in the source? When I try I am just getting a load of u's with accents and dots above.
I have a workbook of contracts that I have designed in excel. Each worksheet tab/title is the contract number, i.e. 3487. On each individual contract I have the contact name, address etc. Each cell/field is in the same position on every contract. In other words, every B1 is the Group name, every B2 is the first name, every C2 is the last name, etc. What I'm trying to do is to make a new page with all of the contact info on it so I can make labels etc. I hope this is clear.
I've defined a number of variables in my spreadsheet. When I want to use one I type "=variablename" and 'm presented with a list menu.jpg
In the above example, I have several variables starting with the word "Harvard" (a town, not the university :-)
How do I select one of these without having to double click with the mouse.
Up and down arrows allow me to highlight an item but I cannot find a keystroke that allows me to select the highlighted item. Instead I have to lift my hand off the keyboard and use the mouse.
I have a spreadsheet where user can search for information inside a search box and the appropriate rows are returned using formulas.
I have a drop down list (Category: Model) in the search box as well as a search field (Category: Program, cell D2). Underneath the search box, search rows are returned with column categories: Program, Model, etc.
What I require is that if a user enters the specific program into the search field D2, then the dropdown list would automatically choose which model that program belongs to based on the returned row.
For example, if I typed "engine" into D2 and pressed enter,
Under the records section (Row 14 and beyond), the following record will pop up:
Program Model Indicators
Engine F-16 3a
Based on the record, F-16 would be chosen from the dropdown list. Is there any way this can be done?
I have a validation list drop down box set up to reference data in a defined name list. I would like to be able to select multiple values from this list to appear in one cell (preferably separated by a comma). For example, the defined name list contains the following data:
Choice 1 Choice 2 Choice 3 Choice 4
I would like to be able to populate one cell with the following via the drop down list: Choice2, Choice 4
I have scoured the net for the following and have not been able to find a solution. I have found variations but not something specific for the use needed here.
I have attached a file with sample data which has the following format.
Column 1 = vehicle model (in this example golf, jetta, but there will be over 100 choices)
Column 2 = vehicle package option for specified vehicle model (automatic transmission, manual transmission, automatic transmission with air conditioning, etc...)
Column 3 = vehicle colour available for vehicle package option
Please note that Column 2 values for 'golf' are different than values available for 'jetta' (in the sample data I have blocked out common values with the same colour for quick and easy identification)
Also please note that Column 3 values of colour options vary for each 'vehicle package option'.
The behaviour that would be ideal is to have 3 drop down menus. The first drop down menu will allow selection from column 1 and will show each model only one time and repeated values will not be shown. The second drop down menu will only show the options available based on the selection in the first drop down menu. Likewise, the third drop down menu will show the colour options available based on the selection in the second drop down menu.
Since my data will involve hundreds of unique values in column 1 with plenty more added over time, it seems that the format of the data and the way it is laid out in the attached sample is the easiest way to organize it. It is perhaps also the easiest way to include new data without a lot of reprogramming.
Sample Data - Dependent Drop Down Cells Question.xlsx
I have a sheet where I have a "Status" column in each row which could be "Waiting for Band", "Waiting for Organizer", or "Ready to Go!". These options are set as a data validation list. I have 2 cells later in each row where the response can only be "Yes" or "No". I want for the Status column to be set automatically based on the responses in the later two cells. So for example
where C3 and M3 are Yes, the status column in B3 should read "Ready to Go!" where C3 is no but M3 is yes, the status column should read "Waiting for Organizer" where C3 is no and M3 is no, the status column should read "Waiting for Band"
The above is actually an exhaustive list of all of the potential outcomes(!)
At the moment if a pupil has done foundation listening then I write their numerical result in, for example C3 or if they have done higher listening I write it in F3 (and it works out the UMS and then the grade), but I wondered if there would be any way to just put a dropdown menu in a column for each name, or change it so that I can type in H or F that will change which data is used? Because the UMS and grades are different depending on whether the pupil has done higher or foundation I am unsure how to format it
Column C and D are should be picked from a dropdown list (data is in named range on sheet 3).
The choices that have t become available in a dropdown list in column E (values also in named rnage on sheet 3) should be based on the combination of column C and D.
The choices that have t become available in a dropdown list in column H (values also in named rnage on sheet 3) should be based on the value of column C.
I'm not sure the way it is set up now (as far as it is setup) is the way to go.
I have a drop down list with 6 recipes. When I select chocolate for example I want that to automatically populate different cells in the worksheet based on a standard I have created for that recipe. The recipes won't change they just have different ingredients and I want that to show up depending on what I select on the drop down list. I went into VBA and worked a little with this starting code:
If Target.Address = "$F$3" Then Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = "1"
but It wouldn't populate separately based on what I had selected in the drop down it would just populate all 6 recipes the same.
I have a column of 343 items in E, and their corresponding prices in Row E. I've created a drop down list in numerous cells in Column A for items, and I need to formulate it so that the adjacent cell in Column B for each individual drop down will call the correct prices from E.
I have seen a few threads here about this, but not for how I need it to work.
I will have a drop down list with 8 options, (Days of the week Wed to Wed, hence the 8 days lol) There will now be 8 columns, one for each day.
I want to be able to select the day from the list, and then have it hide all the columns except for the day selected. When a different day is picked, un hide that one and hide the rest.
I would like to auto-fill cells based on what I select from a drop down list.
For Example:
Drop Down List is located in A1(already created). Let's say it lists items like bathroom,front of building, dinning room etc.
I have created on sheet 2 a list of responsibilities for each item on the drop list. The list has a header for example bathroom and a below it list the responsibilities. I did this for every item on the drop list.
Now, is it possible to select bathroom from the drop down land when selected the list I created in sheet 2 show up in the cell next to bathroom? Also, is it possible to have this happen every time i select a different item from the drop down list?
I want to be able to pick a word from a drop down list and for related information to appear in the next cell. I just don't know the function to do it.
Here's an example: I have a list of first names and second names in adjacent columns. Excel question 1.jpg
In the 2nd sheet I have a drop down list of the first names:
Excel question 2.jpg
Is there a function to make the corresponding 2nd name appear in B1 when a first name is selected. I've seen examples where INDIRECT is used to create a dependent drop down list in B1 but I'd like the information to automatically appear.
I am looking to auto generate a roster/schedule. I have a spreadsheet with shifts for each weekday that I need to populate every week with names to pick from a drop down list. the drop down list is made using data validation and looks at a dynamic named range to allow me to select only the people who are available to work a certain shift.
how to create drop down lists which is making a sales forecast template for my small company look pretty jazzy. Of course, now I want more out of it and can't figure it out.
I successfully added a drop down list for a sales person to pick a supplier, let's say their selection populates cell E4. Once selected, the next cell over (F4) gives them another drop down list with the products made by that particular supplier. The next cell over (G4) is in a column titled "Unit Cost", how can I make the Unit Cost cell populate automatically when the product selection is made in F4?
NOTE: My "lists" are on Sheet 1 along with my working spreadsheet. I have a Suppliers List, Products List (for each supplier), and anticipate I will need a Price List for each Product List, right?
Once I finish the spreadsheet can I cut and paste all the data to sheet 2 (I put it 100 rows below my spreadsheet to hide it)?
