I need to create a BOTH box that will dynamically pull names from both the "Chicago Office" & "Seattle Office" columns in my sheet. It is extremely preferable to do this without VB Script if possible to avoid the security warnings on opening the sheet. (Our IT department will not budge on this..)
Detail:
I have two lists of employees. Column A lists the Chicago Office employees. Column B lists the Seattle Office employees. I've been able to successfully define named ranges to work with these as dynamic lists. I can append names, or delete names, and the Chicago, or Seattle boxes (drop downs created with data validation formulas inside named ranges) will reflect the updated names correctly. I have been unable to make a single drop down with all the names from both offices, that is updated dynamically. I've attached a sheet so that this is easier to understand. Basically I need the "BOTH" drop down to actually work.
The Chicago range is defined as:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$11,0,0, COUNTA(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$11),1)
The Seattle range is defined as:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$11,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$11),1)
In the boxes on the right of the lists, I just have a Data Validation List formula as:
=Chicago and the other as =Seattle
I have a question on the above but can't seem to find a solution. There are two ways that I can find for dealing with dynamic lists via data validation:-
1) Offset and match, cavet being the data must be sorted a-z 2) Have lists for each potential selection
Is there any way to get around 1 without having to do 2? E.g. Got two columns of data, unsorted, and a list from which the user can choose from. The user chooses from the list in first cell, in the second cell require the dynamic list to return all the values accordingly?
I have a vehicle intake-form in which users have to enter vehicle data.
I also have a huge list containing make/model information.
I would like to be able to use this database in the following way : I want the user to select the make in cell A1 , and then the model in cell B1. It must be possible to choose for example the make "BMW" in cell A1 and then cell B1 should only display the BMW models, and not all others that are present in the list...
I tried to use Data Validation with a list of choices, this works fine for the make (A1) ; but how do I make the list used for Data Validation on B1 dynamically related to the value in cell A1 !
I've got a list of IP address in a column, between some others. I basically need to copy the cell in a new column if the value match a criteria, and in an other column if not. e.g.
columnX new1 new2 a a b b a b a a a a a b
it could be easy with a simple if condition, but that would create some empty cells. So is anyone has an idea on how I could do that ? (I guess I could do it with VBA but I would prefer to find an easier solution as I'm not really confident with my VBA skills)
1) Imagine i have a row 1 with names, column 1 with bank account numbers, and under each name corresponding to each bank account it says "yes" or "no" depending on whether or not they are authorized on the bank account. How do i make 2 drop down lists, 1 with bank account numbers that produces the names which are authorized on the account and visa versa (list with names showing bank a/c numbers). It needs to be able to be updated easily.
2) Suppose I have the table as described above and another excel file with 1 column as bank a/c's and another column is authorized bank users. In this column however each cell just has a bunch of names for example one cell may contain (james, john, jack, jennifer, bill). Is there anyway to check these names against the ones in the table from the other spread sheet?
So I have several columns of data that have a location and then some numbers after it in additional columns. I need to be able to sort it so that all locations that are in both location columns are sorted first, and then any locations that are in one column but not the other column follows. Also the data associated with each column that follows the location needs to remain next to the location. Many times the columns will be of highly disportionate lengths too.
I've attached an HTML table so you can get an idea of what I am looking at, except what I'm dealing with is like.... hundreds of cells long.
And in this 6 row example, I'd actually only be interested in the 4 letters that were in both columns. If it makes it easier, I would be okay with discarding the last rows, but would rather just have them sorted at the end, so I could check if....for example there were two different spellings of the same thing, and they should actually be included.
I am trying to create a dynamic, unique listing. I have two data lists (expanding 45,000 rows). They are as follows. I CANNOT use macros due to security constraints :
ARGENTINE PESO ··············Cash Account 1 ARGENTINE PESO ··············Cash Account 2 ARGENTINE PESO ··············Cash Account 3 AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR ·········Cash Account 1 AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR ·········Cash Account 4 AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR ·········Cash Account 7 AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR ·········Cash Account 9 AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR ·········Cash Account 15
I basically want to be able to type "Cash Account 1" in my control cell, and have a dynamic dropdown created that only summarises those currencies available in that cash account, so in this instance, it would be both ARGENTINE PESO and AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR. I have created a solution, but due to the 45,000 row range, it is very processor heavy, and I would like to be quicker i.e. type the cash account you want to analyse, and the combo box / data validation dropdown(?) will only show relevant currencies. I do not mind using helper cells and / or a master sheet to analyse each currency for true/false. Also, the columns can be reversed if that makes it easier.
I have a spreadsheet where I keep all records of all the rock climbing I have done.
I am after a way of choosing a climbing area either by data validation or combo box (already set up as a named range) and then the climb names available in another validation list shows only those from that particular climbing area.
From what I have seen from various web sites it seems the climbing area names need to be in a unique list (is this correct). My sheet looks like the following:
Column A | Column B (climbing area) | Column C (climb name) Date | Mt Arapiles | Agent Orange Date | Mt Arapiles | Auto Da Fe Date | Morialta | Asgard Date | Morialta | Al Sirrat Date | Buckaringa Gorge | Agent Orange
The name in the climbing area column will be repeated often.
The climb name should be unique to each climbing area, but the climb name my be repeated in another climbing area.
The climbing areas are anamed range on a separate worksheet. The details of the climbs has all the details of the climb i.e. the Climb Name; Climbing Area (VLookup); Grade ; Distance ; Single or Multi Pitch ; Lengths of each Pitch.
I already have a working example of the spreadsheet (220KB) but it currently works backwards i.e. I use validation to find the climb name and then this uses the INDEX function to return the climbing area.
I would like to be able to choose the climbing area and then the next available choices would be limited to that climbing area.
what i need to do is display a list of items, with a dropdown box next to each item. the dropdown boxes are identical. for each item in the list (e.g. each musician), the user should be able to select an item from the box ("percussion", "horn", "string").
my problem is that the number of items in the list is not set, so the list of name labels, dropdown boxes, etc needs to be generated dynamically. is it possible to generate a list of labels/dropdown boxes using a loop? (as i understand it, this would involve writing code to write code.)
This is somewhat related to a post I had submitted previously but a bit more complex http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?p=2139259. I have following code, which sorts data if user "double clicks" on cells A1, B1, C1, D1, or E1.
If the user "double clicks" on cell D1, I want to sort by column D using following custom list: AA1, AA2, AA3, A1, A2, A3, ZZ1, ZZ2, ZZ3, Z1, Z2, Z3. If the user "double clicks" on cell E1, I want to sort by column E using following custom list: AAA+, AAA, AAA-, AA+, AA, AA-, A+, A, A-, ZZZ+, ZZZ, ZZ+, ZZ-, Z+, Z, Z-
The issue I seem to be encountering is that I can’t use more than one custom list (e.g., if I use the column D sort list for column D, column E is also using the same list). I can’t seem to apply individual lists to each column. Would I need to “hardcode” the lists in my macro?
is to have a folder where I drop multiple workbooks from different stores. There can be 1 or more workbooks at any given time in that folder. Each workbook is a different size as far as the information inside. Next I need to transfer certain columns to the Master Workbook and also have the store location added to the Master workbook (File Name). I have highlighted the store information that needs to be merged to the master, Store 1, Store 2. For reference I have attached a copy of the Main Folder which is on my desktop C:Documents and SettingsDesktopInventory.
I am attaching a file with an example of a spreadsheet that I am trying to sort out. In this example I have 3 samples (I could have many more). Each sample has 8 columns associated with it (N, M, I, F, S, MS, KM and KD). The length of the dataset is different for each sample. The MS column is the same as M but contains a few zeroes. What I am trying to do is:
1) generate one column (MSA) containing only unique values (no zeroes) from columns MS1, MS2 and MS3. The unique values should be selected within a specified tolerance (for example, 0.001, which makes 52.00706 from MS1 and 52.00701 from MS2 duplicate values although they are not exactly the same)
2) generate 3 columns ( named SS1, SS2 and SS3) with sorted columns S1, S2, and S3 so that for each value of MS in column MSA each of the three columns will list the corresponding value of S1, S2 and S3 (zero if there is no corresponding value)
I am trying to set up a spreadsheet with linked dynamic drop down lists, based on a table.Using the OFFSET function, I have managed to get this to work if the table is on the SAME sheet at the drop down lists. But I want to be able to put the drop down lists onto a different sheet, so that I can lock and hide the table.
I don't want to use the 'name based on the previous column' idea, as the table is large and will change weekly. the drop downs show all values, even duplicates, which I would like to get rid of.
I have a large list of items and have set up some dynamic drop down lists but need to know if/how to make these lists only show each item once and therefore ignore any duplicates.
In the attached example I have a column of data on worksheet 2. Extra rows will frequently be added and removed from the column. I want to use that column of data to populate a validation drop down box for a whole column of cells on sheet 1. (Target cells coloured yellow for demonstration purposes)
I don’t want the validation drop down to be full of blank rows so I set up a dynamic named range to refer to the column on Sheet2. It all works really well...but...only for cell D6 on sheet 2. It doesn’t work on any of the other target cells on sheet 2 or on sheet 1. I have been looking at this for far too long and it has begun hurting my brain.
I update a daily incident report that is sorted by priority of the request as well as the date/time. In the past, I've recorded and run macro's to add a number to a priority so that it can sort numerically. Lately I've been tasked with building similar functionality into more reports. I am wondering whether I can tell Excel what order to sort items into (ie "Sort by HIGH, then MEDIUM-HIGH, then MEDIUM, then LOW)?
With regards to auto-fill lists (for want of the proper name), I report on multiple IT systems that fall into six "system" categories. Is there a way I can set up the "System" column to automatically update the correct data once the IT service is entered, rather than manually look up systems category then click the relevant system in the drop down box?
in a sheet I have two cells using data validation and dropdowns - the source for the first cell is a static named range - no problems. The source of the second cell is dependent on the value in the first cell and the sources are dynamic named ranges. The dynamic ranges in cell#2 is named according to the value in cell#1 and I therefore have referenced the ranges using the INDIRECT function - but this only works with static ranges.
In the data validation source field for cell#2 I have the following formula: =IF($A$1="",the_full_range,INDIRECT($A$1))
I have been using Excel to create equipment lists for my work. The forum has helped me by creating a visual basic macro to create a 'final list' sheet compiled from the other source worksheets.
On my 'final list' sheet I need the first 10 rows to be left out of the macro’s so that I can add header information like job reference etc. I have tried altering the visual basic code by adjusting the row numbers in it so that it starts at row 10 but this keep's on producing error codes. This is due to my limited knowledege of what each line does.
I also wish to be able to paste new equipment into the final list sheet. When I do this at the moment the code does not recognise it is there and does not carry the information accross back into the source sheet. It is the same when I block select an area and delete the code does not recognise I have done this which is fustrating.
I am hoping to have, on another sheet, a series of dependent drop boxes- Year, Quarter, Month, SKU- which after selecting then displays 'dataA' & 'dataB'.
So you could select- List 1: 2013 ----> List 2: Q1 ----> List 3: Jan ----> SD-21.................and then 13% and 0.05% are displayed.
The data will be continuously added to and so needs to be based on a dynamic data range.
I know that a pivot table is the perfect way to do this, however my bosses have requested that I do not use that format so it is easy for all staff to access.
So I think I need to construct some sort of dashboard sheet, I have experimented with OFFSET from other posts, but so far have had no joy.
how best to do this (bare with me I'm not quite a pro at excel yet!). I'll attach my doc (JMP Excel Forum) so you know what I'm taking about. I've set up the data to work in a similar way to this, as you can see I've a table set up (Appliance Sheet) which feeds information to the Main Sheet which contains the drop down lists.
What I need it to do is autofill the wattage column (Main!F8 onwards) with the wattage for the device as described in Appliance!N3 or N4 for example. For the wattage column to equal 28 (equivalent to Appliance!N3) then the following would show in the dropdown selections Type>Computers SubCategory>Monitors Device>BENQ G2222HDL Status>On
Is there a way to do this with the set up I have?
I did have a previous version of the whole worksheet that each Device had its own table and I looked up the wattage using and If formula to lookup a info on the device and knowing where to look it up based on the subcategory
And I got it to work but it was getting to cumbersome to add in new devices and update the formulas. If attached that doc (OLD) so you know what I'm talking about. The last two sheets are the same sheets that make up the new document (JMP Excel Forum)OLD.xlsm
I really prefer the new way I've got it set up. Its easier to add new information or options to the dropdown list
I have a spreadsheet that ranks the 500 components of the S&p 500 on an ongoing intraday basis. I would like to have the sheet sorted automatically as it is updated. I have very limited VB skills. Also, I heard there is a feature on excel 2007 that performs this function.
I have a Ranking tab that has the persons name, weeks, months that subtotal into 2 columns, MTD and YTD. I have set up with 2 Macros to sort based on two columns based on their selection of MTD or YTD.
What I did not take into consideration is if a person was added at the bottom of the list.
Is there a way to modify this to include rows that may be added?
I currently have two tables in one worksheet showing the sales of different region.
The problem is, when I sort the data in the table (I can't used the named ranges as it should exclude the first row which is the header), is there a way I can make it dynamic too??
**Attached, please find the example spreadsheet, I have only written the code for the first table.
How might the code below be changed to handle any number of rows? Right now it's set (from a recorded macro) to go down through row 237, but I need it to sort anything from just a few to maybe a thousand.
I'm trying to write a code to sort a variable-sized data range on several sheets. A sql query populates several sheets with data in N rows, where N varies based on query parameters).
I get a run-time error on the .sort command (method range of object global failed). i think this has to do with sorting by the same column on multiple sheets and haven't been able to debug it myself.
Sub sort() Dim lastrow As Integer Dim rows As Integer Dim sheetarray As Variant Dim colarray As Variant Dim i As Integer
am working on a spreadsheet that requires sorting a list of names and numbers. The numbers have a sum formula attached. I can set up the macro to sort the list fine by selecting the appropriate cells and creating the macro.
The code for this is below
Sub SurnameSort() ' ' SurnameSort Macro ' Sorts by mechanic surname '
' Range("A10:H13").Select Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("B10"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess _ , OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _ DataOption1:=xlSortNormal End Sub
However, I want the macro to still be able to sort the data when I add new rows to the list later on. In other words, the code above in bold somehow needs to be modified so that "H13" extends as far down as needed.
I have a list of letting agents that I need to sort into a table to import into Access. The list is dynamic in that not all the fields are present for every record. I will have over 4000 records to sort out, so I would really like to automate this. If possible the macro should read rows from the data worksheet and write to columns and rows on the Table worksheet. I have attached a small example of the data and output required. To make it a little more challenging the column header name is part of the data and will need stripping out as well.
We have 2 dynamic ranges (input, output) on different sheets (sample data below).
Sheet1> Input Dynamic range 5 columns
Sheet 2>Output Dynamic range 4 columns - Include only rows IN=1 - Sorted by LEVEL (BIG to SMALL) and BUY (SMALL to BIG) - Keep duplicates
What formulas should I place on Sheet2 avoiding Pivot tables or VBA?
Sheet1> Input (16 data rows) A B C D E Level Buy Sell Firm IN 16620 4.00 null F1 OUT 16610 5.10 0.80 F1 OUT 16600 11.40 6.60 F1 1 16590 24.50 18.60 F1 1 16580 44.90 37.10 F1 1 16570 66.90 59.60 F1 1 16560 84.40 78.70 F1 1 16550 95.00 90.30 F1 1 16540 99.80 95.60 F1 OUT 16530 100.00 98.00 F1 OUT 16611 6.66 0.497 F2 OUT 16600 9.09 1.96 F2 OUT 16589.1 20 12.5 F2 1 16578.2 41.66 33.33 F2 1 16567.3 73.33 65.21 F2 1 16556.4 90.9 84.61 F2 1 16545 98.5 91.66 F2 OUT
