I have created a Data Validation list in one of my spreadsheets which works fine. The list itself has no duplicates which is fine but when I select my entries in the other spreadsheet, I want to make sure they cannot select the same value twice.
I tried selecting "List" in data validation and using an AND with COUNTIF but it doesn't work.
=AND(Employees, countif($A$1:$A$20,A1)=1)
I have a scenario where a cell has to be restricted based on the user input of another cell, also it should allow only Yes or No values.
ex:column A
column B
pending response
submitted
User should be allowed to enter a value in column B as "yes" or "No" only when column A has a value "Submitted"
I referred the thread to restrict entering the data [URL]...
However not able to add list as well.
I am trying to create a drop down list that when selected will display data in the 10 rows below and 4 columns, so a total of 40 cells. I would like the data to be based on the selection in the drop down list.
The data looks like this,
RequirementsQtyResourcesQty
Level 1 Sentinel10Level 1 Sentinel105
Level 2 Sentinel10Level 2 Sentinel167
Level 3 Sentinel10Level 3 Sentinel156
Level 1 Banga20Level 1 Banga401
Level 2 Banga20Level 2 Banga307
Level 4 Banga20Level 4 Banga0
i have 27 different combinations of the above list with up to 10 different rows. I have a label for each one, but i cannot get the rows below my drop down list to display the proper values base don the selection in the drop down list.
I am creating a Spreadsheet to work with a game which I am designing. I want to create a combat calculator which will generate formulas based on which class a person chooses to be, and their choice of weapons, armour and other equipment (makes things a lot easier for me to visualize). I have created the first worksheet which will act as the interface where users can input their character configurations and a second worksheet where all of the data is stored, included items and their values.
Assuming that on the interface I have cell A1 which will let the user select their class (Warrior, Archer, Sorcerer).
I also have cells B1 = Helmet, B2 = Body Armour, B3 = Leg Armour, B4 = Feet Armour, B5 = Hand Armour.
I would like cells B1:B5 to create a Data Validation based on the class which is selected in A1.
E.g.
IF A1="Warrior"; B1 = A list of Melee Helmets, B2 = A list of Melee Body Armour... etc
IF A1="Sorcerer"; B3 = A list of Magic Leg Armour...
I have managed to do this with the following formula, but only if the data is stored in the same sheet.
Cell B1
=IF(A1="Warrior", =meleeArmour1, =IF(A1="Archer", =rangeArmour1, =magicArmour1))
Cell B2
=IF(A1="Warrior", =meleeArmour2, =IF(A1="Archer", =rangeArmour2, =magicArmour2))
[NOTE]
=meleeArmour1 represents the range of cells where the Melee Helmets/Head Armour is stored.
=magicArmour2 represents the range of cells where the Magic Body Armour is stored.
The group cell names do not seem to work if they are on a different sheet, nor does it work if I replace the group cell name (=meleeArmour1) with the full formula (=Sheet2!A$1$:A$10$)
I'm working on a employee evaluation form. I'm using a Pass/Fail system.
I have a cell designated for PASS & one for FAIL. In these cells, I would put
"YES" if they passed, "YES" if they failed that section.
How can I prevent someone from mistakingly entering Yes in both cells?
I've generated a sheet where, based on the total run hours of a generator set using a given fuel type, we can determine which engine to run on what fuel when. The problem I've run into is that if more than one engine has the same runtime, the chart returns just the lowest numbered engine and eliminates the remaining engine(s). What I'm trying to do is make it so that when this occurs, the suggested engines show up in numerical order. For example instead of 1, 1, and 1 showing up on the chart, something like 1, 2, and 5 will show when they all have 0 run hours. I've attached my chart below with some engines having the same runtimes. RunOrder.xlsx
View 5 Replies View RelatedCurrent program i use follows these steps:
-Empty cells
-Remove comments
- Fill Headers
- Retrieve Data (From the path Results (a subdirectory))
- Sort on date and time (column D)
My Problem: The programma now used retrieves every file in the subdirectory again and again.
If it has like 100-200 files it takes a very long time.
Is it possible to make a function for this that only retrieves files when the filename is not imported already? (Title is in the D Column)
Wish: a function that retrieves only the required data and skips measuring data thats already there.
On a worksheet I want 4 cells to have validation, when a selection in the first cell is made this limits the choice in the second, when the second is selected then the third is limited by 1 and 2 and the forth will be limited by 1,2, and 3.
In the attached example data , if I choose a Region, I have a choice of Countries. When I choose a Country I am limited to valid Cities and when I have chosen a City then a list of applicable Agents will be available. I have used NamedRanges for a two dimensional lookup but for four and my list will be far bigger than the sample, I do not fancy maintaining numerous NamedRanges.
In MS Excel, I find that when the zoom is dropped to 50% the fonts in the
list become unreadable. Is there anyway that the fonts in the list have the
ability to have their own formats?
I need to edit multiple validations in a worksheet. There are over 990 validation for each month. I want to change the word in the sentence. Example: April to May. Right now I have to edit each one seperatly. I have tried a macro but it changes to whole sentence. Find and replace do not allow editing in a validation.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an excel spread sheet, Col I is a Date, Col K is a Date, Col P is a date and Col T is a text(with list validation) I have validation that if if T = "As is" and P <> I or K (which ever one has a value) then Error. Add Type:=xlValidateCustom, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:=xlBetween, Formula1:="=IF(T2= ""Accept as is"",(IF(P2=(IF(K2<>"""",K2,I2)),TRUE, FALSE)), TRUE)"
But if the user changes T to some other value then it is ok to change P, But they could put any value in that field. I Need to validate that P is a DATE also
I was trying to do a validation Greater than > 01/01/2007 but I can not do multiple validations on the same cell. How can I validate P is a date also
There are multiple training sessions that will be rolling out in Q1 13 and my manager needs a way to track which empolyees have been to which training sessions. Easy enough. He wants something extremely clean looking, but obviously efficient. What he described to me (his vision) is to have the training sessions listed into columns with drop down under each that contain every employee's name. So when a training session is held, he can easily click the drop down beneath the session title and select multiple persons that were in attendance. Right now I just have all the employees listed in column A and all the training sessions listed across the top and anticipated just putting a "x" in the box for the session that each person attends. This will accomplish exactly what he's looking for, but if what he's describing is remotely possible I would like to do that.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to filter a list. Within the filter I want to copy a selection of cells and hard copy the formula in those cells (copy paste special values). It is possible to selected the cell and copy them but one cannot paste on a filtered range. The error message I get is "The command cannot be used on multiple selection".
View 2 Replies View Relatedbelow is an excel file with a UserForm.
The goal here is to select the worksheets in one list box and transfer it to another. Multiple Selection is allowed. I am having 2 question i am struggling with.
Question 1 -
When passing the sheet names from List Box 1 to List Box 2 (using Add button) i would like the selected items of List Box 1 to be deleted after transfer. I thought i could access this using the command below but it does not work properly -> error message.
UF_PI_LINK_1.LB_SheetList.RemoveItem UF_PI_LINK_1.LB_SheetList.List(i)
Question 2 -
When the user is done the ListBox 2 need to be stored. When I save then close my workbook and then reopen it, i would like to be able to access the selection that the user has made before closing the worksheet. How can I store the content of ListBox 2 to achieve such a result. I guess i could use a use a hidden Worksheet where i could store the selection into some cells but i would like to know if there is a pure VB solution.
I need to lookup & count the number of cells from column I to BH with values greater than 0 in sheet 2 and return the results to the corresponding list of items in sheet 1. However, the data in sheet 2 have duplicate list of items and may have duplicate values as well from Column I to BH which I wanted to be counted as 1 only. I'm attaching a file as a reference.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've created a worksheet with a number of dropdowns / data validations. Now the thing with these validations is the source range apparently has to be in the same sheet (well it can be another one but much simpler if in the same). I've just realized I created them in the wrong place, so need to erase them. Pressing the delete key isnt working though, they're still there. I could right-click delete but that then requires one to move cells up/right etc and that could mess with my formulas.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am using a modified version of Debra Dalgleish's filtercopy macro in which 3 data validations are being used (she used 1 in her downloadable example ProductList. zip) and it works just fine when the validations are used in order as they should be. However, in looking over the data I am trying to present in my report I think it would be very valuable to use the first and third validations at times (skipping the 2nd) to discern information in that way. Long story short, I can't seem to get this to work and don't know if it's even possible because I'm not a VBA expert.

I have a list set up with a bunch of different locations and I want to break them down into their regions.
So I created my list of regions, but what I want to see is if I can limit the number of locations to select from after the region is selected. If the region is not selected, than a location can not be selected yet.
For example use, my drop down list for Region is in A1 and my drop down list for Location is in A2. The Region variables are in D1:D8 and my Location variables are in E1:E32.
Also, if the region is not selected, than a location can not be selected yet.
I have a worksheet with a Change Event and a Selection Change Event.
When a cell is changed first the Change Event triggers and after that the Selection Change Event Triggers.
I have implemented a solution whereby I set Application.EnableEvents = False so that the 2nd Selection Change Event does not trigger.
However, the problem is that I need to turn EnableEvents back to True so that it can continue monitoring for events.
Is there a way to either only allow 1 event to trigger? Or is there a way to turn the Events back on after a pause of a 1 second or so?
I want to load the actual data exist in the rows by selection value from the data validation list.
E.g I have two worksheet in one excel file. One has a data activities of persons with their name like two columns i have in which one exist the name of person and second exist the activities which they perform.
On the second sheet, i made a data validation list of all the person names
Now my requirement is, when i select a person name from the list, load all the data from the 1st sheet to second sheet. Is this possible without VB code, because I want to share it on the Google sheet with my boss, where VB sheet is not supposed to work.
I'd like to create a drop down list in data validation from a column of data that contains numerous duplicates.
For example, let's say column A contained hundreds of transactions with either North, South, East and West, how could I create a drop down list in another cell that only had four selection options?
I'm loosing the validations that I set up such as having a dropdown list and so on when I save and reopen the file. First I thought I didn't save it, but notice it happening consistently.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have search the site for a possible solution for my problem. And that is: how to create multiple lists using validation – depending on each other.
The scenario is. I have a data sheet that contains a list of alien plant species. The species have different methods of treatments (some do have the same). Each treatment might have one or more herbicide products that can be used and with each herbicide a certain application mixture.
I have used validation to create the pick list of the plants, the next pick list should be the treatment for the selected plant species and the 3rd list the product and then last list the mixture.
All of these lists should only list the information that is relevant to the selected plant specie, in the first list.
I have a list of data that currently has a conditional format on it of =COUNTIF($F$2:$F2,$F1)>1 so that it will highlight the duplicate but keep the first entry blank. I wondered whether there is a way to identify the last duplicate in the list. i imagine this could be done in a column say with an "L".
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium. Although this file is saved with Excel 97-2003 - because the computers at work only use 2003.
OK - Here is my dilemma. I've been creating a spread(work)sheet for work. One of the fields that needs to be entered by the manager doing the papwerwork is 'Date'. I currently have the Data-Validation set as follows because the paperwork being done is for the yesterday:
Code:
=TODAY()-1
I have the Error Alert set to Warning prompting the manager to ensure the date is correct (sometimes a mid-shift audit is being done, so the actual current date has to be used). Now, what I am wanting to do is to also set it that if the manager set's the date for a future date, I would like Excel to also either do a Warning or a Critical displaying a message that future dates cannot be used.
I know this may sound trivial, but with this paperwork, dates are extremely critical and vital in the event of an investigation for cash shortages etc.
I have uploaded the excel sheet to my domain, which I can provide a link to - either here or in a private message - but I do not want to do so unless I know that it's ok to do. If so, I will reply with a link to the location of the Excel file.
I am facing problem in finding the second large value while my list is having duplicate data.
For Example
my numbers are:-
12,65,45,12,87,90,65,87
if I want to find out the top four value by using the formula:-
=large(A1:A8,{1;2;3;4})
the result is coming like: - 90,87,87,65
instead of this I want the result as: - 90,87,65,45.
I have a spreadsheet that needs to have a validation drop down list in three cells in every row (D, E, F). There are three items in the list, say, "One", "Two" and "Three".
My only problem is that there can only be one entry of "One" in each row.
In A1 to A10 I have numbers 1 through 10.
In B1 to B10 I have some of the numbers listed from column A, but not all, and in no particular order.
In column C, I would like to list only numbers from A that are not listed in B.
On Sheet 1 I have Data Validation Lists set up. On Sheet 2 I have the information populating from what is entered on Sheet 1, only problem is...when I don't have anything entered in the cell(s) on Sheet 1 then the cell(s) on Sheet 2 reflect 0. I would like the cell(s) to remain blank if nothing is entered on Sheet 1.
