I've also attached an example excel spreadsheet of how I was thinking the first page would lay out.
I work for a company that has multiple properties around my region here. We all deal with similar companies and temporary workers, and what i'd like to do is set up an online document (using google docs?) where we can all go online with our login, search the document, and even add entries, as well as comment and rate on entries already existing. I may be stretching the boundaries of what excel can do, but I really don't want to start diving into programming something.. if it can be done this seems like the easiest way to accomplish this task.
Here's a quick summary of what I'm thinking (and use the attached as a visual example)
the first page will be the only place people will really "look" at. On there it will have searchable areas to load a list of names based on criteria (name/partial name/letter, as well as maybe a drop down or check box of specific standards the company or worker deals with like lighting/audio/video/etc)... In my mind the company or worker could specialize in more than one of these areas.
once you hit the search button, it will populate a list of names based off of that search. Inside of that scrollable box will be the name of the company/worker, and some ratings (it could be stars or even a number percent) - the name itself would be clickable, then next to that would be a button to rate the company/worker, and a button to comment. If you click on rating it would pop up a box to add a percent. that percentage would add a field on another page and the total average rating is what is displayed. If you click on comment, a pop up box would come up and they would be able to add a quick comment on that company or worker. Once they click add on that it would add/append that comment onto another page in the database with the time/date stamp.
In the next section, when you click on a name from the search, that contacts information will pop up in a pre-defined format. Clicking on a different name would replace all of the information with the new contacts information sort of "dynamically" loading the content each time from a separate sheet that has all of that information. Nothing in here will be clickable, just a nice laid out viewport of the information that's been entered for that company or worker with address/phone number/rating/etc.
Then finally in the last section would be a scrollable box that would pop up all of the comments that have been added for that person with a date/time stamp for each comment.
As far as rating system.. i was beating myself up a bit about how to do that, but ultimately not many people would have access to it so I'm not worried about individual hits.. as far as I'm concerned people can rate more than once, it would just add to it and it would average those ratings.
I have a nested if formula that isn't working and I know there is a real simple fix. Here is the situation: If Company A (A1) and Company B (B1) both have indices greater than 125, I want that to show that in my recommendation. For example: I used if(A1>125&B1>125,"Company A and Company B",if(A1>125,"Company A", if(B1>125,"Company B","None"))). For whatever reason, the first nested if statement isn't working correctly. what I am doing wrong with this if/and statement?
I have a range which will change in size & in content, & I want this to be a Named Range at whatever size it is.
Reason I want to is because I want to make a Validation List with this dynamic range. I also want a Validation list which lists the content of 2 or more dynamic ranges which may or may not be on the same worksheet - is this possible?
i.e. First dynamic range: called "Milestones" at A11 Second dynamic range: called "Activities" at A25 & make a Validation list that will list content of both
I have a dynamic table which is linked to a couple of charts. The table must remain dynamic.
I needed to add two new columns to the table, "Focus Area" and "Category". I need a drop down list in the "Category" column to be dependent on the item selected from a drop down menu in "Focus Area".
I can get the first row of the dynamic table to do this.... however; subsequent rows all lock the drop down list in the "Category" column to the same choices regardless of what is chosen in the "Focus Area" list.
Is there a way to make dynamic drop downs within a dynamic table?
I've attached a spreadsheet showing the effect I'm trying to achieve. A list (which changes weekly) contains employee details and length of service. Based on the length of service I need to build a new list grouping the employees based on the service length.
I've got access to a website that you input a bank account sorting code, and it tells you which bank it relates to. I've got a file with several thousand a month to check. It need a login and password but I've got them, so could have the screen open.
On the website, I enter the sortcode into a field, and it returns the bank who owns that sort code onto the screen as selectable text.
Is it possible, using VBA, to fill in the input field, press the search button, and snag the value returned in the text box?
I want to web query an online database. One of the columns contains numbers 16 digits long. When Excel imports the query I get the number in exponential format and it replaces the last number with a zero.
Example: The original is 1002002660100027, after query ends up as 1.002E+15 and reformated as text I get 1002002660100020 (Last # changed to a "0")
Is there a way to prevent the query from replacing the last number with a zero when importing from a query? Or.. can I get the query to paste as text?
We want to share an excel sheet online, where we can go to and edit and save it. And possibly link the fields to a dB to build a website from. Anyways what is the best cheapest way of doing this? I googled and found so much stuff, was hoping someone here has already gone thru this process and can just point me to the best one....
How can I create a vlookup function to automatically retrieve phone numbers off switchboard.com using my current mailing list?
I have a list of more than 4,000 of my customers. I want to ad in phone numbers automatically. I currently have the first and last name in one column. The address, city, state and zip are all each in their own column.
I have never use vlookup before, nor have I ever used excel other than for data entry. What is the easiest and most efficient way to do this?
I searched this site and seen vlookup mentioned for this type of automatic data entry. There may be another way or method I am not aware of.
I have been tasked with streamlining a process to collect data from a specific online website (Web of Science) and import it into an Excel 2010 spreadsheet.
Currently they are going to the website, entering a short number of search parameters and then manually recording the pertinent data from the webpage. They would like to be able to enter a keyword in Excel (which acts as the search item) which then automatically does the rest of the process and provides them with a spreadsheet of the required data.
Is this possible? Perhaps by using Visual Basic code within Excel? I also saw a method that employed SharePoint Server 2010.
I am seeking some code that will check that the PC / Laptop has an online ethernet connection via it's NIC (Network interface card). I want it to output to the spread sheet to a Conditional cell (Connected / unconnected).
I'm working on an Excel based product. As part of the security process I would like to require the user to enter a product id key into excel. Then the spreadsheet would compare the entered value to some kind of online database to verify the id key is valid. Finally, the spreadsheet would update the online database so that the id key is no longer functional. How easy is this to do?
I know verifying that the id key is valid is fairly simple.
Here is my biggest issue: How to get Excel to update the database and of course what form would this database take. Maybe its a table on a webpage, or google docs. Again the issue is how would I be able to update the table.
is it possible to have an dynamic list, so that when I add in a new entry in to the input column, the output column will automatically change to the same thing. Also then my dropdown will realise a new entry has been inputted (uses the output list) and the list will update to show this.
I am trying to do a dynamic drop down. The left one is working fine, where as the right one is not. (see example) I just cannot get a complete list, even though I am using the same formula.
I've trawled the internet for an answer to this problem with no luck, but I'm sure with your immense knowledge you guys will have the answer. Basically, I have a provider list offering different types of activities and I'd like a dashboard where you can select an activity type from a drop down menu and this will display the provider details that offer that particular activity. I enclose a sample of the provider list for information.
I have a table in a workbook with names in the left column and top row. The intersecting data fill the rows under and to the right of these named areas. I need to keep this table in its own workbook, because many sheets in other workbooks will access its info. I have linked this workbook information to a sheet in each of my accessing workbook. I call this sheet "DataLink" and it is a sheet that uses an If(Original Data Ref Cell="","",Original Data Ref Cell). This works well at bring the data into my active workbook.
My active sheet has 2 drop down lists. One for the top row of names on the DataLink Sheet, and one for the left column. I have used the Offset Function refering to cells with the countif and count functions in my Data Validation setup to make the addition of the names in the DataLink Sheet Dynamic. This also is working well.
In my Taget cell (CeIl where I will get my answers) I use the Indirect(row) indirect(column) to retrieve my intersecting data relate the the row and column. This works well as long as I establish my defined names of each column and row with Ctrl-Shift-F3 and choose (Top and Left)
Now my problem. Although I can dynamically add the names to my drop down list I cannot retrieve the data from new entries on my DataLink Sheet(remember coming into active workbook from outside source) unless each time I return to my DataLink Sheet,and highlight the entire range of cells and do a new Ctrl-Shift-F3, which then ask me if I want to replace each name one by one. I have some 700 names defined. And this is disconcerting to say the least. Is there a way to add code to automatically add the contents of a cell as a defined name. This way as my information from my original data workbook enters the DataLink Sheet in each of my Active workbooks, new names that appear in the left column and top row will be defined as have intersecting data under them.
i am SAP developer and i m working on SAP - excel integration. i am fetching data from SAP tables in to excel and in each row of the excel i want to create a dynamic list box and populate dynamic values.
i know the logic for data fetching but not logic for cretion of list box dynamically and handling events of dynamic list boxes..
I have a sheet (database) which has dymamic validation lists based on a another sheet called "look ups". The problem I have is When I choose any of the validation drop downs there are two blank entries at the bottom and the cursor is on the first one of these. I would like the cursor to be on the first entry in the validation list
have data in the attached file arranged as follows:
"Source Data" sheet Data in columns A to L will be updated daily by pasting from another workbook. On any given day the data in columns A to L may have more or fewer rows than the day before.
"Lookup Table" sheet The aim is to return the data from the "Source Data" sheet; the selection depends on the Data Validation choice in cell O1.
I would like to be able to sort this dynamic list of data - ideally by clicking a single button - in descending order of the values in column L.
I have a successful dropdown menu that removes items that have already been selected through the dropdown list, however, I need it to be able to handle IDENTICAL items. At the moment, it can only handle unique items.
I'm trying to create a Rota Planner. I have a selection of shifts that need to be selected for each day. Some shifts are repeated (meaning that there may be 4 members of staff on the same shift). As ONE of each of the 4 shifts are selected, I then want only 3 to be displayed in the dropdown menu to be selected, until all of them have been selected.
I've tried to break apart the code that provides dynamic dropdown list for UNIQUE values but I'm tearing my hair out and getting nowhere.
I have created a userform where I have a combo box and an options box. I want the combo box to reference a specific list of values. And if the check box is selected, I want the same combo box to reference a different list of values. This is the present syntax I am using. For some reason, The value of the check box does not alter the list in my macro.
Private Sub Userform_Initialize() If chkHeader.Value = True Then cmbSort1.Clear With cmbSort1 .AddItem Range("A1") .AddItem Range("B1") .AddItem Range("C1")
How do you calculate the average of the last 20 values in a dynamic list? The list is in column A and updates every day by adding a new value in column A.
I have a sheet of un-ordered data with duplicates. Looks a little like this:
Sheet2 * A B
[Code]....
What I want to do is: on a separate sheet, when the user inputs a Region name, it will return an array of unique Locations under that Region. For example, if the input is "NORTHEAST", the following would be returned:
I have a list of dates and I want sort them by growth, also only to show the values after specific dates. I know how to do it with Macro, I just need list changing dynamically.
