I'm required by my manager to produce password protected dropdown list (I use the data validation feature) for purchase order requester. I have been working on it for 2 days now, I somehow got it but it doesnt seem foolproof; as i often get error message after running it a few times.
Basically, all I need is to come up with a unique password for each name for listed in the "Requester". Whenever I click on it, it will prompt me to enter password.Different names requires different password, otherwise it will return as a blank cell.
What are the steps how to edit data validation if possible.
Attached is the requester list : Requester List.xlsx
Hi there, I have searched for this problem and whilst I can see several "round-about" ways to achieve what I want, none quite do it in a way I would like.
Essentially, I have a dropdown box, with a list of water types. What is selected from the dropdown determines the data from a lookup table that gets utilised in subsequent calculations.
The lookup table is protected and cannot be edited, however what I would like to do is for the last entry on the dropdown box, which could be called "special water" would then prompt for a password. If the correct password is entered than the last row of data corresponding to "special water" in the lookup, becomes unlocked and can be edited. If the password is not forthcoming the user cannot select special water and consequently cannot edit the corresponding row in the lookup.
I can think of a few long-winded ways to achieve the basic result, but nothing seems elegant....or fool proof
I had thought about a simple check box against the appropriate row in the lookup called "unlock" which would require a password to use. Once the password is entered, then it can remain open until the check box is clicked again whereby a password is required to "lock" it again
I'm creating a spreadsheet to keep track of my costs of production in an online game. Within the game there are a range of spawned resources that appear for only a short time before being unobtainable these resources have specific types that is shared between multiple spawns of the resource but each resource spawn has a unique name.
My first worksheet lists all the resources and their various qualities and the later worksheets are meant to allow me to choose from a list resources matching the requirements of the item I'm looking to craft. The example i have shown in the second picture requires Tatooinian Fiberplast and Lokian Wild Wheat to craft so in the Chosen Resource column I would like to have a drop down list allowing me to select the named resource type i would like to use - for Tatooinian Fiberplast the only thing on the list should be Omnitwixi and for the Wild Wheat it should show Fizi and Krad

I am aware there are people with more pressing problems than computer games and as such
Is there a way to create a drop down list from a comma delimited list in a single cell? For example, col A is Name & Col B is the delimited list - Blue,Red,Green (list can be different for each name). Would like a drop down list in col C that allows you to pick one of the values from Col B.
I found code online that I can put on my sheet to get my formatting properties to stay the same for the items in my dropdown list located on another page. However the code does not work for conditional formatted cells...which is what I need. This is the code that I have that will carry over regular formatted cells. Just not Conditional formatted cells.
I'm looking for a way to get a unique list from a column to a data validation drop down list. Any fancy formula or vba script to create a UDF which. Does this?
I have 3 related dropdown lists that work perfectly, if you enter data from left to right. But, if you click in the cell containing the second list, which is based on the first list, of which nothing has been selected, you can just type any value in the cell. Is there a way to prevent this, or at least validate that what is entered is a value in the list.
fill the column "Level 2 Area" based on the value selected from "Level 1 Area" which is coming from a drop down list. So the "Level 2 Area" will be a drop down list also based on the selected value from the drop down list from "Level 1 Area".
I have a cell that is data validated via a list. Currently it contains the entire list of options (Office Names) that I want to be included. However, I am trying to use passwords that I will assign to users (Office Managers) that will allow them to only select their offices from the list. I struggle with VBA so any help would be appreciated!
Im trying to organize a tools inventory list. Its supposed to be sort of like an order sheet for each department. But what I want to do is when I select either CARPENTRY, or any of the other trades from a drop-down list, I'll be able to select from another drop-down list items associated with that trade in particular. So eventually I want the master data hidden, preferably in another sheet. I searched all of Google but it seems a bit complicated to get it done. I've attached the sheet so that you can see what I'm talking about. MOVE IN MASTER LIST.xlsx
I have an input box for a password, and my vb code checks the password against a list, and if it is correct allows the user to continue. I want to change the input box for a user form, as it allows more text on the form, and I also want to include a checkbox that the user must tick to show that they have read and understood the instructions. I have defined the form, but am having trouble getting the form to interpret the user input.
The form has one checkbox, which needs to be ticked to continue, otherwise give a message saying that you have to confirm. It also has one textbox, for the user to input the password. I dont understand how to name the contents of the text box, and use it in the following code. Also do I need a "send" button on the user form, for the user to click after entering the password. If so how does that work?
I have a spreadsheet (don't we all) that is currently password protected - you double click the file and need to input a password before it will open.
I have some code that will protect a workbook from changes and only unlock for specific usernames, and i wonder if there is some code that will do the following:
-User opens spreadsheet -VBA looks at the username trying to open the sheet, for this example the username is Paul.Smith -Paul.Smith is not one of the people who should have regular access to this sheet - so the VBA requests a password from him prior to opening the sheet.
My username opens the same sheet (galvin.paddy), VBA see's that my name is one of the 'Authorised Users', removes the password and opens the sheet for me ready for use.
I was wondering if there is a way to add to a list by a drop down selection. If there isn't is there a way to do this task easier than copying and pasting?
Here is an example - I'm trying to add the name Benson to the AZ Name list. Here is an illustration with the drop down but if I can't do this then is there any way that's easier than copying/pasting?
I am trying to make a spreadsheet where I use a drop down menu for several of my vendors. When I select the Vendor's name from the drop down menu (for example in A1), I would like A2 to display that vendor's phone number. But when I switch vendor name from drop down list in A1, A2 would need to reflect the new vendor's contact info.
i am trying to set up a data validation list for the user to select the options from the 'reason' column' but the input in the box would be the 'code' corresponding to the reason
i.e drop down list would show me the' reasons' but when selected it would input the 'Code' only
I have created a drop down list, but when selected the text is really small. I know this is because I am zoomed out, but if there any way for the text to be larger so that I can zoom out and still read what the options for the dropdown list are?
I have a data validation list that has approx 40 items.When I select the cell with the drop down list - only 10 or so items appear . I then have to use the scroll bar on the side to look further in the list. Is there a way that more than 10 or so ( possibly all ) items appear in the drop down box when the cell is selected - or is there a way that one can scroll down using the mouse wheel. ( I have to use the scroll bar at the moment ).
I have one drop down list in cell A1 and another in cell C1 with the same data. When I select something in A1 I want it to change in C1 also and the other way around. Is this actually possible?
If u create a drop down list with dates for eg;August 1st to Aug 31st , is it possible to save or link the date which i want to save some data in same excel sheet.
My idea is if i select august 1st in drop down list , the data which i saved in that date should display , same for the rest of all.
I have a large amount of sheets in a workbook (, say 70). For example:
1 GrandMastersheet of pets
.....1 Mastersheet of dogs .................1 sheet of little dogs .................1 sheet of big dogs .................1 sheet of blue dogs ......1 Mastersheet of cats .................1 sheet of black cats .................1 sheet of white cats .....1 Mastersheet of snakes () .................1 sheet of cobra's etc. etc. etc.
The names of the sheets in the lowest level are quite long. Creating a icon with a macro/hyperlink in it is not what I want. (Boxes are too big and there would be too many boxes.)
This is what I would like: A clickable dropdownlist in the Mastersheets, that only show the lower level sheets of that category. For example:
A dropdownlist on the dogs Mastersheet that only show the words 'little dogs', 'big dogs' and 'blue dogs'. These words should be clickable and insta-hyperlinked to the specific sheet.
I was just wondering if it would be possible to emphasize a drop down list. Basically, because you can only see if there is a drop down list when you hover over the cell, it want to be able to see that there is a drop down list on the cell even when not hovering over it?
I have recently found out how to create a dropdown list (easy). Now I am wondering if it is possible to create a dropdown list that has a value assigned to each name in the list?
For example: I have the following list;
Australian states: 1) QLD 2) ACT 3) WA 4) NT 5) NSW 6) TAS 7) VIC
When a person chooses their "state" I want there to be a corresponding value attached to it. These values are:
1) QLD - 0.82 2) ACT - 0.87 3) WA - 0.78 4) NT - 0.69 5) NSW - 0.87 6) TAS - 0.20 7) VIC - 1.17
So I got a list of months in a drop down box that when selected goes to the appropriate month tab that works great. But what I want to do is hide those month tabs that are in the drop down list. I'll add another drop down list with the other tabs to reference back to all the other month tabs so the user can move around. Only problem is when I do hide them they are unavailable meaning when selected it doesn't go the the appropriate tab that's hidden. I want to hide them from the user and still be able to go to them, I'm not worried about the user breaking the sheet. See attached example.
There is VB code in the "Home" sheet. Tab Links.xlsm
I want to create a spreadsheet, where one column allows the user to choose 'P' or 'C' from a list. No problem. I want the next column to contain options specific to what they choose. So if they choose 'C' they get a different list to choose from than if they would have chosen 'P'.
I have a Combolist box that has 39 entries. The screen isn't big enough for the entire list to be shown when the box is clicked and it truncates the top of the list. How can I add a scrollbar to this?
