I have often used Data Validation List to create selection lists for cells in a worksheet. The problem is the list has to be on the same sheet you want to use it on. Is there any other way to do this so one common list can be used for all sheets? I have a list of accounts I want to use on 12 different Monthly tabs.

I have a colummn of data (text data). For my purposes I would need to add a prefix text to every single cell contained in that column; for instance, if I have a cell with a text "hellohowareyou" ,
I would need to change it by adding to it a constant prefixation text "es_ES@" so that the final result would be displayed like "es_ES@hellohowareyou" , and so on for the rest of the cells under the same column.
I want to add "CR" to the beginning of every cell that already has data. I know I could do =a1 and it would copy all the way down. However each cell has different data and I'd like to keep it that way but add 2 letters in the beginning.

I have 100s of urls with prefix as the left column. I need to rename them to the right column format. UDC 01_001 will take number Batch 01_385, UDC 01_002 will use Batch 01_386 and so on.
I cant figure out how to do this in one quick macro instead of replace function.
Is it possible to make a textbox entry be a number.
I have a text box on a sheet and i have linked it to a cell on a different sheet.
The problem I am having is that when I enter a number in the text box say 2.8 it is stored in the linked cell as text. is it possible to have the entry be number as I need it to be a % and used in other formulars?
I have a form in Excel that has comments fields. Each comments field is a merged cell consisting of four rows and four columns. My understanding is that Excel should be able to display 1024 characters. The input that's causing me trouble has 360 characters. At around 300 characters, the text box gets filled with ############################# instead of text.
If I size the font down significantly to where there would be absolutely no question that the text would fit, it is still #######. I may have to end up using text boxes, but they are a bit troublesome for the less Excel-savvy users of the form.
I am having is on the user form I have a default start time test box and a default finish time text box that when the form is opened it looks at the constants work sheet and if there is any data it puts it into the appropriate text box, all ok so far when a user wishes to change the default data in these text boxes I need to test if they are entering the data correctly, in Access 2000 I would set the defeat format of the text box to Time? Data type=Format(time,”h:mm”) or a or an input mask of “h:mm” so if they did not enter the time in the correct way an error message would pop up and tell them to renter the data the correct way.
I have not been able to find this type of settings in Excel 2000 I have tried testing the data using the beforupdate but it also dos not recognise formatting
The other thing I need to do on the user form with this formatting is calculate the time difference between to two time inputs and come up with a total hours.
I have managed to do all of this in the work sheets and preforms well but not on the user form
I need a macro which will put "P" when the cursor will be moved by right arrow key in the range c19 to AG55 if the cells are blank suppose cursor is moved from c19 to c20 & if c20 is blank then "P" will come on, if c20 is not blank say "Z" is in c20,then at c20 "Z" will remain at c20 and the code will not put "P" at c20 then.
View 9 Replies View RelatedG1 = will be one of these 12 choices: 01 January or 02 February or 03 March...or 12 December
K2 = Date I performed the task
D2 = Name of Inspector
I usually manually input on G2 the name of the report.
Example:
G1 = 12 December
K2 = 12/05/2013
D2 = Chris Mart
Therefore, I need to manually input on D2 = 13-12-MARTCL
Where....
MARTCL comes from a table where I have all the inspectors and their corresponding username.
That table is O2:P63. O1= Title of row (Username), P1 = Title of row (Name of inspector)
13 = year extracted from 12/05/2013
12 = Month of inspection (which can be extracted from G1 or K2)
How do I use cell reference AND VLOOKUP to create 13-12-MARTCL on G2?
Say I have a workbook called test1.xls, where the number 1 at the end of the file name is variable. Tomorrow that character could be 2 so the file would become test2.xls etc (or could even be a letter for what it matters).
Is there a way in Visual Basic to recognize that the final character is not fixed but can get different values each time? Or in other words to recognize that the file starts with "test", and that whatever follows that prefix is not relevant?
For example....
If ActiveWorkbook.name = "'test*.xls" Then...
where * (star) could be any character.
As a Windows analogy, I am thinking of the * (star) character when one searches a certain directory for, say, Excel files (*.xls etc). Obviously, in VBE that doesn't work, and the star is just a character like any other.
I’m making a database to forklifts. Most used code I have found from this forum. I haven’t found a way how to copy existing formulas on summary sheet so that sheet name is also changed in formula. I attached also my workbook, but it’s not in English language but in Estonian. I hope that isn’t problem.
If pressed button on summary sheet (“Pealeht”) then existing blank sheet are copied and renamed. On userform1 is textbox3 which value added to summary sheet, also combobox4 value added to summary sheet. Now I want that if pressed commandButton1 on userform1 then all formulas what exist on summary sheet from F6 to CW6 are also copied to next row and in formula sheet name changed. My second question is what to write that if new sheet created then it goes always to end of existing sheets. Right now I’m using code what copies new sheet after blank sheet but it’s not satisfying me.
I have a percentage in R3.
If I make an entry in D13 then I want the R3 to be duplicated into C27 otherwise C27 should be 0.
I've a long list of value with indicator which I need to compare with an entry after which it need to return a text indicator. I'm using IF and MATCH function.
Following is the code I use:
=(IF(MATCH(C1,$D$5:$D$29,0)<=5,$E$9,IF(MATCH(C1,$D$5:$D$29,0)<=10,$E$14,IF(MATCH(C1,$D$5:$D$29,0)<=1 5,$E$19,IF(MATCH(C1,$D$5:$D$29,0)<=20,$E$24,IF(MATCH(C1,$D$5:$D$29,0)<=25,"Not Found"))))))
I've attached an excel file with an sample. Btw, Is there anyway I can omit the length of IF & MATCH function by using other function.
I am relatively new to Excel. I have figured out how to use named ranges as lists and use INDIRECT Data Validation to have a list's selection made in one cell populate a new list in an adjacent cell.
A1 contains a list of "Characters" (The choices are "Numbers", "Letters", or "Other")
Based on the choice in A1, B1 has to populate with the following:
- A list of available Numbers to chose from (1,2,3..etc)
- A list of available Letters to chose from ( A,B,C...etc)
- Text that instructs the user to enter text into the cell manually
(For example, their "Other" character might be something like "@#$%^&*!". (Not unlike my mental state trying to figure out this problem.) I want them to see the instruction to "ENTER CHARACTERS HERE" and then be able to type in the cell.
So I need B1 to either populate with a menu that is dependent on the menu selection in A1, or allow for free text entry depending on if they chose the "other" option in A1.
way to set the format of an entry made in a txtbox (on a user form)
I have a txtBox that the user enters an amount, but when this is pasted in the excel workbook the number is stored as text and won't evaluate.
I've tried changing the formats... but the option to change teh valuse from txt to numberinc is not "codable"...
I have a date in H34, 21/03/2009.
In I34 I have the same date again, except formatted as MMMM YYYY so its showing "March 2009".
In G10, I want the cell to read: Number at end of March 2009, with the month and year being taken from the date range. To be honest, I can get the year okay using the Year() function but cant get the month as cant convert it back from a numeric.
I currently have showing 800 suppliers in a List Box... sadly when having to search for a sepcific supplier this seems to be very fustrating and time comsuming for people in the Company.
I have tried the method of copying all of the Supplier above the list, so it can do an AutoComplete filter, but the data needs to be exact.
What i would really like is if i was to type the letter "V" in the cell, it would be able to provide me with a list of the "V" suppliers in a list.
I have a problem with entering 12-hour time data in excel.
If I key in 3:00, Excel will recognise it as 3:00 AM.
If I key in 3:00 p, Excel will recognise it as a text entry. To get Excel to recognise it as 3:00 PM, I have to use the 24-hour format. i.e. I have to type 15:00.
I have checked the Regional and Language option in the Control Panel. Everything looks fine.
Does anyone have such encounter with Excel before?
A form loads and the first thing the user is to do is enter a specific date in a text box (preferably in, "mm/dd/yyyy" format.)
Is there any way to set up the text box so that when the form loads, the, "/"'s (slashes) are already in place? And can I set it up so that if the user enters in the date in any other manner aside from, "mm/dd/yyyy", that it will give them an error?
Finally, I want the user's date input to store on a worksheet (in row, "G".) So the first time the user uses the form, they type in a date and it stores the date in the FIRST AVAILABLE CELL IN ROW, "G." (example: "G1") The next time they use the form and type in a date, it is to store in, "G2", then in, "G3", ect. Each time they fill out the form, the new entry is to save in the next row beneath the previous entry.....
For other text boxes and combo boxes I have been using the following code to do this:
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & intRow) = Text.Value (or Combobox.Value - depending on whether it was a text box or a combo box.)
Unfortunately I have NO idea how to apply this logic in regards to text boxes that are to store dates.

I'm not a novice but this might be something simple I didn't realize. I am creating a quoting sheet for a steel fab company. I have created dopdowns for the different materials and sizes but the dropdown is way too big. I need to have a column that helps me filter the dropdown more so I don't have to scroll through litterally hundreds of steels to find the one I need. The good news is that most steels have prefixes that make them easier to filter.
For example:
L-3x3x1/2
L-2x2-1/2x1/4
C6@8.2#
C8@11.5#
W12@16.0#
W21@44.0#
What I'm looking for is a way to have a dropdown that has all of the prefixes (L, C, MC, W, PL, etc) in it and when I select one of them the next column (the actual description of the steel as shown above) will only give me the specific steels for that steel shape (L,C,W,etc)
Currently I'm putting one row of say the MC shapes and one row of the C shapes and one row of the L shapes then copying them as needed. It's a lot of work and you can easily make a mistake.
I have a table like below
A B
1 x1234 value
2 y1234 value
If I want to look for all values that start with "x", is there a way to do it within a vlookup formula? Something like: vlookup("x*", A1:B2, 2, False). I know there's other ways to do this, but I want it all contained in one formula instead of splitting the A column using LEFT(A1, 1).
I read the thread below on how to utilize the Subsitute function to remove periods and thought about being able to use it for this. However, I have some phone #'s in my list that contain multiple 1- scenarios in them because the area code or 3-digit prefix sometimes include a 1- also. How do I make the formula only look at the 1- for long distance and not any other 1- found in the phone #? I want to remove all of the 1- for long distance because we are trying to use a new autodialer that is pre-programmed with the 1-.
