Pull Data And Makes Changes From Different Tabs Using Dropdown List?
Jan 4, 2013
I have an (organization) work book that contains departments in different tab with each department having its own tab. In each tab is the employee name, dept manager, dept number and emp number. In the CoverSheet (main sheet) I want to put the department numbers in a drop down menu.Upon selection of a department number i want to Look in the whole workbook to see where the department number is, pull up the department head and all the employees in that department with their employee numbers
The reason for this is that I want to be able to add a button to delete/edit to be able to edit employee details centrally from this particular (CoverSheet) sheet and update the relevant sheet.
Also put in an input box to add employees and update the relevant tab (department)

I am doing a spreadsheet where I have 1 main sheet and 2 sheets with data.On the main sheet I have a drop down list to select either one of the 2 sheets and upon selecting,all the data from that selected sheet will be displayed on the main sheet.
What i do not understand is the code given below
data:=IF($C$7='A2'!$A$2,INDEX('A2'!$A$6:$B$20,ROW( $A3),COLUMN(B$1)),
INDEX('A1'!$A$6:$B$20,ROW($A3),C OLUMN(B$1)))
How do i attach spreadsheet in this forums btw?

I have a sheet with data that is associated with a month or season. I need to create a drop down list or check boxes on another sheet that will allow me to select the data associated with the month or season that is chosen.
For instance, on Sheet1, I have Summer-12 as the label in cell A1, and the data associated with it in cell A3:AH15. Winter-12 is in cell A18 and the data associated with it is in B20:31.
This goes on for 3 years of data.
I need a drop down list or check boxes on sheet2 where I can select one or multiple seasons and then the associated data for those seasons appear in order.

In the annual table tab, I want to be able to select a sales person or other field, and create a table that will pull data from all the tabs. For example, if I select the salesperson Kelly, I want it to pull all of the data from January, February, and March, and compile it into a table.
I would want the table to be dynamic also - I want to be able to quickly sum/average all of that salesperson's sales for all months.

I have searched and have not been able to find an answer to this question so it might be a little unique possibly. I have an ActiveX combo box that I am trying to do something with. The text that I want to appear in the combo box is already there and I did this by creating a list and referencing it to the combo box. So the combo box has the following four items in its drop down:
Boat
Car
Plane
Walk
Now the part I cannot figure out is how to make a selected value appear in another cell based on what was selected in the combo box. For example, if boat is selected in the combo box, then I want the value 25 to appear in a cell. If Plane is selected in the combo box, I want the value of 100 to appear in a cell. For walk 5, and for car 22. I know this can easily be done with data validation and a validation drop down list but I do not want to use that but need to have a combo box do it instead. I just don't know if it cannot be done as a list or not and have experimented with INDEX but not having any luck there. I do not want to use any macros for this either. Basically I am wondering how I can make my combo box work just like data validation drop down menu bar with formatted values outputted into a cell.

I had a friend attempt to help me with this issue but he couldn't figure it out. He suggested that I tried asking around here.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
(I am happy to email anybody the spreadsheet to help out with this description)
1. There are two spreadsheets. One spreadsheet with about 25 tabs (one for each store number) and one spreadsheet with one tab and about 1400 lines of information that is sorted by store number. To preface, this 1400 line spreadsheet can be 900 lines one month and 2500 another month, so it fluctuates.
2. From this spreadsheet sorted by store, I will highlight, cut and paste into the corresponding store tab on the first spreadsheet. Also, at any given month, the information fluctuates, it can be 15 lines for one store one month and another month it could be 5.
3. Once I am done cutting and pasting it all into each seperate tab, I have a 26th tab that I am looking to create a button that will then pull all that information into the 26th tab.
I know - first question is why would you want that? You already have all the information from that original spreadsheet. Well, in these store tabs, I have everything perfectly formatted a certain way and I only really cut and paste the information that I need from the 2nd spreadsheet.
I have a spreadsheet that my friend claims he got close to working it out.
Just to add, I would need this button to take into account that the information in each tab fluctuates and also that it is easy to add a tab if I add stores.

I have a drop down that provides all of the sheet name in the workbook. When the user selects a sheet name, I would like specific cells to pull data from the sheet name selected. What I thought would work is =Sheetname(A1)!E3 where the cell would pull data from cell E3 from the drop down sheetname in A1

I have 5 cities and each city has a set of data in separate tabs. Right now i have data pulled for all 5 cities in a single sheet but its too cramped up..
I want to use a drop down list (data validation) and if any of the 5 cities are selected in the drop down, the data from that particular city (tab) should be pulled up. This way my sheet size will be reduced 5 time which will look good.
A common v lookup wont work because the data has to be pulled from 5 different tabs for 5 different cities.

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'm not including my spreadsheet because it has company information however, I will try to articulate my request as best I can. I currently have an Excel spreadsheet with about 20 worksheets, I would like to be able to click on the first worksheet, create a "Drop Down box" or "Data Validation" box or whatever I need to do to be able to view information in a range of cells on ANOTHER worksheet within the same workbook.
I've tried Data Validation, Drop Down Boxes, Define name ranges, all to NO avail. I'm missing a step somewhere, because I'm still not able to view the information on the first worksheet.

if there was a way to automatically add each student to a class list as their information is inputted. What i mean is, after input Sally Student in the main enrollment list she would automatically go to the class list for the class she has chosen.
I have attached a sample workbook with my desired results. Basically what i want to do is make this easier for those in charge to get the class lists from the main list without having to copy and past all the time.
The class lists are in the tabs in the workbook.

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 have a list on one worksheet and I use a dropdown list from Data Validation to select the name required.
My list is so long that I would like to be able to type a letter or two to access to the name quicker instead of scrolling down.
I copied a formula that worked for someone else that put this formula in the data validation
(IF(I36<>"",OFFSET(Player,MATCH(I36&"*",Player,0)-1,,SUMPRODUCT((MID(Player,1,LEN(I36))=TEXT(I36,"0"))*1)),Player))
I do not wish to use VBA is possible.

I am currently stuck with a drop down list problem. I am trying to make a benchmarking solution for a group of 20 stores. All stores sell products uniformly and their sales are displayed in percentages of the cumulative total. Currently there is a benchmarking page where all stores sales per product is displayed, however I would like the ability to select specific stores data from a drop down list. I have pictures displaying the basic concept of what I want to achieve.
stores.PNG
On the left a list of products and the quantities sold in percentages per store for benchmarking purposes.
What I would like to achieve relates to the drop down list on sheet 2.
store 1.PNG
Here store 1 can see its sales in percentages, and has a drop down list to compare to different stores. If store 3 is selected I would like the data to be pulled into that column from the benchmarking sheet and the same goes for the other stores of course.

I have a query with data validation.....
Can I have a cell rage.. say A2:E20...and every cell in it has a drop down data validation list, from data inputted into L2:L27 (For examples lets say L2 is A, L3 is B, L4 is C, L5 is D and so on).
if somewhere in the range A2:E20, say B6 I was to select D from the drop down list, I want the remainder of the cells in range A2:E20, to have the drop down list without the value D in it, and so on, so the more cells in the range I fill from the list, the list for empty cells gets smaller and smaller until there are none left.

I'd like to create a data validation with 1 dropdown list in the second worksheet in B4, relating to 3 cell ranges on the first worksheet (COS, Expenses & Capital). If 3 can't work, I've created 1 called 'dropdown' which incorporates all 3.
which formula I need to write into the validation, or what else I need to do in order to find a solution to this.

based on this example, what i want is to select from the list of names and only the initials are shown!

I want to use excel to create quotations for customers. (currently doing it in word)
Tab 1 is the quote, has 4 columns, part number, description, cost, yearly maintenance
Tab 2 has all the things we sell, part number, description, cost, yearly maintenance. 150 lines.
So, Tab 1, description column is a drop down box from Tab 2. Working fine.
Question. When an item is selected from the drop down, how do I get it to then bring from tab 2 the part number, cost and yearly maintenance.

I have a very detailed spreadsheet with drop down lists. I would like to block other cells if previous cells have certain selections. I have 7 columns of data that get inputted throughout the month. These cells have drop down selections that I have created. Is there any way to create a drop down menu AND another data validation? So If a selection is made, then the next cells will be blocked, using data validation "custom"?

It is basically a simple sheet that lists the price (Column C) of different items (Column B) based on their Category (Column A).
I am trying to have an automated pricing sheet (on different sheet) utilizing data validation and drop down lists.
For example each row should have this, the drop down list in the first columns should list all the Categories available (This part works fine for me and i can take care of the duplicates).
Once that has been selected, i have now the option of selecting using drop down list also (in second column) the items corresponding to the Category selected in first column (Only the items that are part of that specific category should be listed in the drop down list).
Once the item has been selected, the price of that respective item should be listed automatically in the 3rd column.

I have a workbook that contains data on a different sheet that I would like to populate on a different sheet by selecting a value from a drop down list. The format of the data is identical just different numbers. But are broken out into different projects... I am incredibly new at this and just barely learned how to make a drop down list.

I have giant excel spreadsheet that I am trying to clean up. I want to make one of the columns (with around 3000 rows and may of them are the same) into a drop down list. However, when I try doing so from the data validation tab, I get duplicates, triplicates, etc. of the same item.

Insert a drop down list that is attached to a bunch of data to make it easier to navigate through the data.
Therefore, when you chose one item in the list it will populate data in the worksheet for that item in the list and change for each item in the list.
For example, if you have ten people's names in the list when you pick Nancy it will show you information on her and when you pick Scott it will populate with completely different data. The data all coming from one master tab.
