I need to generate a list of items from a column of data which frequently changes. In the attached example, I need to list all entries other than those that are blank (NB - the data generates the numbers as text and the blanks as "").
View 8 RepliesData is in a horizantal list, say row 2:
A2: SAM
B2:
C2: MARY
D2: JOE
E2:
F2: DAViD
i.e. like this:
SAM-blank-MARY-JOE-blank-DAVID
I am looking for formulas (not VBA) to compact this list by removing the blanks so the new will be placed in K2, L2, M2 etc. as follows:
SAM-MARY-JOE-DAVID

I would like to be able to make the same thing and select items for my drop down list, that are not blak and follow a specific condition. But I don't know how to include the condition in the array formula.
The condition I need is follow:

It would be preferred to have formulas.
I'm currently using the following code to concatenate several cells into one cell, but it also displays the cells that contain blanks.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need a macro that will take the values that are in the far right cells and move them to an area on the left. the columns they will be pulling from are the IU & IV column starting with row 2 down to row 460. from there I need the values to be pasted into the D & E Columns starting at row 6. The two columns IU & IV are a date and a task for that date. When they are pasted into the columns D&E they will need to be sorted by dates (or just all of the blanks removed), with the soonest occurrence at the top. The reason for pasting values is because I have formulas pulling the tasks and dates off of another sheet. The last thing is that the macro needs to be triggered by the information in cell c2, when that cell is changed the formulas go to work and everything in cells IU & IV update. That is when I would like the macro to kick in and work the miracle.
I have been trying to build a colony of formulas that could do it, but I have given up, then I tried to make an array index it for me, but that wasn't working for me either.
Some code that will remove blank cells from across five columns (A:E) so that after running code all data in each column moves to the top of sheet?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there way i can have a macro attatched to a button that when clicked, will copy BX:BX on sheet1, remove all the blank cells and put it on D:D on sheet2. Next time it is clicked, it will put BX:BX on to the next available column after removing the blanks and so on, filling a column at a time on sheet2?
If the above is easy, it would be really good if it could paste into columns until it reaches column H and then go back to D again but paste below the data already there, then E, but below, etc. I think though that the last bit is asking a bit much and is just cosmetic and easier to print, so dont worry too much.
I need a listbox or combobox in an excel form whos list is created from 2 ranges. for example first name is range a2:a500 second name is rangne b2:b500. the list box should list both coloums in a single list and return the row number. better still if it does not list blank ranges. i have never used a list or combo box before so please explain in terms a simplton can undrstand
View 7 Replies View RelatedI would like to exclude blanks from the source of a validation list, I have found a really neat solution for vertical list in this topic, I have modified it, but I have missed something, the formula is not working.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI think this must be fairly easy to do. I've found various posts here and tips elsewhere that indicate ways to do this, but I've not found one I could get to work.
I have a column with numbers in it. These numbers are formatted as TEXT (because they are 001, 002, etc). This list is generated by pulling the unique values from another column where these numbers are repeated.
In the following example, B has the original data. H has the same data with just the unique values. That is how far I have got. What I now want is what you see in Column I (the unique values with NO BLANKS in it).
B | H | I |
-------------------------------------------
001 001 001
001 002
001 003
002 002
002
002
003 003
003
003
I am aware that I can use an Advanced Filter (not that I manage to get that to work without it generate an erro). But this is not what I want, as I'd like the data in I to be dynamically generated such that if more unique values are added to B then H will reflect this (it does that at present) and then I will also reflect this.
I have a master list from which certain items are chosen and displayed in several other lists based on always changing conditions. The way i have these other lists set up displays the items in the same row as the master list using IF Formula nested with Exact functions to qualify it. If the item isn't qualified to be in a list then I get a blank cell. Is there any way to consolidate these lists so they don't have lots of blank cells?? I would like it to happen automatically as my lists are always changing.

I have created data validation list which has 3 flags (Yes, No and Blank). Normally the user will select either Yes or No from column C but i want each time there is no value in either row A or B; i want the code to automatically to select Blank.

I would like to create a list with reference to IF (E1:E150=1) list F1:F150
No Blanks. Cells E1:E150 will be either a 1 or a blank.
The new list will be created in cells Y5:Y whatever. List will then become a drop down list.
I have created the list but it has blanks between names and I just want the names....
at present i have data in column A That could look like
a1 = fred
a2 to a6 is blank
a7 =bill
a8 is blank
a9 = steve
a10 to a 20 is blank
what the idea is that a1 get copied to a2,a3,a4,a5,a6
a7 get copied to a8
a9 get copied to a10 to a20
these cells could vary on what information is in them and what cells contain information or not
my macro goes to a1 looks for the last cell with data in it then copies itto the cell below then loops back to a1 ans repeats itself
this macro takes about 1 minute to run as the column has about 5000 cells being used. is there a faster way to do this
Is there any way to exclude the blank in data validation-under validation criteria-lists. an example is include.

I've got the ignore blanks box ticked on the data validation but it doesn't make any difference?
I have created a checklist using "Marlett" checkboxes. I have the names of choices in column B the Checkboxes in column C.

I have a set up of investments. Say A1 through to G1. Then on the next row the investments range from A1 to G1 again. This continues down many rows. There are spaces such as D1 and D2 through E2.
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
1
ausbil........................
Starting in column H, I would like to list the investments but ignore investments that have already appeared on the row (ie list only the first occurence) and ignore the blanks as well. For example, D1, E1, F1 are to be ignored because of the blank, and the fact that ausbil and amp already appear.
In row 2, the blanks in D2 and E2 are ignored as well as the repeated 'amp' in F2. So the table should look like below from column H:
H
I
J
K
1
ausbil
amp
vanguard
bt
2
amp
becton
fidelity
bt
Is there a simple formula for this? It has to be in rows as I have at least 60 columns of data before these columns begin. There are at least 300 rows.
It's a quarterly schedule for utility meter readers, divided up into days across the top, and routes/areas down the side.
There's a space with each route for the employee ID to go, depending on who's doing it.
Down the bottom of the sheet, there's a few empty lines for all the available employees who haven't been allocated to a route.
On the second sheet labelled EMP LIST, is all the employee IDs. It's also got the areas they work- it's for something I want to implement later.
I can put all the employees into a single column list, then use basic DV to give a dropdown menu by each route, to assign an employee to it. This is pretty straight forward. I've also been playing with this in combination with a countif, so that employees already assigned do not appear in the list.
This is about as far as I've managed to get with it.
I need to get the employees who aren't assigned to anything to appear in a list below the routes. I'm fairly sure this is just another countif, but I'm not 100% on the exact formulas.
I also need the list in the dropdown menu to reset for each day of the quarter, i.e. if I assign an employee to a route on the 30th day of the quarter, their ID will disappear from the list for any other route for that day, but will still be there for the other days of the quarter.
So far the only way I've managed to do this is by duplicating the employee list for every day of the quarter, which is going to get very cluttered, and also makes staffing changes difficult. I'm hoping there's an easier way to do this using one data set.
I've added an example of the sheet. It's one week and it's only got about 1/3 of the routes we would actually have on any given day.

I typically use the following formula to create a list with no blanks, when I have a single column of data. Is there a way to do the same thing when you have multiple columns of data (side by side to make it simple) and you want to create a master list that gets rid of the blanks, and keeps them in the order they appear (by column)?
[Code] .....
For example, if I had data (with some blank cells randomly placed) in columns AM and AN, and I wanted a singe master list in one column of all non-blank cells in column AL, followed by column AM, etc.? Is there a formula to do this, or must I resort to a macro?
I am using Excel 2003.
I have a pivot table in sheet1 and references in sheet2 like
Code:
='Sheet1'!A1
and so on to copy the whole thing to make it the source data for a bubble chart.
Now, I want to convert the table in sheet2 into a list via Ctrl+L to be able to sort by names with a dropdown menu. Unfortunately, I have to copy all rows from 1 to 1000 to account for possible increases in the pivot table size. This results in blanks in the list and when I want to sort it, I have 990 blanks before the first data rows show up. Not very neat
I currently have a list on a worksheet named "Options". It is a named range entitled "Type" with rows A2:A500. Another worksheet uses "Type" as a drop-down list. Currently there are only five entries in the list - cells A2:A6. Other items will periodically be added to the list. That is the reason for the long range - up to A500.
In the drop-down list, all of the unused cells in the named range show up as blanks. Is there any way to not have the blanks show up in the drop-down list?
Or...
Is there a way to define the named range as a variable range to enable users to add items without redefining the range and have the added items automatically show up in the drop-down list?
How can I get the dropdown list to not include blank cells in the list reguardless if the sort filter is used or not.
Sheet 1 (STATS) is the dropdownlist Cell B12
Sheet 2 (Orders) is the data, I cant convert to tables because the cells are active and storted Column B2: is the data named.
so I have to use a formula to do this.
Using Excel 2010
