Reset Data Validation List All The Time When Opening File?
Jun 11, 2014
When opening the attached file, for some reason, I have to again select the cells from column A in tab "Transactions" and go to Data Validation and select again LIST - only then the data validation from list resumes working. When I close the file after saving and open it again, the data validation does not work - I have to again go to Data Validation and again reselect LIST (making sure, of course, that I do not mess up Source) to have Data Validation list run again.

I have a file that I want to clear certain cells and all option buttons when first opened. I then want the user to be able to save and close the file with the data they have entered. When they go to reopen the file I want the data they entered to still be there. I want the user to get the blank file off the company's server and then save it to there machine when it has been completed and when they go back to this file the information is still entered. I have attached the file.

What I have:
I have 12 months in a year and each number represent a month. I have generated lists of data mainly interest and principle payments from 12 amortization sheets which i have just copied into the attached spreadsheet and will change accordingly based on the loan terms which doesn concern us. For our purposes we wont make distintion between principle and payment as i just need to see how to make what i need work.
What I need:
I need to offset data vertically automatically once i the user selects an option value (Number in this Case) from the validation list located within the Payment control box. Going from left to right you see the raw data but in this example i need the data on the right hand side to be offset down the number of rows which may be found in the control box as a validation list.
IE:
So if i were to use "Loan I" [L6] and select a "2"[J6] from the "Payment Control" then the data on the right hand side [L6[ would reflect a $0 but instead the new value for L7 would be "$24.96" and would continue down for about 374 rows. This will have to be done for Loans I - Loans N [L6:Q6] respectively. This is all i need in order to compile and make use of in my spreadsheets.
Thanks and cannot be a formula as forumlas will be overwritten and cannot be a macro so it must be a module in itself so it an run when the list is changed.
the single digit values in coulmns M6:Q3 are there mainly so you can see the difference between the base and the position at which the data is placed at. its not need but is there to stress and to show the number rows in offset of data.

I add data validation into 4 columns and when i re-open the spread sheet after saving it, it clears all validation.
Although it clears the validation, the place where it gets the data from is still there. i have also unfroze panes and is still clearing data validation
Attached is the spread sheet. The data validation is in columns A, G, H and I on the 'unsourced' page and is getting the data frfom the 'Sheet1' Page.

I have 2 columns First Name & Surname. What I want to do is create a data validation list on the surname which results in the 2nd data validation list only showing the first names which link to one of the surnames.
i.e. If I selected Smith in the 1st validation list then I would only like to see 'Paul' as an option in the 2nd list
First Name
Surname
Paul
Smith
Paul
Jones
Tony

I'm working with a list of different manufacturer part numbers, that must be represented in TEXT format only! The file with manufacturer part numbers exported from ERP system to TXT/CSV formats. When I open it in Excel , manually in "Text Import Wizard" I define Column Data Format as Text.
Examples:
1. part number 3214-4-5 turns to 05/04/3214
2. part number 0005487 turns to 5487
3. part number 223878615654 turns to 2.23879E+11
4. part number 4303.240600 turns to 4303.2406
Is anyway to do it automatically from VBA? I try to record macro , but it does not contain "text format".

My sheet has a Data Validation drop down menu "Department", where the user selects a Department. Based on this selection, another Data Validation cell "Team Leader" gives a list of Team Leaders to choose from. This works perfect. Change the Department, you get a different list of names. The problem is that if I have both a Department and a Team Leader selected, and then I change the Department selection, it keeps the Team Leader cell filled with now invalid data (the Team Leader from the previous department). If I then click on the Team Leader cell, it has the correct names listed to choose from, but until I do that cell retains the old information. Is there any way to blank the "Team Leader" cell, or push data to it (I've included a Choose a Team Leader entry in my list of people), when I change my Department selection?

I'm trying to use data validation to restrict the user to only selecting values in a list which I create. Right now, the list is a named range. I'd like to get rid of the range and just use a named list. I create a name using the following as my list.
Insert > Name > Create
Name: Fruit
Refers to:
banana,apple,orange
When I try to use the name Fruit in my data validation, I get the message "The List Source must be a delimited list, or a reference to single row or column." I thought my name "fruit" was a delimited list.

I have a List of Different Fruits in Cells A1 to A5
Apple
Banana
Orange
Strawberry
Cherry
And I use data validation list in 5 different cells from Cells C1 to C5 then in every cell the list will show all the fruits,
But I want that if I select Any Fruit in cell C1 that should not be included in the remaining 4 cells, and the fruits selected in Cells C1 and Cell C2 should not be included in the remaining 3 cells and so on....
I Used the formula
=IF(C1=A1,OFFSET(A2,,,COUNTA($A$2:$A$5),1),0)
But this works fine if I select Apple in the Cell C1, then the List of C2 Shows all Fruits other than Apple, But if in Cell C1 I select any fruit other than Apple it does not work... (Using Excel2007 & Win XP)

is there a way to force so that a cell value can be only of what a validation droplist offers, hence users can not enter their own values and have to use the droplist for cell content selection.

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 have a need to open a file from my companies intranet. My current method was to open said file via the method that the recorder gave me. However, I would like ot be able to open a said file without having to start open another workbook.
This is the path:
[url]
So the command is this:
Workbooks.Open [url]
Links are not actual links
So what I need to know. Is how can I open this file without opening a workbook. I haven't been able to use the VB "Open Statement" to open a file and I don't believe that I've been successfull using the Filesystem object either.

How do I reset ALL the sorting in a file?
The first worksheet is all formula generated and has filters at the top, which I've variously sorted alphabetical. The second worksheet is raw data the user isn't intended to read.
Now I want to alter one of the formulas. The problem is, if I change it in row 2 and fill down I get all kinds of different information. This is because while the present formulas read
='other worksheet'!A265
='other worksheet'!A934
- and so on at random, when I resort them I just get A2, A3, and so on.

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 workbook that is accessed through a network by many users. The one problem that occurs with certain users is that they leave the autofilter on when then are in the spreadsheet. It has an autofilter on each title, and the user initials are an option to filter...certain users leave the filter on when they save the sheet so the next time someone else goes in, it only displays the previous users results.
Is there a way to reset the autofilter for the user initials each time the sheet is opened?

The idea is to create a liquor order sheet which takes items and prices from a liquor inventory workbook, which is part of the same file. i'm sure that you can do it all fancy with a macro, but unfortunately i'm not super experienced with excel. so i helped myself with what i know a bit -> drop down lists. I created an extra sheet which has 4 ranges on there... the liquor type (liquor, beer, wine), and the 3 sub classes for each type (red/white/blush/sparkling for wine, draft/import for beer and so on and so forth). On the inventory i named the range of all white wines "white", of all red wines "red" ..
On my order sheet i created a drop down list for type and created 2 more via "indirect" .. so when you select "wine" in the first one, the 2nd one will ask you for white/red/blush/sparkling and the last drop down then for the exact item according to the range on the inventory.
Hope what i did so far is understandable ^.^
Now my problem is that i want the unit cost to be copied when an item is selected. So you select "beer" in A1, "import" in A2, "corona" in A3... and the price for corona (which is written in a cell on the inventory sheet) should show up in A4.
I attached a screen of the inventory sheet so that you can see how it is structured.

Hello, could some one please help me with the following:
I have created a drop-down list for the range : C3:C65000 using Excel 2003 and Windows XP Pro. I did this using Excel's Data Validation Tool. The settings I used are as follows:
Allow: List
Source: =GROUPS
Check Box Ignore Blank is Ticked
Check Box In-cell dropdown is Ticked
GROUPS = GROUPS!$A$2:$A$29
Now all this works well, such that when I click in the cell range : C3:C65000, then a dropdown list appears - showing a list of all my groups.
However, when I click on any of the dropdown lists in this range, the width of the dropdown list is only as wide as the column. Column C has a width of 20.
What I need please is for the dropdown list to be as wide as the list of information showing in the dropdown list. If some one could please explain on how I can achieve this - that would be great.

I have a workbook that uses data validation from a list.
The same list is used in several of the individual sheets.
Can one use just one list for different sheets, as I'm having to create separate list for each sheet, which when an overall change needs to be made it is easy to miss one.

I have attached 2 files to explain what I really need:
In file A.xlsx I have 2 sheets. In the B1 cell from Sheet 1 I have created a data validation criteria based on the sheet 2.
I would like to get that same data validation criteria based on the A.xlsx onto the B.xlsx.
Is it possible? If not do you have any trick, solution, workaround to link a list from one excel file to another?
