Reset Values Based On Dropdown?
Feb 11, 2014
I have a sheet which shows values by month across several years (sample attached). There are two options in cell A2, 'Alive' and 'Dead'.
I'm trying to find a way, either using a macro or not if it can be done without so that, should the user select 'Dead' from cell A2, that all the values in B2:M2 and O2:Z2 are set to zero. However, I need some way of remembering these values because there may be instances when the user then decides to change Cell A2 back to 'Alive' (and they still need to be able to change the value in any cell at any time) and if they do that, I need the numbers shown in B2:M2 and O2:Z2 to be restored to their last set of values. I assume they somehow need to be stored in an array, but I have no idea how to achieve this in reality.
It should be noted that the same will apply to every row in the sheet of which there will be around 3,000, so this needs to work on a row by row basis and there will be 4 years worth of data, rather than the two on the attached sample.

Trying to create a dynamic costing spreadsheet, where the user has to make multiple selections from many dropdown lists, all of which end up showing a total cost.
So far I have managed to create relatively dynamic lists, so that the choice in one cell will dictate what options are available in the next.
But if a user selects an options form all the dropdowns, and then decides to go back and modify a previous option to something else, the effected dropdown lists do not change until you click on the drop down arrow again and see the options available have changed.
Let me try and simplify...
'Menu 1' has two option: 'A' and 'B'.
If 'A' is chosen, then the next menu, 'Menu 2', will have options '1' and '2'.
If 'B' is chosen from 'Menu 1', then the options in 'Menu 2' will be '3' and '4'.
Lets say the user chose 'A' from 'Menu 1' and then '1' from 'Menu 2'... AND THEN went back and changed their choice in 'Menu 1' to 'B'....
'Menu 2' will still be displaying '1', even though the options are only '3' and '4'.
Can I make the dependant menu's either reset or blank or highlight to show that a change made somewhere else has made them currently invalid

I am trying to reset various (data validation) drop down lists in a the dummy worksheet attached. Most of the code i have come across clears the cells completely, however i would like it to return to the 'select' option (first on the list) in the list.
I have come across this code, but it does not seem to work:
[Code] .........
I want the clearing code to run from the command button in the 'instructions' tab to clear the drop down lists in the '1. Inputs' tab.

I'm new to excel and was trying to make a workbook that will have a drop down list populate based on a user input in two separate cells. Basically, i have columns: name, pages, and books. I would like to have the drop down list match data by first finding the amount of books read, then finding the amount of pages read. Then any name that meets the criteria will be available in the drop down list. How can I do this?

I have a dynamic dropdown list in B3. The dynamic dropdown list in B4 is a result of my choice in B3, and my dynamic dropdown list B5 is a result of my choice in B4.
When changing a value in B3 the dropdown lists B4 and B5 will be reset. This is done by this VBA Script in my worksheet.

I am building a spreadsheet with a column having two drop down menus at the top that designate independent, but strict conditions. For simplicity, say I have in cell A1 a drop down menu with choices "alpha, beta, gamma" while A2 has a drop down menu for "1, 2, 3". These six values sit off to the side in cells X1, X2, X3, X4, X5 and X6 respectively.
In cell A3 I woul like to change its color, perhaps to green because it is an acceptable number (say less than or equal to 100) or change to red if unacceptable, value greater than 100.
I can do both of these commands in Excel, no problem. In my situation, I would like to change the value at which cell A3 goes from green to red dependent on the options in A1 & A2. There are 9 such combinations of alpha, beta, gamma, paired with 1,2,3 and I would like the combinations to change the fill color of cell A3 in the following manner:
If A1 = alpha and A2 = 1, then A3 will be green for values less than or equal to 100 and red for values greater than 100.
If A1 = beta and A2 = 1, then A3 will be green for values less than or equal to 80 and red for values greater than 80.
If A1 = gamma and A2 = 1, then A3 will be green for values less than or equal to 60 and red for values greater than 60.
If A1 = alpha and A2 = 2, then A3 will be green for values less than or equal to 95 and red for values greater than 95.
If A1 = beta and A2 = 2, then A3 will be green for values less than or equal to 75 and red for values greater than 75.
If A1 = gamma and A2 = 2, then A3 will be green for values less than or equal to 55 and red for values greater than 55.
If A1 = alpha and A2 = 3, then A3 will be green for values less than or equal to 92 and red for values greater than 92.
If A1 = beta and A2 = 3, then A3 will be green for values less than or equal to 72 and red for values greater than 72.
If A1 = gamma and A2 = 3, then A3 will be green for values less than or equal to 52 and red for values greater than 52.
How to create a cell that can change its conditional formatting based on the selected values of two drop down menus.
I have a few other conditions I would like to implement, say change the fill color of A3 to green, orange or red dependant on the values in A1 & A2, but I might be able to crack that if I can see how the above scenario is done.

I have a worksheet (say, Sheet1) that I am going to manually import a large data set into on a weekly basis for reporting purposes. One of the columns from this data dump will have the header "Design Id" in the first row, but it may not be in the same column every time. I am trying to figure out how to create dropdown lists on a separate worksheet (say, Sheet2) in the same workbook where the data source always looks up the column containing the header "Design Id" from Sheet1 and then returns only the unique values from that column as options in the list.

I am looking to write a code to lock/unlock cells based on values selected using a drop down list (see attached Excel) For example if Netherlands is chosen as the Country (Column A), then except for the columns Amsterdam (column B) and Eindhoven (column C), all other columns must be locked. Similarly, if India is chosen as the country from the drop down list, then only the columns New Delhi and Mumbai must be editable for the user, the rest of the columns remain locked.
I tried tweaking some of the lock/unlock codes around, but got lost especially with getting to run the macro - still trying to come to terms with running a "Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange" function in the sheet from "Module"!

I require calculating difference between two columns. (Actual and Estimated).
Difference between these two numbers are calculated in third column, but it is reset every time actual number is non-zero.
Scenario:-
-Estimated Numbers are always followed by an actual number.
-After actual number is obtained, estimated numbers till that date will be added and deducted from actual number.
-After this, again estimated number will be added till next actual number is obtained for deduction.
If estimated number is not followed by actual number, then no need for difference calculation.

I have a userform with a lot of optionbuttons, checkboxes and textboxes, some of which an disabled when starting up the userform and become activated by clicking or unclicking others. The userform is shown by clicking a command button "Start" in the worksheet which runs a macro that contains a single line:
userform1.show
Finally have this very complicated code behind the userform working, but when i've finsihed with it and click Start again the userform appears with all the information still entered. Is there a way that I can reset all the userform objects and their properties & values back to their initial state without writing a long bit of code to reset them manually?

Our Finance office created a spreadsheet with pivot tables. Attached is the file. In the Presentation tab, using the filters, values will be changed. Once changed, they want a way to reset the filters to their original settings. They, and I, are having no luck with this.

I am trying to build a spreadsheet that tallies hours worked and hours available for the next day. The key to this spreadsheet is the number 70. A worker can accumulate no more then 70 hours in an 8 day period, however after any day with no hours worked the rule resets to 70 hours available again. I have attached a sample spreadsheet so you can see how this should work.

I have 4 combo boxes that allow me to make selection from pivot tables. As you know in the pivot table there's the "All Selection" which does not exist in combo boxes (I think), so I created a macro to reset all the pivot tables with the "All" option selected in all of them. However the values in the combo boxes are not changing.

Have a sample file attached : sample2.xls
What I want to do is - Column H shows my current position, and column L shows the p&l.
I would like excel to calculate the p&l for each position, and put the results in column M.
For example: H3 is the opening of a new position, as H2 shows the current position as zero, and H4 is not equal to zero. The position was added to in H4, and I'm now holding 2. The entire position was sold in H5, and my current position is back to zero. I would like excel to then show in M5, the sum of H3,H4 and H5, and then start the calculation again, and keep doing so down the entire column. If there was only 3 p&l cells for each position, it wouldn't have been a problem for me to get it done, but unfortunately, they can vary quite a bit.

I've found a # of threads on this subject but have been unable to find the function I need.
I've got a spreadsheet (attached) to calculate vacation time, but I can't figure out how to make the used time reset on an anniversay date. For example, if Employee 1 has earned 80 hours of vacation but only used 40 by his 4 year anniversary date, how do I make unused time roll back to 80 the day of his anniversary?
Here's the structure: 2 Personal days given Jan. 1, then 2 more on July 1 to employees here at least 6 months. Those whose 6 months fall after or between are awarded 2 days on their anniversary then accrue as normal. Unused personal days are lost at the end of the year. Vacation time is 40 hours after 1 year, 80 hours at 3 yrs, then 120 hours at 5+.

I'm having a problem creating a Reset All command button that will remove user entered unlocked cell values from an entire workbook save for one specific worksheet. So for example, I have five tabs labeled as "DTF", "Week 1", "Week 2", "Week 3" and "Week 4". I want one single command button (placed in the "DTF" worksheet) to remove all of the unlocked cell values from "Week 1" to "Week 4".

I am currently working on a workbook to have employees fill in data on what tasks they compelted for the day, and how long it took. There are 5 colums (for this purpose) Task, Description, Time, Required to complete, Completed. The tasks are predefined and listed out in each row. There is also a space for employees to select the date they are entering the data for.
I would like to have a macro that is linked to a submit button and when pressed populates this data into a database on another sheet. This database is split into two sheets (1 with time and one with tasks required/compelted). Each sheet has the list of tasks going down a cloum on the left, and dates along a row on the top. When the employee presses submit I would like this data to popuplate in the coresponding date and task fields and then reset the form on sheet 1 to all 0's.

Cells B3 and B6 both have lists created through data validation.
If the value in B3 changes (by user selecting from the list), I'd like B6 to automatically change to "Select a take to retrieve" (which is the first choice in the B6 list.)
Likewise, if the value in B6 changes (by user selecting from the list), I'd like B3 to automatically change to "Select a version to take" (which is the first choice in the B3 list.)

I created a drop down list for products my company sells. Now I am wondering how can I get Excel to display the cost of the item in another column so I do not have to type in the cost each time I bring that product up.
I have searched google and this site but of course I can't describe my search well enough to find what im looking for.
I'm sure this has been explained I just can't find the answer to my problem.

When the value in the drop down window is selected I need to have the data populated in the rows to the right of the drop down window. I have created the Drop Down using data validation in B12, I need C12 & D12 to auto fill with the info listed in H2 & I1 according to the item picked in the drop down.
I have tried to follow an example listed on the website but i keep getting a formula error.

Is it possible to assign values to names in a list, so that when you validate it as a drop-down list, you can select a name from the drop-down and it's corresponding value will be added to separate cell? Basically, I have survey questions which have five possible responses: Excellent - Very Good - Good - Fair - Poor. We want to assign a value to each, 5 for Excellent, 4 for Very Good and so on, so that when a response is selected from a drop-down, it's value appears in a separate cell (so that we can calculate a total and average score from the selections).
