I have a log that I have data validations on.
Column C validates on a list called "Division"
Column D is supposed to validate based on the selection in Column C, and give the list based on Column C.
I had it working awhile ago, then I went and changed the lists. Now, the lists are not validating appropriately (I'm not getting the expected drop down in D based on the selected in C) and I don't know why its not working anymore.
I need to compare 2 cell with 1 specification reference.But the function can't give return value as per required.Both 2 input cells using Data Validation List.
Please refer attachment for some examples : matching.xlsx‎
I have the following function in cell (table 2 column C) where I want to find a contact name from my table TMI if 3 criteria are true (client, account, NAM) For each contact I have 1 true combination of client/account/NAM but for each client/account/Nam I can have several contacts.
{=OFFSET(TMI[[#Headers],[Contact]],MATCH(1,(TMI[Client]=$B$1)*(TMI[NAM]=C3)*(TMI[Account]=B3),0),,COUNTIFS(TMI[Client],$B$1,TMI[Account],B3,TMI[NAM],C3),1)}
The function is working well but shows only the first contact name if I have 3 contacts for the same client/account/NAM. (I pressed Ctrl+Shift+Enter)
When I press F9 on the function, it shows all the contact names! so they are somewhere.
Hence, I have copied and pasted this function into data validation / list in the source but it came up with an erreur.
Table TMI:
A B C DClient
Account
NAM
Contact

Table with offset function:
A B C D

Account

All client, NAM and account lists are dynamic !
The code below is fired from a Worksheet Change Event on cell c18. The cell has a userform calendar control to select Date of Birth. What I want the code to do is check the age at the current date and if it is below 16 or over 25, then show the appropriate message. I cannot use data validation to not allow values outside this age range because there will be instances where a person's details can be added if their age is under 16 or over 25. I just need to alert the inputter in case they are unaware or have inputted incorrectly.
When the message box pops up, if they click Yes then the code should take them to the next cell for inputting. If they click No then it should stay in cell C18 and hopefully pop the calendar back up (I've not tested this bit yet).
The code as it stands brings up the "This person is under 16 years...." message no matter what date of birth is input.
VB:
Sub AgeValidation()
Dim age As Integer
Dim dob As Range
Dim AgeMsgAnswer16 As String
Dim AgeMsgAnswer25 As String
Set dob = Worksheets("Monitoring Form").Range("c18")

I have a userform where I have 2 comboboxes. The first combobox shows the the first column (only 1 of each) and the second comboBox shows me the secondary list that correlates to the valuse in the first from column B. Now I have a text box that I am trying to get the value from column C depending on what I have in the first 2 comboboxes. What is the easiest way to do it? This is all in VB since it is a UserForm, and using Vlookup seems to be too many lines if I go that route. Is there a way to use Index and Match in VB where it would be more efficient? I attached just a sample of how the data would be layed out in the Excel sheet.
View 4 Replies View RelatedFor some reason my data validation cell is not working when I first open up the spreadsheet.
I have to go to data validation, open it and just hit ok, then I am able to use my drop down list.
My data is this
"=OFFSET(name,MATCH(LEFT(B2,LEN(B2)),LEFT(address,LEN(B2)),0),0,SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(address,LEN(B2))=B2)),1)"
I have a data validation list does nothing upon start up (not working). The formula is:
=OFFSET(E$1:E$5,MATCH(C94,LEFT($B$3:$B$87,LEN(C94)),0)+2,0)
If I go into data validation and just click OK (leave formula as is), it starts working again, but the next time I start up the same thing happens.
I'm trying to add code to validate the format in which users are entering in a date within my userform, and I am also trying to validate if they enter in a specific value within a combobox, they will be unable to enter data within a textbox further down in the userform. Here is how my code is currently written, but neither my date or data validations are working. I have bolded the new coding I added to an existing code that was created by someone else at my job prior to it being given to me.

Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()

I have a UserForm with Combo Boxes, List Boxes, Text Boxes etc. When the OK button is clicked I want it to ensure certain fields are not left blank and notify the user (see code below). This works great for the combo boxes but not for list boxes. It seems to skip over that code. In other words, in the code below, if a manager is not selected, it doesn't notify the user.
Private Sub OkButton_Click()
'Verify fields are not left blank
If cboAgent.Value = "" Then

I have set cell validation to use a named list and checked 'In-cell drop-down'. The validation works but the drop-down is not working.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the following code to check the date of birth entered into cell C18 and to alert the inputter if the age is either under 16 or over 25.
VB:
Sub AgeValidation()
Dim age As Integer
Dim dob As Range
Dim AgeMsgAnswer16 As String
Dim AgeMsgAnswer25 As String
[Code] .....
It works to some extent in that the correct message box pops up if the age is under 16 and similarly if over 25. If answering Yes on either message box then the correct thing happens. Its what happens if the inputter selects No thats not right. If the age is under 16 and the user selects No in answer to "Is this correct?" then the code is clearing the cell contents and showing the calendar again but is also popping up the 'Over 25' validation message box which then won't go away until Yes is selected. Also there are then multiple copies of the calendar open.
What I need the code to do is look at the date selected from a popup calendar in c18 and decide if that age is within the 16-25 year old range. If it is outside that then the inputter needs to be alerted to it. I can't use the inbuilt data validation because there are some scenarios where it would be acceptable to have an age outside of that range but we want to cover inputting errors as well as double checking the age.
When a msgbox pops up to alert the inputter and they choose "Yes" to say the date of birth is correct then I want the focus to go to cell C20 ready to input the next piece of information.
When the inputter selects "No" on the message box, then I want the original date to be deleted and the calendar to reappear so they can select another date. So effectively resetting the field so they can start again choosing a date like when they first entered the cell.
There is a range of quarters and relevant dates like from and till - means if you have 1 Q 2009 => it means from 01.01.09 till 31.03.09. I would like to have following in my excel. There is a validation for selecting Q from list, once you select Q, there is LOOKUP function displaying from and till dates. But however it's not working, in same cases it's working, but in most cases the from/till period is not relevant to selected quarter.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a tracking sheet... in that I got in column C say "priority" there I have a drop down list date say P1, P2, P3
Now I need to restrict that if a user enters a data in the C2 and trying to enter a data in D2 leaving the drop down list data blank in C2. A error message saying "pls select priority forst" etc...
I got the following solution from moderator:
You can apply the Custom Data Validation formula =LEN(C2)>0 to D2, making sure that Ignore Blank is unchecked.
It works but, when I enter something in that cell it gives the error message and when I click OK or Cancel it just ignore the conditions and leave the data what ever I entered and moves further.
I have a list for example with two variants "YEs, "NO"..
Is there any possibility to choose YES or no in any cell an reflect the same value in another list on another sheet.
I'm not sure if its possible to do what I want. I'm trying to do it without VBA as my users might have a high macro security setting.
I have a validation dropdown in A2 where they pick 'yes' or 'no' for FLSA. I would like B2 to be a dropdown (validation, listbox, whatever) that would change based upon A2. If A2 is 'yes' I want to use the data in A5:B7 and if its 'no' use A10:B12. Ultimately I want B2 to equal one of the numbers from A5 - A7 or A10 - A12. However when they click on the drop down they see the combo of column A and columb B as column A has no meaning for the user.
I'm using the following code to try to ensure a value is entered into a text box, but when I click over to the next text box skipping the first one entirely, I don't receive any message indicating the previous box is empty. I'm trying to make it so certain fields are required and others are optional. Here's the code I'm currently using:

I'm trying to validate a cell in Excel 2007 that should contain only two letters.
Formula:
Code:
=IF(AND(LEN(A1)=2,ISTEXT(A1)),TRUE,FALSE)
When the value of A1 is JK, the result is TRUE
When the value of A1 is 12, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is 3K, the result is TRUE
When the value of A1 is K3, the result is TRUE
When the value of A1 is 123, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is JKL, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is 3, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is K, the result is FALSE
The LEN function works as expected, but the ISTEXT function does not, whenever the cell contains a number and a letter. I've tested the LEN and ISTEXT functions separately, and get the same results.
Is it me, or is it Excel?
I can't seem to find a way to make a data validation list automatically show the first item in the list rather than showing blank.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI'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 am trying to create a fairly simple spreadsheet with about 8 columns and about 400 rows. One of the columns features a drop-down list with about 8 or 9 different options. Dependant on which option is selected, i would like the entire row to change colour with that option.
For example:
FAILED - whole row changes red
SUCCESSFUL - row has no fill
Tested - row changes to orange
etc.
Is this possible within Excel 2003?
I'm looking for a way to get a unique list from a column to a data validation drop down list. Any fancy formula or vba script to create a UDF which. Does this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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)
I am attempting to use a named range as my Validation data source but have two questions:
1) It seems when you use a named range as a source the user can enter in any data they want in that cell. I really only want the user restricted to the list I give them. If I enter the list manually in the source box then it works but I really want to use a named range
2) My range is fixed to 10 cells and the user can enter in as many variables as they want (up to ten). When a user clicks on one of the cells that the validation is set to read the range the user has to always scroll to get to the top. When selecting the cell Ecel always defaults to the bottom choice in the list. I want to minimize the VBA because Mac users will be using this and VBA seems to be touchy with macs.
I 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 mtrying to get a validation list change depending on what is chosen in another list. I have attached an example, Yellow box is my validation and weather List 1 or List 2 in chosen I want the red box to be a choose of the list attached to those options. I've tried to put an If in there but I’m al a loss.
View 3 Replies View Relateddear....can i set width in list box data validation (width in cell i set short).thanks
View 9 Replies View Relatedis 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make some of my data validation dropdown list boxes narrower. I was told one way to do that is to use combo boxes. (If there are any other ways, please let me know!)
I don't think my combo boxes are working. I had tried to make a combo box appear in each data validation pulldown cell by using this tutorial:
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal10.html
I followed this tutorial word for word, but when I try to test the code at the end by double-clicking on a data validation pulldown cell, no combo box appears.
Here is something I have found while sorting data from a much larger spreadsheet but is quite disturbing that Excel will not sort very specific lines based upon a secondary value. From the data below try the following:
Select all the data and sort the rows by a primary column of E and a secondary of D both "Descending" and no header row of course.
In my Excel 2003 on two computers you hopefully will notice that row 1 and 2 refuse to sort based upon the secondary D column descending however rows 3,4 and 5,6 will sort correctly. Flip it back to "Ascending" for the secondary Sort of column D and it works correctly for 3,4 an 5,6.
Why does Excel refuse to sort rows 1 and 2 correctly based upon the secondary column D?
I am using Data Validation on some fields to create a drop down list from a named range! These fields however allow you to enter values that are not in the list.
Is there a way to make the cell have to be an entry from the data validation list?
