VBA To Select Next Item In Data Validation List
Feb 28, 2014I wrote a macro that creates a data validation list from a set of cells on Sheet 1.
On Sheet two I would like a have Macro select each item in order on the validation list and paste into every fourth cell.
For example, if my Data Validation list on Sheet 1 contains three items: Comp. A, COmp. B, Comp. C
On Sheet 2, I would like to see Comp. A in cell K1, Comp. B in cell O1, Comp. C in cell S1.
I have seen a few codes but nothing that works effectively.

Apr 7, 2009I have a problem in creating data validation. I want to make 3 drop lists which are connected to each other (file1.xls for example). The sample is like the tutorial from Contextures: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html
The source of lists are from another excel file (file2.xls). The method is also from Contextures: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal05.html And then, when I tried this, the second drop list didn't show up according to the first drop list. But, if I put the source in the same workbook (in file1.xls), It could show up. I think the problem is in the name box, but I don't know how to fix it.
Data Validation To Different Workbook
Sep 17, 2006I've got a list of text files I need to import into different worksheets in xl. The list is of the file name and the column start points for the fixed width file. This will be a regular job so if can automate it would save alot of time. I've record a macro that does text to column and adapted it to create an array listing the start points for the particular file, but when I try to use an array name with TextFileFixedColumnWidths, it doesn't seem to work.

Data Validation Between Different Sheets Of Workbook With Formulas?
Jul 29, 2014I am working on a resource management type workbook. In the first sheet,(Project Assignment) managers can enter staff, staff type and hours needed for the next three weeks. In a separate sheet,(Total Hrs per week) I have formulas set to total the hours entered from the first sheet for each resource - using the formula =SUMPRODUCT(--(staffassignments=$B4),--(Week1)) for each week, for each resource. That woks fine.
What I would like to do, if possible, is to present a type of data validation, dialog or popup when the resource's "total hrs per week" total = 40 hours. Different managers use the same resources, so one person may have time entered in multiple times for different projects in the Project Assignment sheet.
Is it possible to use the totaling formula (=SUMPRODUCT(--(staffassignments=$B4),--(Week1))) and an if statement in the data validation or conditional formatting to let managers know that the resource is fully utilized?
Linking Data Validation Lists To Workbook?
Aug 12, 2014I have a question regarding linking the content for data validation lists stored in a different workbook.
The scenario is as follows: I will have say 50 users using a template which contains various dependent drop-down lists. These lists work by using the INDIRECT function which calls the correct drop-down based on the previous selection. The drop-down entries are currently stored in named ranges on a hidden worksheet in each user's file.
However, if I need to make a change to the content of these lists, I will have to open all 50 files individually and change each one. So I'd like to have a master file to which all the templates would be linked which would contain the entries for each drop-down. So when I update a list in the Master file, it would automatically update the drop-down lists in each user's template with any additions deletions.
My question is, how do I create the links between the user templates and the master and have it so that the list ranges will be dynamic. So if a drop-down list contains say 10 entries and I add 2 more in the master, that those 12 now appear in each user's template?

View 8 Replies View RelatedReference Data Validation Cell From Another Workbook
Sep 17, 2008I'm trying to link a range of cells in one workbook to a range in another workbook, both in a network drive. Everything is working out well except for the cells that have a data validation list on them. the formula linking one cell is ='G:Destination To[Workbook2.xls]SheetX!B13 so I'm just trying to get the value in the cell. I don't need the validation list to transfer just the value of what was selected. If I go to that cell and type something in then it transfers over just fine. If the validation list was used in Workbook2 then I get a #N/A in Workbook1 that is linking to the Workbook2 cell.
How can I link the cell with a data validation list in it to a cell in another workbook so that I can get the data in the cell (whatever was selected from the validation list)?......

Select Sheets In Workbook Then Consolidate Data
Feb 8, 2014* I have a workbook, with different sheets (with sheet name as Home, RawData, Data1, Data2, Data3, ...), these sheets are not fixed
* FYI... sheet (home) has a VBA code which on running creates a new sheet and pull data from some other source (So the sheet number is not fixed in the workbook, but the newly added sheet is named in a specific format as Data1, Data2, Data3, ...)
* So we can say, that the sheet number and name are not fixed (It keeps on changing)
* All these sheets have data in the same format starting from range A2:J2, except sheet(home)
Two things i am trying to do:-
- Select sheets from the workbook (to be consolidated)
- Consolidate selected sheets in a new sheet
Here is the sample file Select sheet then consolidate.xlsm

View 1 Replies View RelatedLink To External Source Workbook For Data Validation Lookup Values Returns Zeros
Mar 25, 2014Say I have Source Workbook X 1, and Destination Workbooks X 4. The Source workbook contains a number of lookup values. I want the lookup values to be maintained in the single Source workbook, and I want this workbook to remain closed when the end users are using their Destination workbooks. It is critical that certain cells in the Destination workbooks have validated data in order for formulas and summarizations to be correct.
I'm happy if the Destination workbooks contain a lookup worksheet (perhaps hidden). In short, I'd like the contents from the Source workbook, Lookups worksheet, to just be replicated "as is" into the Destination workbooks, Lookups worksheet. I then want to do my data validation from that worksheet, which of course is open (data validation appears to only work with open workbooks).
I've investigated the techniques in this link: [URL]
Questions:
1) Are the techniques in that link about the best approach? i.e. an external link plus array formulas?
2) A blank cell in the source workbook (text column but formatted as General) is resulting in a zero in the external link. How can I make the external link exactly match the text as entered in the source workbook?
Nested Data Validation: Figure A To Enforce Dual Data Validation On A Single Cell?
Aug 19, 2009I'm trying to figure a to enforce dual data validation on a single cell. That is, I need to restrict the user to entering only a decimal value, only if a particular other cell (say A2) is blank. To put it another way, if A2 is blank, the user can enter a decimal value, but if A2 is not blank, the user cannot enter anything. I can use Data Validation to enforce either the decimal restriction or the ISBLANK, but I'm not sure how to make them work together.

Jun 26, 2007It can be done using named ranges. Name the range of the source list and set the validation to List =name. Sheet location does not matter.
I can get it to work using Indirect - but this puts a limitation on the process that the source must be open. Mike, perhaps you could explain more fully how you are achieving this?
