I have created a DAta Validation List and it only select one item. I want it to select as many items that is on the list but i can't get it to work for my main worksheet I am working on. I can't figure out why I can't get it to work for the work sheet "This Don't" but it works for the worksheet "This Works" why and how I can change it so both Reason (Column F and H can) select mutliple items on there.

View 2 RepliesI watched a video on youtbe. And the women had three or four items in drop down box. She was using vba. When i emailed her to ask her how she did this, she kept telling me to go to her website and i was supose to figure it out on my own. I am trying to do a start up construction company. the link to her site is as follows Select Multiple Items from Excel Data Validation List - YouTube the idea of what i want to do, is how she clicks on a word and it follows in the coloumn to the right going down. This is what i need to know how to do. It is probably pretty elementary to many of you. But i build, i know how to read prints, to cut footprints for new homes etc. But when it comes to excel i am so green.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am wanting to create a list where I can select multiple items within that list and then print only those selected items. I have created something similar thru data validation, but I can't get it to print.
In addition, I would like to be able to subdivide the list into multiple categories, then select items from these multiple categories and print them.
I have a cell "project titles" entered in sheet1 that populates into sheet 2 - column "Project titles".
I need to keep the values in this column unique. So can I create a data validation such a way that I won't be able to enter values into this cell that are already on the list. This way I can avoid entering duplicates.
I'm attempting to get the sum for an entire row when one particular option is selected from a data list. I'd like to get a numerical total for each cell in the row that has "REQ" selected from the list.
The range of cells that could contain "REQ" are D2:BA2. I'd like the total number of "REQ"s to be listed in A2. And the source for "REQ" is BB2.
=COUNTIF(D2:BA2,"*REQ*")*SUM(D2:BA2)
This doesn't give me an error but the value remains at 0 in A2 when some cells do have "REQ" selected.
I came across these two threads but I still couldn't get it going.
Sum items from Data Validation list
Sum a range if a cell contains a text string
I have a user form named "final report" worksheet which contains 12 cells (B14:18,B19,C19,B38:39,E34:35 and C46) with dropdown list validation. These cells are noncontiguous. The corresponding lists are on the other worksheet--"MyLists". The list are in adjacent 12 columns on that sheet.They begin from cell A1 without any header. I have named them as dynamic ranges. This is-- not exactly connected to my query but still -- I coded the "MyLists" worksheet so that when I delete or add the names in the list, the empty cells shift up or down accordingly in a sorted manner in the list.Here is that
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Columns(Target.Column).Sort Key1:=Cells(1, Target.Column), _
Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
End Sub
to code the "final report" worksheet so that instead of just selecting from the dropdown list, I can type a new entry in any of those 12 cells and the "MyLists" worksheet will get updated in the respective columns simultaneously.
I'm trying to use a List Box to select multiple items on my Pivot Table but I can't seem to get it to work. Its the Report Filter part of the pivot table.
When the list Box is set to fmMultiSelectSingle it work and selects the indivdual items, but I need it set as fmMultiSelectMulti for if i'm also needed to select multiple items. (which doesn't seem to work!)
I am making a spreadsheet that allows users to select items from a validated data list. Each item in the list has a numeric value in an adjacent column. When the user is entering data they will select from a drop down of the data list in column "A" and I would like to have the numeric value that corresponds with their selection to then autofill in column "B". I have tried VLOOKUP and IF formulas but cannot seem to get anything to work.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a validation list drop down box set up to reference data in a defined name list. I would like to be able to select multiple values from this list to appear in one cell (preferably separated by a comma). For example, the defined name list contains the following data:
Choice 1
Choice 2
Choice 3
Choice 4
I would like to be able to populate one cell with the following via the drop down list: Choice2, Choice 4
Is this possible and if so, how?
I have data validation in a cell that says only options from a list are allowed. i.e. =indirect(A1)
If this refers to a list where there is only 1 option available is there a way to display that value automatically without the user having to click the dropdown to select it?
I 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.
I have data validation in cells A1:A50 which allows to select values from a list. There are about 50 items in the list that can be selected. Is it possible to have the user select an item only once i.e., if an attempt is made to select an item thats already selected it show an error message.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Data Validation list in cell A1 of a worksheet called LIST. I would like to modify the macro that I have recorded, the macro uses data from various worksheets. I would like to sort out some code so that at certain points in the macro it will select the worksheet that is shown in cell A1 of the LIST sheet and then carry out the code already recorded. THis will allow me to quickly change a sheet name that is refererred to in the macro numerous times without actually manually editing the sheet name in the macro code.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've got a list of items (formatted alphanumeric) in column G starting at row 2. I would like a cell formula that would randomly select 30 items from this column and place them in column H starting at row 2. One caveat is that the list must remain static once created. If the Rand()function is used, it recalculates whenever the worksheet is updated so that might be a problem.
Cell formula to do this? A VBA solution would be OK as well.
Can you increase the number of fields shown in the list so that you don't have to scroll through the entire list?

If I have a List of Names Running down column A (A2:A10) another List of Names Running Down B (B2:B25) and a Third down C (C1:C15) each of them named Ranges ("List1", "List2" & "List3"), can I create a Pull-down list in Cell A1 that would include the names from all three ranges?
is it possible to refer to more then one named range in my validated list's source field? If not, how can i make more than 1 named range to be the source of my validated list.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have 2 sheets, 1 sheet has a list of materials that require Certifications. The 2nd sheet is actually a report of which materials is needed for the specific job at hand. Column C will be linked to check boxes on a different sheet in the future (thats why i used True/false instead of Yes/no). What i would like to happen is when a cell in Column C is TRUE the information in column B be sent to the Certifications sheet in a list from C8 to C34 with no spaces.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo, I need to figure out how to make the populated contents of a single dropdown box dependent upon the selected results in two other drop downs.
As there are ~35K lines in the sheet, creating Lists is impractical, and VBA is out due to client security settings.
My data sort order is: Region Name > Area # > Facility Name
I have a drop down to select the Region I want to work in.
The drop-down for Area # populates based on the selection from Region Name.
The hang-up is that the area numbers are 1-4 for each Region.
So, I can't simply populate another drop-down for Facility from the result from Area #, but it has to be based upon the results of both of the former results.
I have three individual lists and I am using a formula like this for each of them =OFFSET(Table1,MATCH(F15,Table1,0)-1,1,COUNTIF(Table1,F15),1)
for my final cell I need to create another data validation list which is depenant on the values selected in the previous three lists.. how I would alter the formula to allow me to do that? I tried using and after the match to match all three tables but it never worked
I've found a nice looking formula for looking up multiple values from a Data Validation List which you can find here.
Unfortunately I dont know why im getting a #REF! error for one of my spreadsheets. Here is my Formula {=SUM(VLOOKUP(A2,D:D,{6,7,8},0))}
A2 is the Data Validation drop down list that has most of the Values (Letters & Numbers) I want to look up. D:D is where it will find the Values (Letters & Numbers) and {6,7,8} is the currency I want added up and displayed.
I've tried this formula on other spreadsheets with success, but no success with the spreadsheet im working on currently.
I have a data validation list where more than one value should show the same list. Instead of make multiple range, I want to make it so if any of the values are in a cell the data validation list will show the list that goes with those values.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet where I am tracking several entries in a table that will keep growing. Three fields are Data Validation Drop Down Lists. The macro below works well to clear the two lists to the right when the first one is changed by the user.
[Code] .....
I want this to affect the rows below it in the table as they are added.
I have a list drop down that is dependent on a first list. The first list has numbers, spaces, and "-" at the beginning I need to get rid of to make it a valid name to reference. The "Substitute" function can't be nested enough times to make this work for me since I have a fairly lengthy list for the independent column which has differing numbers at the beginning. The first two examples of the independent drop down (which would dictate the second dependent column and drop down) are:
00 - Preconstruction
01 - General Conditions
I would like to name these something like "Preconstruction" and "GeneralConditions" for valid naming convention.
Second thought:
If character removal isn't the most efficient or possible at all, is there a combination of reference functions that could make this work? Ultimately I want to use these 2 drop downs for reference functions on a second worksheet.
I am new to writing macros and am wondering what is the easiest way to create a drop down and select multiple items separated by comas. The people who are going to input data into this spreadsheet are field people and not technically savvy so need to design something that is just a matter of cliking on the drop down and selecting multiple items and they should show on the same cell separated by commas.

Maybe something like: WA, CA, OR Forms.ListBox.1 is the name of my object. Or do I need to use a different object type?
I'm trying to write a macro to select the multiple sets of the same data for several PIVOT tables. I've tried Slicers but it seems that this takes up too much processing power and always times out.
My workaround is to do a macro that picks out the said data, however when i do the below, plus another 4-500 lines i get told that there are too many line continuations
Code:
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable6").PivotFields( _
"[Postal District].[Postal District].[Postal District]").VisibleItemsList = _
Array("[Postal District].[Postal District].&[AB11]", _
"[Postal District].[Postal District].&[AB12]", _
[Code] ...
What I'm looking to do is express all the postcodes in one line or at least multiple post codes in one go, this is what I've tried:
Code:
"[Postal District].[Postal District].&[AB12].&[AB13]"
and
Code:
"[Postal District].[Postal District].&[AB12,AB13]"
But to no avail.
I have a normal data validation box on excel, but I want to be able to navigate my way through it using a macro. I can select & opent the drop down list with the following
SendKeys "%{DOWN}"
but then an action like
SendKeys "{UP}"
Does not navigate itself up the menu as a normal keystoke would. Any ideas on how to solve this? Basically, I want to select a cell, open the drop down menu, select the first choice in it (so thinking SendKeys "{HOME}{ENTER}" ) all using a macro.
I'm running a pretty huge database with Part Numbers across several Suppliers which fluctuate constantly.
For example: a HEXAGONAL BOLT may have a Part Number ABC123, but depending on the size of the bolt it could be a ABC123-001 ABC123-V28 ABC123-40mm (etc)
There's a lot of data (some of it sensitive) so I don't want the users to see everything - I'm creating a front-end sheet and am looking for a way for a user to type in the Part Number "ABC123" into cell A1, then the Pivot below to auto-update (with Part Number on the 'Report Filter') to show all variations of ABC123, including ABC123-1 ABC123-2 etc - i.e. not an exact match; everything that contains the characters in cell A1.
The relevant information has been ported in and password protected on a sepearate sheet within the workbook, so it's literally a code to make the cell value affect the filter.
I need to count the total number of times 4 different values appear in a column. This formula works for one value:
=COUNTIFS(Source!$C:$C,$B5,Source!$J:$J,$L$3,Source!$L:$L,$H$1)
Where H1 contains the word Assigned. I need to also find and add to count for matches in I1,J1 and K1 which contain New, Pending and Work in Progress respectively.
