Select Nth Item From Validation List Macro

Aug 21, 2007

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.

VBA To Select Next Item In Data Validation List

Feb 28, 2014

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.

Validation List: Wide As Widest List Item

Oct 28, 2006

I 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.

Remove Item From Validation List After Selected?

Feb 10, 2012

I am a softball coach and I want to create a fielding roster for my team. I have all the players names in column A (A4:A14). I have positions listed in column L (L4:L15) as follows: P, C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, LF, LC, CF, RC, RF, X. Cell range B4:H14 (7 innings) is where I need to have drop downs, but once I select a certain positions for one player in inning 1, for ex., I want it to not be available for the next player in the same inning.

Automatically Select Item From Dropdown List

Apr 29, 2014

I have two cells and both have a drop down list. I would like Excel to automatically select an item from the second drop-down list based on the manual selection of the first drop-down list. The second cell needs the have the dependent item appear in the second cell not just be available in the drop-down list.

For example, Cell A1 has a drop-down lsit of the names of fruits, vegetables and flowers (apples, bananas, carrots, carnations, corn, daisys, tomatoes, zuchinni). Cell B1 has another drop down with three items (fruits, vegetables & flowers) which needs to be dependent on the first list. Further, I would like cell B1 to automatically select the appropriate item.

For example, if "carrots" is selected in cell A1 then I would like "vegetables" to be selected and automatically appear in cell B1. If "carnations" is selected in cell A1 then I would like "flowers" to appear (not just be available in the drop down).

Automatically Select Item From Dropdown List Based On Cell Text

Apr 8, 2013

I have a spreadsheet where user can search for information inside a search box and the appropriate rows are returned using formulas.

I have a drop down list (Category: Model) in the search box as well as a search field (Category: Program, cell D2). Underneath the search box, search rows are returned with column categories: Program, Model, etc.

What I require is that if a user enters the specific program into the search field D2, then the dropdown list would automatically choose which model that program belongs to based on the returned row.

For example, if I typed "engine" into D2 and pressed enter,

Under the records section (Row 14 and beyond), the following record will pop up:

Program
Model
Indicators

Engine
F-16
3a

Based on the record, F-16 would be chosen from the dropdown list. Is there any way this can be done?

Macro To Select A Menu Item

Apr 5, 2007

I am wondering if there is any code to SELECT (DESELECT) A MENU ITEM using VBA? I have an Excel Add-in program installed, which adds a Menu "Easycal" to my Excel menu bar. Under "Easycal" (drop down list), I have the following items:

Refresh workbook
Refresh worksheet
Turnoff Easycal

I am using "Easycal"'s functions in various cells of my sheet "Final". When I select "Refresh worksheet" from "Final", "Easycal" fetches (or calculates) me the data from the "Easycal" database.

I there anyway to include a code in my existing macro, so that when I run the macro, the following are completed in sequence:

1. Select "Turnoff Easycal" menu item
2. Run my existing macro (to pull the data from other sheets to "Final")
3. DeSelect "Turnoff Easycal" menu item
4. Select "Refresh worksheet" menu item

Macro To Delete Item If Not Found On A List

Jan 26, 2009

You can find attached the workbook I am working on.

In my workbook I have four sheets. Only two sheets are relevant in this case: "Sheet1" and "List". On "Sheet1" there in column A there is big range of codenumbers (highlighted with red).
On the "List" worksheet I have a smaller list (highlighted with green).

I have a code also in module1 but the code is not working.

I would like my macro to do the following. Check the code number from the "List" worksheet (green) and search for it in "Sheet1" column A (red). If this codnumber can be found in column A then leave the number on the green list. If it cannot be found in column A then, delete it from the green list. If you open the file, you can see on the "List" worksheet that there are three code numbers in the green range. The upper and the bottom code number can be found on the "Sheet1" column A (red) range, but the middle number cannot be found. So if the macro would work correctly then it would delete the middle number, and leave the other two untouched!

Automatically Run Macro From Validation List

Aug 4, 2006

I want to do now is link the code below to a drop-down menu I have created on one of the sheets in the workbook. I created this list using data validation and declared this drop-down menu as MIndex and the values to choice from are 0,1,2.

Does anyone know how I can link this drop-down menu to the macro. So basically once the drop-down menu is activated run this macro.

Sub SumMonthlyVol()
Dim wSheet As Worksheet
For Each wSheet In Worksheets
Select Case UCase(Left(wSheet. Name, 2))
Case "AJ", "CJ", "PJ"

If (MIndex = 0) Then
wSheet.Range("L52") = "= SUM(R33C4:R50C12)"
Else
If (MIndex = 1) Then
wSheet.Range("L52") = "=SUM(R34C4:R50C12)" ......................

Autocomplete With Validation List Macro

Mar 24, 2008

I have seen this problem mentioned on other threads, but, didn't see the resolution. I got the below code from contextures.com's sample spreadsheet DataValComboBoxSheet.xls. When I press the tab or enter key, Excel crashes. This macro does exactly what I need which is to allow the user to autocomplete from a long list of validation values that come from another spreadsheet. The code causing the crash is the Select Case KeyCode statement when the keycode is 9 or 13. I am running Excel 2002.

Option Explicit

Private Sub TempCombo_KeyDown(ByVal _
KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, _
ByVal Shift As Integer)
'Hide combo box and move to next cell on Enter and Tab
Select Case KeyCode
Case 9
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Activate
Case 13
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Case Else
'do nothing
End Select ....................................

Run Macro Based On Validation List Choice

Sep 3, 2007

I'm looking for a method, vba macro or Excel code, to preform the following task:
In the C column the user chooses one of several options from a menu, let's call these options 1 - 10 (this part is already done). Depending on the choise, different things are supposed to happen:

For 1-9, the formulas for cell A - Q on the current row should be copied to the next row (but with +1 in row number in formulas of course).

For 10, 3 blank rows should be created (well they already are blank..), on the forth row down, A3 - Q3 should be copied exactly. On the fifth row, the same formulas thing that was created for choise 1-9 should be created.

Since the real xls-file is too big already and it contains some sensitive information, I can't attach it here, but I made a small and similar xls-file, that better explain what I want to do.

Is there any way when using dependent validation lists, that once a selection is made in one list, the next list will automatically default to it's first item?

So in the attached example, if Activity2 is selected in cell B7, then TaskC would automatically appear in cell C7 but the user can still choose a different value if necessary?

Excel 2007 :: Data Validation List Crashes VBA Macro

Feb 28, 2012

I have a VBA macro for Excel 2007 below that loops through a workbook and deletes a picture (shape) in a range at the top of each worksheet.

The macro works fine until a cell which contains a seemingly unrelated data validation list on Sheets(1) is changed. The macro then repeatedly trips up with a 'Run-time error 1004 - Application defined or object defined error'.

The cell with the data validation is outside of the range in which the shapes are deleted and does not set any of the variables in the macro.

Sub DeleteLogos()
Dim Count As Integer
Dim NumberOfWorksheets As Integer
Dim Logo As Shape
Dim LogoZone As Range
NumberOfWorksheets = Worksheets.Count
For Count = 1 To NumberOfWorksheets
With Sheets(Count)

[code].....
