Selecting Multiple Cells To Fill From Dropdown List
Apr 1, 2014
I've made a drop down list and when I select multiple cells and choose from the drop down list, it only fills one. Here's pictures:
So in that first picture, I've selected multiple cells. But when I drop down the menu and click my selection, this happens:
Why is it that all the cells I've selected does not fill with the option that I chose from the drop down. I highly doubt that I have to manually click all the ones I want to fill with what I choose from the drop down list.

I would like to auto-fill cells based on what I select from a drop down list.
For Example:
Drop Down List is located in A1(already created). Let's say it lists items like bathroom,front of building, dinning room etc.
I have created on sheet 2 a list of responsibilities for each item on the drop list. The list has a header for example bathroom and a below it list the responsibilities. I did this for every item on the drop list.
Now, is it possible to select bathroom from the drop down land when selected the list I created in sheet 2 show up in the cell next to bathroom? Also, is it possible to have this happen every time i select a different item from the drop down list?

I want our sales people to be able to select from the list of products we manufacture and have they corresponding information automatically populate. For example, if the salesperson is trying to put a quote together for 500 lbs. of Stainless Steel nails, they can select the correct size and have the list price, cost, margin (etc...) fill in the adjacent cells automatically.

I've created seven names in my data validation source list on Sheet 3 in the following range of cells, A2-A7. My data drop down validation list is located on Sheet 1, A2 in the same workbook. I would like to trigger a macro based on the name I select in this drop validation drop down list that will fill out an address, telephone number, and email address in the following cells next to my data validation drop down list on Sheet 1: B2, B3, and B4. I want it to be designed so that users will select a name and have that person's corresponding address, telephone number, and email address fill right next to their name on the same sheet.

Basically on a summary page, on sheet 1 say I have a formula which picks up the unit cost (I have this as an array across 5 years)
What I then want to do is multiply this by a volume driver. I have a list of these drivers on a seperate page, so for convenience lets say DRIVER_01,DRIVER_02 etc. These are also 5 years arrays.
So what I want to do it be able to select which driver I want to use for volume on the summary, from a drop down box I have set up, and then the formula pick up that named range, and not just recognise it as a text cell.
I need the ability to change the driver in the future, hence the drop down box. I can also get the unit array part to work fine, I'm just struggling to get this driver array to work..............

I'm working with Excel 2002 on Windows XP.
I want to select more than one drop down box at the same time, and copy them as well as rename the cells they refer to.
For example: in A1 there will be a box with LinkedCell set to A1 and ListFillRange set to B1:B5. I now want a similar box in A2, with A2 as LinkedCell. However, when I copy past the box in A1, it still refers to A1 and B1:B5 (the last part is ok). I can easily change A1 to A2 by just changing it in the properties, but the thing is that I also need these boxes in A3:A100. Is there any faster way of changing this?
Also, the ListFillRange might expand in the future. Therefor I would like to know if its possible to select the boxes in A1:A100 and change the ListFillRange to B1:B6 for all at once.

I'm trying to make a spreadsheet that can be used to easily build a collective list of steps, for a user to read and follow line-by-line.
I want a source sheet of "steps" that I can change over time, and the resulting tabs that reference the source sheet get updated/populated automatically.
I've pieced together some VBA code from other sources, which kind of does what I want it to:
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row > 1 And Target.Column = 1 Then
Dim SourceSheet As Worksheet
Set SourceSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Steps")
Dim TargetSheet As Worksheet
Set TargetSheet = Target.Worksheet
Dim c As Integer
Dim Source As Range
[Code]...
But there are some problems:
1) The data auto-populates into a row. It would read better if each step was in the same column, meaning rows would need to be automatically added upon selecting something from the drop-down list. The number of rows that need to be added vary based on the number of steps in the source sheet, for the selection made from the drop-down list.
2) If you make a change to the source sheet, my goal is to have the other sheets referencing the source sheet's lists of steps update automatically, so you only need to update the steps in one spot and everything you've built from them gets updated instantly. Currently, you must select a different choice from the drop-down list, and then change it back, before it populates the "new" steps from the source sheet.
This is my first time using VBA.
What I have so far is attached: testAutoPopulate.xlsm

I have a dropdown list in C24:C50 (=CategoryList) with data validation and a sub list in D24:D50 (=ItemList) with data validation. I am looking for a way to have code automatically run after selecting an item in the data validation dropdown list in column C.
Example; I click on C24 and make a selection. I what it to trigger code that would move me to D24 and open up the data validation list in D24. After the selection in D24 I would like it to move me back and down 1 row to C25. I have not found anything directly related to this but I have found that code can be run after a selection in a valadition list.

I have 5 cities and each city has a set of data in separate tabs. Right now i have data pulled for all 5 cities in a single sheet but its too cramped up..
I want to use a drop down list (data validation) and if any of the 5 cities are selected in the drop down, the data from that particular city (tab) should be pulled up. This way my sheet size will be reduced 5 time which will look good.
A common v lookup wont work because the data has to be pulled from 5 different tabs for 5 different cities.

I have 2 sheets that are used for an inventory that tracks hours on a tool that we use where I work. One sheet allows the user to add items to the inventory along with the current hours on the items. On another sheet, I have several dropdown boxes based on the category of items that are autopopulated with the item's serial numbers through data validation. So far, I'm only able to have the serial numbers fill the dropdown boxes, but I also need to have the hours associated with the individual serial numbers transfer over to this sheet as well in the cell adjacent to the dropdown list.
I assume the pseudocode for this would be for each cell in the dropdown sheet, if it matches a cell in the inventory sheet, grab the cell's value in the hours column and paste it into the adjacent cell on the dropdown sheet, but I'm not sure how to do the actual VBA for it.
I've included my sanitized workbook so you get a better idea of what I need.

I am trying to make a single drop-down list which contains values from two columns.
I should give you the example immediately:
NAME | SURNAME (these are two columns)
Jon | Alfa
Karl | Beta
Lilly | Wolf
And the drop-down list should look like this:
DROP-DOWN
Jon Alfa
Karl Beta
Lilly Wolf
I have already tried to solve my problem with data validation but with no success.

how i can select the most recent 10 cells from a list of data to be included in a formula. I have selected it manually, for example F122:F131. This is fine but i don't know how i can put it so that it will update to the 10 most recent results when i input another line of data. So when i put in more data it stays on the previously selected. I want it to move shift down to include the new data but only the 10 most recent.

I built a searchable drop down list in excel which will create quick receipts from a huge list of products.
I entered my products in one column and their respective content and price in the columns next to it.
My goal is to create a searchable drop down list which will include all of my products so that when I search and select the product my customer ordered it will ultimately pull the content and price with it to form a receipt with multiple products.
The problem I ran into is that my searchable drop down list cannot be copied to the multiple rows below.
Cell B8 is active.

Actually I plan to create an eRequisition Form for our branch sites. My focus would be the consumable items of Lexmark printers. I want to create cascading drop-down lists based on data table (worksheet : All) as per attached. From lots of examples I've seen in this or other similar forums, I notice that in order to allow this cascading to work is by creating column with header name identical with the input in the 1st List. But I'm thinking, if I need to do that, then there gonna be hundreds or maybe thousands columns to create as the number of branches are expanding, so I think tht should not be practical.
I found examples that shows how lookup 1 value can return multiple values but I totally cannot think of a way to allow those multiple values to be returned as dropdown list rather than displaying all in rows of the worksheet.
What I need is that, in 1st list, upon selecting the branch, it'll populate all items related to the branch and when selecting the item, it'll populate brand/model list for the particular item only. The input in the dropdown list should not have duplicates. Been trying using pivot to do this with macro that enables auto refresh once any changes made in the table.
create this cascading drop-down lists just based on the table as per attached? I really want to avoid having to create extra tables to allow this cascading to work.

I used this method to hide previously selected values in a drop down menu. I thought by including that value multiple times in my "employee" list, I could use it multiple times before hiding it. Is there any way to skirt this? I need to use each value three times before it disappears.

I have been asked to edit a worksheet for a client, they want me to create a dependent drop list using existing data from three columns.
I have created a dynamic named range and used and index to create the drop down list, which seems to work correctly. I run into a problem with I try to add the list to more than one column, as it obviously pulls in values from the Helper sheet I have used.
When the user tries to select values in row one after making a selection in row two, the values available for selection are incorrect.
Is there any way to have a three column dependent drop list that can be used in more than one row?
I have uploaded the file here: ownCloud
The information on the tab named 'Cabling Ducts' is used in an index on the 'Helper' sheet to remove duplicate values. The drop down list columns appear in 'CS 1' under the headings 'Cable Type', 'Size (mm)' and 'Cores'. Helper sheet is self explanatory.

There are other dependent drop-down list posts on this forum, but none of them are talking about working with multiple worksheets. I have three worksheets, one called "Main", one called "Universities", one called "Schools".
One the "Main" worksheet, I have two Combo Boxes (the one from the "Form" toolbar). I would like to first pick a university from the combo box and then based on the selection, the second combo box would give me just the schools in that specific univeristy. My guess on how to link the two drop-down list is by the ID column. If I select "University of Washington" which has an ID of "WAS" it would narrow down the second list to ID with "WAS" in it (Which would be "WAS1", "WAS2, etc). The reason I am using Combo Box is because of the "Link Cell" property which give me an output of the number of the selection into a cell. I will use that to get the corresponding ID. I have attached an example to this post.

I'm working with Excel 2003 on a peice for work that requires users to enter their current grade and, if they have one, a temporary grade. Another sheet in the workbook needs to add together all those in a certain grade and who answered a certain way to a drop-down table, so that I can use it to figure out what percentage of staff are of each grade. At the moment it looks like this:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Work_Data!F2:F9827="Grade 1"),--(RIGHT(Work_Data!K2:K9827,3)="Top 25%"))
Which only draws information from the current grade (column F) and the answer they give (Column K). What I can't come up with is a formula that will only take column F as long as column G hasn't got a temporary grade, but if it does have a temporary grade will take column G instead.

When I click on a cell, for example T13, cell U13 will also automatically be selected. I have looked everywhere for something that is making it do that, but can't find an answer.
It doesn't happen with every cell. I have to do some more clicking around to see if there is a pattern.
