I want to automatically set default values in a row dependant on the value chosen in a list. Some of the default values need to be lists where the user can chose to update to a non-default value.
I have tried using a double drop down list. However if the default list value is changed then the dependant list value is changed, the default list is not automatically updated.
I'm using dependent drop-down lists. In the first box the user can choose a color which drives a set of options in the second box. (e.g. User selects "Red" and in the second dropdown they can then choose "Red A", "Red B", "Red C", etc.). Right now, if you select "Orange", it will still show "Red A" from the previous selection until the user selects the dropdown in the dependent box to refresh the list of options. Is there a way to make it so that second dropdown box will default to "Orange A"?
I tried writing some code to do this, but I can't seem to make it work. I've attached my file.
I'm trying to create a drop down list which returns values based on what has been selected in the previous drop down list in the adjacent cell, e.g. if 'Apples' is selected in the previous cell then you should only be able to select from 'Gala, Granny Smith', or if 'Oranges' is selected you should only be able to select 'Seville, Blood Orange'. Is there a formula which would do this, or can I use a pivot table somehow? I'm totally stumped.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to have a drop down list which displays a different set of values depending upon the value selected by a previous drop down list. ie. (drop down box 1)= x, y, z. (drop down box 2)= either x1, x2, x3, or y1, y2, y3, or z1, z2, z3. I can produce a single drop down box thats not a problem but linking several drop down boxes is beyond me .

If column M Says "Lapse" then I want one drop down box to appear in column N, If coumn M says "NTU" then I would like column N to show different drop down options.
Situation:
I have two drop down lists 1) Country and 2) States/province
Country has list: [US, Canada]
If "US" is selected, [Arizona ,Florida, NewYork] is listed in the 2nd drop down list
If "Canada" is selected, [Alberta, Ontario, Quebec] is listed in the 2nd drop down list
Scenario:
First, I select "US" and choose the states to "Florida"
Next I change the country to "Canada" and forgot to choose province
Then, the 2nd dropdown list is changed to [Alberta, Ontario, Quebec],
BUT the current value is still "Florida"
Probem:
Now I have "Canada" and "Florida" selected in the sheet
Question:
If the primary list is changed, can I make the 2nd drop down list to show a default value (e.g. blank or the first entry i.e. Alberta)?
I have Excel 2002. If I start the program it opens with a blank workbook, called "Book 1".
If I then open an existing workbook, I have two Excel buttons in the Windows taskbar: the one I just opened, and the blank one titled Book 1.
At work I have Excel 2003. The blank "Book 1" is also there when I start the program, but if I then open an existing workbook, the Book 1 goes away. I like this way better.
My question is: Is this just the way versions 2002 vs. 2003 work, or can I change a setting somewhere to make Excel 2002 close its default blank workbook when I open an existing one?
I am trying to figure out how to build a drop-down menu with VBA that has 2 built in choices, 'call' or 'put', and based on the selection in the drop-down list (call or put), the value in the cell directly to its left will be 1 (if 'call' is selected) or 2 (if 'put' is selected).
I have tried doing this with the data validation tool, but the problem I have run into is that I do not want to store the items in the drop-down list (call or put) anywhere in the excel sheet.
I have a sheet with a drop down list. When a user selects a value from the drop down list the sheets field's are populated. I would like to make a macro that iterates through all of the values in the drop down list and for each time it does this print the sheet. So will have the full sheet printed for each value in the drop down.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created a drop down list of various material sizes what I am needing to do is to select a material size from the drop down list and a corresponding value is input into the cell. So on say sheet two (Data Sheet) I have Cell A1 25x25 with Cell B1 100, Cell A2 30x30 with Cell B2 120 and so on. On sheet 1 Cell A1 has my drop down list being the material size ie 25x25, so what I need to happen is if I select 25x25 then Cell B1 is 100 or if I select 30x30 then cell B1 is 120.
View 4 Replies View RelatedOk what I am trying to do is lookup a value in a table (kinda like one below but alot bigger). What I plan on doing is creating a drop down list for the rows that show "A, B, C etc) and then another drop down for (AA, BB, CC etc).
So lets say the 2 drop-down list are set to C and BB
I want to be able to fill another cell with the value -134
I would use If statements but like I said the table would be alot bigger than example. If possible I would rather not use VBA due to work security settings.
a b c
AA-110-110-129
BB-115-115-134
CC-117-133-136

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a userform containing 3 textboxes, to calculate derivatives.
User enters two integers in textbox1 and textbox2; and to textbox 3, I need to transfer these values but with a little issue.
For example, user entered 3 to textbox1 and 5 to textbox2. In textbox 3, it needs to show 3x^5.
For example, user entered 7 to textbox1 and 2 to textbox2. In textbox 3, it needs to show 7x^2.
So "x" and "^" are our defaults in textbox3.I tried to transfer the numbers that the user enters to cells A1 and A2, -I don't know if this works- but I don't know how to call them to change the text in the textbox.

I'm trying to programmatically set the value of a combobox but I'm running into errors if the combobox list does not already contain the value I'm trying to set it to. How can I first test if the combobox has that as a valid option and, if not, add that item?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 created a drop down list in three cells for date, month and year using data validation.
But I need these cells to display by default DD,MM,YYYY.
what's the way to do it.
Two of them operate independently of each other, as in it doesn't matter whether a user selects yes or no, those are the two options. The validation list of the third question is dependent on the two others. Essentially if someone selects "No" to the first question, the only option for the third question is "N/A". If someone selects "Yes" to the first question and "Yes" to the second question, then they have the option of a yes/no drop down list. If someone selects "Yes" to the first question and "No" to the second, then the only option is "N/A." Here's my dilemma.
Since what I'm trying to create is going to be incorporated into a financial model that many people will use for to test a variety of scenarios, I'd like to make sure that the first option in the dependent drop down list (in question #3) displays automatically and changes if someone switches back and forth between different yes/no answers.
I've read how to get a dependent list to automatically populate the cell based on the selection in one cell (i.e. if question #1 is a "No", I can make the cell for question #3 populate with "N/A"). But since the validation list for question #3 is dependent on how someone responds to questions #1 AND #2, I'm not sure how to figure that out.
I am trying to generate a list based on the value of a cell. That list will then be used as the range for a drop-down list. Example: Cell A1 returns a value of 15
A drop-down list displays the values 1 through 15. Cell A1 changes to 20
Drop-down list displays the values 1 through 20. I assume I'll need a two-step macro to accomplish this but I can't figure out the logic to populate the drop-down.
I have been working on a few different spreadsheets, and I have gotten almost everything to work. There are just two things that I just can't get right. Here is the first problem:
It seems to me that I should be able to change where the list will display where it says: sh.Range("a10").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
I change the range to anything in column A and it works, but If I change the column, the entire script seems to run in one row, and the days of the week don't move.
Code:
Sub Workbook_Open()
Range("a2:d300").FormulaR1C1 = Clear
Dim sh As Worksheet, dyArr As Variant, rng As Range, c As Range
Set sh = Sheets("Summary")
[Code] ....
Now the second issue, I need to know how to set the array to look at every single worksheet without listing every sheet. Here is an example:
Code:
dyArr = Array("apple", "explorer", "firefox", "google", "java", "safari", "templates")
Now, in the future I might need to add a worksheet in between google and Java, and I don't want to have to change the script every time.
I have a large spreadsheet with many cells that have a drop down list using data validation. The list is a named range with no blanks. Most of the cells show the default I have set. However, sometimes when changes occur in cells next to one with a drop down list, the default value mysteriously disappears and the cell appears blank. The functioning of the drop down lists is intact, it's just that the cell appears blank.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIn Excel I need a particular cell to always have a default value. Say Cell B1 always needs to be 22. If any values are given in Cell A1, then B1 should diaplay that value. And if anyone deletes the value in Cell B1 still by default it should show 22 as the value. Is it possible.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was wondering whether there was any way to save the values put into a form, so that next time you open it the same values will appear - basically I want all the variables I type into my textboxes to be saved when a button on the form is pushed.
But I can't find the magic words - I'll include the code so far below, but the crucial bit is missing (if it is possible at all)...
Private Sub btSaveDefaults_Click()
Dim tb As TextBox
For Each tb In fmImportSetup.Controls
'*****HERES THE IMPORTANT BIT*******
tb.??????? = tb.value
Next
End Sub
