Sort By Definition? And Auto-fill Lists?

Oct 7, 2008

I update a daily incident report that is sorted by priority of the request as well as the date/time. In the past, I've recorded and run macro's to add a number to a priority so that it can sort numerically. Lately I've been tasked with building similar functionality into more reports. I am wondering whether I can tell Excel what order to sort items into (ie "Sort by HIGH, then MEDIUM-HIGH, then MEDIUM, then LOW)?

With regards to auto-fill lists (for want of the proper name), I report on multiple IT systems that fall into six "system" categories. Is there a way I can set up the "System" column to automatically update the correct data once the IT service is entered, rather than manually look up systems category then click the relevant system in the drop down box?

Auto Fill After Inserting Row Without Using Fill Handle?

Apr 30, 2014

Is there anyway to automatically fill the empty added cell after inserting a row without using the fill handle? For example, for a series of numbers: [URL]

2. Drag the fill handle Selected cell with fill handle across the range that you want to fill.

Or running balance: [URL]

2. Extend the running balance formula into the new rows by selecting the last cell in the balance column and then double-clicking the fill handle.

Split And Sort Lists

Jan 20, 2009

I've got a list of IP address in a column, between some others.
I basically need to copy the cell in a new column if the value match a criteria, and in an other column if not. e.g.

columnX new1 new2
a a b
b a b
a a
a a
a
b

it could be easy with a simple if condition, but that would create some empty cells.
So is anyone has an idea on how I could do that ? (I guess I could do it with VBA but I would prefer to find an easier solution as I'm not really confident with my VBA skills)

Using Lists To Sort Data

Apr 30, 2013

1) Imagine i have a row 1 with names, column 1 with bank account numbers, and under each name corresponding to each bank account it says "yes" or "no" depending on whether or not they are authorized on the bank account. How do i make 2 drop down lists, 1 with bank account numbers that produces the names which are authorized on the account and visa versa (list with names showing bank a/c numbers). It needs to be able to be updated easily.

2) Suppose I have the table as described above and another excel file with 1 column as bank a/c's and another column is authorized bank users. In this column however each cell just has a bunch of names for example one cell may contain (james, john, jack, jennifer, bill). Is there anyway to check these names against the ones in the table from the other spread sheet?

Fill Down Based On Another Lists Final Value

Jul 13, 2007

I run a report of varying length that generates times. I need to take the final time from 'Column J' and make that the final value for 'Column U'. 'Column J' has a varying number of entries and the times are not equally spaced out. In 'Column U' I want to go from the start time (which I have referenced from J:2) to the final value in 'Column J' and include every minute in between. Then I need to take the new list of every minute from 'Column U' and make it the x-axis of a bar chart.

Using Two Custom Sort Lists In Macro.

Aug 4, 2009

This is somewhat related to a post I had submitted previously but a bit more complex http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?p=2139259. I have following code, which sorts data if user "double clicks" on cells A1, B1, C1, D1, or E1.

If the user "double clicks" on cell D1, I want to sort by column D using following custom list: AA1, AA2, AA3, A1, A2, A3, ZZ1, ZZ2, ZZ3, Z1, Z2, Z3. If the user "double clicks" on cell E1, I want to sort by column E using following custom list: AAA+, AAA, AAA-, AA+, AA, AA-, A+, A, A-, ZZZ+, ZZZ, ZZ+, ZZ-, Z+, Z, Z-

The issue I seem to be encountering is that I can’t use more than one custom list (e.g., if I use the column D sort list for column D, column E is also using the same list). I can’t seem to apply individual lists to each column. Would I need to “hardcode” the lists in my macro?

Merge & Sort Dynamic Lists

Aug 5, 2008

I need to create a BOTH box that will dynamically pull names from both the "Chicago Office" & "Seattle Office" columns in my sheet. It is extremely preferable to do this without VB Script if possible to avoid the security warnings on opening the sheet. (Our IT department will not budge on this..)

Detail:
I have two lists of employees. Column A lists the Chicago Office employees. Column B lists the Seattle Office employees. I've been able to successfully define named ranges to work with these as dynamic lists. I can append names, or delete names, and the Chicago, or Seattle boxes (drop downs created with data validation formulas inside named ranges) will reflect the updated names correctly. I have been unable to make a single drop down with all the names from both offices, that is updated dynamically. I've attached a sheet so that this is easier to understand. Basically I need the "BOTH" drop down to actually work.

The Chicago range is defined as:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$11,0,0, COUNTA(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$11),1)
The Seattle range is defined as:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$11,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$11),1)

In the boxes on the right of the lists, I just have a Data Validation List formula as:
=Chicago and the other as =Seattle

Drop-Down Lists: Can We Fill 2 Columns At The Same Time?

May 13, 2009

Is there a way to have a drop-down list fill two columns (actually, two adjacent cells) when a selection is made from the drop-down list? Maybe using an array in the source formula?

For instance, let's say I pick a doctor from the drop down list, I would like the doctor's practice to automatically fill the cell next it so that the two always go together correctly. In the lists example below, when I select Dr. Elmer in column A, then I want Internal Medecine Associates to go in column B.

MD Practice
Dr. BartholomewCentral Endocrine Specialists
Dr. Elmer Internal Medicine Associates
Dr. StamfordCardiology Associates

Sort And Move Code, Create Equipment Lists`

Mar 5, 2007

I have been using Excel to create equipment lists for my work. The forum has helped me by creating a visual basic macro to create a 'final list' sheet compiled from the other source worksheets.

On my 'final list' sheet I need the first 10 rows to be left out of the macro’s so that I can add header information like job reference etc. I have tried altering the visual basic code by adjusting the row numbers in it so that it starts at row 10 but this keep's on producing error codes. This is due to my limited knowledege of what each line does.

I also wish to be able to paste new equipment into the final list sheet. When I do this at the moment the code does not recognise it is there and does not carry the information accross back into the source sheet. It is the same when I block select an area and delete the code does not recognise I have done this which is fustrating.

Dependent Lists & Auto Report

Jun 22, 2009

I have a 2-part question:

1) How can I create 2 lists dependent on the same primary list?

2) Once I get number1 resolved, I have a data sheet of 30 col and over 6k rows. I need to create a report that when a user select the 3 options from the dropdown lists (Category, Location, Product) the Report sheet will get populated with data from my data sheet based on those selections. I'm looking to have somewhere between 10 and 13 columns (numerical, general, text data type). Is there a way to automate this process vs. writing 10s of lookup formulas? to bring the data in? My workbook is already over 25MB!

Auto-Merge Dates In 3 Columns And Then Auto-sort Merged Columns

Jan 10, 2012

I have dates values in 3 columns.

A1 - Header - "Holidays in XXXX'
B1 - Header - "Holidays in YYYY'
C1 - Header - "Leaves by YOU"

A2:B11 have static dates consisting of 10 dates in each column.
C2:C11 - the user may enter any date at any point of time.

I would like to auto-merge the dates in all the 3 columns (A2:C11) in a single column say D2:D31 and then the system should auto-sort the column based on dates in any one order. So as soon as the user enters a value in say cell C2, all the 10+10+1 dates should get sorted.

Also the constraint here is a user may not apply all 10 leaves at in a year. So many of the cells may have blank values.

Auto Update Or Resync Values In Data Validated Lists

Feb 8, 2010

I was wondering if there was some way to auto update or resync values in data validated lists which are dependant on information in other cells.

I attach my spreadsheet. My list in Cell F32 changes depending on what has been selected in cell F31. However, my problem is that, until you select cell F32, it still keeps the previous value on display, if you know what I mean. So! What I would like to happen, is when I select a different option in cell F31, then I would like cell F32 to update and show the first available option from the new list?

Auto Populate Data Values Based On Dependence Of Two Drop-down Lists?

Feb 1, 2013

I am trying to create an easy fill spreadsheet for a game. I am looking to have data values auto fill based off of the entry of 2 prior drop down menus.

I would like to have values for "Move", "Str", "Spd", "Skill", "Armor", and "Value" auto populate after the "Race" and "Role" has been selected. Data for these auto fills I have put on Sheet2 while the main file itself is on Sheet1.

If possible I would like to have Value increase by 5 for every level in "Rank" on the sheet.

Auto-Fill

Jul 3, 2008

I currently have this code ( which works perfect ) that was written by someone else. It performs an auto-fill in column "A".

I need to learn how to adjust this code to do it for other columns, but do not know currently.

Maybe someone could highlight of BOLD the adjustments to direct the code to the column.

Sub fill_rows_A_4()
Dim arrTmp As Variant
Dim lngRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1") 'adapt
arrTmp = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
For lngRow = 1 To UBound(arrTmp)
If arrTmp(lngRow, 1) = "" Then arrTmp(lngRow, 1) = arrTmp(lngRow - 1, 1)
Next
.Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(UBound(arrTmp), 1)) = arrTmp
End With
End Sub
