I need a way to convert the AA1,AA2,etc. in column B1 to the names they represent, when I paste my report in. The values in B1 vary each time the report is ran and there are 2 values for each name so I need it to always resolve to the right name.If anybody has any ideas,like a macro or formula,
I am trying to create a Data Validation drop down, that is based on contents of 2 different cells, without using VB. I tried doing this with an "if" formula, but it did not work.
Column F is a DV with a list for Area. I can use "=INDIRECT(F115)" to have separate ranges for column G, but I would like to use DV in column H, based on the values in F & G.
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 worksheet containing a list of states in column A and a list of companies in column B (along additional data in columns C-L). I want create a lookup formula on a separate worksheet where users can select the state from a dropdown menu and it will return the information from columns B-L for that state.
For example:
A B C D Alabama ABC Company Active Expires December 2009 Alabama 123 Company Expired Expired April 2008 Alabama XYZ Company Active Expires August 2009 Alabama Larry Company Expired Expired May 2006
How can I do this without losing my mind? I've tried various Index, Small and Match formulas and none of them work.
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.
I have a spreadsheet setup like a timesheet: Employee Name, Classification, Rate, etc.
I setup the Employee Name field as a drop-down. Since there are numerous employees with different rates, I want to just select a name so that the other fields fill-in with the appropriate rates.
I've looked through the forum, and have seen several requests for data validation defaults, but not related to cells that need to repopulate to defaults based on an action. I'm attaching my worksheet to get an understanding of what I'm trying to accomplish.
Default Data Validation Help.xlsx
Basically, any time a new employee name is selected, I want default review begin and end dates populated to the data validation cells so that the dates don't have to be manually selected every time a new employee is reviewed.
- I type a number in a cell - If the number is not a multiple of an adjacent cell, it will automatically do a ceiling to that number - If it is a multiple it is ok.
telephone codes in SA begin with the international code of 27 which when followed by a mobile number drops the zero from the Mobile numbers. eg 27722732415 without the SA code should be 0722732415. i want to remove the 27 and substitute it with a 0 ONLY if it occurs at the beginning of the number and not when it occurs in elsewhere within the telephone number
And on a different sheet in the same workbook, have 45 different values to be converted:
What is required?
Knowing that using a VLOOKUP function, i can compare a value in the first cell to the list and return the desired value, i need to substitute the strings of characters with those the the list of 45 values so that i can proceed with my work.
Basically, for the 1st Cell for eg..
2232-2232-
I will need a formula to replace "2232-" by the value which a VLOOKUP function will give when comparing to the list of 45.
Result shall look like below:
20-20-
Looks simple when have the same set of characters in the cell, but for a cell which has multiple sets:
2210-22G1-45R1-45G1-20R1-20GP- It becomes difficult for me. What i need exactly is:
Formula to substitute using the vlookup function so that it performs a lookup of the value in the specified cell with the list of 45 values and returns the value (20- or 40-) to be substituted in the cell. What i need finally is a set of 20- & 40- replacing the sets of present data.
I need someone to go through them assigning a building number, level and location to each of them. I am using drop down menus, the first choice is building and has the following options:
B1 B2 B3 B4A B4B B5 B7
Depending on the option selected there maybe different locations, i.e. B1 has the following available locations:
1-4 4-16 MER ALL KIT
Whereas B7 only has: ALL. The third column, level, operates in a similar way.
I have several data validation lists that are driven by named ranges. These ranges include blank cells in order to allow for expansion of the list easily - without updating the named range itself.
Seems like because of these blanks rows...excel is accepting any value. The list is visible and can be used, but the user can also enter in a value not on the list. (when I remove the blank rows from the range, the validation works properly)
data validation to display a list of values. The problem am facing is .. this list has a lot of names & it becomes difficult to scroll through when i need to search for a particular name.. Is it possible that when I press a key on my keyboard, the name starting with that letter is highlighted in the drop down list.. This is not happening automatically using data validation... Is there a work aorund for this?
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.
I would like to put a data validation check on a cell to make sure only numbers are inputted in the cell (As opposed to words). So I was looking to write in 2 data validations: 1 to say =value(A1) and the other to allow a zero to be inputted as well. How can I write these both in?
Is there a way that I can set up more than 1 sublists in excel? Below is the criteria and conditions. I was able to create the Primary List and then the first sub-list but that is it.
Primary List:
Business Unit 1. Majors 2. SBS
Sub Lists 1: Case Type/Request (All Case Types should link to the primary lists for all business units)
Sub List 2:
Depending on the case selection in sub list 1, this should show the Queue Name and/or Email Address that the case should be routed too.
Below is a screen print to show the setup of the excel file.
Column A is the Business Units Row 1 is the Case Type/Request Column B/Row 2 and on are the actual queue names and/or email addresses.

I have 37 workbooks that are timesheets for employees for calendar 2007. Each one has 52 tabs for the weeks of the year. Each worksheet has a particular column that needs to have a drop-down selection. That's working fine as long as I do it one worksheet at a time.
Since I don't relish doing this 1,924 times (37 employees x 52 weeks), I opened a workbook and selected all tabs (first, shift, last), but when I tried to highlight the cells that need the drop-down info, "Validation" under "Data" was grayed out. I checked another sheet and found the same thing. As long as I do it one worksheet at a time, it works fine.
Can data validation, for the purpose of adding drop-downs, not be done across multiple worksheets within the same workbook?
I am needing to create 2 drop downs that are dependent on 1 drop down. I have named lists that are on another worksheet. I've gotten so far as getting the 1st 2 drop down lists work but my third drop down I just can't figure out what the formula needs to be. HELP!! I've been working on this for a week now and I'm losing my mind. I've checked the contextures website and it does NOT answer this question.
Is it possible to have a dependent validation drop box that under certain conditions automatically produces an actual value in the cell instead of a drop-down list to choose from? For example, if I choose “Holy Avenger” in the first drop box, and the value for that choice in the second drop box is always a “2”, can you get it to auto-populate in the cell occupied by that 2nd drop box (cell B5 in the attachment)? Or, are you restricted to using Lists only, meaning that you could create a List that only has the value “2” in it, and the user would be required to choose the “2” in the drop box?
I have a list of values (say a, b, c, d, e) and creating a drop down menu with these values in say A1. Say I chose 'c'. Now in cell A2 I want to be able to choose from the same list without being able to choose 'c' again. In cell A3 I want to be able to choose from the same list without being able to choose the values lalready chosen in A1 and A2. and so on.
I don't want ppl to be able to paste values in cell - them must either type the data or select from list.
Also - the sheet is protected but col a is open
have tried...without success
Code: Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then Application.CutCopyMode = True End If End Sub
I have multiple sheets (Sheets "A", "B", "C", etc) with the same structure and formatting. For these sheets ("A", "B", "C", etc.), I want to create dropdown lists in column F (cells F2:F100) based on values from a different worksheet (Sheet "DropDown", Cells "B2:B130").
I saw a previous post [URL]... which had a single sheet example. I am trying to come up with vba code for multiple sheets and so far it's not working.
VB:
Dim wkst As Worksheet For Each wkst In ThisWorkbook.Sheets ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="listdata", RefersTo:= _ "=dropdown!$B$2:$B$130" With wkst.Range("F2:F100").Validation .Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _ xlBetween, Formula1:="=listdata" End With Next End Sub
Is it possible to create a formula using a Data Validation List where it will add a new entry to the existing entries in a cell? For example: I have a data validation list with the names of Pete, Chris, Bruce, Carly, Megan, and Becky. With the normal data validation set I can select one entry and it will be output into the designated cell. If I select Bruce then Bruce with be placed in the cell. Is it possible to set it up so that each time I click on data validation it will add an entry to the already existing entry? E.g. I have already selected Bruce then I decide to add Becky, I want the output cell to show both Bruce and Becky.
I know I can do this with a formula that will place all the results from different cells into a single cell, but I would then have to create multiple data validation entries of which I would rather avoid if possible. Not to mention I don't remember how to do this formula anyway......
I have multiple worksheets with different data which are as follows:
Sheet 1 - Pricing Sheet 2 - Selections Sheet 3 - Summaries (created later with a pivot table)
For the most part I have the sheet working as I want it to, the issue I have is on the selections sheet. The Selections sheet has data validation linked to the All Data sheet via a drop down list, what I would like it to be able to do is to display in the dropdown list 2 separate columns from the All Data list rather than just the primary list.
Allow me to elaborate:
Sheet 1: Column A; Socket, Socket, Socket, Cable, Cable Column B, Supplier A, Supplier B, Supplier C, Supplier A, Supplier B
So just to confirm I would like to be able to select the item from column A but it also display (while selecting), column B side by side so that a comparison can be made as part of the selection process.
I've looked at the data validation tips and understand how to make a second dropdown dependent on the 1st, but how about a 3rd dependent on the prior 2 selections and so on.
I would like to have dropdowns based on a dataset of 4 columns (Location, Department, WorkGroup, Employee) that frequently gets updated. I would like to have the user select a location then a department then workgroup and employee. I would then fill in a worksheet with other pertinent information. I can get the 1st two dropdowns to work, but haven't found the key to being able to continue to drill down based on the 1st two options.
