How do you sum data from several cells that derive there answer from a lookup formula that is base on a selection from a drop down menu in another cell. The 6 drop down cells have the same ten items to choose from. Once those items have been chosen I am trying to summarize those six cells to ge a total for each of the item chosen.
View 9 RepliesI have set up a sheet recording an each individual's turnover for my business i.e., hours worked, etc and have set up a data validation table for drop down options of Jan, Feb, Mar,etc....
Rather than creating more work for each month on the worksheet, how can I enable the drop down to contain the data specific to each month?
I am trying to make a drop down list and based on what I select from the drop down needs to populate a different drop down list with information based on what I select.
For example: if I have Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4.
Inside of Sheet4 (My Main Sheet) I have a Data Validation (Drop Down list) in Cell A5 and Cell B5
I would like to choose Sheet1 from Cell A5 and in that same sheet (Sheet4) in Cell B5 I want to have a drop down with a list of names that are located in Sheet1 in Column A:A.
Or If I would've picked Sheet2 in Cell A5 of (Sheet4), I would like to see a drop down with a list of names in Cell B5 (Sheet4) that are on Sheet2 in Column A:A . Is this possible?
So far I could achive it if information I want is located on the same Sheet. But I need it to work if info is located on different Sheets
I am looking to find the best method of pulling data from a Lookup Table I would like to set up a drop down with all the relevant Steel Sections we make it work and have it access the information and display just that information a separate face page. The information I have set up on the lookup and have named ranges fro them all But how do I get the drop down to trigger the process.

In sheet 4 I have defined dropdown in I2 Cell(yellow fill) which has all code fromsheet1 to sheet3. So my purpose is that in sheet 4 I want to select code in I2 cell then it will appear in code column date and quantity automatically for the last cell of date and quantity. Note: I'm looking only the last cells when I select the code in dropdown.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet I use to track reprimands for our employees. Reprimand Counseling Spreadsheet Example.xlsm. Previously, I had to read the entire reprimand in order to determine the policy violation(s) and then manually enter those reasons into the cell. We have a new standardized form, where the manger selects the reason(s) for the reprimand. I wanted a drop down box that I could select multiple reasons for the reprimand and have all the reasons appear on the same line, as well as being able to remove a reason from the line by selecting it again (so I wouldn't have to start over, in case I selected the wrong reason). I was able to find this code, on [URL] .... to accomplish that.
Same Cell Add & Remove
I also need to be able to manual edit some of the reasons. For example "Missed Meal Period(s) #___". I will need to be able to edit that item to read "Missed Meal Period(s) #2". I was able to find this code, on the same website as the previous code, to accomplish that. However, this code includes a line break, which I do not want.
Edit Same Cell
[Code] .....
Since I need the code to work on each worksheet (CIVI - SOCR), will I have to enter the code on each worksheet or is there a better way to accomplish this? Is there a way to combine these two codes, while simultaneously removing the line break? I need to select multiple reprimand reasons in the same cell and edit the reasons, if necessary. I've read and reread that article for hours, but I can't get it to work.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI trying to do a sheet with one combo box (dropdown list) where I want the user to be able to choose "add rows" to make more boxes appear. My idea to solve this was to put all the boxes in the sheet, and then create a macro that either hides or shows the rows with the extra boxes. Now I have a problem that hiding the rows just does that, and only that. The rows disappear, but the combo boxes stay visible (but ends up on top of eachother).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to incorporate multiple conditional (Dynamic?) drop down boxes to enable me to get an appropriate code at the end of the process. This will be used to product data entry and the code will tell Amazon where to post the product. I have many thousands of codes that i need to access and the easiest and most accurate way is to break down everything in to category and sub categories until I eventually get the code I want for that specific product.
for Example:
1730708031Clothing/Baby/Baby Girls 0-24m/Hoodies & Tracksuits/Tracksuit Bottoms
To return this code I would want to select Clothing, which returns a list which includes baby which in turn will give me a list that includes baby girls and so on and so on until I can select Tracksuit bottoms that will return the code.
Each list is dependent on the previous choice
As I have thousand and thousand of potential codes creating range list for each potential category and sub categories is not really feasible and would be very difficult to maintain when changes occur.
With this in mind I have created a code list that breaks the above example so that each category is now in it's own cell and there can be upto 8 (as I've seen so far) potential conditional categories before you return the code and ideally I would like to use this as it very easy to create and update. (see attached)
I might be able to use filters to return the appropriate list each time but don't know where to begin.

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 have 3 dropdown boxes I created using the control toolbox which pull corresponding information from 3 different columns. I would like to be able to format them so that upon data entry in the first dropdown box, the subsequent two boxes auto populate with the corresponding data. Currently I have to select the information for each dropdown box manually.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a price calculator for a particular product line which has multiple sizes and configurations. I would like to use drop down boxes so the user can select the size, type and attachments which will be narrowed down by the previous selections.
I would like the formula to be able to calculate the cost of the components based on the selections made. Based on some research I believe this can be achieved using data validation, indirect function and the vlookup function, however; I'm not quite sure how to go about this.
I have attached the document I have started for reference.

Using Excel 2007
I have six colums (Date; Skill; ST Hrs; OT hrs: Area; Type). I copied and pasted below a small portion of info from the spreadsheet. I know when I copy and paste into a post the information under the headers don't line up exactly...it appears offset, so basically "Date" is of course the date you see..."Skill"'s columns has the first item as nb-mech b..."ST Hrs" first item will be 0.00..."OT Hrs" will be 1.50...."Area"'s first item is "Log FM NO"....and "Type"'s first item is MX07
And there are 17,000 rows of this info and forever growing...a lot of repeated items in each column such as you can see "blaster" has multiple entries on 4/1/2012.
What I am attempting to do which I have not firgured out yet (i have tried array formulas but they bog down the pc forver and couldn't figure out exactly how to make it give me the results I needed...and I also tried sumproducts but that didnt get me what I wanted....and it is being requested of me to NOT make a pivot table but a chart.
What I am trying to create is is the following:
1 - cells to plug in a date range for example cell A1 I plug 4/1/2012 and cell A2 plug 4/30/2012
2 - drop down boxes for columns Skill; Area: Type, which show only unique records in each column
Once I have that, I could then filter all 3 itmes and have only items show in the date ranges I picked and present ONLY the SUMS of columns ST Hrs and OT hrs.
Once the SUMS show up, I can then have cells off to the side that will give a percent break down of what percent of the total hours (for the chose criteria) are ST Hrs and what percent of the total are OT Hrs....and this percentage break down will show up in a Bar Chart, per day chosen in my date ranges....I'm thinking one simple stacked bar per day in the chart.
So say, based on the info below, I wanted to see the total ST Hrs and OT Hrs from 4-1-12 to 4-2-12 for a nb-blaster in LOG FM NO and type MX06.....my result would be 0.00 ST Hrs...23 OT Hrs.....and my bar chart would be one simple bar peaked out at 23 on day 4-1-12.....and within the bar it would be 0.00% ST Hrs and 100% OT Hrs and maybe the total hours for each showing also..don't need that but it may be useful.. ..and no bar for 4-2-12 (because the criteria picked had no hours for 4-2-12)
I have been messign witht is all week and just can't nail it.. I do remember a while ago I would have been able to load the spreadsheet into the post and people could see it in excel...is that option to do that no longer on this site?

[Code].....
My task is to sum up data in a worksheet which counts on the number of "working days"(Exclude Sat, Sun and Public Holiday) between "the date of receiving the case" and "the date of completion" of the same case.
So here I have already listed out the days of each month to distinguish "Working Days" and "Non-working days" by "1" and "0" respectively for the easy calculation of the no. of working days as I think.
like this(January):
Date
Results (Exclude holidays)
1/1/12
[Code].....
Then, I use the lookup formula to determine the receiving date (beginning) and the submission day (Ending) sucessfully.
Receiving date
completion date
Receiving date
completion date
1/3/2012
1/8/2012
1
0
Here comes the problem, I want to sum up the range of cell from the result of 1/3/2012 to 1/8/2012, i.e. (1+1+1+1+0+0)=4 to get the total no. of processing days of each case. I tried to use INDIRECT like "=SUM(INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(F5, A2:A226, B2:B226)):INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(G5, A2:A226, B2:B226)))" but it returns me #REF!
I am trying to pull data from more than one drop down but don't the same data to show if already use, example as follow:
First drop down Contains:- Pants
Shirts
Hats
Shoes
Dresses
if I chose Hats it should not show up in the second drop down
second drop down Contains:- Pants
Shirts
Shoes
Dresses
Is this done in data validation or combo Box? if so how?
I have been writing a speadsheet using drop down lists and the Lookup function to link names to body weights. When using the dropdown list it displays for one name the incorrect weight. All the rest work correctly but one will not. From the list below when I select the name White it displays '68' rather then '80' as it should. If I change the name of White to the number 4, it will act correctly and display the weight '80'. It seems rather bizare.
This is the function that I am using
=LOOKUP(C53,Weights!B2:C9, Weights!C2:C9)

I'm trying to simplify a template we use regularly at work. On the front end page, the one that eventually gets turned into a PDF and sent to a customer, I have a selection of drop downs, which I am pretty comfortable with. I also have some other fields that are populated by vlookups, and again, I have no problem there. What I am struggling with is creating a second drop down list that only has options relative to the first drop-down list. From what I gathered by searching on this, I may have to change the format my data is in, note that I have a pretty basic knowledge of excel.
Master Data (from where I want all the drop downs to come from) - see attached screenshot.
Capture.JPG
So, on front end, I have a drop down that selects from column A. Beneath that there are two rows that auto-populate depending on what company was selected in the drop-down.
What I want is a second drop down list from D, E & F.
So, If I select ABC Limited in the drop down menu, the second drop down should only have John, Jim & Jane as options.
Is it possible to do this with the data in the format I have, or would I need to change the format? I have +/- 500 entries to do, so obviously I'd like to not change my format if possible.
Here's the skinny: From the front page you select a 'heading' from drop down list
example of data:
Heading 1
data a
data b
data c
Heading 2
data a2
data b2
data c2
The problem i'm having is that the resulting graph only plots the bottom line of data (i.e. 'data c') instead of all 3. Ani ideas why/work arounds?
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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do an INDEX/MATCH to return a value based on multiple lookup_values.
The workbook is attached, and what I am trying to accomplish is this:
If 50, 75, or 90 are selected from Column D drop down of this (Main) worksheet, then return Column A, B, and C values for those rows to the Report worksheet.
So in my sample spreadsheet, John, Jim, and Jack's information should be returned on the Report worksheet because their Column D shows 50, 75, and 90. Alice, Wanda, and Cindy's information should not be returned on the Report worksheet because their column D shows Budget Only, Contacting, and 100.
My current INDEX/MATCH formula is =INDEX(Main!$C2,MATCH(50,Main!$D2),0), but this only works when column D has 50 chosen because I have only asked MATCH to return info if it finds something with 50 because I do not know how to ask it to search for multiple lookup_values.
So, as you will see, only John's information is returned on the report worksheet, but Jim and Jack's are not.
I have a drop down (look up list) labeled Equipment that retrieves information from another sheet in my workbook.

I have a worksheet (say, Sheet1) that I am going to manually import a large data set into on a weekly basis for reporting purposes. One of the columns from this data dump will have the header "Design Id" in the first row, but it may not be in the same column every time. I am trying to figure out how to create dropdown lists on a separate worksheet (say, Sheet2) in the same workbook where the data source always looks up the column containing the header "Design Id" from Sheet1 and then returns only the unique values from that column as options in the list.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am developing a spreadsheet with numerous information on our different suppliers offices in the country for each of our outlets. I am tryin to define a way to do the following:
If a colleague selects a company another list will appear with the region and when the region is selected a list of the offices will appear.
I am trying to do is when a user enters in a GL (a 4 digit number) from the list (tab 2) I want it to appear in the summary box below. However the same GL number can be used multiple times so I will have duplicates. The data entered above will always change there is over 200 possiblities the user can enter. So I don't want the data to be specific it will populate based on what is entered by the user.
Can this even be done?????
Say if the user entered:
Column C Column G
4606 $20.00
4606 $20.00
2134 $15.00
2301 $35.00
4606 $100.00
The data in the GL and currency column in the summary box would appear as the following:
Column C Column G
2134 $15.00
2301 $35.00
4606 $140.00

I'm pretty new to Excel and trying to create a spreadsheet for a friend. For the part that I'm working on right now, I have a cell to track donations received for every day of the month for every month of the year. Donations can be split into three categories (Field trips, Speakers, and Misc), so next to the cell for the manually entered $ amount I have another cell that provides a drop down menu to select from these three categories.
What I would like to do is have three cells at the bottom of the page that will total the $ amounts for each category. I've attached the page that I'm referring to.
