This area of my worksheet, Sheets("ACTIVITY").Range("AM2:AM172"), is currently populated by text values from a dynamic, validated list, 'DEL_2'.
Is there a simple way to effectively 'toggle' (on/off) data validation - maybe with right-click - in this area, so that the user can type what they want if their chosen option can't be found in DEL_2?
I lost my right click option in excel, all I get is a little gray box that does nothing. I know it is something I did today, it has worked perfect before. Has anyone seen this happen, the problem is only in excell 2003.

Here is an example of the process flow where a user decides to select 'New Visits' instead of 'All Visits':

My workbook is structured to where if a single sheet is deleted, it screws up all my formulas. I tried to just password protect the workbook, but doing that removes the "Rename" function, which I still need.

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?
I am making a spreadsheet that allows users to select items from a validated data list. Each item in the list has a numeric value in an adjacent column. When the user is entering data they will select from a drop down of the data list in column "A" and I would like to have the numeric value that corresponds with their selection to then autofill in column "B". I have tried VLOOKUP and IF formulas but cannot seem to get anything to work.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write macro for hiding columns based on a drop down answer. The drop down would be in cell B7 on Sheet 1. The colums affected would be in each worksheet in the workbook. The data validation would have a drop down selection choice of 1 through 16. The columns affected range would be H through W. For example, in the drop down if 1 was selected, only column H would show. If two, H and I would show...etc. This macro should affect all worksheets in the workbook EXCEPT sheet 1.

Is there any way you can use VBA to assign a key to toggle between two different cell formats? I want to toggle a cell from white border with black text to black border with white text and visa versa, with the same key or button. I've searched the posts but can't find this mentioned.

I have several option groups (Y & N in each) linked to cells to display TRUE / FALSE depending on which option is selected in each group. I have another cell which I want to apply conditional formatting to if EITHER Y or N is selected in all groups. At present I use COUNTIF to check for FALSE=0 in the linked cells which works if all the answers are Y. How do I apply CF if there is a mixture of Y & N (TRUE / FALSE) in all groups (I'm not sure if I've explained that well or not).

In Column G I have a Drop down list of dates. In Column H I want to show the month for the dates, as per when they are selected. I tried simple doing in cell H2 "=G2" they changing the format of the cell for just the month. which worked but for the cells in H that haven't had a dates selected yet it brings back January-00 all the way down. I need a way of getting rid of the January-00 but having the cells ready so that wen the date in G is selected the month auto appears in H.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that I am running "onentry" of a worksheet. The problem is that I have some cells that are validated to allow a list. If I manually type a word from the list in the validated cell the macro runs. However, if I make a selection from the list the macro does not run. I guess vba does not see my selection as an entry.

I have a worksheet containing a cell (say A1) that has a validated list of times (data/validation/list) where the cells in the list contain times in 8 minute increments. The user can select cell A1 and manually select any of the validated times from the list. A vlookup formula on this worksheet uses the content of cell A1 to look for this time in another section of the worksheet. When the time is selected manually, the vlookup formula works properly.
As part of a macro, the macro will change the time in cell A1. I do this in the macro by selecting and copying the desired time from the validation list and pasting it into A1. Cell A1 does change to the new value, however the vlookup formula that uses A1 shows a result of #N/A. If I manually change the time, it again works. I am looking for a way to have the macro change this cell to another time and for the vlookup formula to work as it should.
Do not use validated drop down lists in merged cells.
It will only be a matter of time before it breaks Excel.

I'm creating a form with drop downs, and I'd like the answer choice someone makes for one question (ie- what county they're in) to affect the answer choices for a secondary question (ie- what city they're in).
I'd like to avoid using names, at least for the second dropdown (since there would be too many names, and in some of the questions in the data set things change too much for names to be a good option). I would also like to avoid using VBA to keep it simple and maintainable. Here is a simplified version of a small subset of the data.
Drop Down 1:
County (options: Santa Clara County, Napa County)
Drop Down 2:
Cities/Towns (options: the cities/towns that relate to the above county selection, without using names)
County
Cities/Towns
Santa Clara County
San Jose

I am using the following code to find a NAME in my work sheet and to enter their status. But this macro is not compatible if a duplicate or Similar name exist.What I need is I need this macro to activate the search NAME Cell and then a VB box with OK & NEXT button has to appear. if the activated NAME is exactly the one I am searching, then I will click the OK button then it should display the "Enter Employee Status" box and as continue in my code, But If I press NEXT, the macro should search the next similar NAME and activate it, This process should continue until I click the OK button. (Same like CTRL+F function with an additional Status entry button)

Sub Button1848_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating =False

I'm trying to do a few things actually. I am somewhat a newb at programming, although I do understand how C++ and the coding works within Excel. To me, it's like the English language...knowing all of the vocabulary and formatting it right is important. If I don't know the vocabulary, I don't know what options I have.
This tool is being used in the call center I work in. It is to help eliminate repititious information used to notate accounts. I have attached a picture of what the tool looks like so you can have a better idea of what I'm working with. Here are a list of things I'm trying to do which I have searched and not found answers to:
1. I am trying to use a middle mouse scroll to scroll through validation list. This list information is located on a different locked tab. Basically, I have a few rows where a drop down selection can be made and it would be easier to scroll rather than manually moving the slider within the validation list.
2. As you can see, this "tool" an employee and I have created has many buttons. What I would like to do is to be able to click a button on the right and have it "stack" text within a single cell. In other words, if I click the button once, the text may be entered into the "actions taken" cell. If I click another button, I can have the option (or maybe a little "+" next to the button) to add this button's information to the end of the information already entered within the "actions taken" box. I've tried recording and using the keyboard and selecting "end" and then having the text added, but it didn't work. I've seen "loop" VBA code, but I don't want something to repeat, I want it to stack in the cell when clicked manually.
I'm sure there is a way to make the tool much better using VBA code and not use Excel, but I don't have an extensive knowledge of Excel to do something like that. I'm a very fast learner and understand how the coding works, so if you have an idea which may help, and you understand what I'm trying to do here, please provide your .02.
Basically, it's used so the Customer's name and phone number are entered manually, and then just about everything else is automated by the use of the buttons on the right. If I could get the 2 above options to work, it'd be perfect. I just figured out I could eliminate screen flicker and hide the macros working by using:
How can data be input through option buttons, textbox, listbox, combos, checkbox in web pages organised in frames?
