Trying To Create A List From A Database Based On A Letter Placed In 1 Cell
Jul 15, 2009
Its really hard to explain. See the attached.. Basically I have kind of a database of Letters and each letter has several codes associated with it, although each letter is different (a few are the same but that's irrelevant), e.g. letter E means you need to use codes 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.9, and 3.10. That information is stored elsewhere. I simply want a user to be able to put that letter into this box and next to it these codes will populate.
For the below formula is it possible to replace the B's (column location) with a cell Say Z146 which contains the letter B (or a number if thats easier and someone can tell me the numbers for each column).
When the formula is dragged into the next cell (down) it takes its column reference from Z147 and then my life becomes so much easier.
I have ranges that are named Math, Reading, Science. I would like to create a drop down list in validation that chooses the range based on a value in a particular cell.
I have a long customer listing, names 5 to 36 characters and several with their location in the name as well as a few common duplicate names. I am trying to produce sheet where the customers name once selected opens in the customers spreadsheet and data can be added/amended for sales etc.The lists are not in alphabetical order as when created a customer number is automatically allocated. My aim is just to type in the first letter of the name and the dropdown appears the customer is selected and their card appears. I have tried data validation, lookup, vlookup, Dropdown and Match/find. they only return the first record found and no sign of any others. Find returned all instances of the letter appearing in every name.
I have a big list of words (raw materials). Can I for example use column1 in which if i type one letter a list of words that begin with this letter to come out so i can choose one.
Or I have for example:
Label 1 Label 2 Label 3
And when i type L in cell A1 list of them to be shown and I can choose one.
The attached file (a copy of my main one) has a list of our engineers, and what stock they carry. The stock parts are the 64, 65, 66... numbers.
I need to create a list from this (as underneath the main table), for all instances where there is a 'Y' in the columns next to each engineer. So if an engineer has 3x pieces of stock, they need to appear in the list 3x times. If they have 1x piece of stock, they appear in the list once.
I've attached a spreadsheet showing the effect I'm trying to achieve. A list (which changes weekly) contains employee details and length of service. Based on the length of service I need to build a new list grouping the employees based on the service length.
I would like to have excel automatically fill an excel cell with a predefined list. For example, if you put the letter l it will automatically include the word large. This is like you do when you fill out a form online. See attachment
Sub BrownBH() If Range("Brown!B4:B31") = X Then Range("C4").Value = [#A] Else Range("C4").Value = NT End If End Sub
However, this doesn't even work.
When somebody enters an X in a specific cell on one worksheet, it's supposed to change the value to A of a specific cell in a different worksheet. Sounds simple enough...but...
ive got 1 sheet,with 2 printable pages in it. 1 being the summery page and 1 being the inventory page.
what i would like to be able to do is. on the summery bit ive got a code in A22 and a number in G22 to save me time i need to create a list in the inventory bit starting at A62
im hoping it will look somthing like this
A62 = what ever the code is ( JR269 ) in A22 A63 = same code and so on until i have 26 in a list, 26 being G22
I am trying to create a list which will summarise information from a dataset depending on two input cells in which dates are inputted by the user. I would really appreciate it if you could have a look at the file I have attached and give me some idea as to what formulae I should be using!
It is important that the position of the output list remains where it is (as ideally I want to draw graphs using the information summarised in the output list.
If your confused now when you look at the file it should make a bit more sense.
Every two weeks: During Payroll, we have a list of managers and specific employees under that manager.
The managers name is in Column A and they repeat.
Normally we filter that manager, copy and paste the data into a new Workbook, save it, and send the info out to that manager. We do not want other managers to see the information provided to the specific manager.
This is a long tedious process as there are close to 30 managers.
1. Is there a way to run a macro (presumably based on a validation list) to filter, copy the worksheet into a new workbook for each of the 30+ managers?
2. Is there a way to save each with a specific name like "Payroll Feb11 - Manager Name.xlsx"
My problem is i need to create a drop down box in excell, now i have a list of names,
Name 1 Name 2 Name 3 Name 4..........
I need all thos enames in a drop down list but i think i keep doing things wrong, I am doing it like this, All names are in cells A23-A33, i have highlighted them and named them (Names) using the name box in the top left corner, i have then gone to Data, Validation, List, Then i have sourced it to "Names" and clicked ok, this is where my problem is. It Makes all the boxes for Name 1 - Name 10 Drop Down Boxes... And when i click on any of them it gives me a list of all the names, when i click on one of the Names that name appears in the drop down box but the original Name dissapears from the box completely!
Name 1 Name 2 Name 3 Name 4 Name 5..................
If a specific word is entered in a cell I want a list to show in another cell. This is better explained in an example. In cell A2 I have a validation list of names, eg. Mary, Mary Birth, John, John Birth,. . .) In cell N2 I have another validation list of places , eg. Ireland, England, Wales, USA, Scotland, . . ) In A2 if a name with Birth is chosen then I only want them to be able to choose from Ireland or England.
I am trying to filter a range of text and copy only those entries from it that meet selected criteria into a new part of my page. The entries will all look like the following but will have varying numbers before the final Equity/Index part:
IBM US 3 C60 Equity IBM US 3 P60 Equity UKX 3 P5000 Index UKX 3 C5000 Index
I have constructed something using a modification of the find nth word function from this site that allows me to filter based on whether the fourth part (or for the third and fourth choices, third part) shows C or P at the beginning and then based on the value that is written after the letter. However, I have to break down the code a bit further to firstly check whether the final word of the string is Index or Equity to decide which word to check for C/P. I was wondering if anyone knew whether there is possibly a more simple way of running a find within one cell than using the nth word function. Would it possibly be a case of making two subs within a different module and then calling them to look for the specific word number based on what I have in F6 (my original equity/index ticker symbol: for example IBM US Equity or UKX Index)? Attaching code below. I'm sure it doesn't make a lot of difference but in case it helps I am currently running Excel 2007 on a Vista machine but I also use it at work on a Win XP PC with 2003.
In that file, you can see there is a list of somewhat similar data across 5 columns. Some of the entries are duplicates, some are different by only one character. What I want to be able to do is generate a list of all the unique rows of data, taking into account the data from ALL 5 columns. The list can be on another sheet or simply just further down on the same sheet, that doesn't matter too much.
I could do it if it were just one column of data, but struggling trying to do it with several columns.
I have a list of names in column A, and want to automatically create worksheets within this same workbook based on the list.
List of values: Dairy NI Dairy SI Sheep and Beef Equine Sports Turf Water Industry Horticulture Services Production Horticulture Other Agriculture
Therefore, a macro or coding to automatically create 9 spreadsheets named as per this list.... My list is approximately 50+ hence inquiring if there is an easier way!
table looks like following: DepID name function S1 a YY S1 b XX S1 c ww S2 d oo S3 e ii S3 f ll S4 t mm . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . .. . . .
S7999 u ee S7999 w aa
My task is to create new folders for each department according to DepID, which means if there are 7999 departments, I have to create 7999 folders, any VBA code can do this?
My objective is to automate the creation of a dynamic top-5 list by summing a number related to multiple entries of an item (text string). Data are added monthly and while the textual strings (imported) are constant (text1 always reads as text1) the text strings themselves may vary from "text1" to "text2", etc. What I'm trying to achieve is finding the top-5 five items and copy/paste them to a range on the same worksheet. The range into which they are pasted are source cells for DSUM criteria. The frequency with which a text string appears is not critical, but the associated count is.
=> and for my ms excel has its columns (year,month,date) in this if i input the date that is base in the database range from StartDate TO its EndDate will automatically put the month and year which base also in my database (year,MonthNum)
HERE:
A1 B1 C1 Year Month Date A2=2014 B2=January C2=01/01/2014
I am aware of the Visio capabilities of importing data into the org chart wizard to create an organization chart. Is there a similar capability in Excel only? I know there are smart art org diagrams, but if I have a spreadsheet of several hundred people, is there a way to import it into a chart (again, similar to the Visio process).
I have a spreadsheet that lists dates in row 6, columns V through BE. We use these dates to log attendance for kids, so under each date there may be one of many symbols, such as "x" if the student was there. I would like to create a list of the dates that meet one of two criteria: either blank or containing "WR". So, let's say column Z is blank and Y has "WR" in it. In column FB I would like a list of all of the dates that were blank or WR, so I would want the dates contained in row 6 for Y and Z. Is there a function that will 1) look for a blank or WR across a row, 2) find the associated date for that blank in row 6, and 3) write the in another column in the form of a list, each date separated by commas? Here is an example of my information. I would like for a function to automatically make the list in column FB for any dates that are blank or contain "WR".
I have two or more fields of data, where parts of them are auto populated based on inputs from elsewhere. That part i have working fine, however the problem arises in taking that information and displaying it as a Bill of Materials list on another tab in my excel file. I want to take the information, and only display it in the BOM tab if that piece of information is being used (ie item count field not being 0). I know how to do that part in a rather simple format, however i'd prefer to make it so that when i have the list, and a certain item isn't used then its not included in the BOM, and an empty space is not left behind. I would prefer this to be all be done automatically by a formula if possible instead of just having to resort to sorting the table every time the tool is being used.
Is this even possible in excel, A quick example doc is attached, shows 2 example fields. i'd like to take the information from those 2 fields. and somehow create a single list, with a single heading along the top, with all row containing a 0 "Unit Count" to be omitted entirely from the list, and not have a blank space where the item should be. Keep in mind these fields may be greater than 2, and may not be position one after the other in a strait down line.
I am trying to create a 'Database' of Project Managers where by a skill can be entered into a cell and the VLookup will lookup the Project Manager that has this skill. There is the posibility that there will be more than one Project Manager with the same skill, formula so that the Lookup can return multiple values
I am seeking assistance in creating a 'database' type function within EXCEL workbook. I need to create a record of all job applications within our area and only a handful of staff have access let alone know how to use access. All are able to use spreadsheet/workbooks. Would like to be able to have entry page (i can do this fine) but I would like a search funtion that will allow staff to be able to track the progress of applications and add comments etc
I need new workbooks based on category name in the below list. Respective sheets should be copied from the existing workbook with items as sheet names. List can be updatable.
