Update Validation Selections
Sep 25, 2006
updating validation selections. I have attached an example of a bigger worksheet I use.
Sheet data: this sheet contains the raw- date. Data will be added and changed continiously.
Sheet pivottable: this sheet is used to sort the drowdown list and filter out double entries. A Dynamic named range is set to the pivottable
Sheet form: in this we will choose a code by a dropdown list and the column data 4 is filled by a vlookup formula.
If the data is changed in the sheet data and we�ve refreshed the pivottable, the code on sheet form contains previous data, so the vlookup formula can�t find the data (resulting in n#a depending on using a ISERROR formula)
The following solutions I�ve already tried:
- A userform with a lisbox/combobox in combination with listindex and an index formula. The problem is that when I sort the pivottable the index and data do not match.
- I also used the information in this thread but this didn�t work.
Maybe I have to change the construction of my worksheet, but it is important that it works.

I have been working on this data entry and validation tool for work for a while now. I've got most of it down and works just as I want it to. However, I have made some validation lists for people to select and animal ID when entering some data. Once the animal ID is entered I want to remove it from the source data and the list to stop people entering a duplicate number for the same event.
I'm not sure how easy/difficult this will be but the whole reason for this project was to stop people entering the same data and only allow them to enter data that I pre-define. Its to cut down on mistakes where somone will enter the wrong ID and then finding the correct ID becomes difficult due to having over 4000 animals on site.

I would like to find out how can I create a chart, where it is interacting with the selection of 3 drop down list (created from data validation-list option). It will show up to 12 months of data.
First list would have only Male & Female, 2nd list would have 1st Class, 2nd Upper, 2nd Lower, 3rd Class and Pass Only, 3rd list would have all the months of 3 years.
My data is from J9:U22. These data needs to be changed accordingly, reading from D45:U58.
For the graph, if I select Male, 2nd Upper, and Jun-2012, I want it to show only this selection, where the period will be from Jul-2011 till Jun-2012.
Previously I have done one, with only 1 selection of drop down list, where I used Vlookup. Now involves 3 criterias.
Or is there an easier way to do it?

I've written a procedure that loads a list of country selections in a dropdown (see attached/vb editor/ThisWorkbook).
The problem is the valid values for this column need to be just the two digit country codes, not the country code +dash+country name. The reason the dropdown selections include both the two digit country code and the country name is because most users will not know the two digit codes. Presenting the selections in this fashion will make t much easier for the user to make the proper selection.
So here is what I need: When the user makes a selection from the dropdown list, the resulting value needs to be the two digit country code only. Is there a way to incorporate this formula .... =MID(B2|1|2) ... in the vba procedure which runs after the user makes a selection? Or, is there another way to accomplish this?

I am trying to take two random Mouse click selections and swap a set of ranges associated with the cells that are selected. For example if the user clicks on A1 it will resize(3,22) and store the selection as a variable to be swapped with another selection. Here is what I have so far but I keep getting a object required error on rngEmp1.
VB:
Sub SwapGroup()
If Selection.Cells.Count < 8 Then
MsgBox "Please Select two Groups to swap. Press and hold 'Ctrl' in between your selections", , "Swap Groups"

I've created multiple ranges in a sheet named ' Schedules' that all use one Data Validation list. The list source is a Named Ranges called 'AbbNames', which points to a column ($S) on another sheet named 'Students'.
AbbNames is simply a list of student names--that are values; AbbNames does not contain a formula. However, AbbNames was created with VB code in the Worksheet Change Event. The code is:
Dim rng As Range
Dim rng1 As Range
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
Set rng = Target.Dependents
On Error Goto 0
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
Set rng1 = Union(rng, Target)
Else
Set rng1 = Target
End If
On Error Goto errHandler
If Not Application.Intersect(rng1, _
Application.Range("Abbreviated")) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Range("AbbNames").Value = _
Application.Range("Abbreviated").Value
End If
errHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
If Err.Number <> 0 Then _
MsgBox "Error occured " & Err.Number & vbNewLine & _
Err.Description
Note that students' names were originally concatenated in a column named 'Abbreviated' located in column G.
(this code creates the 'AbbNames' data in column S and updates the data if data is changed in 'Abbreviated'--if data is originally changed in columns A and B, which are firstname and lastname)
To make a long story shorter, I needed a column of concatenated names that were values--not calculated--to base the listboxes off of in the Schedules sheet. Validation list boxes can't be based off of calculated columns, right??
However, the listboxes do NOT work. When a user clicks on the drop-down arrow, Excel pauses for about 20 seconds (the initial time) and then shows nothing in the list except a blank field. When the blank list is clicked, the top name from 'AbbNames' is entered. However, no names can be seen or selected in the list box.

i have a list called "parts". i want this list to be updated everytime a new part # is entered into the list cell. i can get it to work in one cell. i have been able to get it to work in up to 6 rows, however i want it to work in up to 50 rows. here is the vba code i am using
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim lReply As Long
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Address >= "$D$3" Then
If IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("parts"), Target) = 0 Then
lReply = MsgBox("Add " & Target & " to list", vbYesNo + vbQuestion)
If lReply = vbYes Then
Range("parts").Cells(Range("parts").Rows.Count + 1, 1) = Target
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
i am using insert>name>define for the list and this is what i used for that
=OFFSET(lists!$A$1,0,0,COUNtA(lists!$A:$A),1)
like i said, it will work for d1-d6, then it stops working.

I have a drop down list in a column where i want the user to select one of the options which is an action to be taken. The actions would be dependant on the what the persons performance rating was, so for example, if the person has Exceeded their performance targets, the only 2 applicable actions would be High Potential and Emerging Talent. Please see attached file for the actions related to the peformance rating.
I want the validation list of actions to change accordingly depnding on what the persons performance rating is. So in the example attached, i want to look up the rating in column A and have the options appear according in the same row in column B.

In sheet 1, there are two columns, Category and Subgroup. The cell validation for Category is pulled from the category list on sheet 2. Basically, what I want to happen is depending on what is selected as the category, only the related sub-groups would be populated in the sub-group validation dropdown list. In other words, if Fruit is selected as the category, I only want Apple, Orange, Pear, Banana, etc to be in the validation drop down list for the sub group. If vegetable, then only Corn, Green Bean, Cucumber, and Peas should be shown.
I've included two options for the relationship list as I'm not tied to either style and not sure which would be easier to work with.

I already have various dependent validation lists established using the INDIRECT function.
Now I want to figure out how I can automatically change the selected values given the selected list. For example:
Cell D11 is a validation list with options: Boat/Car
Cell D15 is a validation list where if D11 = Boat the options are Catamaran/Sailboat/Tugboat. If D11=Car the options are Convertible/Sedan/Midsize.
The problem is that if D15 is preselected as Sailboat, for example, and you go back and change D11 to equal Car, cell D15 remains an option from the Boat validation list. I would like it to automatically update as the 1st item on the car validation list.

On Sheet2, data validation is applied to cells D21:D70 to limit data to values to a list, which is a named range on another worksheet. There are ranges on two other worksheets with the same data validation rule. The range for the list is ‘Sheet1’!D12:D26 (which is named “Processes”).
On Sheet1, the user enters a list of their processes. Then on Sheet2 (and the other sheets where the data validation is applied), they select one of the processes from the list. This all works fine until they go back to Sheet1 and modify one of the previously entered values.
For example, "Brush Teeth" is entered as one of the processes on Sheet1. It is then selected on Sheet2. Then, the user goes back to Sheet1 and changes the value to "Brush Hair." When you return to Sheet2, the value is still "Brush Teeth." It can be manually be changed by selecting “Brush Hair” from the drop-down list (“Brush Teeth” is no longer available), but it doesn’t automatically update.
Data validation was applied to a single cell (A3) and the list was on the same worksheet (B1:B3).
Option Explicit
Private oldValue As String
Private Const DVCell As String = "A1"
Private Const dataList As String = "B1:B10"
[Code]...
'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be 'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard 'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select 'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
On Sheet2 (I assume I need to add this code to every applicable sheet), I tried editing the first part of the code as follows (changes in bold), but when I click on any cell on Sheet2 that has the data validation rule applied, VB returns the error “Run-time error ‘1004’: Method ‘Range” of object ‘_Worksheet’ failed.” If I go into the debugger, the second instance of “If Not Intersect(Target, Range(dataList)) Is Nothing Then” is highlighted.

how to make all cells displaying an item from the list source update with new information added to list source.
Example:
Cell "A1" on worksheet 2 displays the 3rd slot of information from list source on worsheet 5. I want cell "A1" on worksheet 2 to update when the list source information in the 3rd slot on worksheet 5 is changed.
Notes:
The list is set up by naming the columns on Worksheet 5 and is set as a validation list on the other worksheets. So on Worksheet 2 column "A" has the validation
VB:
AutoLinked keywords will cause extra spaces before keywords. Extra spacing is NOT transferred when copy/pasting, but IS if the keyword uses "quotes".
List=(Coulumn A 's name on worksheet 5)

I'm trying to use combobox1, say, department, to filter items listed in combobox2, say, employees. I don't want all employees from different departments listed in the combobox2 so as to make the user spend time looking, but only names of a particular department once that department is selected in combobox1.

I have used the function = now() to have the most updated time but it updates a workbook when I open it in the first place. How I can avoid this?

Let's say that in column A I have numbers,"Yes" and "No". I want in column B to have only the numbers from column A, in the same order without any empty ranges, and everytime I add in column A a new number, column B to update automatically with that number. Let's have an example:
A B
Yes 12
12 13
No 10
13
No
10
Yes
And if I want to add in column A:
A B
Yes 12
12 13
No 10
13 25
No 15
10
Yes
25
15
So the column be will update automatically. I already tried =IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$10,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER($A$1:$A$10),ROW($A$1:$A$10)),ROWS(B$1:B1))-ROW($A$1)+1),") but using this many times get's my file very heavy and the excel is working slow.

I have some VB code which sequentially opens over 200 workbooks to extract data from each and populate another workbook. These workbooks do have links to other workbooks in them.
For some reason when some of these workbooks are opened I get a requestor window asking whether I want to Update or Don't Update the data. I always want to Update the workbook and believe this can be done in VB by hiding the requestor?

I have a vlookup to another workbook. It works fine if both workbooks are open. But if both are not open and I open the workbook with the links and click Update, #VALUE! returns. I have attached the two files. I don't think it is my formula, but here it is anyway. =IF( COUNTIF([Tempozgrid.xls]June!$A$52:$A$83,A3),VLOOKUP(A3,[Tempozgrid.xls]June!$A$52:$L$82,12,FALSE),0)

I have a userform with multiple buttons and a listbox. When any button is clicked on, a listbox is created. The user selects various items on the listbox. Then the user clicks another button and selects other items based on a new list. If user goes back to click the original button, the original list shows up, but the selected items are not highlighted. Is there any way to keep those original selections highlighted (selected)?

What I'm trying to do is to select multiple groups of cells (say 5x4) which are below each other, but then paste them next to each other
For example, copy cells A1:E4, A8:E11, A15:E18 and paste them to A20:E23, A23:E26, A27:E26

On one sheet I have a long list of items which I need my users to scroll down and, when needed, fill in a value next to the appropriate item in the list. Most of the list items will not need anything inputting against them. Then on a different sheet I need a nice tidy summary list which only shows those list items which have an input against them.
The bit I can�t do is getting these few items to display (on a separate sheet) in a nice neat all together, contiguous way - ie with no gaps. Also I need to populate this summary list automatically. ie after each entry.

how to track selections from a dropdown menu, I have 8 selections under the dropdown that are being selected from a list. Next to the list I want to have the total of the number of times it was selected on the dropdown. I've tried the data>subtotals, but It only seems to create 0's under the dropdown box.
I dont want the totals in the dropdown box I want it next to the list of 8.

I have not used Inputboxes or Userforms much. I have read through some of the messages here, but I need to learn more about them. I need to create some type of user interface, where the user would be asked to select between two choices. Based on the choice made, a macro would be executed. The two choices run different macros.
I need direction or an example of an Inputbox that shows two choices instead of a blank input space.

We currently have a macro that has a limitation that it only works on 8 sizes, and only upto 12 Colours. We want to change this to make the number of sizes and colours totally variable. how to change this bit of code below so that the cells selected are not fixed but are variable depending on the number of sizes and colours as entered in sheet 2.
Current Code for When 8 Sizes and 12 Colours
Code:
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Range("B30").Select ' This is Fixed
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet3").Select
Range("G2:G109").Select ' Want this to be variable based on the number of rows needed starting at G2, this can be found out from Sheet2, Cell G28
ActiveSheet.Paste
[code]...
On Sheet 2 Cells G23 is used to enter number of Sizes, and G24 is used to enter number of colours. Cells G25, G27 and G28 then have formulas to work out other values that will be needed in the macro.

I am working on a macro, which should cycle through a column and find all rows with a given value. Then for these rows it should paste values from other columns into another worksheet.
Example:
1 2 3 4 5 6
Find all cells in row 6 with "yes" and paste the value from row 3 into another workbook.
Issue:
I cant seem to get the the value from row 3.
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(datasheet).Cells(rowtocopy, 6).Value.Copy has an error. Currently "Object required". Ive tried: .cells().value.copy that gives me a different error.
Script is started in the workbook where the extracted values should go.
Below its called "Template (2)".
The workbook with the rows is called "Datasheet" (which may be "Volume" or "SNiC data" depending on what is written in Worksheets("Template (2)").Range("B4").Value
Code:
Sub copychanges()
'################ EXTRACT ORIGINAL PAYMENT DATA
originaldata:
Dim currentwb As String, SuppXls As Excel.Workbook, datasheet As String, i As Long, targetcolumn As Range, modcorrect As String, fromcolumn As Range, rowtocopy As String
currentwb = ActiveWorkbook.Name
SuppPath = ActiveWorkbook.path & "" 'file path (assuming all file are in the same folder
SuppName = Worksheets("Template (2)").Range("D4").Value 'filename of corrected file

I�m trying to do the following IF function but as far I can tell IF only works with 7 different selections.
Cell B2 contains the numbers I through 8
Cell D2 contains a pre-calculated number (e.g. 53.012)
Cell F2 is the cell that I need an IF function or something similar � the function would be as follows
=IF(B2=1,D2*1.000)
=IF(B2=2,D2*1.00057)
=IF(B2=3,D2*1.00171)
=IF(B2=4,D2*1.002281)
=IF(B2=5,D2*1.003421)
=IF(B2=6,D2*1.003991)
=IF(B2=7,D2*1.004215)
=IF(B2=8,D2*1.004538)

mycheck = ActiveCell
Sheets("Data in").Select
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=10, Criteria1:=mycheck, Operator:=xlcontains
xlAnd
The problem is that I have a value that is collected and put in to MyCheck. This value is only contains a few letters that I want the autofilter to filter.
e.i: The value i want to filter contains following.
01jan2007
What the autofilter is supposed to do is to show all cells that contains the value 01jan2007.
The cells that are supposed to be autofiltered looks like this.
2143 01jan2007 and so on...
I can not use "=" course the value is not the same as the others.

But I don't know how to detect if the user has selected multiple, non-contiguous rows. Is there a way to detect this situation, and if so, is there a way to "loop" through the individual selections?

On a multiselect listbox, is there any way the user can select a "block" of selections, instead of having to select them one by one? The list box I have has about 100 choices and it would be possible to select blocks of choices at a time. This is similiar to MS Outlook email where you can push the shift key to isolate a block of emails to move to a different folder.
