Use Dropdown To Fill Cells From A Different Sheet
Jan 6, 2010
I have 2 sheets that are used for an inventory that tracks hours on a tool that we use where I work. One sheet allows the user to add items to the inventory along with the current hours on the items. On another sheet, I have several dropdown boxes based on the category of items that are autopopulated with the item's serial numbers through data validation. So far, I'm only able to have the serial numbers fill the dropdown boxes, but I also need to have the hours associated with the individual serial numbers transfer over to this sheet as well in the cell adjacent to the dropdown list.
I assume the pseudocode for this would be for each cell in the dropdown sheet, if it matches a cell in the inventory sheet, grab the cell's value in the hours column and paste it into the adjacent cell on the dropdown sheet, but I'm not sure how to do the actual VBA for it.
I've included my sanitized workbook so you get a better idea of what I need.

I would like to auto-fill cells based on what I select from a drop down list.
For Example:
Drop Down List is located in A1(already created). Let's say it lists items like bathroom,front of building, dinning room etc.
I have created on sheet 2 a list of responsibilities for each item on the drop list. The list has a header for example bathroom and a below it list the responsibilities. I did this for every item on the drop list.
Now, is it possible to select bathroom from the drop down land when selected the list I created in sheet 2 show up in the cell next to bathroom? Also, is it possible to have this happen every time i select a different item from the drop down list?

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.

I've made a drop down list and when I select multiple cells and choose from the drop down list, it only fills one. Here's pictures:
So in that first picture, I've selected multiple cells. But when I drop down the menu and click my selection, this happens:
Why is it that all the cells I've selected does not fill with the option that I chose from the drop down. I highly doubt that I have to manually click all the ones I want to fill with what I choose from the drop down list.

I've created seven names in my data validation source list on Sheet 3 in the following range of cells, A2-A7. My data drop down validation list is located on Sheet 1, A2 in the same workbook. I would like to trigger a macro based on the name I select in this drop validation drop down list that will fill out an address, telephone number, and email address in the following cells next to my data validation drop down list on Sheet 1: B2, B3, and B4. I want it to be designed so that users will select a name and have that person's corresponding address, telephone number, and email address fill right next to their name on the same sheet.

I need to populate a range of cells with names from a list on another sheet based on the contents of another cell.
In the attached example;
on sheet 2 cell E3 has a number in it that corresponds to a number in column D on sheet 1, I want to use that as the reference to fill in cell E4 on sheet 2 with the value in column A on sheet 1, then I need to populate the YELLOW cells on sheet 2 with the names from sheet 1 column C that also match the values in sheet 2 cell E3.
The attached file has an example. I have been trying to use LOOKUP and VLOOKUP but can't get it to work.
Can someone please take a look at this for me?

I would like cells to fill themselves in automatically on one sheet, by getting the figure from the cell to the right of them, and seeing where the same figure lies on a different sheet. which ever row this figure lies in will be used to grab a different figure from colum "C" of the same row. This is the figure i would like to be put back on the first sheet.
Im aware that i havent explained this very well but i hope that my attached spread sheet with a couple of notes and highlighted bit will explain it much better.
Thank you very much in advance to anyone who can help me with this!

For Each sh In Worksheets
sh.Range("O1").Value = "Total Amount"
sh.Range("P1").FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM(RC[-2]:R[99]C[-2])"

First sheet has a client name and several cells of data along the same line. All of the data on this sheet is kept long term.
The second sheet is completed copied and deleted. In completing the second sheet the client name is selected of a drop down list and pulled from sheet one.
What I want to do and not sure if there is a way is that when I select a client and populate it on sheet two I would like the related data on that clients line from sheet one to populate to same named lines on sheet two.
if this is possible and if so provide a brief description of how it would work

Using macro's on Excel 2010. What I'm trying to do is create a macro that will copy a range of cells from one sheet to another depending on a option being selected from a drop down box. I've tried to use formulas but without success.
sheet 1 contains a list of approx 20 people with rows containing sales figures per week.
Is it possible to have a macro that will copy the rows to sheet2 depending on the dropdown? The drop down has already been setup with people's names
E.g.
if sheet 1, cell a1 (with data validation setup) dropdown contains "mr smith", copy sheet2 row A1:A9 to sheet 1 cell a2
or
if sheet 1, cell a1 dropdown contains "mr cooper", copy sheet2 row B1:B9 to sheet1 cell a2
etc... for each name in the dropdown
The idea is so that i select a dropdown and it copies the sales figures that match the dropdown name, if i then select another dropdown, the corresponding figures are copied to the same place.

I am not sure the correct term for this but the autofill drop-down menu that pops up when typing code does not come up for me.
Example:
Sheets("Form").combobox1.
I usually get a drop-down menu with a list of members of the "ComboBox" class.
Is there a setting for that enables/disables this?

how to enter data in non-adjacent cells using a fill command.
Here is what I am trying to do:
in the column, I am holding ctrl button to select every 10th cell down the sheet. I need to enter a date in every selected cell that is exactly 7 days apart, i.e., 11/7/08 then 11/14/08 then 11/21/08, etc.... but no other dates or data.
I have tried to figure out a way to do this other than manually, but am confounded.

I have a database (spreadsheet) which has 3 to 4 dozen columns of data. This data is in Sheet 2. On sheet one I would like to have a form which organizes the data on one sheet from sheet 2. I would like to have a drop down box to select the country. Once country is selected all data to the right of country would then be automatically filled on Sheet 1. see attached example.

I have this schedule (sample below) and what I need is the second sheet to look like this. I am trying to make a macro that will auto fill in the 2nd sheet. I was hopeing the macro could be put on the main schedule so that you clicked on the date at the top of the schedule it would make the second sheet which follows. It can then be printed and posted. Ok this is where it sunk my boat. Take the letters before the (,) and put on sheet two designation line and column matching. Name obviously goes under name. Now for the trick if possible, under day of the mounth (12/30) fill out the rest of the sheet. Take information out of sheet 1 and place them Starting with lines 4 thru 9 in the column designating night crew. Lines 10 through 24 disegnated under day cloumn and then last 6 for the evening column. (Another trick is if any of the names work a different shift I. E. shifts are 6 to 1 days, 2 to 11 is evening and then 12 is night. Anything in column other than a number or the word noon should follow thier shift designation as described above. D=day off and blanks to stay blank. Now for the dream, can sheet be made to allow for additional names on any of the shifts without messing up the whole thing.
Deadline for next schedule 11/19/2012
12/30
12/31
1/1
1/2
1/3
1/4
[code]....
I know I requested a macro but any way that gets it done will work.

I am using Excel 2010 and basically i am trying to fill a range of cell with a green color if any value was enter in a specific cells. Example: I would like to fill range: A10:c13 with a green color (regardless of the cells content in this range) if a value was entered in cell C10 or C11 or C12 or C13.
I've tried conditional formatting but unfortunately I'll have to apply formatting for every cell and for a range of over hundred cells is not efficient.

I would like a macro that when run, finds empty cells in a column within the used range and fills them with the same formula in the other cells in the same column but relative to the row.
I have a basic understanding of VBA so if someone can set me on the right track i'll have a go myself as i appreciate this would take a while to write out from scratch.

I am working on a spreadsheet for a shoe company. I have separate columns for the size, model, color, and item number of a shoe. I get everything except for the item number from a written document; I then have to find the item number for the shoe from another excell document called the Master List.
I was hoping there would be a way to have Excell auto-fill the item number for me. For example, if a shoe is a Red, Athens (the shoe model),size 12, its item number (which can be a pain to find) listed in the row of the Master List is aaabbb. So I want to just enter in the size, color and model number, and have Excell find the item number for me, and fill it in.
I have enclosed an example. Sheet 1 is the sheet I would be working on. Sheet 2 is a portion of the Item master list, which is actually 50k lines.
