Use Two Dropdown Lists With Two Set Of Information To Automatically Update Fields
Jan 29, 2013
I would like to Use two drop down list with two set of information to automatically update fields.
I have Job Titles (1-6) and Step (1-5). Each Job Title has a new pay rate and each step is an increase in pay. What I am trying to do is set up a drop down list where some one can drop down Job Title and step and have the rate automatically fill in.
I am able to get the Job title to auto fill the rate field, but am having trouble incorporating the step into the formula.
Here is what i currently have:
=VLOOKUP(H6,'Pay Rate'!$B$2:$G$12,3,FALSE)
H6 = Job tilte field on 'WorkSheet' (Sheet1)
'Pay Rate'!$B$2:$G$12 = Sheet2 and Step increases per Job Title
3 = the current column I was working with in order to make the rate appear
False = for exact info
I do not want to combine the two columns but keep them separate drop down list.

I'm trying to create a database where when 3 dependent drop down list selections are combined, information is displayed.
I've tried VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH but to no avail.
Attached is the spreadsheet and what I am trying to accomplish. On the first sheet ("budget form") is a table named "Event Costs - room hire". I have created three drop down lists that interact based on what you select. Some rooms offer different services and so are dependent on the selection.
However, I want the final box to display the price depending on what is selected in the previous 3 lists. The amounts and a table I have created is in the "Product Database" sheet and the table is labelled, "Room Hire Control C".

I'm trying to use " autofilter". I put the code as
Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel. Range)
so it'll update by itself. My criteria are on row 5 and all my data is below row 7. Row 7 contains the headers.
This all works fine for text-fields. My question is if someone can get it working with numbered fields?

So, I'm setting up an accounting book. There's a master sheet that needs to pull from the other sheets that are made. The problem is, with each new sheet that is made, I have to update the formulas on the master. I would like that if I made a new sheet, the master would automatically pull from it.
Example:
Master pulls renter fee info from May 3rd, May 7th
I create sheet (May 15th)
Master pulls renter info from May 3rd, May 7th, May 15th

I am trying to create a job data sheet as per below. Under 'Sales Item' I have a drop down menu to select the item sold. I am trying to set up an autofill formula to fill the 'Stock Cost' cell once we have selected the relevant product from the drop down menu. The data is on another worksheet on another tab at the bottom of the sheet.
Sales Item
Sale Price
Stock Cost
Profit Per Item
Installation Commission
£0.00
£0.00
£0.00
£0.00

I'm creating a spreadsheet that will have two types of data fields: hex and binary, with pairs of corresponding values for each record in the worksheet. I need to be able to edit the hex values and have the binary values update correspondingly and vice versa, on the same worksheet. I can't figure out how to create such a two-way feedback mechanism.

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 need to update some fields in my excel sheet from a .txt file (comma or space separated), based on matching values of a key field in both files. I do not want to import the file into excel and do a vlookup. I am thinking of a macro that prompts the user for the file location ( txt file) and then scans the txt file and updates the fields. how to go about doing this or have any code I can use?

I have 2 lists in excel format, each list contains numbers. I need to identify which numbers are on one list that are not on the other list.
Is there a formula (hopefully easy) that I can use to identify these?

I have a sheet with many columns of data relating to different companies as shown below (obviously my actual sheet has much more data):
NOTE: the Mr. Excel forums display the data in the correct form. I've tried to fix it here but obviously that didn't work perfectly, so if you want to view it correctly, click on the link above.
Comp Name Facility Name Product Name clean date
Comp A
Plant 1A Prod A1 11/11/2008
Prod A2
Prod A3
Prod A4
Plant 2A Prod A1000 12/1/2008
Prod A1001
Comp B
Plant 1B Prod B1 12/5/2008
Prod B2
In a new worksheet I want to see only the information relating to the Facilities, specifically the clean date of each facility, such that the information looks something like this:
Facility Name clean date
Plant 1A 11/11/2008
Plant 2A 12/1/2008
Plant 1B 12/5/2008
I know that I can use a simply vlookup formula such as the one below:
=VLOOKUP(C21,Info,3,FALSE), where C21 is the Facility Name and "info" is a list of the last 3 columns of my initial datasheet. However, I need to remember add each new facility name to the 2nd list when it is added to the main datasheet.
Is there a way to have the 2nd sheet automatically add the new facility name every time I add one on the main sheet, but without showing the many empty rows inbetween?

I have some existing code which I did not write, nor do I have the expertise to update. The macro code takes multi rows of data for one person and "flips" the output to be one record per person with columns of data.
The source data looks like this sorted by teacher, Term and Period (columns H and I are the new ones added; the code currently looks through column G only)A
Faculty Name
B
Periodc
C
[Code]......
I just want to add column H and I data to the period course listings by term. So instead of "Term: TM#", just have the display indicate Termcode: Tally/SectSize.... such as (example): "TM1: 20/30"
My Code is as follows:
Option Explicit
Dim wsSource As Worksheet
Dim wsTarget As Worksheet
[Code].....

I am currently building a sheet that requires a drop down box that will auto-populate two separate fields. I have tried to the point of being suicidal to make this work but to no avail.
A detailed explanation:
The worksheet containing the drop down list and fields that need to auto-populate.
sheet example.png
The raw data, located on a separate tab in the same workbook. (Note: there are over 1500 rows of data)
sheet example 2.png
The drop down box will be in the "Description" column and will contain a list of services my company provides. Once selected it will auto-populate the "Rate" column and the "Item ID" column. The raw data that the list is pulling from is located on a separate tab.
I can make the list just fine, it's easy enough to just go to the Data Validation feature and point to where you want the list and where you want the data to come from, but getting the list to pull the data from different columns and go into the columns on the work sheet is apparently beyond my knowledge of excel. I figured it would just be a simple formula setup through the VLOOKUP formula wizard but I've tried it at least 20 different ways, all of which fail. I've tried HLOOKUP too but it also failed.

ive had to retype this so please bear with me. ive utilised the resources of this site before but ive come to the time where i need to ask a question of my own.
now i will refer to my attached document as what im trying to achieve.
my project is to create membership cards for our social club at work, out of a list of people we have on our manifest.
If you refer to column A, this is where i will dump the manifest of members as time progresses (keeping in mind that more names will be added to this list as it goes).
What i am hoping to achieve, is to start at Cell A2 (highlighted in yellow). For the example the membership name is "a". i want to hit the macro button and the following will occur.
1. data "a" from Cell A2 will be copied to B2 (highlighted in green) and G6 (highlighted in blue). This moves the name from being on the unregistered list over to a membership card and to the registered list, which allows me to cross check that im not doubling up on names with new applicants and current members.
2. once this occurs, i was cell A2 to delete and cell A3 to be moved up, so now, cell A3's data "b" (highlighted in orange) will be moved to A2.
3. a similar process as point 1 will now occur, where A2 will be moved to the highest empty cell in Column B, which would be B3 now. It will also copy to G18 into the 2nd membership card.
4. this process occurs until column A is empty in A2.
5. i wish to really only have an A4 page worth of membership cards before i print, so i wish to be able to "reset" the membership card boxes, so that instead of the membership cards continuing all the way down the worksheet, it will do say 12, then print, then start back in the 1st box. Ideally this is a loop so that it occurs until there are no more names in Column A.
This is a huge feet for me as an idea because ive never gone beyond using basic recorded macros, however im the type who just HAS to learn how to do stuff, so i will lap up any information or assistance i can recieve from anyone here.

I'm trying to figure out how to make a spreadsheet where in one column a type of asset is entered through a drop down menu and then the next few columns are attributes - model, pattern, manufacturer, etc. - that would all have values entered through drop down menus populated based on the choice of 'type of asset' in the first column.
I can get a drop down menu for the 'type' column and a dependent drop down in the second column based on choice of 'type' using =INDIRECT(), but I do that by naming the dependent lists of models for each type after the types listed in the list of types. Once I've done that I can't name the lists of patterns after the types because those names are in use by the model lists. So how would I make multiple lists of attributes associate with the same list of types?

I have a work book that contains various sheets with different information.
I have two different categories in one of the sheets,1 which contains counties and the other containing districts.
I have done a validation for the county which allows me to pick a county from a drop down list which works fine.I would like to create a drop down list for the districts aswell such that when i select i.e southyorkshire from the counties dropdown list,the districts drop down list will bring only districts in southyorkshire,excluding all the other districsts.hopefully i'll like the same to apply to all other counties.

I have a workbook with several drop-down lists. The names for the lists are on a seperate sheet in the same workbook. I have used data-validation and allow list in all the cells with drop-downs. I have used =NAME in the source. I opened the workbook this afternoon for the first time in a couple of days and I am no longer able to select from a dropdown. I can type in the cells, but if I type something not included in the list, I get the "The value you have entered is not valid" error. So I feel like the validation is working on the cells, I'm just not able to select from a drop-down list. "In-Cell dropdown" is selected.

Im trying to create a spreadsheet which has a drop down list in a cell, then when a selection is made a predetermined dollar figure will be entered in the cell next to it.
For Example:
Cell A1 Drop down list I have 20 cities listed, If I select St. Louis, I want the cell next to it to populate with $250.
Every city has a different dollar amount tied to it. So any time I select a city I want the specified dollar amount to populate the cell next to it.

I have been able to use the previous information to create dependent drop down lists but I have been unable to apply the settings to entire columns versus just one cell.
Is there a way to get the dependent lists to correspond to the cell beside it without having to manually type in each cell name?

I have a basic formula =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!C24, and I want to copy it down just using the drag function. Problem is that the second reference range of cells are in rows and hence when I copy it down it doesn’t automatically update the cell references because it want to update them by column number instead of row number. IE I want it to display =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!
D24, instead of C25. Do you know if there is any way of telling Excel that I want it to increase the column number by 1 every time, instead of the row number for this part of the formula?

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.

how to make few dropdown lists depending on one before.
Example: I have table with next data: COLUMN A: (A1) Expense Type ( in all columns under A1 are types of expenses );
(A2) total trip cost;
(A3) Prize promo tour cost;
(A4 ) court renting cost;
(A5) Prize IPP cost
In columns B1, C1, D1, E1 are cities. Under each city is value for type of expense. I have uploaded worksheet for example.
Now, problem is next: I am trying to make drop down lists ( in new work sheet ) by using depending data from data table.
1.I made drop down list in first cell (let's say it is an A1 cell ) where I can chose city ( for example City of Zagreb ).
2.Then in next cell (B2) I would like to choose type of expense in drop down list ( for example Total trip cost ).
3.Finally, in C3 cell I would like to make drop down list that offers me just expense value for combination of chosen city ( Zagreb ) and chosen expense type ( Total trip cost ).

I have a dashboard with 2 validation dropdown lists - 1 for Brand name (text) and one for month (mmm-yy) which go and run various pivots, etc.This works perfectly - except the dropdown list is so small its unreadable.
So I've tried a workaround using Combo boxes which I found here:
This does work, but when I select a month on the 2nd Combo Box, it is then displayed in number format eg, 41699. I've tried changing the format to mmm-yy but it keeps displaying as a number.
Is there any way I can make it display as mmm-yy?

I am trying to get a listbox I created in from DataValidation to be dependent on another list.
For example, when I select Course 1 (a list item) from the Course List drop-down, I want the cost to auotmatically populate in the Cost drop-down (the other list).
How do I get this to happen? Here is the code I created in VB, and I am not sure if this is the right course of action:
Sub Automated()
Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "MATLAB"
If (Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "MATLAB") Then
Sheet1.Cells(2, 3) = "31"
End If
Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "INCA"
If (Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "INCA") Then
Sheet1.Cells(2, 3) = "41"
End If
[code]....
I don't want to use the user form, however from VB. I want to use the regular drop-down. The code seems to work, but, each list item in the drop-down is not pulling the data I want it to. I need to activate the drop-down as a click event somehow. It's just recognizing the cell A2 as a whole and not the individual list items. I want to each list item to be their own object, and to automatically populate the cell C2 with their cost when they are selected.

I am trying to create a worksheet which can calculate the Outstanding Work Estimation based on available information.
The information available with me is presented in Rows 3, 4, 5, and 6. For these types of work orders, I have information regarding their Previous Outstanding Status, New Orders, Completed Orders, and at presented Unworked Orders (or Outstanding orders at the end of Jan 2008).
Second set of information is available in rows 9 to 23. This information provides for which type of orders were completed by Staff 1 and Staff 2.
Based on these two sets of information, I am trying to get to the point where I can calculate the following:
a) Applying the weight of orders (namely 1A, 1B, 1C and Blend) by using the drop down list function in column B, I should be able to get the results in Column C (C25 onwards till C40), Column D (D25 onwards till D40), and Column E (E25 onwards till E40). Simlarly for all other months...for February, March, and so on...till December 08.
