Using Data Validation Dropdown List With Countifs Formulas

Jul 22, 2012

I have a table created that uses countifs formulas to pull data. I want the data to change based by client - so I created a drop down list with each client's name, and thought I could add a criteria to the countifs formula based on the client's name in the cell- but I get a value error.

Using Countifs With Cells That Have List From Data Validation?

Feb 22, 2014

Somehow I cannot seem to count data in a column (e.g C) where cells are populated from a data validation list. The same formula works when I manually populate the same data in another reference column (e.g J). I have tried both COUNTIFS and SUMPRODUCT but they dont seem to work

=SUMPRODUCT(--($C$4:$C$9995=AB3),--($G$4:G$9995

Dropdown List Using Data Validation

Feb 25, 2014

I have a list on one worksheet and I use a dropdown list from Data Validation to select the name required.

My list is so long that I would like to be able to type a letter or two to access to the name quicker instead of scrolling down.

I copied a formula that worked for someone else that put this formula in the data validation

(IF(I36<>"",OFFSET(Player,MATCH(I36&"*",Player,0)-1,,SUMPRODUCT((MID(Player,1,LEN(I36))=TEXT(I36,"0"))*1)),Player))

I do not wish to use VBA is possible.

Dropdown Data Validation List

Mar 6, 2013

I have a query with data validation.....

Can I have a cell rage.. say A2:E20...and every cell in it has a drop down data validation list, from data inputted into L2:L27 (For examples lets say L2 is A, L3 is B, L4 is C, L5 is D and so on).

if somewhere in the range A2:E20, say B6 I was to select D from the drop down list, I want the remainder of the cells in range A2:E20, to have the drop down list without the value D in it, and so on, so the more cells in the range I fill from the list, the list for empty cells gets smaller and smaller until there are none left.

How To Add Dropdown List AND Customer Data Validation

Mar 14, 2014

I have a very detailed spreadsheet with drop down lists. I would like to block other cells if previous cells have certain selections. I have 7 columns of data that get inputted throughout the month. These cells have drop down selections that I have created. Is there any way to create a drop down menu AND another data validation? So If a selection is made, then the next cells will be blocked, using data validation "custom"?

Data Validation And Dropdown List Using Criteria

Jun 1, 2014

It is basically a simple sheet that lists the price (Column C) of different items (Column B) based on their Category (Column A).

I am trying to have an automated pricing sheet (on different sheet) utilizing data validation and drop down lists.

For example each row should have this, the drop down list in the first columns should list all the Categories available (This part works fine for me and i can take care of the duplicates).

Once that has been selected, i have now the option of selecting using drop down list also (in second column) the items corresponding to the Category selected in first column (Only the items that are part of that specific category should be listed in the drop down list).

Once the item has been selected, the price of that respective item should be listed automatically in the 3rd column.

Data Validation To Create Dropdown List

Sep 12, 2012

I am in the process of creating a database, and have used 'Data Validation' to create drop down lists in order to obtain information quickly from the database.

I have encountered an issue where if I have a list the resembles the one shown below, the drop down list will show spaces.

This is particularly an issue for myself and my database because there is over 1,000 items in the list, and there are countless empty cells within the list. I have tried sorting the list, BUT because the database is quite large, sorting it will disrupt other functions of the database.

Ideally, I would like the drop down list to show only entries within the list that are not empty so the drop down list is entirely relevant, and more user friendly.

Custom Data Validation With Dropdown List

Jun 30, 2008

I have a data validation in a cell that works like this : if a control cell has the value "F" it validates the input with some dates in a custom list, if not it does nothing.

The formula looks like this :

=IF(F2="F",datelist,"")
It works fine but I also want it to display the drop down list when cell F2 = F, now all i can do is type a value and it checks if it's ok.
Can I do this without using vba ? I will send this to other persons and I don't want the macro warning to pop up when they open it.

OFFSET / Data Validation - Dropdown List Not Working

Aug 21, 2012

I have the following function in cell (table 2 column C) where I want to find a contact name from my table TMI if 3 criteria are true (client, account, NAM) For each contact I have 1 true combination of client/account/NAM but for each client/account/Nam I can have several contacts.

{=OFFSET(TMI[[#Headers],[Contact]],MATCH(1,(TMI[Client]=$B$1)*(TMI[NAM]=C3)*(TMI[Account]=B3),0),,COUNTIFS(TMI[Client],$B$1,TMI[Account],B3,TMI[NAM],C3),1)}

The function is working well but shows only the first contact name if I have 3 contacts for the same client/account/NAM. (I pressed Ctrl+Shift+Enter)

When I press F9 on the function, it shows all the contact names! so they are somewhere.

Hence, I have copied and pasted this function into data validation / list in the source but it came up with an erreur.

Table TMI:

A B C DClient
Account
NAM
Contact
Comments

[Code]..

Table with offset function:

A B C D

Chi
Account
NAM
Contact name
Comments

[Code]..

All client, NAM and account lists are dynamic !

Multiple Dependencies For Data Validation Dropdown List In Excel - NO VBA

Feb 7, 2012

So, I need to figure out how to make the populated contents of a single dropdown box dependent upon the selected results in two other drop downs.

As there are ~35K lines in the sheet, creating Lists is impractical, and VBA is out due to client security settings.

My data sort order is: Region Name > Area # > Facility Name

I have a drop down to select the Region I want to work in.

The drop-down for Area # populates based on the selection from Region Name.

The hang-up is that the area numbers are 1-4 for each Region.

So, I can't simply populate another drop-down for Facility from the result from Area #, but it has to be based upon the results of both of the former results.

Make A Data Validation Dropdown List That Also Enters A Range For Cells

Apr 5, 2009

Make a Data Validation dropdown list that also enters a range for cells, for example:

Kitchen ¦ High ¦ Upto 100 ¦ Easy ¦ Blank ¦ 2 ¦ Daily ¦ >6 hrs ¦ Medium ¦ >1 week
Lounge ¦ Low ¦ Large ¦ Easy ¦ Blank ¦ 0 ¦ Daily ¦ >6 hrs ¦ Medium ¦ >1 month
Bedroom ¦ Low ¦ Large 100 ¦ Easy ¦ Blank ¦ 1-3 ¦ Daily ¦ 1-3 ¦ Low ¦ >1 year
Bathroom ¦ High ¦ Upto 100 ¦ Easy ¦ Blank ¦ 0 ¦ Weekly ¦ 1-6 ¦ Low ¦ <1 year

I can make a dropdown list for:

Kitchen
Lounge
Bedroom
Bathroom

But if I select "Kitchen" I would like it to enter the rest of the cells in that row:

Kitchen ¦ High ¦ Upto 100 ¦ Easy ¦ 2 ¦ Daily ¦ >6 hrs ¦ Medium ¦ >1 week

The total number of rows I use is 10, and the number of items in the dropdown list will be 30.

The data in the cells 2 to 10 does not change from that first set to its data menu name.

An example would be if Cell A1="A", then show the drop down list associated with cell or sheet "!ryanB2". Alternatively, I would like to also display the number of entries in the drop down list.

Selecting Named Range From Dropdown Validation List To Use In Formula?

Jan 18, 2013

Basically on a summary page, on sheet 1 say I have a formula which picks up the unit cost (I have this as an array across 5 years)

What I then want to do is multiply this by a volume driver. I have a list of these drivers on a seperate page, so for convenience lets say DRIVER_01,DRIVER_02 etc. These are also 5 years arrays.

So what I want to do it be able to select which driver I want to use for volume on the summary, from a drop down box I have set up, and then the formula pick up that named range, and not just recognise it as a text cell.

I need the ability to change the driver in the future, hence the drop down box. I can also get the unit array part to work fine, I'm just struggling to get this driver array to work..............
