I have a list of departments on "Employee Data" sheet on column A and list of staff names on column B. It looks like this:
DEPT FULL NAME
pdi Bob Tan pdi John Christian aftersales_bikes Jim Yeo
I have 24 departments in total and 300 over employees in mt employee data sheet.
On "Jan - June 2014 Training Hours" sheet, when employees attend training courses, I will have to update what courses they went for, no of hours etc.
My problem is:
I would like to select the department (using combo box for the auto complete function) and when department is selected, the staffs in that particular department will show. I have attached the file for your understanding. Currently, I am using data validation with indirect function in that file but would like to switch to combo box.
I'm still curious about the sample from Contextures, http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html (DV0032 - Dependent Data Validation Combobox)
I have made a modification from its file (sample is attached). First drop list can be autocomplete, but the second cannot. For the comparing, I made row 2 in ValidationSample sheet is my modification, and row 3 is the original.
I have a form that an administrator will open to search for items needing approved (ie. status is "Submitted" and they'll be going in to confirmit). The datasource is a table. For these purposes I'll arbitrarily call it Table1 for ease. There are multiple columns in the table, and I'll set the column width to "0" for those I don't want displayed, so we'll call the columns to be displayed Col2, Col3, and Col22. There are two dependents, because Col2 is the Division, of which there are 3 (Central, East, and West). The administator will select their Division and the associated ListBox will display results for all locations having a item status of "Submitted". Col3 will be the branch name, and Col25 with be a total $ amount of the order. Cbo1 (ComboBox1) will house the Private Sub Change() for the macro after a division has been selected.
Thus far I have thought of using a loop such as:
Code: Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() For n = 1 to ws.ListObjects(1).DataBodyRange.Rows.CountIf ws.ListObjects(1).DataBodyRange.Cells(n,2) = Me.ComboBox1.Value and ws.ListObjects(1).DataBodyRange.Cells(n,25) Like "*Submitted*" ThenMe.ListBox1.AddItem = If ws.ListObjects(1).DataBodyRange.Rows(n).Value2End IfNext n End Sub
I've got a mismatch in the the Value2 type for the .AddItem. Not sure how else to approach though.
Can I use a vlookup combined with IF function to lookup up to a different file dependent on what the cell says.
For Example cell a1 could have the value Alan Smith, Tony Brown or John Doe dependent on what value is entered the lookup would "lookup" against the file named Alan Smith, Tony Brown or John Doe.
I want to extract/generate data from a database (same as like we can do with filter or pivot method) with H/VLookup or any other method.
Like: Sheet 1 (Database)- 23-column & 690-Rows having record of 9 Different Groups)
Sheet 2 (Report)- A2 contains List of 9 Different Groups, If I select Group 3 from that list then I want to show all relevant data of Group 3(23-Column) in this sheet.
troubleshooting dependent validation list formula. I found the Ozgrid instructions for the Dependent Validation Lists to be verfy informative and I downloaded the "MatchingLists.xls" to use as a starting point.
My challenge is this: The MatchingLists.xls example does not take into account that there may be MULTIPLE dependent lists that have spaces, numbers and other unique characters in the list's source celles. Therefore, I have decided to reference a NameLookup (named range) that has an abbrevieated name for each each item (without numbers & spaces) I am nesting VLOOKUP within the INDIRECT formula to achieve the results I need - but for some reason it fails occasionally and I do not know how to troubleshoot!
Data Validation Source =INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(SUBSTITUTE(E5," ","_"),NameLookup,2,0))
Excel's Data Validation simply returns the message "The source currently evaluates to an error". This is frustrating becuase it is not consistent. It works with some lists and not with others. How do I troubleshoot???
My worksheet is attached for your reference. The source data for the dependent lists is on the Lists sheet. The dependent drop-downs are in columns E-H on the drop-down sheet. The formula that I am having trouble with is in "Subcategory" (column F). For some reason, I cannot choose category "26_Heat_Exchangers" to populate the subcategories. There are a few other categories that this formula breaks on and I don't know why. Please tell me this is not some crazy limitation with Named Ranges.
Situation: I have two drop down lists 1) Country and 2) States/province
Country has list: [US, Canada]
If "US" is selected, [Arizona ,Florida, NewYork] is listed in the 2nd drop down list If "Canada" is selected, [Alberta, Ontario, Quebec] is listed in the 2nd drop down list
Scenario: First, I select "US" and choose the states to "Florida" Next I change the country to "Canada" and forgot to choose province Then, the 2nd dropdown list is changed to [Alberta, Ontario, Quebec], BUT the current value is still "Florida"
Probem: Now I have "Canada" and "Florida" selected in the sheet
Question: If the primary list is changed, can I make the 2nd drop down list to show a default value (e.g. blank or the first entry i.e. Alberta)?
I have two tables which both have two columns. One column has dates in it e.g. 01/09/04 and the second column has a number in it. What i am wanting to do is create a combo box that, when i select the date from the list, it brings up the number (that is in the cell next to it) and puts this number into the cell next to the combo box.
I know how to get the combo box and add the dates to the list, but how to bring the dates up.
I have tried creating a combo box with the dates and then formatting it to create a cell link. This link then brings up the first number of the date in the cell i have chosen. I have then selected a blank cell and entered the formula :
VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num)
However, when i have tried this, it hasn't worked.
I require is on combobox selection to bring in the data "type" from collumn ag and put it in collumn "c",i then want to get rest of data from the row but get me started I will try and do the other data,do not know how to do formulas ,started first with userforms and would now like to learn formulas
Am trying to get dynamic population of 2nd combobox based on match from criteria in combobox 1.
if column a = bears and column b = colours of bears then
when I select bears in combobox one, combobox 2 would populate with colors of bear.
I am think of having a combobox 1 change event that evaluates each row in a specific range (does it match the criteria?) if so, then add 2nd cell (column b) of that row to the combobox 2.
I know it would probably involve match and offset, add item and loop, but I am not sure what the syntax is.
I need to populate two combo boxes from excel sheet, the data will be like below:
Column A Column B A 1 A 2 A 3 A 4 A 5 B 100 B 101 B 102
So from the above data, one combo box should hold unique values A & B.
On selecting a value from the 1st combo box A or B, respective values should be populated in 2nd combo box.
So the data should be like below:
If A is selected in the 1st combo box, then 2nd combo box should only show the values 1,2,3,4 & 5. If B is selected in the 1st combo box, then 2nd combo box should only show the values 100,101 & 102.
Friends I need it in a macro and one important point is, this is dynamic and it is not static and the data can be more.
When I make a comboBox selection from the dropdown menu, the menu stays down until the last statement of the comboBox code is finished. How do I make the dropdown disappear immediately after the selection is made?
try and achive is when a user selects a item from the 1st Combobox the 2nd Combobox is the populated with the cell that is to the right of the selected item.
for Example if a user selects AAB from combobox1,, Combobox2 should populate with Belly.
I created a UserForm then linked ComboBox1 to range A2:A, TextBox2 to range E2:E, and ComboBox3 to range M2:M of the same worksheet, named Sheet3. The row contents in Column A, Column E, and Column M are associated. Therefore, when the UserForm is active I want to be able to select a row from Column A in ComboBox1 and have the UserForm pull the contents from the same row of Column E into TextBox2, and Column M into ComboBox3. Here is what I have so far, but its not quite doing it.
Code: Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Sheets("Sheet3").Activate Dim ColARange As Range
I have a table, headers "FirstName" and "SurName".
Further a Userform with 2 Comboboxes "FirstName" and "SurName"
I'd like to choose the FirstName (say Jack) in the "FirstName" combobox, and based on that get the choice of the Surnames of all my Jacks in the "SurName" combobox.
Actually my sheet has much more fields and comboboxes, but i think my problem is just that I do not find a way to populate them dynamically.
I want to fill two Combobox (cmb 2 and 3) dependent on what the user has chosen in a first ComboBox (cmb1).
The first combobox ist based on on the first sheet, and the second and third combobox shall be filled with values from other worksheet corresponding on combobox 1 selection.
I have a userform with a combobox that has three items to choose from: Blue, Red, and Yellow. When a user selects one of those options, I would like another combobox to appear on my userform with a specific list for that option.
I'm trying to make a userform that has 2 combo boxes. I have just 3 columns right now.

I copied and pasted Column A into Column C and then removed duplicates. I named Column C 'ValList' and placed it in the RowSource for ComboBox1. What I now want is for ComboBox2 to populate based on my selection in ComboBox1. There are no duplicates in Column B. Duplicates are in Column A.
I also named Column A 'Proc_Grp' and Column B 'ADA_QSI_Desc'
For the properties in Combobox2, I left the RowSource empty. (that's correct right?) Because there's going to be a code that links Combobox2 to Combobox1... I think...
I have a userform where I have 2 comboboxes. The first combobox shows the the first column (only 1 of each) and the second comboBox shows me the secondary list that correlates to the valuse in the first from column B. Now I have a text box that I am trying to get the value from column C depending on what I have in the first 2 comboboxes. What is the easiest way to do it? This is all in VB since it is a UserForm, and using Vlookup seems to be too many lines if I go that route. Is there a way to use Index and Match in VB where it would be more efficient? I attached just a sample of how the data would be layed out in the Excel sheet.
firstly in cell b2 i have to select a quoted time then in b3 i have to select a type
so dependant on what is in these cells should return answers in cells e2:e5
ie if i select1-3 weeks in b2 and s/o in b3 it should then look up 2 in the yellow cells and return the answers day1 day3 day8 and day14 in cells e2:e5
I am trying to wrap my brain around dependant dropdowns and have hit a brick wall.
Using the Contextures web site [url="http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html#TwoWord"] I can get part of the problem to work but when I try to add a third dropdown i get lost. Attached is a sample of the workbook.
I've created a dependent list in Excel using Data validation. The first list is independent and the second list depends on the first list. I'm facing one problem in this. After selecting a element in first list and corresponding element in second list, if I want to change the first list again, I can go and change the value. But the value in the second list remains the same. I want the second list to be empty when I' selecting the first list again. How can I do this?
