I have a cell which contains a validation list with about 350 names to select from. When the user is selecting the name they wish to make changes upon, is there a way to allow the user to hit say 'H'f and skip down to the last names beginning with H?
View 3 RepliesFor our attendance register, the master data table holds a list of all club members (one member per row).
The master data table consists of formula columns, data columns, and two data columns with drop-down list validation.
I'm using this
I have a list in column L2:L352. I would like to be able to start at AD2 and drag horizontally so that AD2 = L2, AE2 = <BLANK>, AF2 = <BLANK>, AG2 = L3, AH2 = <BLANK>, AI2 = <BLANK>, AJ2 = L4, etc.... until L352 has been autofilled.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Table has a data validation list in one row of a table. And different formulas in different rows.
The Table is expanded only into columns. Which means, there will be no new rows...only columns will be added.
If we enter text into the header cell in a new column, the whole new column gets formatted, but the list and formulas do not auto fill into new columns.
Of course an easy way is to copy and paste a column...but is there a way to auto fill lists and formulas into columns of the table? Similar to how the rows get autofilled?
I was wondering if it was possible to have some cells where when I start to type it suggests me from a list from another sheet?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am creating a workbook that easily allows me to keep track of items and costs. So on one page I have a list of items in one Coloumn - column A eg apples, oranges, banana etc.
On the cell next to them (Column B) are their prices. This page is purely used to list items and costs.
On page 2 - is the easy to fill list page. Theres a drop down list in each cell in column A listing the items on page 1. I have set this up already.
But i need the associated price to appear in coloumn B austomatically.
So when i select apples in column A - their price automatically appears in next to it.
I have a list of model numbers that corresponds to part numbers i.e:
model number
part number
abc
123
def
456
[code]....
I can type in A2 = ab and it autofills the model number abc, and have B2 automatically have the part number which is 123 filled in as well.
I have a list for example with two variants "YEs, "NO"..
Is there any possibility to choose YES or no in any cell an reflect the same value in another list on another sheet.
I'm not sure if its possible to do what I want. I'm trying to do it without VBA as my users might have a high macro security setting.
I have a validation dropdown in A2 where they pick 'yes' or 'no' for FLSA. I would like B2 to be a dropdown (validation, listbox, whatever) that would change based upon A2. If A2 is 'yes' I want to use the data in A5:B7 and if its 'no' use A10:B12. Ultimately I want B2 to equal one of the numbers from A5 - A7 or A10 - A12. However when they click on the drop down they see the combo of column A and columb B as column A has no meaning for the user.
I have an Excel file for work that has the following:
Column 1 is Agent
Column 2 is Interval (in 15 minute intervals from a report that I pulled)
Column 3 is Agent Calls (has a number anywhere from 1 - the highest currently is 19, which tells me how many calls that Agent had on that 15 minute interval.)
What I have currently is that if it says:
John Doe 15:00 5
It will automatically insert rows after the number based on a # -1, so it will add 4 empty rows after this row.
I have another step that will automatically copy Column 1 and Column 2 to the blank rows directly beneath them until it reaches a cell with data.
Now, what I need is a macro that will take Column C and where it says 5 automatically know to change that to '5a' then proceed to go down the list with 5b, 5c, 5d, & 5e. If it sees 4 it will know to change that to '4a' then proceed to go down the list with 4b, 4c, & 4d. I currently have numbers ranging from 2 - 19.
I have built custom list with this information so if I change all the numbers from 4 to 4a or 19 to 19a and double click on the black box it will autofill exactly like I want but it only goes down to the next cell with data, and I have 100+ lines per agent, and up to 21 agents a day, so this gets time consuming.
Here's how it looks when I'm ready to start the macro:
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:00 x
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15 4a
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:45 4a
[Code] ......
And I need it to look like this:
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:00 x
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15 4a
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15 4b
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15 4c
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15 4d
[Code] ........
I can't seem to find a way to make a data validation list automatically show the first item in the list rather than showing blank.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use data validation to restrict the user to only selecting values in a list which I create. Right now, the list is a named range. I'd like to get rid of the range and just use a named list. I create a name using the following as my list.
Insert > Name > Create
Name: Fruit
Refers to:
banana,apple,orange
When I try to use the name Fruit in my data validation, I get the message "The List Source must be a delimited list, or a reference to single row or column." I thought my name "fruit" was a delimited list.
I am trying to create a fairly simple spreadsheet with about 8 columns and about 400 rows. One of the columns features a drop-down list with about 8 or 9 different options. Dependant on which option is selected, i would like the entire row to change colour with that option.
For example:
FAILED - whole row changes red
SUCCESSFUL - row has no fill
Tested - row changes to orange
etc.
Is this possible within Excel 2003?
I'm looking for a way to get a unique list from a column to a data validation drop down list. Any fancy formula or vba script to create a UDF which. Does this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a List of Different Fruits in Cells A1 to A5
Apple
Banana
Orange
Strawberry
Cherry
And I use data validation list in 5 different cells from Cells C1 to C5 then in every cell the list will show all the fruits,
But I want that if I select Any Fruit in cell C1 that should not be included in the remaining 4 cells, and the fruits selected in Cells C1 and Cell C2 should not be included in the remaining 3 cells and so on....
I Used the formula
=IF(C1=A1,OFFSET(A2,,,COUNTA($A$2:$A$5),1),0)
But this works fine if I select Apple in the Cell C1, then the List of C2 Shows all Fruits other than Apple, But if in Cell C1 I select any fruit other than Apple it does not work... (Using Excel2007 & Win XP)
I am attempting to use a named range as my Validation data source but have two questions:
1) It seems when you use a named range as a source the user can enter in any data they want in that cell. I really only want the user restricted to the list I give them. If I enter the list manually in the source box then it works but I really want to use a named range
2) My range is fixed to 10 cells and the user can enter in as many variables as they want (up to ten). When a user clicks on one of the cells that the validation is set to read the range the user has to always scroll to get to the top. When selecting the cell Ecel always defaults to the bottom choice in the list. I want to minimize the VBA because Mac users will be using this and VBA seems to be touchy with macs.
I would like to exclude blanks from the source of a validation list, I have found a really neat solution for vertical list in this topic, I have modified it, but I have missed something, the formula is not working.

View 9 Replies View Relatedis there a way to force so that a cell value can be only of what a validation droplist offers, hence users can not enter their own values and have to use the droplist for cell content selection.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make some of my data validation dropdown list boxes narrower. I was told one way to do that is to use combo boxes. (If there are any other ways, please let me know!)
I don't think my combo boxes are working. I had tried to make a combo box appear in each data validation pulldown cell by using this tutorial:

I followed this tutorial word for word, but when I try to test the code at the end by double-clicking on a data validation pulldown cell, no combo box appears.
I am using Data Validation on some fields to create a drop down list from a named range! These fields however allow you to enter values that are not in the list.
Is there a way to make the cell have to be an entry from the data validation list?
I have 2 columns First Name & Surname. What I want to do is create a data validation list on the surname which results in the 2nd data validation list only showing the first names which link to one of the surnames.

the problem is that I have a validation list on this spreadsheet that does not copy to the new row. I have tried using the macro recorder, but haven't been able to get it to work. I have not been able to find anything with Mr. Excel that specifically addresses this. Can someone point me in the right direction?
the validation list is on a separate worksheet, and is called Performance Factor. there are multiple worksheets and each one has a control button that when clicked on will run the macro to add a new row. once up and running, this workbook will be shared.
I'm using Excel 2000, and have not posted this question anywhere else.
I have a spreadsheet with columns A through AD; values are updated through a query download and the number of rows will vary depending on the date range of the query.
Column AD is a validation list - is it possible to set this up so that the dropdown list will show only if there is a value in Column B? I can get it to work with this formula: =if(B12="190170",AdjustedLeadTime) where AdjustedLeadTime is the name of my validation list, but this is specific to the value of 190170.
I want to set this up so that if B12:Bxxx is equal to any value the validation list will show - but if a cell in B is blank, the validation list won't show up.
The idea is to create a liquor order sheet which takes items and prices from a liquor inventory workbook, which is part of the same file. i'm sure that you can do it all fancy with a macro, but unfortunately i'm not super experienced with excel. so i helped myself with what i know a bit -> drop down lists. I created an extra sheet which has 4 ranges on there... the liquor type (liquor, beer, wine), and the 3 sub classes for each type (red/white/blush/sparkling for wine, draft/import for beer and so on and so forth). On the inventory i named the range of all white wines "white", of all red wines "red" ..
On my order sheet i created a drop down list for type and created 2 more via "indirect" .. so when you select "wine" in the first one, the 2nd one will ask you for white/red/blush/sparkling and the last drop down then for the exact item according to the range on the inventory.
Hope what i did so far is understandable ^.^
Now my problem is that i want the unit cost to be copied when an item is selected. So you select "beer" in A1, "import" in A2, "corona" in A3... and the price for corona (which is written in a cell on the inventory sheet) should show up in A4.
I attached a screen of the inventory sheet so that you can see how it is structured.
Hello, could some one please help me with the following:
I have created a drop-down list for the range : C3:C65000 using Excel 2003 and Windows XP Pro. I did this using Excel's Data Validation Tool. The settings I used are as follows:
Allow: List
Source: =GROUPS
Check Box Ignore Blank is Ticked
Check Box In-cell dropdown is Ticked
GROUPS = GROUPS!$A$2:$A$29
Now all this works well, such that when I click in the cell range : C3:C65000, then a dropdown list appears - showing a list of all my groups.
However, when I click on any of the dropdown lists in this range, the width of the dropdown list is only as wide as the column. Column C has a width of 20.
What I need please is for the dropdown list to be as wide as the list of information showing in the dropdown list. If some one could please explain on how I can achieve this - that would be great.
I set update the validation list, calculate the spreadsheet copy to another location and then want to do he same for next item in named range. The named range for the list in Validation box is Mlist, and the cell being changed in the report is A2. The below code works for the for what I need but the list is 52 names in worksheet lookup.
Sub Managers()
Sheets("Lookup").Select
Range("X2").Select
[Code]....
Is it possible to search a sheet/workbook for a validation list?
I set up a specific one to test some things, but cannot recall where I did it....
