Validations Based On Previous Validations
Nov 12, 2009
On a worksheet I want 4 cells to have validation, when a selection in the first cell is made this limits the choice in the second, when the second is selected then the third is limited by 1 and 2 and the forth will be limited by 1,2, and 3.
In the attached example data , if I choose a Region, I have a choice of Countries. When I choose a Country I am limited to valid Cities and when I have chosen a City then a list of applicable Agents will be available. I have used NamedRanges for a two dimensional lookup but for four and my list will be far bigger than the sample, I do not fancy maintaining numerous NamedRanges.

On a tab, i have one column where information is entered. what should be entered is based on a dropdown list (which i have setup on a validation). the other thing that should be allowed to be entered is a an 8 digit number. when something else is entered, i need to have a popup message appear to tell the user to fix the error.
I have no idea how to effectively enter in the restriction in VBA for this.
Below is the VBA i have started:
1. The problem is that if one of the drop-downs is chosen, then i get this error message (because the dropdown list has text that is more than 8 characters in length).
2. The one other problem is that if the cell is left blank, i still receive the popup message. how do i avoid this from showing up.
3. I am also looking to do something like this for a range of cells (from F5:F100).
Private Sub Worksheet_Change()
Dim stue As String
stue = "f5"
Application.EnableEvents = True
If Len(Range("f5")) 8 Then
MsgBox "there is an error in cell " & stue & " "
End If
End Sub

I need to edit multiple validations in a worksheet. There are over 990 validation for each month. I want to change the word in the sentence. Example: April to May. Right now I have to edit each one seperatly. I have tried a macro but it changes to whole sentence. Find and replace do not allow editing in a validation.

I have an excel spread sheet, Col I is a Date, Col K is a Date, Col P is a date and Col T is a text(with list validation) I have validation that if if T = "As is" and P <> I or K (which ever one has a value) then Error. Add Type:=xlValidateCustom, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:=xlBetween, Formula1:="=IF(T2= ""Accept as is"",(IF(P2=(IF(K2<>"""",K2,I2)),TRUE, FALSE)), TRUE)"
But if the user changes T to some other value then it is ok to change P, But they could put any value in that field. I Need to validate that P is a DATE also
I was trying to do a validation Greater than > 01/01/2007 but I can not do multiple validations on the same cell. How can I validate P is a date also

I've created a worksheet with a number of dropdowns / data validations. Now the thing with these validations is the source range apparently has to be in the same sheet (well it can be another one but much simpler if in the same). I've just realized I created them in the wrong place, so need to erase them. Pressing the delete key isnt working though, they're still there. I could right-click delete but that then requires one to move cells up/right etc and that could mess with my formulas.

I am using a modified version of Debra Dalgleish's filtercopy macro in which 3 data validations are being used (she used 1 in her downloadable example ProductList. zip) and it works just fine when the validations are used in order as they should be. However, in looking over the data I am trying to present in my report I think it would be very valuable to use the first and third validations at times (skipping the 2nd) to discern information in that way. Long story short, I can't seem to get this to work and don't know if it's even possible because I'm not a VBA expert.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error Resume Next
If Target.Row = 3 And Target.Column = 4 Then
Worksheets("StoreData").Range("O2").Calculate
Worksheets("StoreData").Range("Database") _
. AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, _
CriteriaRange:=Sheets("StoreData").Range("O1:O2"), _
CopyToRange:=Range("A6:K6"), Unique:=False
End If
If Target.Row = 3 And Target.Column = 6 Then...............................

I have a problem in applying Data Validation on cells containing Formula. Eg: cell A1 has a value 10 and cell B1 has a value 15. i have a formula "=A1+B1" in cell C1. If i apply a Data validation to the cell C1 so as to accept values only in the range of 0 to 10, the cell C1 is still accepting values grater than 10 when i change the values in the cells A1 and B1.

I am trying to paste formats and validations to the current row of my spreadsheet.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim targetcol, ganntfirst, ganntlast As Integer
On Error Resume Next
Application.EnableEvents = False
targetcol = Range("BudgetHrs").Column
ganntfirst = Range("Ganntfirst").Column
[Code] .....
The code in orange is the problem code, and I have a range named format which is actually Row1:1
And I want the formats and data validation pasted into the current row and also the next row.

I have search the site for a possible solution for my problem. And that is: how to create multiple lists using validation – depending on each other.
The scenario is. I have a data sheet that contains a list of alien plant species. The species have different methods of treatments (some do have the same). Each treatment might have one or more herbicide products that can be used and with each herbicide a certain application mixture.
I have used validation to create the pick list of the plants, the next pick list should be the treatment for the selected plant species and the 3rd list the product and then last list the mixture.
All of these lists should only list the information that is relevant to the selected plant specie, in the first list.

I have a scenario where a cell has to be restricted based on the user input of another cell, also it should allow only Yes or No values.
ex:column A
column B
pending response
submitted
User should be allowed to enter a value in column B as "yes" or "No" only when column A has a value "Submitted"
I referred the thread to restrict entering the data [URL]...
However not able to add list as well.

In MS Excel, I find that when the zoom is dropped to 50% the fonts in the
list become unreadable. Is there anyway that the fonts in the list have the
ability to have their own formats?

I'm using Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium. Although this file is saved with Excel 97-2003 - because the computers at work only use 2003.
OK - Here is my dilemma. I've been creating a spread(work)sheet for work. One of the fields that needs to be entered by the manager doing the papwerwork is 'Date'. I currently have the Data-Validation set as follows because the paperwork being done is for the yesterday:
Code:
=TODAY()-1
I have the Error Alert set to Warning prompting the manager to ensure the date is correct (sometimes a mid-shift audit is being done, so the actual current date has to be used). Now, what I am wanting to do is to also set it that if the manager set's the date for a future date, I would like Excel to also either do a Warning or a Critical displaying a message that future dates cannot be used.
I know this may sound trivial, but with this paperwork, dates are extremely critical and vital in the event of an investigation for cash shortages etc.
I have uploaded the excel sheet to my domain, which I can provide a link to - either here or in a private message - but I do not want to do so unless I know that it's ok to do. If so, I will reply with a link to the location of the Excel file.

On Sheet 1 I have Data Validation Lists set up. On Sheet 2 I have the information populating from what is entered on Sheet 1, only problem is...when I don't have anything entered in the cell(s) on Sheet 1 then the cell(s) on Sheet 2 reflect 0. I would like the cell(s) to remain blank if nothing is entered on Sheet 1.

I have created a Data Validation list in one of my spreadsheets which works fine. The list itself has no duplicates which is fine but when I select my entries in the other spreadsheet, I want to make sure they cannot select the same value twice.
I tried selecting "List" in data validation and using an AND with COUNTIF but it doesn't work.
=AND(Employees, countif($A$1:$A$20,A1)=1)

I am creating a Spreadsheet to work with a game which I am designing. I want to create a combat calculator which will generate formulas based on which class a person chooses to be, and their choice of weapons, armour and other equipment (makes things a lot easier for me to visualize). I have created the first worksheet which will act as the interface where users can input their character configurations and a second worksheet where all of the data is stored, included items and their values.
Assuming that on the interface I have cell A1 which will let the user select their class (Warrior, Archer, Sorcerer).
I also have cells B1 = Helmet, B2 = Body Armour, B3 = Leg Armour, B4 = Feet Armour, B5 = Hand Armour.
I would like cells B1:B5 to create a Data Validation based on the class which is selected in A1.
E.g.
IF A1="Warrior"; B1 = A list of Melee Helmets, B2 = A list of Melee Body Armour... etc
IF A1="Sorcerer"; B3 = A list of Magic Leg Armour...
I have managed to do this with the following formula, but only if the data is stored in the same sheet.
Cell B1
=IF(A1="Warrior", =meleeArmour1, =IF(A1="Archer", =rangeArmour1, =magicArmour1))
Cell B2
=IF(A1="Warrior", =meleeArmour2, =IF(A1="Archer", =rangeArmour2, =magicArmour2))
[NOTE]
=meleeArmour1 represents the range of cells where the Melee Helmets/Head Armour is stored.
=magicArmour2 represents the range of cells where the Magic Body Armour is stored.
The group cell names do not seem to work if they are on a different sheet, nor does it work if I replace the group cell name (=meleeArmour1) with the full formula (=Sheet2!A$1$:A$10$)

My current code works, but there's got to be a shorter version to insert rows based on a cell value. Currently my code works on a series of If statements. If the value in the current cell is "2" then goto the next row and insert one line. If the value is "3" then go to the next row, insert, next row insert etc. I'm currently written up to a value of 10, but the coding is getting longer and longer. Anybody got a shorter loop that I could use.

We have a product plan, which we are trying to automate. To break it down we have a product number which will consist of several other components parts. In the product plan we are tying to automate showing which components are in constraint to the side of the complete part number. We've tried using VLOOKUP but it only ever returns the first value it finds, whereas we need to show all constrained parts. Have tried to break it down into ranges as per attached, but this is unreliable as the data is drawn from another source, and corrupts the ranges if re-imported or sorted.

I am trying to write an excel sheet that has multiple questions but need to be answered in order and the next question in the series answers should appear based on the answer to the previous question.
expample:
Question 1: Steel or Aluminum
Question 2: (If the answer was Aluminum) 3000psi or 3300psi
(If the answer was Steel) 2640psi or 3442psi or 3500psi
Question 3: If the answer to #2 was 3000psi: 50,63,80
If the answer to #2 was 3300psi: 100
If the answer to #2 was 2640psi: 66,85,95,98,104,112,125
If the answer to #2 was 3443psi: 80,100,120
If the answer to #2 was 3500psi: 65,80,100,120
I want the choices for the next question to be hidden before the previous question is answered and the choices based on the answer to the previous question. Would love to be able to use a drop down box to do this with.

I am trying to create an advanced spreadsheet in excel that caters for people who really need to be told exactly what to do and what not to do. So based on the selection in column A I want to disable and change the background colour of some cells as follows (but only disable the cells on the same row):
columnA = Number then disable cells D, F, G and change to red
columnA = Link then disable cells E, F, G and change to red
columnA = Image then disable cells D, E and change to red

Is there a way I can highlight cells that are differ from their adjacent cells by more than 10%?
Sample case:
Month 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12
Sales 100 112 100 130 140 160 175 200 170 170 140 135
Here, In April, July and August, there is a sharp increase (>10%), while in September and November, there is a steep decline (>10%). I would like to format the sharp increases as Green, while sharp declines as red.
Can I do it using conditional formatting?
I know I can attain this by creating a separate row for Month/Month growth in above example. But this example is a simplified version of my data. Real data is a lot more complex, and I need to do the formatting without creating any additional columns/rows.

I want the order size to be colored red. If the most recent order is larger than the previous order, I want the order size to be colored blue. If the most recent order is the exact same size as the previous order, I want the order to be colored black.
How would I make code that would let me "remember" the previous order size and the most recent order size, and let me compare them to conditionally format the font?

I have a column of data (Column T) which has about 10 different words in it (varieties of fruit). What I want to achieve is based on the data in column T I want to fill Column U with information, let me put it in an example.
Column T has the following words in 2000 rows. Thompson, Crimson, Sable, Superior, Midnight, Ralli.
If Cell T4 for example has 'Thompson' or 'Superior' I want cell U4 to say 'white', but if cell T4 has 'Crimson' or 'Ralli' I want it to say 'Red'. If it has Midnight I want it to say 'black'.
I think this can be done using a vlookup maybe? I don't have to go down 2000 rows to fill this information in.

I require most recent and previous test info to enable a comparrison to be made. All other dates are not required but need to be kept as historical data and can't be deleted.
Is there anyway i could get column E to auto populate and amend itself as more test dates and locations are added to the list?

I currently have a large spreadsheet that multiple people fill out. Each person fills out all the information in a row. At the end of the row, I would like a button that says "Generate Form" so that when clicked, a new sheet automatically opens with a template form that I created and is already filled out with the information that was just inputted into the spreadsheet. Also, there are four different template forms that could generate. For example, there are forms A, B, C and D. If the user inputs "B" into the first column of the row, then when he goes to click "Generate Form", a new sheet is created with all the information filled out in Form B.

Here is what I have and am trying to do:
I entered the date and day in this format in multiple sheets in workbook 1 (named 0101, 0102, 0103) from the start of the year to last night (B2:C4):
Date:January 01, 2013
Day:Tuesday
I then entered all the data needed below that (B5:E26):
TimeTransactionsTotal SalesAverage Sales
12:0039 $352.97 $9.05
13:0053 $416.98 $7.87
14:0044 $339.42 $7.71
15:0043 $304.96 $7.09
etc.....
In workbook 2, I have sheets named for each day of the week. I would like to take the information from the previous three weeks for each corresponding day from workbook 1 and put the averaged data into another table with the data all formatted the same in workbook 2. This way, each week when I go into the aggregate file (workbook 2), I can look at the chart I'll create and see the average of the past three weeks transactions, total sales, and average sales for each hour of the business day and be able to staff accordingly (assuming the trend continues).
