Vlookup With Multiple Criteria: Creating A Drop Down List Showing Alternative Choices With Sex
Aug 22, 2007
I am trying to create a simple user interface type thing so that someone is able to select from drop down lists someones information, such as whether they are male or female, aged between 19-35 or 35-67, whether they are studying in a business area, legal or construction etc (there are 6 variables in total), This will then give the probability of success of the person passing this course based on probabilities which I have already worked out. I have worked out how to do the first stage of creating a drop down list showing alternative choices with Sex, Age etc in the data validation options, however:
There are 517 possible combinations, as in Male aged 19 to 35 studying Business (with other variables) or Male aged 19 to 35 studying Law (+ other variables) etc etc etc each with their own probability of success. Due to the long nature of writing out Male1935BusinessNorthWestWhiteBritishCollegeBrown I have rewritten it so it appears in the excel file as M1935BNWWBCB, which obviously wouldn't make any sense to someone if they had to select M 1935 B NW WB CB from drop down lists.
Along side the M1935BNWWBCB there is the probability of success specific to that type of person. So for example I could would have:
M 60%
M1935 64%
M1935B 35%....
I am using the VLOOKUP function to pull multiple columns of information from another sheet in the same workbook based on a name. The sheet it is pulling from is a query. I am looking up product names, and in the query there may be multiple results that the function can find.
VLOOKUP only returns the first result that is found. What I am trying to do is get it to dump all the results into a drop down list in one cell. If I attach a drop down to one of the columns of information I am retrieving, then I can select which of the entrys to display, right? I think this should work I just don't know how to go about setting it up to do it.
How would I set up a VLOOKUP formula that attaches a drop down list containing all the results that the function finds?
I've created a simple dynamic chart using a combination of data validation and an index match match formula. Every time the user makes a choice the chart updates with the right info. However is there a way to create a choice where the user can show *all* the choices at once on the chart ?
I want to put a drop down list in Cell D3 with the list of names from column B. There are 14 different names, but when i try and create the list it gives everyname from Column B.
Also once the drop down list works i would like the table to be populated with the managers supplier, so if Dan was chosen in D5, Suppliers 1 to 9 would appear below D3.
I have a form where I have to have the following info on the top left corner of the form for our clients:
TO:Name of client Address, city, zip... Phone number Fax Number
I need to find a way to create a drop down list where I have my contacts information so that if I pick a name, it will show up on my form but also have the address, phone....in the format as above so that I don't have to keep inputting the information manually as there are over 20 names.
I'm writing a purchase order entry form for my company. I've used the above formulas to create drop down lists with addresses for each of our stores and vendors, but I need form to automatically select the correct "ship to:" location. Some stores will always have merchandise shipped to the store regardless of the vendor. Other stores will always have the product shipped to a warehouse location, but in a few stores the product will be shipped either to the store or a warehouse depending on the vendor.
I've been able to work out the formulas for the stores that have shipments always to one location by creating a second address table and linking the selected store to it.
Here is basically what I need:
Store A + Vendor A = Store A Store A + Vendor B = Store A Store B + Vendor A = Warehouse Store B + Vendor B = Store B Store C + Vendor A = Warehouse Store C + Vendor B = Warehouse
this is my first attemp at doing a "userform". I am looking for some help in creating a user form that enables users to choose items from drop down boxes, which shows next level drop down list items, then down to final drop down list with information based on first two choices. I've attached the sample file for reference.
I did all the search for multiple drop box or list box that can connect to other list boxes but no luck.
It's the same as when you surf with Internet Explorer, you can click "Views" in menu bar, list box appear and then choose "Encoding", another drop box appear, then when you choose "More", then another box appear.
Is it possible to have this sort of hierarchy list box in excel where drop box connect to another drop box?
I am making a program that needs some macro but I don't know much about it. There are a couple of things I am trying to accomplish and I'm supposing it would be easier to let you look at the actual program so I uploaded it.
In the drop down boxes in column C there are trucking companies listed. Each trucking company has different trucks with different numbers that pull different numbered trailers. When I select say, "T & L" from list c8 I need the lists in that row E8 & G8 to display only the information related to that trucking company and no others (as opposed to every trailer number and truck number on the lists in row 100). Only T&L drives a truck with the number 08 pulling a trailer with the number 564, etc. I need the same thing to happen for the truck list E8. When a particular truck is selected the lists in g8 narrow to the numbers of the trailers that that truck have pulled in before. So e8 (truck number 88) makes g8 list trailers 8855 and 8445 because that driver only pulls those trailers.
If you can kindly help me with that macro to work for a sheets in the workbook that would help a lot. The only thing is it's useless unless the program can learn new trucking company names with their respective trailers and trucks (we get new ones sometimes). I created the "ADD" sheet to be able to add new trucks, trailers, carriers (companies) and employees. If c8 doesn't have say "t&L" trucking company in it I can go to the add tab and type into cell a4 the carrier, d4 trailer number, g4 truck number, etc. I need that information to add itself to my list on the "page 1" tab into the orange colored list a100:a200 while the trailer goes to e100 and truck c100. The above paragraphs macro would then be able to sort the data in the list when a carrier is selected.
Looking to create a drop down list on the top of a column that will find all entries with that numerical value. For example, lets say I have four entries with the value 1234 spread out through the columns. When I click the drop down menu, it should only have 1234 once and when I click it, it shows me all the rows with that entry.
I've got an array of data about 30x1500 cells in size, I want to use this data in a table I'm making on another worksheet.
Normally I'd just use VLOOKUP and this works great in most cases but I want to do something a little bit more complicated. Basically I want to (in normal English) have excel look at the table, find a cell that matches criteria in this data array, then compare to another cell on the same row in this array. If the criteria for these two match then display the data from another cell on the same row. The criteria for matching the first cells would be an exact value, both being strings of text.
I've tried using a couple of nested VLOOKUP and IF statements but failed .....
I can't seem to get this to work the way I need it to do. Let's say I have a 2 sheet workbook. Sheet1 is called "Order" and Sheet2 is called "005". On sheet2 (005) I have 9 columns that are populated. Row 1 is my header row and then row 2+ is all my figures. On sheet 1 (order) I want A1 to look at sheet2 (005) in F1:F10000 to find all cells that have "N" in the cell. I then want it to return value in column A that corresponds with the "N". I want it to list all the ones from Sheet2 (005).
I am trying to make a drop down list based on the result of a vlookup.
What i want to do is look into a table that has country name, depot station, but i have more than one depot per country so when i look up with vlookup i only get one result back, the table looks like this.
Country Country nameDepot code Depot name 1 GBUnited Kingdom STN Stansted 2 GBUnited Kingdom EDI Edinburgh 3 GB United Kingdom EMA East midlands 4 FR France GNO Garanoa 5 FR France MRS Marseille
How can i look up GB or United Kingdom and get all the depots listed from that country.
i have been looking around here and it seems like my problem is similar to many's regarding the vlookup function. to me, what i'm trying to do sounds simple enough, but it can't get it to work. i have a table that has three columns, Item Number, Item Description, and Amount.
Each item has it's own number, a corresponding item description, and ammount (obviously), but there are some repeats. What I want to do it input the Item Description, and have one field automatically pull up the Item number, and the next field, pull up the price. I am using a drop-down list for the Item Descriptions utilizing data validation. here is formula that i have been trying to use that is not working: =VLOOKUP(B2,Sheet1!$A$2:$C$18,1,FALSE). i have attached a trial worksheet that i am using to work things out on.
One worksheet will have a library of job elements for assembly process with standard times on it.For example:Pick up a bolt(0.621m),install gasket(0.231m) etc. The main worksheet will have a dropdown list which will list all the job elements discussed above.It will also have the quantity.So in otherwords,to pick up one bolt the time would be 0.621 minutes.But if anyone picks up 4 bolts the time would be 2.115 minutes,which can be calculated by the formula.So I want to display the job element,qty and the time in three separate rows.This worksheet will also calculate the total time for the assembly of the components which might contain more than thousand job elements. My question is how do I ensure that picking up any of these job elements will give me the correct time.Is this something that can be done by formulas or anything thats built in excel or I need to run a macro or VBA to run some codes for IF...ELSE....THEN statements.There are too many conditions like If pick up one bolt time is 0.621 minutes,if pick up 4 bolts time is 2.115 minutes or if pick up a gasket time is 0.231 minutes.
I am limiting choices in a certain cell to a list via data validation (using data validation, allow - list and pointing to the source). I want to limit the next set of choices in the next column (in this example in Column C) for the user based on the choice made in the adjoining cell. For example to keep it simple I will use the following: if the user selected "Fruit" in B1, then the options in C1 would only show "Oranges","Apples", "Pears". If however the user selected "Veg" it would only show "Cucumber", "Lettuce", "Spinach", "Radishes" in the drop down in column C. I can put a prefix in front of the column C data validation list if that is needed to narrow down e.g. FR-oranges, FR-apples etc.
A B C 1 Fruit Oranges 2 Veg Lettuce 3
Data Validation source for Column B (H2:H4) Fruit Veg Nuts
Data Validation for Column C: (I2:I10) Oranges Apples Pears Cucumber Lettuce Spinach Radishes Almonds Peanuts
I'm trying to create a drop down list which returns values based on what has been selected in the previous drop down list in the adjacent cell, e.g. if 'Apples' is selected in the previous cell then you should only be able to select from 'Gala, Granny Smith', or if 'Oranges' is selected you should only be able to select 'Seville, Blood Orange'. Is there a formula which would do this, or can I use a pivot table somehow? I'm totally stumped.
I need to have a drop down list which displays a different set of values depending upon the value selected by a previous drop down list. ie. (drop down box 1)= x, y, z. (drop down box 2)= either x1, x2, x3, or y1, y2, y3, or z1, z2, z3. I can produce a single drop down box thats not a problem but linking several drop down boxes is beyond me .
I created a drop down list of contacts for specific accounts:
Primary Second Third Fourth
When I click on each one, I want in adjacent individual cells their name, address, phone, and email. The results should only show up in the same row as per list choice.
This drop down list applies to 20+ accounts so each contact info corresponds to the accounts. A E F G H I So: Account... Contact Name Address Phone Email (DropList) And do that for all the accounts.
I have a rather simple problem (tough for me!). I am setting up a food log. I would like to have one column with common food items that I have in a drop down list. The list would be about 20+ things. The other columns would have relevant nutritional info such as calories, fat, carbs, etc.
The problem is how do I make the values in the other columns change depending on which food item I pick from the drop down list?
For example, if I choose bread from the list, how would I get the columns for carbs and calories to change accordingly.
The IF function would be too hard because I couldn't nest 20+ IF functions in the formula for each cell. Also, the drop down list would change as my diet changes, possibly reaching 50+ things.
Also, I would like to manually enter a serving size that would alter the nutritional values in each column (for example 0.5*Calories or Carbs).
It seems so simple in my head, but I can't figure out how to get it to work.
The list is a crew list and I'd like to be able to select the foreman, but I'd like the crew cells to be populated with the information corresponding to that specific foreman. I've named the data range and created the drop down list but i cant figure out why the crew column wont populate with the crew. I am using a different sheet for my data.
I tried VBA but I am hoping I can use Index and Match.
If I choose 1 thing from a list I want it to then fill in many cells with info.
For example: I have a color list to choose from, once I make my choice cells near it fill in with 1.5lbs yellow, 2lbs blue, 4lbs red,.....or what ever I have established as the "recipe" for my color choice. When I choose a different color from my list these cells each fill in with different values.
I'm creating a spreadsheet to track orders as part of a project, the spreadsheet currently lists all the different options that can be ordered, it then lists all parts of the order, installation & setup etc.
However it is likely that not all of the options will be used.
What I would like to do is create a few drop down boxes for each option, if 'yes' is selected then the order tracking for that option shows below.
Example, the wants 'internet' so 'yes' is selected for internet using the drop down at the top of the page. Further down the page all the order tracking info is shown for internet. If 'no' is selected nothing is shown for interent.
I have a spreadsheet with a number of columns regulated by Data Validation.
They are linked to lists with DV, which normally generates a nice drop-down box when you click on the cells.
I inserted a column into the spreadsheet, and now DV doesn't generate a drop-box anymore! In any of the columns! The "In-cell dropdown" box is still checked in my Data Validation screen, and the cells are still bound by validation to only conform to the lists.
Can anyone think of why these boxes would have disappeared? I've shut down Excel and re-opened the file in case it was a momentary glitch. I've deleted the inserted column... In short, I've tried everything I can think of.
Even if I remove Data Validation from the columns, and re-instate it with the "In-cell dropdown" box checked, I still don't get my drop-boxes.
I would be totally happy to send my complete file to anyone who wants it (although it's a bit big, as I have to send the directory structure if you don't want to get an error, about 1 MB), but anyhow - I'm reasonably desparate to get the drop-boxes back in.
The drop down validation feature on my sheet isn't working. I have treble checked that the boxes for data validation have been correctly done. In another sheet the same data validation feature is working? Can anyone suggest a reason for this?
If you are stumped I can post a snippet of the offending sheet.
