If we add validation for a perticular cell then excel shows arrow(a button) when ever u put cursor on that cell. if cursor is moved to another cell, it disappears.
Is it possible to display all cells that have data-validation with such buttons?
Automatically copy formula to next cell when i enter something in perticular cell ....

abcd
efgh
a
dfg
erft

Now I want to insert some value say XXXXX at the first and last postion(More specifically at a perticular position) in the text). How can I do it?
The end result should be
XXXXX abcdXXXXX
XXXXX efghXXXXX
XXXXX aXXXXX
XXXXX dfgXXXXX
XXXXX erftXXXXX
XXXXX vkldfsdasXXXXX
I'm trying to figure a to enforce dual data validation on a single cell. That is, I need to restrict the user to entering only a decimal value, only if a particular other cell (say A2) is blank. To put it another way, if A2 is blank, the user can enter a decimal value, but if A2 is not blank, the user cannot enter anything. I can use Data Validation to enforce either the decimal restriction or the ISBLANK, but I'm not sure how to make them work together.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up a data validation to ensure that when a user enters a number in column A that matches a previously entered number in column A, the user is only allowed to enter the same date for the number it matches in column B.
For example, if:
Row 3 column A = 1320
and
Row 3 column B = 16-Dec-07
and
Row 15 column A = 1320
then:
Row 15 column B must be 16-Dec-07
when I select a data validation value in cell A3 of sheet 1 will change the data validation value in A5 of sheet 2, and verse vice.
Also in the same attached file, I want to solve another formar issue. The needs is expained in the file.
I have a cell in Sheet1, C5 that is a formula that returns one of 2 values.
I have a macro that copies and pastes values from this sheet into Sheet2, however I cannot get the cell V3 in Sheet2 to have the value of C5 in Sheet1.
There is a data validation list of 3 choices in V3, two of which are available from Sheet1 C5, but I want the 3rd option to remain manual.
I have been playing around with it and even tried the manual recorder, but no luck
Here are some of my attempts:
Sheets("template").Cells(3, 22).Value = Sheets("New Details").Cells(5, 3).Value
or
Sheets("template").Activate
Sheets("template").Select
Range("V3").Value = Sheets("New Details").Range("C5").Value
Neither of which have the desired effect.
Excel 2003 Scenario:
Column H contains text data as follows down the rows: BIKE/CAR/TRUCK.
Column N contains text data that would be entered free text by user down the rows; however, if the data entered in column N is not contained in column H it would warn the data is not contained in column H. Example: BOAT is not found in column H. Note; it could contain all text in column H for that row or just one word in column H for that row.
The goal is to recognize the text entered in column N is not contained in column H, warn and change the color of the text in column N to red.
I attempted to use Data/Validation, and Conditional Formatting; none seem to have a contain function.
Is there a formula or VBA I may use or any thoughts?
I need a code/formula/validation that needs to go in cell C3 and D3. If B3 contains the following, Transactional Accounts, Notify Me and Enhanced Notify Me than there has to be a number/reference number in C3 and D3. If there is no reference number than a warning needs to pop up informing them that they need to put in a reference number or ID number before they continue. If there is no reference number or id number they cannot move on, or something of that sort.

Unfortunately, the items in the list are a bit too small to read. Is there any way on increasing the text size and reducing the number of items shown at one time (currently 8 but 4 would be better)?
I am making a spread sheet which contains drop down values and there is a grand total which should not exceed 100. Like distribution table in 100% type1 to type 10 and the total distribution should be 100% not less not more. how do i do the validate and indicate an error in case a wrong value is entered.
View 9 Replies View RelatedA2's validation is dynamic as it's selectables varies based on the selection made by the A1 Validation. (=indirect(a1)).
My problem is this....once if have selected from both validations...if I go back and change the A1 validation to a blank (or empty value) or clear the contents on that cell....validation A2's value remains as it was. I would like it to recognize that A1 is blank and also become blank (or goto an empty value).
I would like to know if it's possible to populate a data validation list based on what is selected from 4 validation lists?
for example:
On sheet1:
If 'Group1' is selected from data validation list1 then data validation list5 will show a list of all items from Group1. If 'Group2' is selected from data validation list2, then data validation list5 will display all the items in 'Group2'...
(I do not want to use a combo box for this)
I am trying to force a user to enter a value (any value at all) into a cell once they have selected it.
So the cell is blank, then they click on it... then they can't move to the next cell until the enter some text.
I am trying to input data validation on a calculated field. The calculated field (sum of 10 fields above it) must not total over 100%. I have used the following in the data validation menu: Allow: whole number. Data: less than or equal to 1
This doesnt seem to be working when I input values of a total greater to 100 from its input cells however, it does return an error if I manually input a number over 100%, then it gives me an error message. Edit - sample sheet attached.
can i do two data validation on the same cell
the first one to make a list form Define name "Lists"
and the other to make sure the name is not repeated
I have already set up a data validation, if if you pick a region, you only get that regions items in the next column.
A
B
C
D
E
[Code]...
But what I would like to do is in Column E(for this example) have 3 extra lists for Location in each region. So if I pick S in A, then in E I only want the Southern options.
I have checked out this website, but I cant seem to work out how to add the third dependence [URL]....
I am trying to create validation drop down list for a cell, however I want different drop down lists which are depenent upon another cell.
in Cell A1, I want the options "A", "B","C" etc
If cell A1 = "A", then drop down validation for cell A2 = 1,2,3,4,5
cell A1 = "B", then drop down in cell A2 now equal 6,7,8,9, 10
cell A1 = "C", then drop down in Cell A2 now equal 11,12,13,14,15
I am trying to set the data validation on a cell based on another cell value
So basically if the User enters say CAN in cell A2, cell B2 should use "listCAN" range as the data validation list
and if i enter US in A2, B2 should use "listUS" as the data validation list
Would like to know how to place validation on cell a2 to NOT EQUAL BLANK.
View 11 Replies View RelatedHow can I create a drop down list, where the items available for selection in this drop down list are contingent upon another selection made in a seperate drop down list.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy sheet has a Data Validation drop down menu "Department", where the user selects a Department. Based on this selection, another Data Validation cell "Team Leader" gives a list of Team Leaders to choose from. This works perfect. Change the Department, you get a different list of names. The problem is that if I have both a Department and a Team Leader selected, and then I change the Department selection, it keeps the Team Leader cell filled with now invalid data (the Team Leader from the previous department). If I then click on the Team Leader cell, it has the correct names listed to choose from, but until I do that cell retains the old information. Is there any way to blank the "Team Leader" cell, or push data to it (I've included a Choose a Team Leader entry in my list of people), when I change my Department selection?

So how to use the if statement in a cell that contains a data validation ?!!
First, I have read through the board, and I was not able to find a solution already posted. I apologize if in fact this is a duplicate.
Second, I am comfortable with dynamic lists, dynamic ranges, chained validation lists, etc: so I am pretty sure my question is not a repeat of the other recent validation list questions.
Therefore:
Is it possible to generate a validation list from a single cell with a comma separated list?
For example, if I have “Fresh, Cool, Hot, Neutral, Smooth” in given cell, can I then have those 5 items appear as separate choices in a validation list?
I have tried every combination I could think of using arrays, named lists, the INDIRECT function, etc. I cannot seem to get it to recognize them as separate items. For the moment, I have created a bad (too long/complex) workaround where formulas are used to pull out each of the 5 strings into individual cells.
How can I check if a cell has data validation with a VBA procedure?
I want to do this because I am using a procedure to add data validation and I get an error if the cell already contains data validation.
I'm building some work life balance spreadsheets for employees to show satisfaction levels / hours etc...
For the satisfaction piece - users will enter a value between 0 and 5 with 5 = happy as larry and 0 = ready to quit. Next to this field is a comments box. This comments box only needs to be populated (from a data validation list) if the staff are unhappy.
I need the file to prevent users entering a value less than 3.99 without selecting a comment from the validation list. Users will go into the file and update for their own lines so the check can be written into the save function maybe???
I have set cell validation to use a named list and checked 'In-cell drop-down'. The validation works but the drop-down is not working.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to configure a cell in Excel for color validation and I don't know how to do it. What I want is to configure a cell with a drop-down list of colors only, so the user can select from a set of predefined colors. I know how to create a data validation list by placing characters in a verticle list of cells, naming the grouping, then use data validation using a list to provide user selection. I also know how to conditionally format the cell based on the value chosen from the list, e.g. if 'R' is chosen from the list, the cell color changes to red, and the 'R' from the named list is placed in the cell. What I want to do is choose from a list of colors and only place the color in the cell.
I tried using non-printing ASCII characters in the list but Excel does not accept them. I tried to color the cells that comprise the drop down list, but the colors do not show up in the drop down list, nor when a member of the list is chosen. All I want to do is have the user select from a drop down list of colors only.
I am trying to change the color of a cell to match a selection from a drop down data validation list. There are quite a few "color cells if ......" VBA codes out there, however they don't quite do what I need and I am not experienced enough to figure it out.
The data validation references a named range (list of consultants) on another worksheet within the same workbook. The data validation list needs to be dynamic because people get added or subtracted from the list. So the named range is actually equal to (A1:A100).
I am using Excel 2003, therefore conditional formatting is too limiting. Each company has it's own color. So I defined each company as a named range as well for my VBA code. For example, named range "AR" equals list Architect A, Architect B, Architect C etc.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Cell As Range
Dim Rng1 As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set Rng1 = ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, 1)
On Error Goto 0
If Rng1 Is Nothing Then
Set Rng1 = Range(Target.Address)
Else
This code works for the first name (Architect A) in the named range "=AR". However, when I choose the next name on the drop down list the color in the cell goes away. Also the other named ranges do not change color at all. I am attaching jpegs of the named range and the sheet they are referencing to give an idea of what I would like the sheet to look like.
