Changing Drop-downs Depending On Another Cell
Jan 26, 2007
I'm having a difficult time figuring out out to coordinate two cells together.
If a "1" or "2" is entered into cell A1, I would like cell A2 to have a drop down menu show a "0". If a "3" is entered into A1, I would like B1 to have a drop down menu show "1" or "2". If a "4" is entered into A1, I would like B1 to have a drop down menu show "3" or "4". Lastly, if a "5" is entered into A1, I would like B1 to show "5" or "6".
I don't know if this is possible without using VBA.

I have a sheet that has drop-downs with totals affiliated with each option. This is a time recording sheet and I would like for each drop-down type to be totaled accordingly. Any help with an equation would be greatly appreciated.
If you have any suggestions, I can send you the document for review.

Is it possible for data like "ABC /sdfsd/sdfs/sdf/sdf/sdf/" to be viewable in a drop down but when selected to appear only as "ABC" in the spreadsheet? I need to be able to see the full line of data when selecting my choice from the drop-down but for readability-sake in a printable spreadsheet only want "ABC" to be displayed.

can you have col A contain a drop down and then column B include an if then statement that would result in another drop down? IE. Column A has drop down with options of "A", "B", and "C", if the user selects "A", then a drop down would appear in column B containing options "1", "2", and "3". But if the user selects "B" in column A, then a different drop down appears in Column B with options "Yes", "No", and "Maybe"...etc....

First post so please excuse me if this has been covered before but I am trying to get the results of a dropdown menu in one worksheet to become the criteria for a filter in another worksheet (both in teh same workbook).
I thought I could just add a reference to the dropdown cell into the autofilter (in VBA editor) but it doe't seem to be that simple.
Any ideas?

I'm working with 2 drop down lists created through Validation.
I'm trying to make this scenario work.
If A is entered in B1, then the drop down list in C1 would appear in D1.
If B is entered in B1, then the drop down list in C2 would appear in D1.
List C1 has 12 choices.
List C2 has 8 choices.
I'm making a data entry tab so for the sake of simplicity I only want one list to show up at a time depending on the variable A or B

trying to shred the last bits of fat for the summer and thought I'd try a Keto diet, this depends heavily on not eating very many carbs, as well as keeping your total Kcal intake below maintenance.
This makes for a fairly tricky diet, as most things you generally eat contains alot of carbs, so I thought I'd make planning my meals easy, by creating an excel sheet, with drop down menues for different foods/drinks as well as their nutritional content.
I''d like it to look something like this, with the dropdown list under "Food" ....

I have an analytics sheet where I have a client name chosen from a drop down via validation. The problem I am running into is that while I want information from a data table to populate a cell based on the selection from the validation, I also want the cell to populate based on a second drop down box (basically selecting a time frame). Take the example data table below:
Client Jan 2009 Jan 2009 Target etc etc
Client A 1111 1290
Client B 900 750
I would like the user to be able to select Client B and then, from a separate drop down, also choose, say, Jan 2009 Target and then another cell would populate with, in this case, 750.

I am attempting to have cells in Column 'U' deliver different drop-down menus based on the corresponding value in column 'D'. I have created 7 named lists:
List_117G
List_152
List_JMET
List_XBAND
List_PACWIND
List_VORTEX
List_ROVER
Those lists will be called up based on 7 values in column “D”:
“G”
“152”
“J”
“X”
“D/E”
“V”
“R”
So far I have only been able to get this to work for the first category “G”. When I change the value of column “D” from “G” to “152” I no longer get a drop-down. Here is the formula I am using in the List function of validation.
=IF(D6="G",List_117G,IF(D6="152",List_152,IF(D6="J",List_JMET,IF(D6="X",List_XBAND,
IF(D6="D/E",List_PACWIND,IF(D6="V",List_VORTEX,IF(D6="R",List_ROVER,)))))))

I am building a template in Excel and I want an error message (or any message) to appear to the user if they select from a static drop-down the same option in column I as in column J (i.e. they have to pick something different in each case).
Issue is I can't exclude any options from the second validation because, essentially, it's the same list. So if, on one row, a person picks "Bill" in column I, they can't pick "Bill" in column J. However, if they have picked "James" in column I, they can pick "Bill" in column J.
Don't know if this is well explained enough but would appreciate any tips on this - I've tried messing about with validation, conditional formatting, putting an IF statement in the next column and so forth but I haven't found a method that isn't convaluted and easy for the user of the template...

I've created a spreadsheet that has two drop down lists. Based on what the user selects from the first list, the second list is populated. It's working great except for the items in the first list that use special character, such as a -, or &. If necessary I can upload a small example of how I have my sheet set up, but I think I found it on this site!

I have two columns, Account Number and Account Type. I already use Data Validation on Account Number to make sure it is numeric and on Account Type to make sure the user picks from a drop-down list. I want it so that if a user inputs an account number, it forces the user to automatically pick from the drop-down menu in the account type column, otherwise post an error.

Now he has another task that I am not having any success with. He has asked if we can make an Excel spreadsheet that allows us to access a list of customer units from a drop down menu which is in another workbook, and once you choose that particular unit, another drop down menu will allow only those customers who are assigned to that unit to be selected from that sub-menu. I hope that makes sense.
Say customer A1 (we will call him Delta Co, 2-1 Aviation) is selected from this first drop down menu (which I haven't figured out how to make yet either). Then this selection would access another worksheet in that other workbook with a new drop down menu with only the four customers in that unit. As an example we will use the names SSG Wilson, SGT Jackson, SFC Jones, and SGT Phillips.
So when the Supply Tech here opens the spreadsheet, the first drop down menu, he will select Delta Co, 2-1 Aviation. Then the next menu will only show four names, and he will select SFC Jones.
Once we get this going, I may be able to figure out the other things the commander wants, if not I will be back.

I am trying to build a spreadsheet containing data validation (drop-downs). So far, so good.
My goal:
* I want to have various cells show dropdowns based on the value of a cell (per row) which itself can be changed by the user using a drop down.
* I want to have the same various cells show dropdowns that are also based on the value of a cell which has a fixed value per column (in other words, a header).
I have tried a lot of different approaches, including using the INDIRECT function, named ranges, dynamic ranges using a table, INDEX and MATCH. All have failed.
The main issues I see have to do with the fact that my data has several possible values for each given header and classification. Also all values are not unique.
The best result I have ever got returned a dropdown list based on the header bot returned the entire column rather than limited to the classification values. So for example I had all instances of 'Main Colour' to choose from, not just those of the classification value.

I'm currently developing a calendar that has a list in it with lets say 4 options. What I want the calendar to do is calculate at a specific 'cell' the number of entries that are selected during the month.
The idea is to have a drop down on each 'day' and a counter that calculates the number of times one specific options has been selected. Once the option has been selected the 'day' will change to the corresponding color.

to make the user experience better by inserting the " Stock Search" sheet to speed up the process. The spreadsheet attached is a simplified version of the current version, where it would normally have many many more sites, areas and models of cars. The existing process means the user has to trawl through the sheet where they are only interested in what sites in their area has stock. I can not change the format of the "Red" and "Yellow" sheets so hoping to insert another sheet to do the work.
I am hoping to have on the "Stock Search" sheet a few drop down boxes.
The user will select
1. Area
2. Type of Colour (the type of colour selected should link with the sheet name in effect, so only stock within the "Red" sheet will be shown if the "Red" colour is selected from the drop down box)
3. Model of Car
This will then give the resulting Store/Stores with stock (value 1 or above) with those conditions met which is showing in the relevant sheet
So as per the attached sheet, if a user selected Area "South West", "Red", "Renault Megane"
then SO10 Clifton 1 and SO15 Yeovil 3 would be shown in a list.

I have a fantasy baseball spreadsheet I've built. It includes player projections and people can input their league details. It then creates custom player cheatsheets for the user. There are a number of form options including buttons and drop-downs.
I've created this spreadsheet for a few years. For some unknown reason, since I finished version 2.0 of 2007 a few people have emailed me indicating they cannot see the form options. I still see them in my version of Excel. I definitely would have received more emails if this was impacting everyone, so it appears to only hit a few people. I asked about the version of Excel these people have, and that does not seem consistent. Plus, version 1.0 works for them. I only made some formula changes between 1.0 and 2.0.
Has anyone ever seen an issue like this before? Any idea why this might be happening?
The file download is available at the following address (download link on the right):

There are 2 spreadsheets in the download file. The Compiler is the one with the reported problem.

I am trying to do here is select a value from a drop down which is linked to a formula which triggers the macro shape..i have all that down already... but the problem is that I will have multiple values in the same drop down and I needed to figure a way to delete the previous macro shape in that range. And so i have created the delete all shapes code below but it seems whenever I use the code it deletes the data validation drop downs
here is what I have so far...
Function Macro()
'
DELETEALLSHAPES
'
'
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 220.5, 105.75, 92.25, 51#). _
Select
End Function
Function CIRCLES()
'
DELETEALLSHAPES

I have a workbook with several drop down boxes and formulas already set up and working. I want to improve it though. My question is.... is there a formula that will make the drop down list change based on a cell value....
For example: If B6 equals vegetables then C6 equals list (potato, carrot, pea, etc.) If B6 equals fruit then C6 equals list (apple, banana, grape)

I have created a drop-down menu combobox of districts and depending on your choice of districts the list of Health Centers in each district changes. What I want to do is to protect the contents of the cells that contain the health centers. The problem is that when I lock the cells and I choose a district, the Health Center cells cannot change because the cells are locked. Is there anyway around it?
I have attached the sample (Please look at sheet 2. The column that I want to block is the column FOSA)

I have created a color coded calendar on a spreadsheet for work that shows when a book will be published depending on when it comes into our warehouse, this is on sheet one.
I would like on sheet two to have some kind of filter or statement that would eliminate the need to look at the calendar, I.E. the user would just have to type in the date or select the date from a list and excel would show you what day the book would publish on using the data from sheet one.
I can imagine that this is hard to picture so i have attached the file as well.

I inherited a worksheet with 70k+ rows of data. As shown below each row contains a record number(Col A) with the date(Col B) it was created and value(Col C). There are 5 records per day. You can see in the example below that Col A has the value 30 duplicated for each day. Is it possible to rename only the second "30" in Col A for each day?
Col A
Col B
Col C

I'm trying to create a tag with a color border. What I desire is to fill the BLANK cells around the tag, A1:D1 + D1:D19 + A1:D19 + A1:19 in a certain color based on the text value of the cell B11. There are 5 different values, such that if the B11 read Red Sox - the boarder is going to be red, if it reads Houston Astros it will be dark blue, etc..
I have a similar problem with changing the color of the cell based on the month. So regardless of the year, 2014, 2015, 2016, etc... If I use MONTH() function I can just get numbers from 1-12. I want Cell C16-C18 to be certain color depending the date entered in cell C17 such that for each quarter, months 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12 they are different color.
I have had no luck with conditional formatting (and I also believe that it is good up to 3 cases only). I am decent in logic/programming language but have little knowledge with macro notation and especially how to run them in excel 2013. I do know how to start it alt+F11 and that I need to make sure that code is written under the specific sheet where my tag is located.

What I need to do is have a cell that will be say yellow until there is information put into this cell. The information could be in the format of text or numbers. The information would not always be the same so it would need to be yellow when there is no information in the cell and another colour or white when there is information in the cell.

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 .

Im currently creating a spreadsheet for my work, with common problems and solutions to one of our websites.
When the spreadsheet is opened, the user will click a button depending on what sort of problem he/she is having. In the example attached, if the user clicks on "make payments" a form will appear. This will have a list of problems.
if the user choses problem 1 from the drop down list, then I would like the list of solutions to problem 1(from the MPData sheet) to show in the box below. The same goes for problem 2, problem 3 etc.

it is possible to change the colour of a cell text and / or cell background depending on a value.
For example I have currently 2 cells with numbers in
G3 = 4.38
K3 = 8.68
What I wolud like to happen is for the cell with the lowest value to change to Red.
The Column letters will always remain the same but I do plan to add a lot more rows.
