I am trying to create a drop down list so that when the user choose Option A, Outcome A populates the cell.
So for example, I am looking to show a list of all Grades within the company, when the user selects a grade, the salary is populated into the cell.
I have a 5 row list in WA2. Each row holds its data across 3 columns i.e A1description, B1 product code, C1 unit cost. In WA1 I want to have a drop down table in cell B3 that looks at this range and then populates this information into B3, C3 and C4. I have tried data validation but it keeps telling me that it can only look at a single row or single column
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been asked to create a calendar which will display, on the applicable date of expiry, a contract name. Basically so someone can go and see what contracts are due to expire. And then if a new contract comes up it will automatically be added.
I have a list of Contract names in one column followed by the expiry date.
I have looked around and there are some things which could help but they are seriously complicated and I can't work out how to apply it to my situation.
I have a spreadsheet called contacts which is as it says, I have another sheet called project management, I want to have a drop down list which refers back to the contacts spreadsheet, it this possible as they are two different files?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a macro which gives me an input box. I need to enter 2 numbers into the input box. It would be as follows:
Input Box Msg 1 - "What is your labor cost?" (NUM1)
Input Box Msg 2 - "What is your productivity rate?" (NUM2)
Then I need the macro to take this info and enter it into a formula which changes according to the row which you are on. (I need the macro to work based on which ever cell I currently have selected). The formula would be this if I currently had a cell on row 10 selected:
=(NUM1*(NUM2*$H10))/$H10
So, if I currently had cell L10 selected, and I ran the macro and put 100 in for "NUM1" and 10 for "NUM2" and my sheet had 20 in cell H10, then the macro would enter the number 1,000 into cell L10. If I had L500 selected, then the macro would enter the final number into cell L500 based on what value H500 contained.
I do not know how to create a drop down list to ensure the user inputs only the values from that list. Once I figure this out I would love to add a drop down calender for a cell as well.

No Blanks. Cells E1:E150 will be either a 1 or a blank.

I have created the list but it has blanks between names and I just want the names....
is it possible to create a list of parts from a selection in one drop down box
ie

ideally this list would start on another worksheet starting on row 10
I'm able to create a simple User form Drop-down list that references a cell range list. ( as a test for myself) I have 4 separate macros I would like to run individually. Rather than create 4 separate buttons, I'd like to be able to select each one via Drop-Down list.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using dependent drop-down lists. In the first box the user can choose a color which drives a set of options in the second box. (e.g. User selects "Red" and in the second dropdown they can then choose "Red A", "Red B", "Red C", etc.). Right now, if you select "Orange", it will still show "Red A" from the previous selection until the user selects the dropdown in the dependent box to refresh the list of options. Is there a way to make it so that second dropdown box will default to "Orange A"?
I tried writing some code to do this, but I can't seem to make it work. I've attached my file.
I am making a spreadsheet for food and calories, On sheet one i have a meal tracker, I want to have a drop down list in colum 1 that references the food list on sheet 2, column A=food, column B=Protien, column C=Carbs, column D=fat. The values from Sheet 2 columns B-D would then be inserted into Sheet A in the respective slots. I have fiddled with vlookup and tried numerous things but I can't seem to figure this out.

I need all thos enames in a drop down list but i think i keep doing things wrong, I am doing it like this,
All names are in cells A23-A33, i have highlighted them and named them (Names) using the name box in the top left corner, i have then gone to Data, Validation, List, Then i have sourced it to "Names" and clicked ok, this is where my problem is. It Makes all the boxes for Name 1 - Name 10 Drop Down Boxes... And when i click on any of them it gives me a list of all the names, when i click on one of the Names that name appears in the drop down box but the original Name dissapears from the box completely!
Name 1
Name 2
Name 3
Name 4

I have a list of 688 codes in a column (lets say column A). e,g 23, AB, FX, NV, D8. Each code corresponds to a text In the next column (lets say column B) for example AA is the code for "Transmission". Using a clean spreadsheet and using a drop down list, I would like the cell to the right of the selected dropdown code, to automatically fill in the text of what the code corresponds to.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a list of jobs being displayed using the following code. All sheet names that start with AJ, CJ and PJ within the workbook are how the list is created.

what i want to do is create a drop list within each job sheet within the workbook that will display the names of the jobs above. Now the thing is I cannot choose the range like normal from data - validation - list as I will not know how many job names will be displayed so I dont know how many cells to include in the range.
I have a Validation drop down box (column B) and a defined range drop down box (column E linked to the Totals tab with A2-A31 defined as Products) that I need to activate everytime data is added to a new line in column 'A' and cells in column 'B' or 'E' are selected. Additionally, they need to activate if the cells in column 'B' or 'E' are selected for any of the old data so changes can be made. This will help reduce the overall file size and calculation time for a year's worth of data.
There is already some code on the worksheet that looks like it can be adapted if someone knows how to code in the drop down boxes.
I need to create a 'sub' list from a drop down list.
I have 8 categories in a drop down list in column A, but i need column B to also have a drop down list of sub categories depending on what category is selected in column A.
And once column B is populated, i need column C to auto populate with a value. All data is stored on the spreadsheet.
This is what I'm trying to do:
1. When a user clicks on a Drop down box and selects "Add New", I would like a Macro to run
2. I want this Macro to open up a Dialog/Text box to say "Enter New Information" where the user can enter in some text
3. The text that is entered by the user into this box will be added as a new entry into the Drop down box selection
My VBA knowledge is still at a beginner's level and I know how to get a Macro to run based on a cell value. However I don't know how to create a Macro for the dialog box nor do I know how to create a Macro for updating the drop-down items.
I am currently building a sheet that requires a drop down box that will auto-populate two separate fields. I have tried to the point of being suicidal to make this work but to no avail.
A detailed explanation:
The worksheet containing the drop down list and fields that need to auto-populate.
sheet example.png
The raw data, located on a separate tab in the same workbook. (Note: there are over 1500 rows of data)
sheet example 2.png
The drop down box will be in the "Description" column and will contain a list of services my company provides. Once selected it will auto-populate the "Rate" column and the "Item ID" column. The raw data that the list is pulling from is located on a separate tab.
I can make the list just fine, it's easy enough to just go to the Data Validation feature and point to where you want the list and where you want the data to come from, but getting the list to pull the data from different columns and go into the columns on the work sheet is apparently beyond my knowledge of excel. I figured it would just be a simple formula setup through the VLOOKUP formula wizard but I've tried it at least 20 different ways, all of which fail. I've tried HLOOKUP too but it also failed.
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 .
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to generate a list based on the value of a cell. That list will then be used as the range for a drop-down list. Example: Cell A1 returns a value of 15
A drop-down list displays the values 1 through 15. Cell A1 changes to 20
Drop-down list displays the values 1 through 20. I assume I'll need a two-step macro to accomplish this but I can't figure out the logic to populate the drop-down.
I've got a spreadsheet that contains company names and columns with specific information about each company. There is a different company in each row.

Is it possible to have the value in one cell determine which cells to "data validate" for a drop down list?

When the user inputs the Port of Entry into a cell can I create a drop down list that shows the data related to that individual port?

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.
