Use Or Not Use Dropdown List Depending On Another Cell Value?

Aug 18, 2014

I would like to use or not use a dropdown list in data validation depending on the value of another cell. The application is to be able to choose a state from the dropdown list only if the country selected in another cell is "US". If the country is not US then I want the user to be able to fill in free text and there be no dropdown list. I know it's possible to have a dropdown list and allow entries without it being on the list but I need the dropdown list not to appear at all if the value is not US.

Single Cell Value From Either Dropdown List Or Enter Manually Depending On Selection

Jun 22, 2014

I have a cell in my spreadsheet that I use to control the size of a column. I formatted the cell as a number and added data validation to make sure the number is greater than zero. Then I realized that I need to also allow for the option of auto sizing the column as well. This would require a data validation list type with something like True and False for the choices.

What I want to be able to do is have it both ways. I want a drop down list in that cell with the options Auto Size or Custom. If Auto Size is selected the cell value gets set to that. If Custom is selected I then want to be able to type in a number.

Is there a way to setup a cell such that the value is either an item from the drop down list or, entered directly (depending on the list selection)?

I know I can do it with dependent lists but that would require two cells, one for the auto size mode (true/false) and the other for manual width value.

Entering Data From Top / Beginning Of List

Feb 10, 2012

I am trying to create a list of customer credits for my store. I have the person's name, the date of their credit, and the amount of the credit. This list will eventually be substantial and I would like to know how I can set it up so that when I open the worksheet I can enter new names from the top of the list and have the rest of the list shift downwards. This would stop me from having to scroll to the very bottom to add new info every time.

I would like to have it set up this way so that eventually I could put a search query at the top of the page (i'm thinking of rigging something up using vlookup) so that when my employees want to access the data base they can easily search a name and have the relevant info brought up, or can easily type in new store credits.

Macro To Create A Dialog Box For Entering And Updating Drop Down List?

Oct 31, 2013

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.

Using Dropdown List While Entering Data Via Excel Built In Form Function

Jan 19, 2013

how to add a drop down list while using the excel form for data entry.

Basically I am trying to make it easy for a non technical person to add ebay items to a spreadsheet. This sheet is them used in sixbit software to upload to ebay.

All of these items will have some constants (such as length of listing or listing type etc) but selected from a small list i.e they can ONLY be certain times or types for example . So a list is very important to make sure there are no errors but also for speed.

The sheet has a number of headings so when I select the form function in excel the box comes up with the desired entry boxes just fine but I cant get a list to select from even when I have already created a drop down list in excel sheet.

Creating Bucket List Depending Upon Value

Feb 19, 2014

Formula/function to put a set of values into a bucket, depending upon the value.

I've attached a spreadsheet with sample data for your review.

I'm looking to put the Ranking # into one of several Ranking Buckets based on the criteria below:

1-399
400-449
0, 450-499
500-549
550-599
600-649
650-699
700+

I've tried using a LOOKUP function, but I think I'm missing something with it.

=LOOKUP(C2,{1-399,449,499,549,599,649,650,700},{"1-399","400-449","450-499","500-549","550-599","600-649","650-699","700+"})

Update Validation List Depending On Another Value

Mar 14, 2007

I have a drop down list in a column where i want the user to select one of the options which is an action to be taken. The actions would be dependant on the what the persons performance rating was, so for example, if the person has Exceeded their performance targets, the only 2 applicable actions would be High Potential and Emerging Talent. Please see attached file for the actions related to the peformance rating.

I want the validation list of actions to change accordingly depnding on what the persons performance rating is. So in the example attached, i want to look up the rating in column A and have the options appear according in the same row in column B.

Populate List Box Depending On Valid Range

Jul 6, 2012

I'm trying to make a listbox that contains a list of items from ranges that differ depending on the contents of one cell.

In other words, say the contents of the cell in question is 'flower' the listbox will be populated with the range of cells containing flower names; if the cell was 'shrubs' the same listbox would be populated with the range of cells containing shrub names.

I've scoured the site, but can't find an exact query that matches mine (though I've probably missed a bunch of them).

List Box Depending On Combobox And Add Or Delete Items To Range

Jul 4, 2009

i had a user form with a Combo box,list box,text box and a command button. I need the code that works upon selecting:

1)An Item from the combo box should display the list in the list box.

eg: If Country is selected from the combobox then the list box should contain all the names of the countries from the country Column

2)An item should be added to the list in the worksheet when an item is entered in the textbox.

Like wise, when an item is selected from the combobox from "Delete Items List" all the items relating to the item selected from the combobox should be displayed in the list box and a choice to delete the items relating to the combobox item should be provided.

Re-entering Cell Value

Dec 7, 2009

In some of my formulas, I need to re-enter the contents of the cell in order for a formula to compute.

For example, I am doing some math on a cell whose original contents are "10:21:00 AM" The formula returns a #NUM!. If I retype 10:21 in the cell and hit enter, the formula will now calculate properly. I have reformatted the entire column several times so that it is a custom hh:mm format. The original content also shows as time so I don't think that it is a formatting issue.

My worksheet has about 20,000 rows and this only happens for about 100 of the rows. It is pretty time consuming to manually go fix each one. Any ideas what is going on here?

Auto Fill Cells Depending On Drop Down List Selection

Sep 22, 2008

I am trying to make a calendar spreadsheet to enable me to track allowance payments i am due from my company.

This payment is worked out by three conditions - where i am working (7 regions), how many days of the week (4,5,6 or7) and how many hours (<7,8-9 or 10-12)

I have made drop down lists to select each of the values for the three conditions and want to show the total for them

i can total the entire spreadheet for the month up using fairly large "COUNTIF" statements, but i want to be able to show what the exact amount is in each cell not just a complete total.

i.e. i am away for 6 days i get £15 extra, if i am in Europe i get another £50 and if i work 12 hours i get £30.

I want to be able to calculate this total in each cell for that day.

I can send a copy of the spreadsheet i have got at the moment if that will make things clearer than what i have tried to explain.

Entering Data In A Cell

Jan 5, 2007

Earlier this morning I had a telephone call from a customer who uses a spreadsheet I created.

She explained that once she'd entered information into a cell [and clicked elsewhere] she couldn't then add to the former; rather, she had to click on the cell and type it all out again.

I assumed that, as an inexperienced excel user, she was unware of either double-clicking the cell, or selecting and pressing F2. I explained these methods to her.

She later emailed me with this:

"Further to our phone conv this morning I have just tried double-clicking on cells but it deletes everything in the cell rather than lets you edit what is there – F2 does the same thing. This applies to any cell, whether it is text, date or number."

I've been using excel for a while now, and I've never come across such a thing before.

Has anyone else? Could it be to do with her own excel settings? (other customers have had no such problem)

Create A New Tab When Entering Value Into A Cell

Mar 16, 2007

What I'm trying to do is enter a value/text into a cell - say (A1). After I enter the value/text I would like to have a new tab populated with all the information on the current sheet and the tab name referencing cell A1. I tried running a few different scenarios using macros and have come up short. I want to be able to do this multiple times with different values/text. For example if I enter B606123 into cell A1 I want a tab to be created named B606123. Then later I might want to add B606096 and have that created without effecting B606123.

Entering Current Folder Into A Cell

Oct 29, 2013

I have been looking for a way to enter the folder where the excel file is located into a cell.

I have seen you can add the whole path (=CELL("filename") ), however I am only wanting the 'last' folder it is in. For Example:

C:docsfolderdataClass D4John WayneProfile.xlsx

Would enter "John Wayne" into cell. The cell is namely the "name" cell.

I work in a school and a teacher is wanting a couple of different excel files for each student (600 students) I am hoping that I can put the files in a folder with the students name as the folder. That way at least its only 600 names and not 600x7! The other details are similar on a lot of the files such as class (this is also one of the folders in the path).
