Find All Occureneces Of The Same Last Name And List Them For User To Chose

Aug 5, 2008

how to search through a list of last names in column B, then find all of the last names which are the same as what is being searched for, then list them along with their first name which is located in the adjacent column A, this list of names is then displayed to the user to chose the name needed.

eg.

a) User enters in the last name "Smith".

b) program searches all of column B and finds 3 occurences of the last name "Smith".

c) it then adds the first name to each of them which is located in column A next to each "Smith".
ie. John Smith
Larry Smith
Fred Smith
Maybe list these in a list box or something.

d) Now the user wants Larry Smith, so all he does is click on Larry Smith, and then that full name is entered into column A on the next worksheet.

Convert Result Of Formula To $ From HNL Based On Chose In Validation Column

Feb 20, 2014

We receive payments in either USD or HNL. I want to be able to have a final price (last column) that puts all prices in USD. I have a reference cell on a separate worksheet (drop down inputs) that we will use to store the data for validations and the conversion rate. We use one conversion rate for all transactions for a fiscal year, so only need to update once a year. Not sure how to make this work.

Named List: Data Validation To Restrict The User To Only Selecting Values In A List

Jun 15, 2007

I'm trying to use data validation to restrict the user to only selecting values in a list which I create. Right now, the list is a named range. I'd like to get rid of the range and just use a named list. I create a name using the following as my list.

Insert > Name > Create
Name: Fruit

Refers to:
banana,apple,orange

When I try to use the name Fruit in my data validation, I get the message "The List Source must be a delimited list, or a reference to single row or column." I thought my name "fruit" was a delimited list.

Getting User Input For Find Macro

Feb 27, 2009

Due to the economy we are only scheduling days to work one week ahead which leads to alot of phone calls. The gaurds who get the calls then search thru a printed spreadsheet looking for a clock number or last name. I realized right away they should just look at the file on the computer and due edit - find. The problem is they due not use computers unless printing and they looked at me like I was talking in a different language. So I want to edit this macro below so it will allow user to type in search criteria instead of using same search criteria every time. Here it is 70039. I also need to place a shortcut or button to this macro on the toolbar or sheet and do not know how. How do I stop "remove macro or enable when file is loaded"?

How To Use For Each Instead Of User Selected List

This works just fine, however i have to select each individual person and run the macro for each person, how to automate that part of the macro, so it will automatically create the said sheet for all person at once, rather than me doing it manually.

[Code] .....

The 'CurrentMonth' variable is user selected from a list, and will remain that way.

I would like to allow the user to have multiple buttons, check boxes, or radio buttons to select from. (any of those will work). For example: "Select the Customer Service Representative you worked with: "

Find User Input & Output Found Row

Apr 10, 2008

I am trying to write a match function to return the row of the value I search for. It is properly returning the value of the row I searched for. What I need to know is how do I get it to spit out information in the rest of the row. Here is my code so far:

Sub Rectangle2_Click()
Dim x As Long
Dim Row As Long

' Brings up input box
x = InputBox("Please Enter Tool Information", "Search")


'Exits if nothing is entered in the text box
'If x = "" Then Exit Sub
'MsgBox (SearchString)
'SearchString = x
MsgBox (x)

That gives me a Type mismatch error when I uncomment it out.

Something I was adviced of before in a situation like this way to Concatenate the columns, e.g
=A2&B2&C2&D2&E2&F2
in a far left column (insert 1 if needed).

That was supposed to be so that I can search through multiple columns. When I do that to test it, it never comes up with results. It always comes back as 0 meaning it wasn't found.

List Inside Of A User Form

May 14, 2009

Working on a user form... I have a combo box, with a list of the items available.... then I have a text box that inputs the quantity. Is there a way that I can put a list underneath in such a way that every time I select a item, put the quantity in the text box, it will list down in that list?

In other words... If I have 5 products for the same order I would pick one, qty and click add, then another one, qty, and add... so on. That way I would be able to see all of the items that I have picked.

How To Generate User-defined List

Mar 6, 2012

This is what I'm trying to achieve: Display a list box (or any other appropriate form/active X control) to get input from the users which is usually a list of several terms. Once they've input the list, upon clicking 'OK' it should add them all to Col. B.

The above request WILL be a good solution, but if there is an advanced solution to this for eg., something like a list box with buttons, for instance: click on 'Articles' and it populates 'a,' 'an,' & 'the, click on 'Prepositions' and it populates all the pre-fed prepositions, etc. that would be PERFECT!

Hide Macro List From User

Jan 23, 2008

Macros that are active in a workbook can typically be viewed by going to Tools->macro->macros. Once there anyone can see all the macros being used in the workbook.

Is there anyway to prevent the user from viewing the macros, actually I don't mind the names being displayed, but I don't want some of the macros to be launchable on demand by the user.

I have some macros stored that have the passwords to unlock the worksheets. I suppose

I can restructure the macros to possibly avoid this security issue if nothing else is available.

Allow User To Choose From List Of Open Windows?

Mar 27, 2009

I have a few macros that need to work with various worksheets which are in different windows.

1. Make the user name the files a certain way for consistency
2. Make the user type the name of each window at the start of execution

I was wondering if there was a more flexible option though: one which would allow the user to choose from a list of open windows (similar to the Window>More Windows>Activate function in Excel).

Ideally the macro would run and say something like, "Which of the following open windows contains dataset1?" "Which of the following open windows contains dataset2?"

Dropdown List With User Response Type-in

May 18, 2007

I know how to create a basic dropdown list, but what I don't know (I don't even know if it is possible to do at all) is how to allow user type-in response if the "Other (please specify)" option is used.

Column A
Question 1. What type of report are you using?
Column B will contain

Type I Report
Type II Report
Other (please specify)

If Type I or II is chosen from the list, I don't want user to be able to change anything. But If the Other (please specify) option is selected I would like to give user an ability to type in type of the report he/she is using. Also, is there a way to have list options chosen based on another list response?

Collect Password From User & Match To List

Jan 29, 2008

I have an input box for a password, and my vb code checks the password against a list, and if it is correct allows the user to continue. I want to change the input box for a user form, as it allows more text on the form, and I also want to include a checkbox that the user must tick to show that they have read and understood the instructions. I have defined the form, but am having trouble getting the form to interpret the user input.

The form has one checkbox, which needs to be ticked to continue, otherwise give a message saying that you have to confirm. It also has one textbox, for the user to input the password. I dont understand how to name the contents of the text box, and use it in the following code. Also do I need a "send" button on the user form, for the user to click after entering the password. If so how does that work?

Create Sub-list From Larger List And Find MIN Value In Another Column?

Feb 6, 2014

I am looking for a formula to search two columns.

1) The first column needs to be search to match a text string.

2) If the text string matchs, I need excel to evaluate the number in the second column and find the MIN value of all numbers associated with the text string.

So:

Joe 50
Jim 12
Joe 10
Rob 25
Jim 8
Rob 99

When searching for "Joe", the function would return 10. When searching for "Jim" the function would return 8. For "Rob", it would return "25".
