Is is possible to get a dropdown list to show the actual characters as they appear in windings or marlett as shown in the source? When I try I am just getting a load of u's with accents and dots above.
I am trying to do this without using a macro.
I have set up a simple form in excel, whereby people use drop down menus to select the appropriate information (as all data inputted needs to be entered in exactly the same way to allow sorting, counting etc) so I thought drop downs were best. The trouble is the data is carried through to my excel database (on another worksheet) were it is shown in numeric values dependant on how far down the drop down list the select item appears (ie "Fareham" is third on the list, so shows in the database as "3").
I'd very much like my database to be easier to read and actually show Fareham etc, rather than be populated with lots of numbers. I initially tried using IF function (ie =IF(C3=3,"Fareham") but unfortunately two of my drop down lists are too long for this (with 25 and 33 entries respectively).
I have a price list with type & price, I want do a drop down list for type (this is solve), so when i select list at type, the cell I want it show price.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I get the dropdown list to not include blank cells in the list reguardless if the sort filter is used or not.
Sheet 1 (STATS) is the dropdownlist Cell B12
Sheet 2 (Orders) is the data, I cant convert to tables because the cells are active and storted Column B2: is the data named.
so I have to use a formula to do this.
Using Excel 2010
See attached sample
Sample.xlsm
I have scoured the net for the following and have not been able to find a solution. I have found variations but not something specific for the use needed here.
I have attached a file with sample data which has the following format.
Column 1 = vehicle model (in this example golf, jetta, but there will be over 100 choices)
Column 2 = vehicle package option for specified vehicle model (automatic transmission, manual transmission, automatic transmission with air conditioning, etc...)
Column 3 = vehicle colour available for vehicle package option
Please note that Column 2 values for 'golf' are different than values available for 'jetta' (in the sample data I have blocked out common values with the same colour for quick and easy identification)
Also please note that Column 3 values of colour options vary for each 'vehicle package option'.
The behaviour that would be ideal is to have 3 drop down menus. The first drop down menu will allow selection from column 1 and will show each model only one time and repeated values will not be shown. The second drop down menu will only show the options available based on the selection in the first drop down menu. Likewise, the third drop down menu will show the colour options available based on the selection in the second drop down menu.
Since my data will involve hundreds of unique values in column 1 with plenty more added over time, it seems that the format of the data and the way it is laid out in the attached sample is the easiest way to organize it. It is perhaps also the easiest way to include new data without a lot of reprogramming.
Sample Data - Dependent Drop Down Cells Question.xlsx
See xls file. I have this chart and the data labels are percentages instead of the actual value. How did these get that way? Under Chart Options there is a autotext box that is there but if I uncheck it, the data labels go back to the actual dollar value and that autotext box goes away.
I am totally baffeled by this despite serach the help, the internet and this forum. I am sure it is something easy I am missing.
Can some one provide some color on this?
I cut this from a larger book with many tabs because I am not able to send out the entire thing (proprietary).
How do I format numbers so it will show the actual first digit, and the rest as x?
so that $1,234.56
will appear as $1,xxx.xx
or alternatively,
$1,234,567.89
will appear as $1,xxx,xxx.xx
I would prefer to do this with custom formatting rather than VBA,
(this is so I can generate sample reports for prospective clients, without showing the real numbers in the tables)
I have weekly budget report (for the entire year) that I put in a Pivot Table with approx 20 different row labels. The actual revenue numbers come only once a month (several different reports make up the actual revenue numbers). I need to put the actual numbers on the same row as the budget numbers and I can't figure it out.
For example, for the first three months of the year, I have the pivot table showing everything perfectly. In February, I get January's actual revenue numbers that now "replace" the budget numbers for January. If this was a regular table, I could easily overwrite these numbers, but with the pivot table, I can't get these two fields to line up. For now, I have the Actual Revenue numbers on the Rows above the Budget numbers for their respective months/quarters.
how can i convert a column of hyperlinks that i have to the actual addreses. for instance, i may have in one cell ebay that would link to "www.ebay.com". i would like the cells in a column, or if not another column to display in text the actual addresses and not the word, if that makes sense. can i do this via worksheet formulae or is it in the realms of vba?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 10 worksheets. I would like to create a macro to find all the "2" values on worksheet 1, and have the actual range that the cell is, compiled into a list -example: I would like the list to be similar to this= (A1,B15 ,C8)
I even tried to record it but it doesnt show me the actual range that the data is found in.
I am trying to pull data from more than one drop down but don't the same data to show if already use, example as follow:
First drop down Contains:- Pants
Shirts
Hats
Shoes
Dresses
if I chose Hats it should not show up in the second drop down
second drop down Contains:- Pants
Shirts
Shoes
Dresses
Is this done in data validation or combo Box? if so how?

I have 2 related columns with one to many relationship, on a tab populated with some data. On another tab I'm referencing these 2 columns. When I populate one column I would like a drop down showing all the related data from the 2nd column of the first tab in the 2nd tab. I'm unable to do a named range as my first column has spaces in its name.

I know when a user clicks a row worksheet change event is call. I can write a function in the worksheet change event to populate values in the dropdown. I went through some articles, and they say it can be done by hiding and unhiding rows.
I'm creating a spreadsheet to keep track of my costs of production in an online game. Within the game there are a range of spawned resources that appear for only a short time before being unobtainable these resources have specific types that is shared between multiple spawns of the resource but each resource spawn has a unique name.
My first worksheet lists all the resources and their various qualities and the later worksheets are meant to allow me to choose from a list resources matching the requirements of the item I'm looking to craft. The example i have shown in the second picture requires Tatooinian Fiberplast and Lokian Wild Wheat to craft so in the Chosen Resource column I would like to have a drop down list allowing me to select the named resource type i would like to use - for Tatooinian Fiberplast the only thing on the list should be Omnitwixi and for the Wild Wheat it should show Fizi and Krad

I am aware there are people with more pressing problems than computer games and as such
I have set of data in excel which is basically a table of workload and I need to be able to select someones name from a dropdown list and all the other names are removed.
I've attached a screen shot of an example, I want to be able to select any name from a dropdown e.g. Select Trevor and then only cells which contain Trevor are shown (i.e. the other names disappear). BUT all the jobs 1-10 and Stage 1-3 have to stay even if Trevor doesn't work on them.

I have 3 related dropdown lists that work perfectly, if you enter data from left to right. But, if you click in the cell containing the second list, which is based on the first list, of which nothing has been selected, you can just type any value in the cell. Is there a way to prevent this, or at least validate that what is entered is a value in the list.
