How do I get a drop down (gender list) to affect the data in another cell? ie when male is selected this automatically affects another cell - data 13.5 and when female is selected as gender the cell data is 12.5.

I have a rather simple problem (tough for me!). I am setting up a food log. I would like to have one column with common food items that I have in a drop down list. The list would be about 20+ things. The other columns would have relevant nutritional info such as calories, fat, carbs, etc.
The problem is how do I make the values in the other columns change depending on which food item I pick from the drop down list?
For example, if I choose bread from the list, how would I get the columns for carbs and calories to change accordingly.
The IF function would be too hard because I couldn't nest 20+ IF functions in the formula for each cell. Also, the drop down list would change as my diet changes, possibly reaching 50+ things.
Also, I would like to manually enter a serving size that would alter the nutritional values in each column (for example 0.5*Calories or Carbs).
It seems so simple in my head, but I can't figure out how to get it to work.
I've created drop-down lists in cells B3 and B4 (this is in worksheet 1), based on a column in Worksheet 2. I'd like Worksheet 2 to autofilter the data based on the drop-downs in B3 or B4, or both together.

I have set it up where the user inputs the soldiers name, birthday, gender, push up raw score, sit up raw score, and run time raw score.
When I first wrote the program all I had were male soldiers, now I have female soldiers as well. My problem is I cannot figure out how to tell it to go to either the male or female data page. The code I had used for accessing the male page earlier was: =IF(OR(E3="",E3<17,F3=""),"",VLOOKUP(F3,'Male Points'!A4:K77,IF(E3>61,11, ROUNDUP((E3-16)/5+1,0)),TRUE))
Now I need the program to figure out which data sheet (Male Points or Female Points) to use. And will I have to adjust my code above as well?

I want to try and make my sheet a bit slicker and this would look great.
fill the column "Level 2 Area" based on the value selected from "Level 1 Area" which is coming from a drop down list. So the "Level 2 Area" will be a drop down list also based on the selected value from the drop down list from "Level 1 Area".

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'm looking for a way to get a unique list from a column to a data validation drop down list. Any fancy formula or vba script to create a UDF which. Does this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe idea is to select an item i one cell, which in return will affect the following cells with the nutritional values. So far so good. I would then like, if a given amount is entered, it calculates the values.
A food item is typed in Cell A. The following cells will Index Match a table (on a different sheet), importing calculation formulas based on the food items nutritional value (Cells C - G). If an amount is typed in Cell B (i.e. 100 grams) the following cells will then calculate the correct nutritional values.
i learned to make an INDEX MATCH function, so that when i type "Gulerod" or something like that, the following cells import information from the Table tab... When the table contains fixed values, this works just fine. However - i tried to make the table (the cells) with calculation formulas (i.e. =SUM(4*B3))... this means the values in the tables are 0 untill a value is typed in B3 (in this example).
... however when i do the Index Match in my main tab, only the "0"'s are imported, and no matter what value i enter in B3 in the main tab, the following cells remains with the fixed value 0.
... so my question is - is it even possible to have the Index Match function import the calculation formula from the table and have it work in the main tab as well? Or is there any other way to make this work in Excel? Basically - to have the main sheet find the relevant data to use for calculation on a different tab/sheet, and then do the actually calculations on the main tab/sheet.
I Attached a sheet for what i'm asking about ,, i sent it before but the sheet showing it more clearly

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'd like to create a drop down list in data validation from a column of data that contains numerous duplicates.
For example, let's say column A contained hundreds of transactions with either North, South, East and West, how could I create a drop down list in another cell that only had four selection options?
I have a list on one worksheet and I use a dropdown list from Data Validation to select the name required.
My list is so long that I would like to be able to type a letter or two to access to the name quicker instead of scrolling down.
I copied a formula that worked for someone else that put this formula in the data validation
(IF(I36<>"",OFFSET(Player,MATCH(I36&"*",Player,0)-1,,SUMPRODUCT((MID(Player,1,LEN(I36))=TEXT(I36,"0"))*1)),Player))
I do not wish to use VBA is possible.
I am currently stuck with a drop down list problem. I am trying to make a benchmarking solution for a group of 20 stores. All stores sell products uniformly and their sales are displayed in percentages of the cumulative total. Currently there is a benchmarking page where all stores sales per product is displayed, however I would like the ability to select specific stores data from a drop down list. I have pictures displaying the basic concept of what I want to achieve.

On the left a list of products and the quantities sold in percentages per store for benchmarking purposes.
What I would like to achieve relates to the drop down list on sheet 2.
store 1.PNG
Here store 1 can see its sales in percentages, and has a drop down list to compare to different stores. If store 3 is selected I would like the data to be pulled into that column from the benchmarking sheet and the same goes for the other stores of course.
I have a query with data validation.....
Can I have a cell rage.. say A2:E20...and every cell in it has a drop down data validation list, from data inputted into L2:L27 (For examples lets say L2 is A, L3 is B, L4 is C, L5 is D and so on).
if somewhere in the range A2:E20, say B6 I was to select D from the drop down list, I want the remainder of the cells in range A2:E20, to have the drop down list without the value D in it, and so on, so the more cells in the range I fill from the list, the list for empty cells gets smaller and smaller until there are none left.
I'd like to create a data validation with 1 dropdown list in the second worksheet in B4, relating to 3 cell ranges on the first worksheet (COS, Expenses & Capital). If 3 can't work, I've created 1 called 'dropdown' which incorporates all 3.
which formula I need to write into the validation, or what else I need to do in order to find a solution to this.
i created a drop down list from data validation and it's a list of names. as i select from the list of names, i just want the initials of the names to be shown, not the entire name itself.

I want to use excel to create quotations for customers. (currently doing it in word)
Tab 1 is the quote, has 4 columns, part number, description, cost, yearly maintenance
Tab 2 has all the things we sell, part number, description, cost, yearly maintenance. 150 lines.
So, Tab 1, description column is a drop down box from Tab 2. Working fine.
Question. When an item is selected from the drop down, how do I get it to then bring from tab 2 the part number, cost and yearly maintenance.
I have a very detailed spreadsheet with drop down lists. I would like to block other cells if previous cells have certain selections. I have 7 columns of data that get inputted throughout the month. These cells have drop down selections that I have created. Is there any way to create a drop down menu AND another data validation? So If a selection is made, then the next cells will be blocked, using data validation "custom"?

I am trying to have an automated pricing sheet (on different sheet) utilizing data validation and drop down lists.
For example each row should have this, the drop down list in the first columns should list all the Categories available (This part works fine for me and i can take care of the duplicates).
Once that has been selected, i have now the option of selecting using drop down list also (in second column) the items corresponding to the Category selected in first column (Only the items that are part of that specific category should be listed in the drop down list).
Once the item has been selected, the price of that respective item should be listed automatically in the 3rd column.
I have a workbook that contains data on a different sheet that I would like to populate on a different sheet by selecting a value from a drop down list. The format of the data is identical just different numbers. But are broken out into different projects... I am incredibly new at this and just barely learned how to make a drop down list.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have giant excel spreadsheet that I am trying to clean up. I want to make one of the columns (with around 3000 rows and may of them are the same) into a drop down list.

View 1 Replies View RelatedInsert a drop down list that is attached to a bunch of data to make it easier to navigate through the data.
Therefore, when you chose one item in the list it will populate data in the worksheet for that item in the list and change for each item in the list.
For example, if you have ten people's names in the list when you pick Nancy it will show you information on her and when you pick Scott it will populate with completely different data. The data all coming from one master tab.
I have a workbook with two spreadsheets, one blank and one with a Header row and a list of employee names and random dates that will continue to be added to at the bottom per a copy and paste.
What I need is to have a form dropdown on the blank sheet (per a cell reference) that shows employee names and dates that has that name next to it in the data sheet.
The employee names are in three columns Last, First, and Middle and the dates are in a separate column (A).
I guess I need a VLOOKUP that can take the range and pull into the dropdown the employee name and every date associated with that name.
I am in the process of creating a database, and have used 'Data Validation' to create drop down lists in order to obtain information quickly from the database.
I have encountered an issue where if I have a list the resembles the one shown below, the drop down list will show spaces.
This is particularly an issue for myself and my database because there is over 1,000 items in the list, and there are countless empty cells within the list. I have tried sorting the list, BUT because the database is quite large, sorting it will disrupt other functions of the database.
Ideally, I would like the drop down list to show only entries within the list that are not empty so the drop down list is entirely relevant, and more user friendly.
I have a grade book with 17 worksheets 1 for each subject = each of the sheets are identical with the students names in col B and the data is entered manually in the corresponding cols along side the names.
What I would like is a vba solution to enter the data in a worksheet called 'datainput' = which would be identical in layout as the above subject sheets= and by the use of a drop down list with the names of the 17 subject sheets = copy the data in the 'datatinput' worksheet into the next available blank col in the worksheet selected from the drop down list=and with a command button erase the data in the 'datainput' worksheet ready to enter new data.
When it huge list of data for drop down list, it is too much time consume. If i type a letter, it will show all those quarry or data which start with that letter. It need not to scrolling huge list.Scrolling is barrier for use of data validation for me . I tried all dependable data validation.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a data validation in a cell that works like this : if a control cell has the value "F" it validates the input with some dates in a custom list, if not it does nothing.
The formula looks like this :
=IF(F2="F",datelist,"")
It works fine but I also want it to display the drop down list when cell F2 = F, now all i can do is type a value and it checks if it's ok.
Can I do this without using vba ? I will send this to other persons and I don't want the macro warning to pop up when they open it.
