Oct 31, 2011

I have a list of locations, I then clicked another cell went to Data tab and selected Data Validation, and then clicked under "Allow" the List option and for source I put the range of my locations.

So I now have a list dropdown of locations.

What I need to do is add predicitive text to this, so when the user selects L, it for example shows london. This works when u use the filter option, but I need it to work using List Dropdown, is this possible, >? maybe via VBA code.

Formula To Find Two Cells Based On Dropdown List And Then Workout Difference?

Jun 5, 2014

I have a list of Names that has numbers accumulated over months. I am looking for a formula to use in a search tool that uses a drop down list to identify the name I am looking for and then the formula will show me the increase that happened in certain months.

See the attachment the result is coming from Denominators tab, I want the answer displayed in the Display tab, you will see a drop down list at C3 in Display, I am trying to show the answer in cell D9-I9.

how many the denominator has increased in that month. so for D9 it will come from denominator tab column c minus b, E9 will be d minus c

Dropdown List With Text Choices With Hidden Value?

Apr 24, 2013

I created a dropdown menu, that asks you make a choice from a list.

"Under 5"
"Between 5 and 10"
"Over 10"

However I want to connect the choice to a certain number and use it for a formula. For example:

"Under 5" is equal to 1
"Between 5 and 10" is equal to 2
"Over 10" is equal to 3

So if I make a formula to multiply the cell that says Under 5, excel to understand it is actually the digit 1.

Creating A Dropdown List Using Matching Data From 2 Columns To Populate The List

Jun 11, 2013

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

Dropdown List Based On List In Another Cell Using Indirect?

Jan 29, 2013

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.

Adding Text Entered In Userform Combobox Into Dropdown List

Aug 1, 2012

I am not sure if this can be done easily but essentially what I have is a userform that fills out a form that will used by several different people and saved to a central location.

There is a blank combobox currently labeled "Supplier:" that each person fills out each time on the userform (there are no dropdowns yet).

What I am wanting to do is for every person who saves (I have coded the save button) with the "Supplier:" combobox filled out to save what they entered and input that into the combobox dropdown so when the next person uses the userform the entry the previous person entered would be in the combobox as an option to select.

Essentially, a combobox populates itself based on what previous users have entered into it.

Automatically Select Item From Dropdown List Based On Cell Text

Apr 8, 2013

I have a spreadsheet where user can search for information inside a search box and the appropriate rows are returned using formulas.

I have a drop down list (Category: Model) in the search box as well as a search field (Category: Program, cell D2). Underneath the search box, search rows are returned with column categories: Program, Model, etc.

What I require is that if a user enters the specific program into the search field D2, then the dropdown list would automatically choose which model that program belongs to based on the returned row.

For example, if I typed "engine" into D2 and pressed enter,

Under the records section (Row 14 and beyond), the following record will pop up:

Program
Model
Indicators

Engine
F-16
3a

Based on the record, F-16 would be chosen from the dropdown list. Is there any way this can be done?

Variable Dropdown List For Inventory List

May 24, 2014

Im trying to organize a tools inventory list. Its supposed to be sort of like an order sheet for each department. But what I want to do is when I select either CARPENTRY, or any of the other trades from a drop-down list, I'll be able to select from another drop-down list items associated with that trade in particular. So eventually I want the master data hidden, preferably in another sheet. I searched all of Google but it seems a bit complicated to get it done. I've attached the sheet so that you can see what I'm talking about. MOVE IN MASTER LIST.xlsx

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".

Find All The Records That Appear In My List More Than Five Times Then Make A List

Jul 31, 2008

I have a list of 200,000 e-mail addresses in a excel document in column A. What i am trying todo is find all the duplicate e-mail addresses within the list that appears more than four times.

I have tried this forumla in colunm B so it lists how many times the record appears: =countif($A$2:$A$244270,A2) which works fine and then a number appears next to each record. Then i pressed the sort filter to arrange all the records in number order so all the 5's are at the top of the worksheet but that does'nt always list them in the correct number order.

Basically all i want todo is find all the records that appear in my list more than five times then make a list of just one of those 5 records so i can remove them from my e-mail system.

Find List And Count All Words Within A Text String?

Feb 26, 2014

I have uploaded my spreadsheet.

I have a column of text strings on Sheet1, Column A, which I need to check for the presence of keywords listed on Sheet2, Column A

So if any word from the keyword list on Sheet2, Column A is found in, say, cell A2 of Sheet1, the cell to its right (B1) should have a formula to display the count of keywords found in A2. I also would like to see each keyword identified either through a highlight or a list. I need the formula to NOT be case sensitive and the match does not have to be for whole words).

Creating Compact Text List After Comparing List Against Two Variables

May 8, 2014

I would like to be able to compare the "standards" in Column A with the Assessment status in Column B and the Assessment period in Column C in order to generate a compact list in another workbook (ideally) or tab (if not). A list might typically contain all the standards that have been M (mastered) during a given Assessment period. I realize that filters would achieve this to a large extent but I was hoping to automatically populate another worksheet or tab.
