How To Make Few Dropdown Lists Depending On One Before

Jan 7, 2014

how to make few dropdown lists depending on one before.

Example: I have table with next data: COLUMN A: (A1) Expense Type ( in all columns under A1 are types of expenses );

(A2) total trip cost;
(A3) Prize promo tour cost;
(A4 ) court renting cost;
(A5) Prize IPP cost

In columns B1, C1, D1, E1 are cities. Under each city is value for type of expense. I have uploaded worksheet for example.

Now, problem is next: I am trying to make drop down lists ( in new work sheet ) by using depending data from data table.

1.I made drop down list in first cell (let's say it is an A1 cell ) where I can chose city ( for example City of Zagreb ).

2.Then in next cell (B2) I would like to choose type of expense in drop down list ( for example Total trip cost ).

3.Finally, in C3 cell I would like to make drop down list that offers me just expense value for combination of chosen city ( Zagreb ) and chosen expense type ( Total trip cost ).

Lists, How To Make Drop-down Lists Optional

May 13, 2009

Is there a way to make a drop-down list optional? When I create drop-down lists the user has to make a choice from that list.

Example: a list of doctors. I need the user to be able to select from that list if the patient saw one of those physicians, but if the patient saw another doctor not on the list, I need the user to be able to enter the name of that other doctor. Currently the user has to select from the list or not enter a doctor. I am using Excel 2003.

I have a workbook with several drop down boxes and formulas already set up and working. I want to improve it though. My question is.... is there a formula that will make the drop down list change based on a cell value....

For example: If B6 equals vegetables then C6 equals list (potato, carrot, pea, etc.) If B6 equals fruit then C6 equals list (apple, banana, grape)

Data Validations - Multipale Lists Depending On Each Other

Jan 6, 2009

I have search the site for a possible solution for my problem. And that is: how to create multiple lists using validation – depending on each other.

The scenario is. I have a data sheet that contains a list of alien plant species. The species have different methods of treatments (some do have the same). Each treatment might have one or more herbicide products that can be used and with each herbicide a certain application mixture.
I have used validation to create the pick list of the plants, the next pick list should be the treatment for the selected plant species and the 3rd list the product and then last list the mixture.
All of these lists should only list the information that is relevant to the selected plant specie, in the first list.

Two Dropdown Lists Associated With One Set Of Assets

Jun 3, 2014

I'm trying to figure out how to make a spreadsheet where in one column a type of asset is entered through a drop down menu and then the next few columns are attributes - model, pattern, manufacturer, etc. - that would all have values entered through drop down menus populated based on the choice of 'type of asset' in the first column.

I can get a drop down menu for the 'type' column and a dependent drop down in the second column based on choice of 'type' using =INDIRECT(), but I do that by naming the dependent lists of models for each type after the types listed in the list of types. Once I've done that I can't name the lists of patterns after the types because those names are in use by the model lists. So how would I make multiple lists of attributes associate with the same list of types?

Link The Different Dropdown Lists

Feb 27, 2009

I have a work book that contains various sheets with different information.
I have two different categories in one of the sheets,1 which contains counties and the other containing districts.

I have done a validation for the county which allows me to pick a county from a drop down list which works fine.I would like to create a drop down list for the districts aswell such that when i select i.e southyorkshire from the counties dropdown list,the districts drop down list will bring only districts in southyorkshire,excluding all the other districsts.hopefully i'll like the same to apply to all other counties.

DropDown Lists Not Appearing

Dec 10, 2008

I have a workbook with several drop-down lists. The names for the lists are on a seperate sheet in the same workbook. I have used data-validation and allow list in all the cells with drop-downs. I have used =NAME in the source. I opened the workbook this afternoon for the first time in a couple of days and I am no longer able to select from a dropdown. I can type in the cells, but if I type something not included in the list, I get the "The value you have entered is not valid" error. So I feel like the validation is working on the cells, I'm just not able to select from a drop-down list. "In-Cell dropdown" is selected.

Dropdown Lists In A Cell

May 29, 2014

Im trying to create a spreadsheet which has a drop down list in a cell, then when a selection is made a predetermined dollar figure will be entered in the cell next to it.

For Example:

Cell A1 Drop down list I have 20 cities listed, If I select St. Louis, I want the cell next to it to populate with $250.

Every city has a different dollar amount tied to it. So any time I select a city I want the specified dollar amount to populate the cell next to it.

Dependent Dropdown Lists

Dec 28, 2006

Is there a way to get the dependent lists to correspond to the cell beside it without having to manually type in each cell name?

Lookup Or Dependent Dropdown Lists?

May 20, 2014

I'm trying to simplify a template we use regularly at work. On the front end page, the one that eventually gets turned into a PDF and sent to a customer, I have a selection of drop downs, which I am pretty comfortable with. I also have some other fields that are populated by vlookups, and again, I have no problem there. What I am struggling with is creating a second drop down list that only has options relative to the first drop-down list. From what I gathered by searching on this, I may have to change the format my data is in, note that I have a pretty basic knowledge of excel.

Master Data (from where I want all the drop downs to come from) - see attached screenshot.

Capture.JPG

So, on front end, I have a drop down that selects from column A. Beneath that there are two rows that auto-populate depending on what company was selected in the drop-down.
What I want is a second drop down list from D, E & F.

So, If I select ABC Limited in the drop down menu, the second drop down should only have John, Jim & Jane as options.

Is it possible to do this with the data in the format I have, or would I need to change the format? I have +/- 500 entries to do, so obviously I'd like to not change my format if possible.

Dashboard With 2 Validation Dropdown Lists?

Jul 22, 2014

I have a dashboard with 2 validation dropdown lists - 1 for Brand name (text) and one for month (mmm-yy) which go and run various pivots, etc.This works perfectly - except the dropdown list is so small its unreadable.

So I've tried a workaround using Combo boxes which I found here:

This does work, but when I select a month on the 2nd Combo Box, it is then displayed in number format eg, 41699. I've tried changing the format to mmm-yy but it keeps displaying as a number.

Is there any way I can make it display as mmm-yy?

Creating Dependent Dropdown Lists?

Sep 23, 2011

I am trying to get a listbox I created in from DataValidation to be dependent on another list.

For example, when I select Course 1 (a list item) from the Course List drop-down, I want the cost to auotmatically populate in the Cost drop-down (the other list).

How do I get this to happen? Here is the code I created in VB, and I am not sure if this is the right course of action:

Sub Automated()
Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "MATLAB"
If (Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "MATLAB") Then
Sheet1.Cells(2, 3) = "31"
End If
Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "INCA"
If (Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "INCA") Then
Sheet1.Cells(2, 3) = "41"
End If

[code]....

I don't want to use the user form, however from VB. I want to use the regular drop-down. The code seems to work, but, each list item in the drop-down is not pulling the data I want it to. I need to activate the drop-down as a click event somehow. It's just recognizing the cell A2 as a whole and not the individual list items. I want to each list item to be their own object, and to automatically populate the cell C2 with their cost when they are selected.

Drop Down Lists: How To Make Source From Different Worksheet

May 13, 2009

When creating a drop-down list using Validation, is there any way to make the source a different worksheet in the workbook? Right now when I click on Source and select my list, it will not allow me to go to another worksheet.

If I manually enter a reference to cells in another worksheet, such as 'PCP'!$A$2:$A$250 it only shows that cited reference, not the actual list.

Make Lists In Combobox (userform) Depend On Each Other

Jan 13, 2009

I have constructed a user form with a set of comboboxes containing a number of choices. However, the different alternatives depend on each other, and instead of having all the choices available in the second combobox I would like to only have the "correct" ones depending on the choice made in the earlier combobox.

For example;
---------------
A-B-C
Car-Blue-USA
Car-Red-USA
Truck-Green-Sweden
Truck-Blue-Sweden

If I choose Car in the first combobox, I would like to only have the choices [Blue, Red] available in the second combobox, not the full set of data [Blue,Red,Green] and so on. However, I have two problems construction this;

1) If I make the rowsource A1-A4 for the first combobox, I get the alternative [Car,Car,Truck,Truck], not [Car,Truck]. It is possible to come around this problem by making a unique list in addition to the linked list showed above, such as;........

How To Highlight Row Depending On Chosen Dropdown Value

Jun 25, 2013

I'm looking to use a drop-down to allow me to highlight a complete row depending on what I choose, each row is unique.

So if my drop-down is say 20 different words and I choose "Oil" I want it to look down the table and highlight the row that shows oil prices.

Example of column A might be as shown below (Starting in say A3).

(A3)Petrol
(A4)Wood
(A5)Oil
(A6)F/Fuel
(A7)Other

From my drop-down located in A1 I choose "Oil" I want it to select only row A5 and either highlight it or blank out the rest.

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.

Set Up Spreadsheet With Linked Dynamic Dropdown Lists?

Apr 24, 2014

I am trying to set up a spreadsheet with linked dynamic drop down lists, based on a table.Using the OFFSET function, I have managed to get this to work if the table is on the SAME sheet at the drop down lists. But I want to be able to put the drop down lists onto a different sheet, so that I can lock and hide the table.

I don't want to use the 'name based on the previous column' idea, as the table is large and will change weekly. the drop downs show all values, even duplicates, which I would like to get rid of.

Excel 2007 :: Conditional Dropdown Lists?

Mar 29, 2013

I'm using Excel 2007 and am trying to set up 3 columns of drop-down lists each dependent on the choice selected in the previous column's selection. It seems like it would be easy to figure out but I can't seem to do it.

I've already set up the arrays for the lists and "named" them but can't get the cell to be formatted automatically according to the previous columns selection.

Dependent Dropdown Lists And Conditional Formatting?

Jun 14, 2013

I have three drop-down boxes in 3 adjacent columns. Column 1 is free-choice, Columns 2 and 3 drop-downs are variable dependent on what is in Column 1. That works fine.

I have an issue with over-type but I can solve that with protection. Again fine.

BUT:

1. How do I make the user choose something i.e. not just leave the cell in column 2 or 3 blank by ignoring it (i.e. blank is an error but only after drop-down in column 1 is activated)

2. Also, if the user has completed the line (columns 1,2 and 3) and then changes column 1, columns 2 and 3 are now reading from the incorrect drop-down boxes (i.e. they are now in error but this is accepted and not flagged).

Dual Data Validation Dropdown Lists

Sep 1, 2009

I'm trying to create a cell with multiple dropdown lists in E4 depending on a value from another drop down list in B4. Both E4 dropdown lists are named cell ranges RV_MECHANISM and VALVE_OPERATING_MECHANISM_TYPE. I know how to do this in Data Validation using an IF formula, however, that's not quite "bullet proof" or "idiot proof" enough.

I'm attempting to create a macro to load only the appropriate dropdown list in E4 as called for by B4.

I recorded the Data Validation dropdown lists using the macro recorder, then searched through all appropriate posts I could find at MrExcel and attempted to write the appropriate macro code as follows;

Sub RVorMECHTYPE()
With Selection.Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList
If Range("$B$4").Value = "RV" Then
ValList.RV_MECHANISM
Else
ValList.VALVE_OPERATING_MECHANISM_TYPE
End With

Range("E4").Select

End If
End Sub

Compile error: End With without With

That's as close as I can get ... can one of you kind souls direct my macro coding paths and offer up the correct code for accomplishing this task.

Applying Certain Formulas Depending On Dropdown Selection

Dec 6, 2013

Any way to apply a formula to a cell depending on what choice is made from a drop down box in a cell that it refers to.

Hypothetically:

I have a drop down box in A1 with 2 options: Cookie Making Costs - or - Cake Making Costs
In cells A3 through A10, I have cells with the costs for all the ingredients (and B3 through B10 for cake ingredients).
If I select Cookie Making Costs, I would like B1 to apply a formula that sums up all the costs associated with making cookies "=sum(A3:A10)"
If I select Cake Making Costs, I would like B1 to apply the sum of the cake ingredients "=sum(B3:B10)"
