Increase Number Of Items Shown In Validation List
Dec 22, 2012Can you increase the number of fields shown in the list so that you don't have to scroll through the entire list?

View 2 RepliesI having been looking at ways of increasing the width of a data validation list (drop-down) to accommodate items longer than the width of the target column. I found a solution here http://puremis.net/excel/code/068.shtml
The demonstration seems to do exactly what I require. However the code supplied does not work for some reason. I have run the code in debug to see what it is doing and the code runs until it gets to the line
Set objDic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
from here it just jumps to the end of the procedure. Mousing over objDic says ObjDic = Nothing.
I am getting a bit out of my depth here - anyone know why objDic is not being assigned a value and the procedure bombing out from here.
I have a cell "project titles" entered in sheet1 that populates into sheet 2 - column "Project titles".
I need to keep the values in this column unique. So can I create a data validation such a way that I won't be able to enter values into this cell that are already on the list. This way I can avoid entering duplicates.
I'm attempting to get the sum for an entire row when one particular option is selected from a data list. I'd like to get a numerical total for each cell in the row that has "REQ" selected from the list.
The range of cells that could contain "REQ" are D2:BA2. I'd like the total number of "REQ"s to be listed in A2. And the source for "REQ" is BB2.
=COUNTIF(D2:BA2,"*REQ*")*SUM(D2:BA2)
This doesn't give me an error but the value remains at 0 in A2 when some cells do have "REQ" selected.
I came across these two threads but I still couldn't get it going.

Sum a range if a cell contains a text string
I have a user form named "final report" worksheet which contains 12 cells (B14:18,B19,C19,B38:39,E34:35 and C46) with dropdown list validation. These cells are noncontiguous. The corresponding lists are on the other worksheet--"MyLists". The list are in adjacent 12 columns on that sheet.They begin from cell A1 without any header. I have named them as dynamic ranges. This is-- not exactly connected to my query but still -- I coded the "MyLists" worksheet so that when I delete or add the names in the list, the empty cells shift up or down accordingly in a sorted manner in the list.Here is that
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Columns(Target.Column).Sort Key1:=Cells(1, Target.Column), _
Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
End Sub
to code the "final report" worksheet so that instead of just selecting from the dropdown list, I can type a new entry in any of those 12 cells and the "MyLists" worksheet will get updated in the respective columns simultaneously.
I have created a DAta Validation List and it only select one item. I want it to select as many items that is on the list but i can't get it to work for my main worksheet I am working on. I can't figure out why I can't get it to work for the work sheet "This Don't" but it works for the worksheet "This Works" why and how I can change it so both Reason (Column F and H can) select mutliple items on there.

When i emailed her to ask her how she did this, she kept telling me to go to her website and i was supose to figure it out on my own. I am trying to do a start up construction company. the link to her site is as follows Select Multiple Items from Excel Data Validation List - YouTube the idea of what i want to do, is how she clicks on a word and it follows in the coloumn to the right going down. This is what i need to know how to do. It is probably pretty elementary to many of you. But i build, i know how to read prints, to cut footprints for new homes etc. But when it comes to excel i am so green.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI basically have lots of lists of 12 cells. how ever some of those lists contain errors (e.g instead of having 12 numbers it will only have 10)
so instead of doing =sum(a1:a12)/12 i want to divide by the amount of numbers in that area in this case 10 so i can get an average.
Here's my problem. In column B, i wish to allow users to choose 15 items for which i have created a list using validation. Each cell in the range B1 to B15 will contain one item. I have managed to allow them to select only 15 items by locking the other cells and allowing only the range B1 to B15.
However, i need prevent users from entering more than 5 identical items from the list. They can only choose a same item up to a maximum of 5 times.
Would you guys have an idea of how i can get around this problem? I really need to prevent them from entering the same item from the list more than 5 times and not only warn them.
The setup of my worksheet looks like this:
Excel 2010ABCDEFG1Tch grpTchr Split27B-MA5AWAWAWAWAWAW37B-MA4CB1,JDCB1,JDJD,CB1MMF,JDMMF,JDMMF,JD47B-MA3SXGSXGSZBSZBSZBSZBTchGrps
A great chance to use the HTML Maker for the first time!
What I would like to do here is show how many of each value there is in the range.
So for 7B-MA5, it would say 6. For 7B-MA4, it would be 2 / 1 / 3, since there are 3 unique values and their counts respectively. Finally for 7B-MA3 it would say 3 / 3
A formula option would be great but I'll also take a macro option since it is a macro that generates these lists in the first place, so I could just add the new code to the end of it.
I have 2 sheets;
Sheet1 (Also named "TicketNames") and Sheet 2 ("Day1").
On TicketNames I have 4 Columns the first 3 columns with about 5 names per columns.
Each list of five are given a specific Name ("One","Two","Three"). The last column is just
a list for Day1 dropdown menu. (3 names, "One", "Two", "Three").
On Day1, I have a validation list on A1 which will allow the user to select either ("One, Two or Three").
On B1, another dropdown menu, but it will only show the items related to the selection they made on A1.
My problem is that on A1, instead of having "One" show up, I want it to say "$1" for One dollar. But because it is a number not a text it won't allow me to use a validation list using this.
I'm using Excel 2007
I am trying to setup a number of cells with a validation list allowing "Yes" or "". I would like the cell value to equal 1 when "Yes" is selected. Is this possible without VBA?
The reason for this is because I want to set up conditional formatting with the tick, cross, exclamation mark icon set (With a tick appearing for "Yes"), but this conditional formatting only works with numerical values.
I have the results of a "IF" formula. I want that number to be shown as currency and allow it to be part of a "sum" formal. Is this possible?

I'm making a line diagram, showing how a value changes over time. My data is measured every 30 min, which results in a mess when it's plotted over a month.
How do I limit the number of times shown on the x-axis, for instance so that only the date (every 24 hours) is shown?
I am trying to do 2 things involving data validation. 1) Count the number of entries in a data validation dropdown list and display a result. 2) Use an If statement to pull the formatting from a cell into another cell.
An example would be if Cell A1="A", then show the drop down list associated with cell or sheet "!ryanB2". Alternatively, I would like to also display the number of entries in the drop down list.
I am wanting to create a list where I can select multiple items within that list and then print only those selected items. I have created something similar thru data validation, but I can't get it to print.
In addition, I would like to be able to subdivide the list into multiple categories, then select items from these multiple categories and print them.
When inserting "1" in the cell under soup, i was thinking it will bring up a list of its ingredients and how much of that ingredient. The values are listed in the same spread sheet below.
The amount of the ingredient is in D50 (80grams) and the item type next to it in E50(onion)
Is it possible to put in "1" soup then it displays all the items in both those cells range example(D50-E50 to D60-E60)?
Is it possible to put the value "2" in soup and it shows double the measurements? example (160grams) (onion)
I know how to use array formulae to create a unique list, i.e.{=INDEX($G$1:$G$760,SMALL(IF(ROW($G$1:$G$760)=MATCH($G$1:$G$760,$G$1:$G$760,0),ROW($G$1:$G$760)),ROW()))}
however this is giving all the unique items from column G and I only want the unique items that have a non-zero value in column H as well. This would be the sumif of all instances that would have to be zero. I've tried to crack it and I've tried to search for solutions but so far no joy.

View 10 Replies View Relatedwhat i need is a macro to run when I print a form. I am making a job card with a unique number on it ie: 100. when I print the form, I then need the 100 to change to 101 and so on. I cant work this one out.
EDIT - Ive attached my work in progress. It is for a computer repair shop. I have a few macros in there as I need to email a copy of the workbook too.
when you open the workbook, you will see the job number in red. I just need a macro tht will increase that number +1 every time it runs. I also need the email macro to rename the workbook to the customer name input in cell B4 - but I think im best to post this request in a new thread?
I have data to find standard deviation from a1:a5
So use a formulae to do the same.
I want to increase range automatically when i put a number in a6 and so on.
in cell A1 I have a ref no. eg aa/01/bb
in cell A2 I have a ref no. eg aa/02/bb
only the middle number increases in the reference each time eg: /01/
is there a formula that can achieve this or am i doomed to manual input, I have made a few attempts but cannot work it out.
I've built a spreadsheet that accurately displays my company's price list. However, from time to time, there are increases and/decreases, by percentages. I would like to know how I can build a formula that would allow me to quickly update the pricesheets by the appropriate percentage, without having to manually do so, one cell at a time.
View 2 Replies View Related writing a formula for the situation below,
In column "A1" i have the formula =C8. I now need to copy this formula across to column "B1" to get =C9 and also copy it across to column "C1" to read =C10.
So the row number should be increasing by 1 and the column remanin constant.
I need to be able to select a certain number (from, say, 1-20) from a drop down menu, which will decide a number of rows (filled with data) on the next sheet. As I prefer not to give anyone the sheet I'm actually working on I made a quick look-a-like which might explain this better.
A and B are different scenarios, with different values in the fake drop-down menu I made. Just to pass on the understanding of what I want the values to do. If putting a drop-down menu there is troublesome, then I can live without them. But entering a certain value in the field and getting that number of rows for a certain product is what I need. I tried searching for a function/macro to use for this, but I dont know what exactly to look for. Name, etc

I am trying to write a program that needs to select a different cell everytime it is ran. For example, this month when it runs I need it to select cell BL137. Next time it is ran it will need to select cell BL138. Month after BL139. The cell it selects will always be in the same column (column BL) and the cell number always increases by the same amount (1).
