ive done some data validation and created a drop down list but what im trying to do is
once i have selected what i want from the drop down list i would like a picture to appear next to it automatically
ie
if i select kettle it will show a pic of a kettle
I've created a name range and i'm now trying to link this to a series of pics
For example
Sheet 1 I have in A1 the drop down box (to be about 50 long)
Sheet 2 I have all pictures named as per the list in sheet 1 e.g
Named dropdown list
Apple
Banana
Pear
Corresponding pictures named
Apple
Banana
Pear
What I am trying to achieve is when "apple" is picked from the dropdown list that the "apple appears say in C1 on sheet 1
PS. Forumula based such as IF or Index etc ican't use VBA or macros yet !!!!!
I am trying to link 'Combo boxes' in Excel 2007 (not using code as the guy in the other thread is). Ie In the first drop down box you choose the type of cement, then in the second drop down box, different mixes of cement can be chosen DEPENDING on your choice of cement in the first.
to make a "Set" of drop down list that change from the result of the previous list so it would go along as
race - ship type - ship list

I have created two workbooks, one which is a master price list (MasterPriceList.xls) and another which is a pricing sheet template that will be used to calculate many different products (Pricing.xls)
I have used a VLOOKUP across the workbooks (thanks to those who helped me with that) but I cannot get a drop list to work across two worksheets. When I enter the source in the "refers to" box, I get a notice saying that you can't use data validation across two workbooks. However, this was the same error message I got when I was incorrectly inserting the reference source for the VLOOKUP function, so I don't believe it Also, there are several tutorials on the web that say this can be done. However, none of them seem to work for me.
I cannot open the Data Validation box and get to the other open worksheet, so I can highlight the area I want, with the range I want to drop down. Until I close the data validation box, I cannot get out of that sheet. I have used cell ranges as well as named ranges.
When I type in a name, I get only the text I entered in the source reference box appearing on the sheet, i.e., the drop down box will only show "=C:Documents And SettingsAllenMy Documents, etc" it doesn't seem to recognize it as a source.
In the attached spreadsheet NamesReference.xls, cell A1 of Initial Quality worksheet has a drop down that apparently references the Namelist? "FieldeList" which is on the List worksheet, cells A1-A14. I understand how to set up the FieldeList Nameslist, but by examining cell A1 of the Initial Quality worksheet, how can you determine that this reference exists, or how do you establish such references to Namelists, with the drop-down arrows?

Allow user to use a drop down list and pick the appropriate entry, then have another drop down list in the adjacent cell that only contains items that correspond to what the first drop down entry was (i.e. company name in first drop down box, adjacent cell drop down list only contains parts made for that company). Then I would like the next column to contain the pricing of the item that was chosen in the previous cell's drop down box. Ideally, this cell would be populated automatically depending on the part chosen for the company. I am trying to create a log of parts shipped and total amount shipped.
I am building a form and want to display (or activate) a drop down list only when an radio button is active. I have 4 radio buttons and want to link to to 4 different drop downs. But only have the drop downs active if the button is clicked.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have 2 drop down lists made, but I want to have one linked to the other
one.
For example the first list has types of wood in it.
Bamboo
Maple
Oak
The 2nd one has pricing in it.
1.25
2.50
3.50
If I click on Bamboo - I want the 2nd list to auto generate 3.50. Can that
be done?
I made drop down form controls that specify yes/no as to whether I have the documents I need for a project- when I selected yes the same row will turn grey. Each form control is set to move/resize with its cell, so it stays on top of the cell. I have the drop down form set to cell link to the cell below it in the form control settings. So it would be over cell A1 and the value of 0/1/2/ would be entered into A1. However whenever I copy the cell/row, the new form control drop down does not update its cell link by relative positioning, the new cell link is also A1 – thus both drop downs are linked together. I do NOT put absolute referencing $A$1 so I don’t know why the new copied forms don’t update and point to B1?
Why doesn’t my drop down menu update its cell link position when I copy and paste the cell it is attached to? Can form controls update their cell links via relative references (that is without the $$)?
I have 6 worksheets that are identical cosmetically. Each has the same drop down box list with the same name (dropdown1), however the cell link on each sheet is different. (ie. sheet1 dropdown1 cell link refers to a sheet ' lookup' cell $K$1, sheet2 dropdown1 cell link refers to sheet 'lookup' cell $K$2, etc.) I have the same command button in each sheet that performs the same task so I wanted to keep one module for all 6. Problem is I set a variable to the cell link in the code, and this has to be changed.
DropDownValue = Sheets("Lookup").Range("K1").Value
Is there any way I can set this variable using a property of the drop down list?
DropDownValue = dropdown1.celllink
I don't want to create 5 more duplicate modules just to change this one bit of code (I only use it this time in the code!). If there is no way to get the cell link value of the drop down, could I possibly put a worksheet change event on the lookup sheet to populate a certain static cell with the value of the last cell change?
I have an workbook with pictures that are linked to external picture files, and they are placed in the workbook via macro. When I email the file to another computer and open it, the pics do not display and show an error:
The linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted, Verify that the link points to the correct file and location.
I would like to be able to save the workbook with the pictures in them (without having to archive them) so that I can open it and see them on another machine.
I'm trying to categorise a load of expenses against their appropriate budget and sub-budgets. I've got all the budget subcategories in separate dynamic named lists each headed by the main budget name. I want to be able to select the main budget name e.g. marketing or sales etc and then see, in the next column over, only the appropriate subcategories to select from e.g pick the appropriate dynamic list (I've used dynamic lists so I have some flexibility to add new categories at a leter date).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if there is a way of linking to cells by looking up part of the link in another cell. E.g.In Sheet1, cell A1, i have some data that I want link to from Sheet2. Normally I'd do that by using "=Sheet1!A1" in the cell in Sheet2.
But I'd like to lookup the "A1" part of the link from two different cells in Sheet 2. Something like: =Sheet1!(Text from B1 in Sheet2 AND Text from A2 in Sheet2)
or: =Sheet1!(Sheet2!B1&Sheet2!A2). So that if Sheet2!B1 would contain an "A", and Sheet2!A2 would contain a "1" the resulting link would be the correct "=Sheet1!A1"
I have two worksheets, one with detail monthly information and one with YTD information. So let's say the three numbers I want to capture in the YTD sheet are in columns B, G and I on the monthly sheet. January's data might be in B5, G5 and I5. February's data is in B12, G12 and I12 and so on.
On the YTD sheet in cell C2 I link to Monthly!B5 and in C3 I link to Monthly!B12 so cells C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet show the monthly totals from column B on the detail sheet. On the YTD sheet, cells C20 to C31 show the monthly totals from column G on the monthly sheet, so cells G5, G12, etc. And finally, cells C40 to C51 on the YTD sheet show monthly totals form column I on the monthly sheet.
In the past I've always created all these links manually. After creating the links in C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet, is there a way to use a formula in C21 that uses the link in C2 to create a link for G5?
what its called when you have drop down menus that correspond with other drop down menus.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHere is what I'm trying to do:
I have 4 sheets:
1 called main
1 called states
1 called counties
1 called people
On "main" I have 1 drop down box and 1 cell:
the drop down lists the states from "states" sheet
the cell, which i would like to have as a drop down is supposed to be listing the counties in the state selected from the 1st drop down. right now it is setting the value to TRUE for testing purposes.
then when the county is selected, it will display the people in that county listed in "people". So far I can only get the 1st drop down to list the states. that's the easy part. i need to getting the counties to list in another drop down based on what state is selected.
Im a fairly basic VBA user who has just purchased the code for J-Walk's Enhanced Data Form.
On other threads in this forum I have noticed a lot of people asking how to make the contents of one drop-down box dependant on the selection in another. I am trying to do the same thing but with the criteria section of the EDF form.
Is this possible? What does give me hope is that a simple Autofilter - whilst not as aesthetically pleasing, does the job well.
Currently I have columns fixed or assigned to the names of insurance providers/companies.
In each column below the name of the Insurance Company, a combobox containing the plans that company offers. Choose a plan, and the rest of the column is filled in using vlookup.
Now to save space, IE opposed to having 13-15 columns one assigned to each Insurance Company/Provider. I am looking to have only 3-5 columns with a first initial combobox in which one chooses the Name of the Company/Provider, and in turn populate the original combobox and vlookup functionality I already have built in.
Here is an example of what I am working with.

I have grouping setup in my excel spread sheet.
1. I added pictures(print screen-->mspaint-->cut existing part of the image-->paste into excel. In excel they are called "Pictures 01 thru Picture X" with the pull points all around.
2. I located them in specific cells of the grouped type with the (-) sign appears so the group of cells are in use
3. When I close the Group(+) of cells all the pictures are jumbled above the closed cells.
Question: Is there away to keep these pictures within those cells when closing the group, so they will not been see as well?
is you had two ratings, one bad, one good, could you make a differant picture show up for the differant ratings using an IF function or simmiler fuctions (So like if a 'dance rating' is bad if it is under 13 and is good over 13 then have a picture of John Travolta for good and a picture of a hippo for bad as a bit of a joke on a identinty card sort of thing)?
I know quite alot about exel and have tried to make my formular but as it is saved on the school server i can not acsess it until tomorrow but i will try and make that work and post it if it dose
Is there a way to write code to delete all the pictures on a worksheet called "Pictures"?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have imported and deleted several pictures into my worksheet. I want to re- name or re-order my pictures. Right now, a new pictures is name "picture 4" when there might only be two pictures in the sheet.

since my pc has updated to ie7 all pictures that I open via hyperlinks from excel now open in and internet explorer window instead of windows picture & fax viewer as JPEG's are set to.
If I open the JPEG files directly they open with the correct program.
I'm sure it must be a setting somewhere but I cant find it.
Is it possible to show pictures with a combo box instead of using data validation list.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet into which have been imported a number of pictures, The pictures have all been imported and sized to appear to fit into cells. I have a program which deletes all of the pictures in one go but I would like to be able to just delete all those in one row.

What I have tried is:
I am absolutely new to visual basic thing but have a good idea of what I am doing in excel. I have seen some code to delete pics but can't figure out what it is that I am suppose to do. What I am doing is coping and pasting something from the internet. I do not need any of the pics that are pasted into the worksheet and am tired of deleting them individualy.
