Linking Pulldown Menus With Associated Date
Sep 16, 2009
1) When creating a pull down menu using the "data/validation/settings/list etc", is it possible to have a continious list from the pull down menu even if your range of inputs have blank cells between them?
2) How can you then link a selection made in one column with the associated data in another column(s)? i.e. a spreadsheet which has a column with the number of legs an animal has. The next column has the name of the animal(s) associated with that number. so selecting 4 from the pull down menu would then display, dog, cat, elephant etc in the adjacent column.

I have the following scenario: I have a pulldown list with 4 categories in "B3". They are VEG, FRUITS, CARS, and TV. See attached file. each category has its own products as shown below:
VEG FRUITCARSTV
CELERI APPLEHONDASONY
EGGPLANTORANGENISSANSHARP
BROCOLI PEACHTOYOTASAMSUNG
CARROT PEARFORDPANASONIC
What I would like is when I select VEG from the pulldown, then Celeri, eggplant, brocoli and carrot appears in a pulldown in C3. And if I select Cars from the pulldown of B3 then Honda, Nissan toyota and ford appears in the pulldown of C3.

I am using the following code to create a custom command menu.
Sub AddMenus()
Dim cMenu1 As CommandBarControl
Dim cbMainMenuBar As CommandBar
Dim iHelpMenu As Integer
Dim cbcCustomMenu As CommandBarControl
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("&New Menu").Delete
On Error Goto 0
Set cbMainMenuBar = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")..........................
I want to add a new button control at the bottom of the menu underneath the holiday control but it keeps adding it on the sub menu, which leads off the holiday button control. I want the menu to look like this.
Open Net 2 Access
Add Employee
Edit Employee
Delete Employee
Holidays (3 options on sub menu)
*New Control

From this link: [url]
there is some clever code to create a customized menu in a dynamic Add-Ins section of the Excel ribbon; this section disappears when the workbook is deactivated and re-appears when it is activated. The custom menu has 2 main items each of which can launch a macro. There is also a 3rd main item called "Next Menu" which cascades nicely to a sub-menu. That sub-menu can have several items of its own. Very cool code.
However, I am trying to add a 4th item in the main menu, say, "Next Menu2" which also cascades to a sub-menu. The problem I'm having is when I try to replicate this code to accomplish this, "Next Menu2" appears in the sub-menu of "Next Menu", rather than as a separate (4th) main item below "Next Menu".
I believe there was another post (not sure of the date, but has since expired) which asked basically the same question as mine. There was a reply with code saying "This should work" but when I tried it, it didn't help.

I want to create a submenu to an already existing user defined menu.
After creating and saving the sub menu using Tools ->Customize ,it works fine. But when
I reopen the Excel sheet it is not found.
I could not find any macro related to the original User menu.Also this menu gets displayed after the AUTO OPen macro in my excel has worked. This menu gets displayed for only that workbook and not for others.
I have been trying to find out a way to create Sub menu for that ,but could not?

The worksheet is basically a sales funnel and I want to use a drop down menu selection in ever row of column Z to update the relevant cell, based on the selection, in the same row, column Q to Y, with a date stamp which will then not change as the drop down is progressively changed to suit the relevant stage of the job.

I create the billing data for some key accounts and I was asked to build a summary sheet that brought all of them into one place so that the billing department didn't have to open each individual spreadsheet each month to verify their info to mine. What I would like to accomplish is to stay current according to today's date.
So if it's March, 10, 2014, I need to update the spreadsheet data according to the February 2014 spreadsheet a Key Account #1. Then in April, I need it to look for the new March 2014 spreadsheet. I'm assuming I can use an =IF(OR(... formula for this, but I'm just not sure how to get the date thing sorted out.
As far as naming of the the Key Accounts billing spreadsheets, they go something like 0214 "KeyAcct #1".xlsx. Then the new one will be 0314 "KeyAcct #1".xlsx. Even tho the next months billing file isn't created, the formula should be able to check against the date and know when to look for the new one.

I am trying to link a range of cells from one sheet that contain various dates to another sheet in the same workbook. Some of the cells are empty. I select the source cells (say, F8-F19), copy, select target worksheet, Paste Special (and select Paste Link button). Target cells display accurate date information that updates as source cells are changed, however, any source cells that were blank now read 1-Jan-04. I have checked to ensure that all source/target cells have the same formatting (Number-Date).
When trying to Paste Special values and/or number formats only, the option to Paste Link is no longer available. How can I link the cells so that blank source cells result in blank target cells? Issue seems similar to: http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...worksheet.html

Sheet 1 contains a column titled "name" and 6 columns to the right of name titled "sat", "sun", "mon"........ the col titled name is not the first col in the work sheet.
In each row I enter the guest name under the name col and I enter a room number (example: 1A, 1B, 2A, etc...) in the column to the right that coresponds with the day the guest will be staying.
Name Sat Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri
Mr. Smith 1A 1A 1A 1A
Mr. Jones 3B 3B 3B
Ms. Tiller 4A 4A 4A 4A 4A 4A 4A
Sheet 2 is in the same workbook and looks something like this:
Room # Sat Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri
1A
1B
2A
2B
3A
3B
I want it to look at sheet 1 and populate the date columns with the guest name from sheet 1
I tried this formula =IF('Sheet1'!G:G="1A",'Sheet1!$F:$F,"Available")
It seems to work on the first row but I have problems with any rows below that. Basically it acts like there is no data in the rows below.... I think the fact that the names on sheet 1 are not alphabetical is creating part of my problem? I tried a lookup formula but it seems like it has to be the first column in the worksheet and it has to be alphabetical to work like that.

User selects option 1

However:
If user selects option 2 from A1
Cell B1 will now have a drop down menu with options X,Y,Z

Having recently started to get involved in Visual Basic I have managed to write some code that has removed all of my menus except for File and Help. In a blind panic I deleted what I think was the offending VB code in a vain attempt to return the menus. This didn't work. I am now stumped.
Also, I managed to change the way the Cell selection works when I press Return. When I press Return, Excel now selects the cell to the right of the one I was in rather than the one below it. Is there a way I can change this back?

I have a workbook which uses the code below to create a new menu upon opening. I have now used this same code in a second workbook to create a different menu. both work OK on their own However if by chance both workbooks are opened at the same time only one menu is shown. Is there a way I can change one of these to create a second menu if the first one is already there?

I would like to make a form where the user has to select from a drop down list several options, and that depending on the pick the drop down list below shows different options. example: For the question "what food do you want to eat?" you can select pasta, pizza or dessert.
Now if that person pics dessert, the 2nd drop down menu should shom him again a number of desserts he has to pick. And again below another one depending on what he chose.

Ok, so I have this neat little macro that on right-click brings up a custom context menu that displays a few different options - for example one such function is simply copying the selected cell content to a (specific) different sheet. It is a very useful feature in the context I am normally using it to merge information from different locations in a new structure (well, I think this is irrelevant, but just letting you know basically what I am doing).
Anyhow, to implement the custom context menu, I am using events in the ThisWorkbook object, namely Activate to add context menu entries and DeActivate to remove them if switching workbook.
Now, if I receive any workbook from someone else, I'd like to add this feature to get the custom context menu easily without having to copy the received workbook into a new workbook (it's a bit of a hassle, and ideally, if the received workbook has any other macros, this function could just be merged). I was thinking using an add-in to achieve this, but using the ThisWorkbook events in the add-in doesn't trigger the events (I guess because the hidden workbook in the add-in is never "Activated" or "DeActivated").

I am trying to graduate out of the crayon age of menus on a worksheet, to using a User Form Menu. Problem is, I don't understand how they work. I've created a test program using a simple form with an option button, a combo button, and a command button. The goal is if the option button is true, it places the color selected in the combo button on the worksheet. Here is my code, what am I missing to make it work?
Corrected code from my original request
Module 1
Public ClrCd As Integer
Sub OpenForm1()
UsrFrm1.Show
End Sub

I have the following fields:
Manufacturer:System:Part Number:Material Description:
I want to make each field a "pulldown menu".
For simplicity, lets say I have three Manufacturers "A", "B" & "C"
Each Manufacturer has three systems "1", "2" & "3"
Each System has 100 parts "1-001" thru "1-100", "2-001" thru "2-100" & "3-001" thru "3-100". Each part has a corresponding description such as "Horizontal", "Vertical", "cover", etc...
I need to keep all of the manufacturers, systems, parts and descriptions in one excel workbook. I have no preference to how that information is built (tabular, list, etc..) I would like the workbook in which i want the fields above to be separate, so I only have to keep updating one master file that all of our takeoff sheets would be linked to.
when I select a manufacturer, I only want the available systems for that manufacturer to show up in the next pull down menu, then for that system I select I only want the available parts for that system to show up in the next menu. the descriptions need to correlate with the parts I select.

There was an article in ozgrid new about excel custom toolbars (<<hover over). The article addressed making the custom menu option available in one workbook with Private Sub Worksheet modules as follows
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls _
("My Menu").Enabled = True
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls _
("My Menu").Enabled = False
End Sub
How do you get the first module to run apon opening the workbook and the second module to run when you close the workbook.

I am compiling questionnaires in Excel and need to constrain the answers. I've successfully used validate, list and directed it to a list (containing, for example, 'USB', 'Firewire', 'SCSI'. When I first set this up, the drop down menu appeared (and the prompt message I had created). After I copied the first worksheet to use as the base for my next questionnaire, the drop down menu disappeared, although the prompt still shows and the validation still works.
Have I missed something fundamental?
I've tried creating one on a brand new workbook and copying the worksheet and it seems to function correctly. Why has my drop down menu vanished???

I have a 'diet diary' that I have built in excel that has many of the common meals I eat and details calories, carbohydrates, fats, etc and I use it to keep track of what I have eaten in the day.
However, one of the features is that on the front sheet I have lots of drop down menus that I select the different things (example, milk, banana, spaghetti bolognese) which in that puts in the nutritional info. However, each day I have different numbers of items to put in so I have to change the slots that no longer have an item in back to the default value so that it doesn't add calories. What would be ideal is if I could highlight a bunch of boxes at once and then make them all select the 'no-item' option in the drop down box simultaneously rather than selecting them all individually.

What I would like to do is use a drop down list Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 etc and then be able to use whatever is selected to reference a value in another cell.
Excuse my ignorance but something like Cell 1 * (If Type 1 from the list is selected use figure in Cell 3, If Type 2 from the list is selected use figure in Cell 4..........) etc etc

We are currently on Office 2000, but our IT group are considering a company wide switch to 2007. I've played around with it just briefly, but noticed that it is night and day difference in both look and feel.
We use Hyperion Essbase, and have a custome built planning tool that utilizes Excel 2000, enhaced with a few thousand lines of VBA coding. One of the main purposes of the VBA code, is to control the Excel menus and replace with custom built menus that are specific to our Planning System.
Does anyone have any idea if VBA controlled custom menus from Excel 2000 will even work in 2007? Will I have to do complete rewrite?
One last question, If you are running 2007, is there a transition function (simlar) to prior versions, where you make the menus look like the legacy version?
