firstly in cell b2 i have to select a quoted time
then in b3 i have to select a type
so dependant on what is in these cells
should return answers in cells e2:e5
ie
if i select1-3 weeks in b2 and s/o in b3 it should then look up 2 in the yellow cells and return the answers day1 day3 day8 and day14 in cells e2:e5
Situation:
I have two drop down lists 1) Country and 2) States/province
Country has list: [US, Canada]
If "US" is selected, [Arizona ,Florida, NewYork] is listed in the 2nd drop down list
If "Canada" is selected, [Alberta, Ontario, Quebec] is listed in the 2nd drop down list
Scenario:
First, I select "US" and choose the states to "Florida"
Next I change the country to "Canada" and forgot to choose province
Then, the 2nd dropdown list is changed to [Alberta, Ontario, Quebec],
BUT the current value is still "Florida"
Probem:
Now I have "Canada" and "Florida" selected in the sheet
Question:
If the primary list is changed, can I make the 2nd drop down list to show a default value (e.g. blank or the first entry i.e. Alberta)?
Is there any chance someone could post an example file for this? I cannot figure out how to set it up.

Using the Contextures web site [url="http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html#TwoWord"] I can get part of the problem to work but when I try to add a third dropdown i get lost. Attached is a sample of the workbook.
I've created a dependent list in Excel using Data validation. The first list is independent and the second list depends on the first list. I'm facing one problem in this. After selecting a element in first list and corresponding element in second list, if I want to change the first list again, I can go and change the value. But the value in the second list remains the same. I want the second list to be empty when I' selecting the first list again. How can I do this?

how to make make cell D4 dependent on the value in cell D3. So if cell D3 = 10 (it's max), then cell D4 could equal 0-10. I want to use this in conjunction with Solver so that D4 is a variable, but can't be greater than zero until D3 is maxed out. I've already tried different formulas, but I'm not very good at writing them and data validation didn't seem to work either.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFirstly I have these 12 values as in the attached excel sheet (in the order: FY09, FY09Q4, FY09H1, FY09H2, FY10, FY10Q1, FY10Q2, FY10Q3, FY10Q4, FY10H1, FY10H2, FY11Q1) to be selected as Start Date and End Date. The Limitation on Start and End Date is that the End Date cannot be smaller than Start Date (for e.g.: If start Date is FY09Q4 the End Date can be FY09Q4 and above but not FY09). Now I have a separate set of Initiatives/Objectives for each time period (each Initiatives are marked in excel sheet 2) and Initiatives depend upon Start Date Selected so once Start Date is selected only the related List of Initiatives should be published.
Now the Validation and Naming I have used is not allowing me to use a list name as “FY09” and “FY10” as they are cell references in the Workbook. But I cannot also change the name to something as FY_09 as the data that would be there in the Template will finally be used without editing for upload to an application.
I have been searching on this for a little while now but have not been able to find a solution to my problem. I have been asked to create a series of dependent dropdown lists using excel so that we can use these for inventory imports into a asset system. The catch on this is that nobody here really has any idea on how to make these dependent lists reference each other correctly. The reason for that is because the fields all have spaces in them and I do not know how to get a list name with a space in it or to create the proper translation for it. An example of this would be something like what I have written in below ....

I thought if i renamed my list validation to "Yes" and labelled "n/a" as "No", then using =INDIRECT(A1) as my list validation would do the trick.

I would like to have a combobox loaded with non duplicated values of column 1 of the listbox. When "~Caulking~" is selected from the combobox. The listbox is to display only the "~Caulking~"products and their description. And having a value of "~All Items~" placed into the combobox will display All products in the listbox.
The sheet that will contain the raw data source can/will have items added to inceacing the row count. Also the sheet will be left in an unknown sort by column state. I thought of taking the raw data source and copying it to a new sheet and splitting the data into various columns, Eg 1 column for "~Caulking~" another for "~All Items~"... and then removing the sheet on userfrom completion. Or possably using collections or scripting dictonary or anythink that works well.
I'm trying to set up a consolidated spreadsheet with a number of tabs and a master sheet to work on.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet that I'm trying to fill with data. There's a lot going on in the sheet, but 1 really useful thing I could incorporate is a running count.
Explanation: I have about 2000 rows of data at the moment.
A row would be finished if it's column J,K,L,M,N & O have data (text) in ALL of them; IE 6 cells of data in order for it to be complete.
So, a running total. If say 200 rows have data in J to O (all 6 cells) the count would show 200. My rows of data start from Row 5. I'd like to add the formula to cell N2.
In Excel it's possible to create a link dependent of a cell.
Example
='C:UsersAMDesktop[" & C9 & "]Sheet1'!$B$3

I have been able to use the previous information to create dependent drop down lists but I have been unable to apply the settings to entire columns versus just one cell.
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?
I am trying to put together two combo boxes, Combo1 and Combo2, the content of Combo2 will depend on the selection made in Combo1, for example Combo1 will have 10 items, once an item is selected Combo2 will have different sub selections relating to that item. I know you can do this via Validation, but the problem with that I have about 4000 options in the combo1 and about 60000 in the second, here is the structure of my data:
First Option /Second Option
Option1_____1.1
Option1_____ 1.2
Option1_____ 1.3
Option2_____ 2.1
Option2_____ 2.2
Option2_____ 2.3
Option3_____ 3.1
Option3_____ 3.2
Option3_____ 3.3
My ultimate final result should look like this, two drop down menus once Option1 is selected second drop down form should display these options:
Option1 /_____ 1.1
____________ 1.2
____________ 1.3
see attachment for complete clarity

I have a spread sheet which tracks work we do on certain items. These items (about 200 of them) consist of a 3 or 4 number tracking code (they are all 4 numbers, but some have leading 0's.) This tracking code is entered into Column B and when we cross reference the number to a chart we have we can determine if item is either, "model A," or, "model B."
I want to get rid of that cross reference chart, or rather, I want excel to cross reference for me and automatically fill A or B into Column C, right next to the tracking code.
Is this possible without VBA? It seems like it may be something simple, but i've poked around and have done nothing but make a mess.
I created a spreadsheet with a list of cities and attractions in those cities. I want an attraction drop-down menu (cell validation) to be dependent on the city that’s listed in the cell above it. I used the below formula: =INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($H$1,"-","_"),", ","__"),". ","__")," ","_"))
This works fine on cities with a dash in them (McGhee-Tyson) or just a normal name (Washington, DC). However, I cannot get the attraction drop-down to work if I select a city with a period (St. Louis, MO) or a space (San Antonio, TX). Am I missing something in the formula? I attached a spreadsheet as an example. I use Excel 2007, but saved the spreadsheet in Excel 97 – 2003 format.
how to do this and I just can't seem to figure it out...I've come close, but something always seems to be incorrect when I try to do it.
So what I have is 5 column sheet (please see the attached file).
What I would like to do is have the 1st column (Main Folder) be a drop down list and have the other 4 columns dependent on the 1st.
So for example, if I choose Business Hierarchy then in the Subfolder, Subfolder2 there should be nothing shown and under the Attribute column, there should be:
ALL
BUSINESS SEGMENT
REGION
AREA
OPERATING MARKET
COMPANY
MASTER COMMUNITY
COMMUNITY
shown to the user.
Or if I were to pick Unit from the Main Folder, then in Subfolder Unit, Unit Options, Unit Budgets, Dates, etc. should be shown while in Subfolder2 the items for Corresponding to Dates should be shown.
Currently the description box is blank, but will be needed to correspond just with the pertinent main folder selection as well.
Please let me know if you guys have any suggestions, I greatly appreciate. I'm still learning how to do this kind of stuff, so please forgive me again for having trouble with this.
I also understand that if I were to cluster the information in the Attributes column into single cells such as:
ALL
BUSINESS SEGMENT
REGION
AREA
OPERATING MARKET
COMPANY
MASTER COMMUNITY
COMMUNITY
into one cell, then it is very simple, but I do need the seperation between cells due to the description column.
I have a sheet with two combo boxes. One lists RC's (Responsiblilty Centers) and the other lists the Departments depending on which RC the user chooses in list one. I am not sure I did this right because a user choose a certain department and Department Drop Down List for some reason is now limited to the School of Nursing departments related to the user’s entry on the contract log. All the department field drop downs for entire sheet are now restricted to the information related to Dave’s School of Nursing RC on Line 1 & 2.

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.

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.
