I have a macro which output depence on the variable input. Input is represented by drop-down list. Before, I was choosing input from drop-down, then pressing the button my macro was running. Now, I'm thinking to if it's possible to exclude a spare operation from button pressing, just by clicking from drop-down.
My drop-down list is created through "Data->Validation->List box"
I'm trying to create a drop down list which returns values based on what has been selected in the previous drop down list in the adjacent cell, e.g. if 'Apples' is selected in the previous cell then you should only be able to select from 'Gala, Granny Smith', or if 'Oranges' is selected you should only be able to select 'Seville, Blood Orange'. Is there a formula which would do this, or can I use a pivot table somehow? I'm totally stumped.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to have a drop down list which displays a different set of values depending upon the value selected by a previous drop down list. ie. (drop down box 1)= x, y, z. (drop down box 2)= either x1, x2, x3, or y1, y2, y3, or z1, z2, z3. I can produce a single drop down box thats not a problem but linking several drop down boxes is beyond me .
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a query in Excel 2003.
My question is:
I have a macro created for my Excel. I have a short cut key to run this macro. When i run the macro, the VB editor is opened where i have written the code. My requirement is, I don't want the VB editor to be opened when i run the macro. I want the macro to be executed but the VB editor should not be visible to the user.
I got two worksheets visible for user to enter information with vba codes behind the sheets(i.e. Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range). Most cells of the worksheets are protected if the vba is executed. However, it was found that if user chooses not to run the macro when prompted, the worksheet can be edited whatever user want. So, how can the worksheet whole worksheet is protected if macro is not run?
When someone makes ANY selection from my drop-down list, I would like my macro to run so that the user can continue to fill in the rest of the form. My macro simply unhides some rows as below:
Sub UnhideForm()
Application.EnableCancelKey = xlDisabled
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="Testing"
Rows("15:112").Select
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = False
Range("Name").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="edit"
End Sub
Here's some info you might need:My sheet is called "Form"
My macro is called "UnhideForm"
My drop-down list is in the array called "TypeOfMoveCell"
I have 5 dropdown options (which includes an option called "Please select from list...") These options are located in cells BW145:BW148.
I would also like the macro to re-hide the data rows if someone deletes the value in the drop-down list, or if someone re-selects "Please select from list..." option.
I'm able to create a simple User form Drop-down list that references a cell range list. ( as a test for myself) I have 4 separate macros I would like to run individually. Rather than create 4 separate buttons, I'd like to be able to select each one via Drop-Down list.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using INDIRECT to create a second dynamic drop down list (L1) that is based on the cell contents of a first drop down list (I1). I want to create a macro that will blank the 2nd drop down list ONLY when the choice in the first list is CHANGED. I have the following, but it blanks the second list as soon as the first list is clicked on, rather than when a change is made:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Not Intersect(Range("I1"), Target) Is Nothing Then Range("L1").ClearContents
End Sub
I have tried to create a macro which prints the results of each heading in a drop down box. The listfill range is from B2 to B5 and the linked cell is B1. When manually recording the macro, i copy the heading from B2 into B1, the drop down list updates which in turn updates the cells which are linked to that, i then print out the page. The same happens when i copy-paste cells B3, B4, & B5 into B1. I then return finish the macro by copying B2 into B1.
But when i run the macro, the copy paste works but the drown down list doesnt update, therefore it doesnt update my linked cells so i acutally end up printing 5 indentical pages with the same info.
Is there anything i can do to get around this?
Macro listed below:
Sub copypasteprint()
Range("B2").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("B2").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range("B1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("E5").Select...........
This is what I'm trying to do:
1. When a user clicks on a Drop down box and selects "Add New", I would like a Macro to run
2. I want this Macro to open up a Dialog/Text box to say "Enter New Information" where the user can enter in some text
3. The text that is entered by the user into this box will be added as a new entry into the Drop down box selection
My VBA knowledge is still at a beginner's level and I know how to get a Macro to run based on a cell value. However I don't know how to create a Macro for the dialog box nor do I know how to create a Macro for updating the drop-down items.
I have a drop down box in column N, however I would like the options in that drop down box to change depending on what appears in column M.
If column M Says "Lapse" then I want one drop down box to appear in column N, If coumn M says "NTU" then I would like column N to show different drop down options.
I am trying to create a fairly simple spreadsheet with about 8 columns and about 400 rows. One of the columns features a drop-down list with about 8 or 9 different options. Dependant on which option is selected, i would like the entire row to change colour with that option.
For example:
FAILED - whole row changes red
SUCCESSFUL - row has no fill
Tested - row changes to orange
etc.
Is this possible within Excel 2003?
I am trying to generate a list based on the value of a cell. That list will then be used as the range for a drop-down list. Example: Cell A1 returns a value of 15
A drop-down list displays the values 1 through 15. Cell A1 changes to 20
Drop-down list displays the values 1 through 20. I assume I'll need a two-step macro to accomplish this but I can't figure out the logic to populate the drop-down.
why my drop down list defaults to the middle of the list when first clicking on the arrow that opens the list? I created an alphabetical list of all US airports but when I open the list, it starts at "D" instead of "A" which is the top of the list.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to create a 'sub' list from a drop down list.
I have 8 categories in a drop down list in column A, but i need column B to also have a drop down list of sub categories depending on what category is selected in column A.
And once column B is populated, i need column C to auto populate with a value. All data is stored on the spreadsheet.
I have some code which formats a worksheet based on user selections in a form. The code works, except when the user has made the same selections in two multi-select list boxes. I need to find a way to determine whether the code has already formatted the worksheet.
To me, it seems that there might be two ways to do this, 1) have a test on the original block of code that checks whether this portion of the code has already executed for this variable or 2) check the worksheet for the string (the code formats the same string each time but adds the variable for the current iteration of the loop only if Year1 = True.) The problem is that I only want to format the column if it hasn't already been formatted for that selection.

I'm trying to identify the Active Cell for the formula that is executing.
Currently, using VBA, if the last manually clicked active cell (where the cursor resides)
is different than the cell containing the executing formula I get the
wrong cell, row, or column using ActiveCell.
I have just encountered a very peculiar problem when using Scrollbar_Change Event for Controls Scrollbar (in a worksheet). I have tree scrollbars and assigned Event code for each one: ScrollBar1_Change, ScrollBar2_Change and ScrollBar3_Change.
Events works perfectly when I click on the arrows to adjust the scrollbar. What is strage however, event is not executed when I adjust the scrollbar itself (pulling the bar with a mouse) if I try it first time after adjusting another scrollbar. In such situation Scrollbar is adjusted on the screen, even linked cell is changed, but the Change Event is not executed. But when the same scrollbar is adjusted second time Change event is executed. To sum up: Scrollbar_Change event is not executed when adjusting the scrollbar with the mouse the first time after "switching" from one scrollbar to another, but is works perfectly in any other situation. It has nothing to do with the code istelf. I get this effect when I create a new workbookm add 3 scrollbars and a code like:
Private Sub ScrollBar1_Change()
MsgBox "ScrollBar1 changed!"
End Sub
Private Sub ScrollBar2_Change()
MsgBox "ScrollBar2 changed!"
End Sub
Private Sub ScrollBar3_Change()
MsgBox "ScrollBar3 changed!"
End Sub
What may be the cause of this selective "disobedience"? Note also, that I get this error on Excel 2000 (not tested it on Excel XP or 2003).
i have a spreadsheet with several fields. i want to derive information from this data. i want to be able to control the output through the use of list/drop down boxes.
so the user will choose several criteria AND based on this criteria, the ouutput will reflect user requirements.
I have a workbook with around 35+ sheets on it and I was wondering if its possible if I could put these sheets in a drop down list in say cell A1 so it would be easier to navigate the sheets. Is this possible with out using VBA code if so how would I go about doing it?
I have a drop down list of shipping Companies. If the name of the company is not in the drop down list how do I allow the user to type in the name then have it save in the drop down list source?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI ran into a screen update problem in a project I was working on and couldn't find a solution, so I wrote some test code in a new workbook as follows;
Sub Flkr()
'-------------------------
'Screen update test
'-------------------------
'Select sheet1
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
'Disable screen update
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Select sheet2
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
'display message
MsgBox "Why is the %&$@ screen updating?", vbCritical, "??????"

Seems simple enough,eh?
When I step through this code the first statement works(sheet1 is selected)
The next statement is executed without an error, so I assume it works
The next statement sheet2 is selected, and the screen updates!
I currently have a drop down list in sheet 1 and the list is being refrenced from sheet 2
Lets say the drop down list is for fruits and my current list in sheet 2 has 4 items Apple, Grape, Mango, Peach.
Now this is what I need :-
1 ) lets say a user wants to enter Orange (which is not in the list ) he can still do so by entering it manually into the cell.
2) Once Orange is entered which is not in the LIST in sheet 2 then that new name gets added to the LIST in sheet 2 so that next time that name appears in the drop down list automatically. eg Apple, Grape, Mango, Peach, Orange [ but Items should not get duplicated eg Apple, Grape, Apple, Mango, Peach, Apple
I have Excel 2003 installed on the companies computers. Many people use an Excel file and I am trying to make their work easier. There is on command which has a dropdown list made by me. What I would like to find out is that is there any possibility to make Excel help the user to choose from the drop-down list (the list is quite big). Is it possible to select a cell in this column and type in the cell and then Excel help the user. I mean (this list contains country names in abc order) if the user types S and W then Excel auto-corrects it to SWEDEN. Can this be done with Excel 2003?

View 14 Replies View Relatedim trying to create a spreadsheet for different makes of cars, here is what i want to do.
in cell one i want a drop down list for various makes of cars, in cell 2 i want another drop down list for the different models from that manufacturer (depending on which on I choose in cell one), in cells 3 and 4 I want different information depending on the make an model of the car. I have got 1 sheel with all this info on it but I dont know how to make it all work nice and neatly with drop down lists.
i m kinda playing with the drop down list and i decided to make a list about the nba teams.
heres the breakdown:
1st row
conference: east/west
2nd row
east: ATLANTIC/CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST
west: SOUTHWEST/NORTHWEST/PACIFIC
3rd row
the teams list is next.
now ive learned how to do a drop down list but i cant find a way to filter the 2nd row. i hope you can gimme some tips or ways on how to go over this. i tried data>filter but thats not what i need.
here is an attachment and i used sheet 1 for the input and sheet 2 for the list of the selections.
I have created a drop down list as follows
Whiteboard 16mm
Colourboard 16mm
Colourboard 18mm
Veneer 18mm
Veneer 19mm
Veneer laid up 40mm
Painted 16mm
Painted 18mm.
When I select one of these items I need CELL A1 to return just the thickness. EG: I hit dropdown list and select Whiteboard, CELL A1 then displays 16mm. Or I select Veneer laid up and it displays 40mm. I would imagine this formula would be quite long as I would have these 8 items in it.
I have a form with 2 columns. in the 1st, we have the product and in the 2nd, we have the price.
I have my drop down list for column1 but I want column 2 to show the correct price when column 1 has a product.
in the attached spreadsheet I have multiple sheets. On the tab "Tech IDS", column A is named "Name" and column B is the tech ID that is associated with the name in column A. Column B is validated as List=Name. Now under the tab "CAL Form" under Column A I need to type the tech's name. Now under the tab "CAL SHEET TEMPLATE" the name that I typed corresponds with a given cell (i.e. B2='CAL Form'!A2). Notice though that I2 does not give a tech id b/c of DV dropdown list meeting its limit. Look at I68, Bob's id appears b/c he fits within the limits. My question is... how can I still use the list with more names or can I modify the formula (=INDEX(ID,MATCH(B68,Name,0))) to include another Match search?
