Return Data Validation Without Interspersed Blank Rows?

Jun 17, 2014

I have a list that has blank rows mixed in. I'd like to return a list without those blank rows to be used as a dropdown menu for a budgeting tool.

I tried using the offset formula from the link below but this just cut off my list after the first blank rows showed up.

My current list looks something like this:

Code
5000-Salary
5000-01 - Hourly

Advanced Filter To Return Rows W/blank Column

Mar 25, 2009

I have a worksheet which shows multiple tests and whether they are completed or not[code]Test 1 Person1 Test 2 Person2 Test 3...Person12. I want to search for a specific test, e.g. pH which could be in any of the "Test" columns but only return it if it is not completed. The "Person" columns will be blank if no one completed the test.

I set up the Advanced Filter criteria with all the appropriately labeled columns and for the Person columns, I put ="" but it is returning all rows which have pH in them whether they are completed or not. What should I be putting in the Person columns of the criteria to only return those rows which have the pH test but it is not completed. I attached an example of the criteria range and the filter window to help clarify (the full spreadsheet is huge)

Data Validation To Return Different Value

Mar 21, 2014

I am trying to have the user click on a drop down list that shows several scenarios and return a score based on the scenarios. I created a list on a separate worksheet. The list contains the following:

Comprehensive list of policies 100%
General policies with no details 75%
Purchased policy templates 50%
No policies 0%

I would like the user to see this list including the corresponding scores,but when they select one, I would like the percentage to be returned in the cell.

I tried using Data Validation with VLOOKUP and named my list; however, it returns the text in the first column instead of the percentage.

Adding Blank In Data Validation List?

Mar 17, 2006

I have a spreadsheet with some cells setup with a drop-down list containing Y, N or N/A

This is being used on a TabletPC but if I make a mistake or need to change back to a blank field I have to invoke the soft keyboard, activate the cell and hit backspace then close the soft keyboard - quite a long-winded procedure just to change an incorrect choice!

What I would like to do is add a blank to the list so if I have to revert back to a blank I can just use the stylus to choose a blank from the chooser list.

How do I add the option of inputting a blank from the Data Validation List bearing in mind I am using the Data Validation Source box for entering my choices directly and not specifying a range of cells?

I have tried adding "" and even a space to no avail.

Data Validation List With Only Non-blank Cells

Aug 21, 2009

I have a list in one worksheet which comes from "=SALESMEN!$D:$D" but the list is extremely long with blank values. How can I make the list only show values from column D which are non-blank?

Currently the list goes up to 30, however I want to use all of Column D from the SALESMEN worksheet, that way if I add to it, the names will automatically be added to the list in the other sheet.

Data Validation - Blank Cell Not Working

Sep 11, 2013

I have a tracking sheet... in that I got in column C say "priority" there I have a drop down list date say P1, P2, P3

Now I need to restrict that if a user enters a data in the C2 and trying to enter a data in D2 leaving the drop down list data blank in C2. A error message saying "pls select priority forst" etc...

I got the following solution from moderator:

You can apply the Custom Data Validation formula =LEN(C2)>0 to D2, making sure that Ignore Blank is unchecked.

It works but, when I enter something in that cell it gives the error message and when I click OK or Cancel it just ignore the conditions and leave the data what ever I entered and moves further.

Macro Copying Row To Next Blank Row On Another Sheet With Data Validation?

Mar 19, 2013

I am currently working in an excel file for which i want to create a macro. I am using colomn F as the base from which it should be determined whether a row should be copied. In colomn F the user can select three options through data validation. If 'completed' is selected, the whole row should be copied to the second sheet, and each copied row should be pasted to the next empty row. The data on the source sheet starts at row 11 and should be copied to sheet 2, starting from row 11 as well.

Return A Dynamic Column Via Data Validation

Feb 2, 2010

I am a personal trainer/strength coach, and i use excel to write my workout programs.

To save time in writing programs i have made lists of all of my exercises in a separate workbook. I have them all linked via data validation in drop down lists to different templates for different populations ;weight loss, injury prevention, sports performance, ect. And it has been working great!

However here is my problem, I would like to be able to return an entire list of an exercise circuit with one drop down list and have it input all the exercises in cells below the drop down list.

So for example i have three columns on a separate sheet.

Column one

Circuit A
exercise 1
exercise 2
exercise 3

Column two

Circuit A
exercise 4
exercise 5
exercise 6

Column Three

Circuit A
exercise 7
exercise 8
exercise 9

In cell A1 i want a drop down list that that has circuit A, B, C,

using the drop down list if i pick circuit A it will return exercise 1, 2, 3 in the cells A2, A3, A4, receptively.

Find Last Row With Value In Column Interspersed With Blanks?

Mar 4, 2014

I have a colum of up to 5000 possible entries and I need to find the row number with last non blank value. If row 1 = 'A' , row 5 = 'B' and row 10 = 'C' with rows 2-4, 6-9 blank, I need a combination of functions to come to Row(10). The last value is not the largest and I can't use helper cells to get it into a sorted order.

Excel 2010 :: SUMPRODUCT Answer To Return Blank When No Data In Specific Cells

May 12, 2013

I am using Excel 2010 and I am trying to average the amount of days in a month to a daily average per person in my worksheet.

Total sales per person
A5 = 10 - This is the Grand total per person for column A
A6 =4
A7=6

Daily average per person
C5=2.6 - Average for all persons here
C6=2.0
C7=3.0

The formula I am using is:

=(SUMPRODUCT($A$6:$A$15,C6:C15))/$A5

Which gives me an answer of 2.6 in cell C5 as shown above which is what I am wanting.

Please note that my cell range for my staff goes from 6-15 for both Column A and C where the other cells are blank in both columns.

My question is, If I was to clear all the data in both Columns A6:A15 and C:6:C15, cell C5 would return to a #VALUE. How to I change the formula so that if the cells were Blank, cell C5 would also be blank until I enter data for each person again?

Nested Data Validation: Figure A To Enforce Dual Data Validation On A Single Cell?

Aug 19, 2009

I'm trying to figure a to enforce dual data validation on a single cell. That is, I need to restrict the user to entering only a decimal value, only if a particular other cell (say A2) is blank. To put it another way, if A2 is blank, the user can enter a decimal value, but if A2 is not blank, the user cannot enter anything. I can use Data Validation to enforce either the decimal restriction or the ISBLANK, but I'm not sure how to make them work together.

Find Rows Containing Data And Copy To Next Blank Row?

Apr 21, 2013

In table 1 you will see that not all rows contain data (this is because i have removed it previously with a macro) the second table shows what i want the macro to do but without deleting rows:

A
Hiddenrow with formula
B
C

[Code]....

So basically i would like a macro to search for the first none blank value in column A and copy the row to the first available blank row , it also needs to blank out that row once done. i.e row 3 would be moved up to row 2, 5 up to 3, 7 up to 4 etc etc.

The hidden rows contain formulas which cannot be deleted or my ws goes Pete Tongue.

The problem is that the group uses this data for data entry and wants a blank row between each different patient name within the physicians subtotals and I have no clue how to get there. Any chance there might be some VBA code that could accomplish this?
