Save Data To Worksheet Dependent On Userform Dropdown
Jul 14, 2009
I'm a little out of my element(normally program PLC's). I have always been lucky on searching others programs and have been real successful at piecing them together to fit the application I needed. The current workbook I am working on for my supervisor will allow him to keep track of personnel's weekly job assignments. The workbook and userform work fine when just using one worksheet.
What i would like to be able to do is use the "assigned to" combobox be the indicator as to which worksheet the data is saved to. I have tried to do it several different ways but have been un-successful. Have spent the last two days reading and searching for a solution but have yet to find or understand one.
I have put together a user form with two ComboBoxes, one dependent on the other. The first box has a drop down menu from which the user selects a name, and the second drop down populates a list from a named range according to the user's selection in the first box. The code I used is as follows:
[Code] .....
This has worked so far, however, if one selects a name in ComboBox1 and then changes their selection (ex. Initially selects John Smith from the first menu, and then changes their selection to Mike Roberts) there is an error. I am not sure why - I think the issue stems from the 'Clear' function but I am not sure how to resolve it.
I am hoping to have, on another sheet, a series of dependent drop boxes- Year, Quarter, Month, SKU- which after selecting then displays 'dataA' & 'dataB'.
So you could select- List 1: 2013 ----> List 2: Q1 ----> List 3: Jan ----> SD-21.................and then 13% and 0.05% are displayed.
The data will be continuously added to and so needs to be based on a dynamic data range.
I know that a pivot table is the perfect way to do this, however my bosses have requested that I do not use that format so it is easy for all staff to access.
So I think I need to construct some sort of dashboard sheet, I have experimented with OFFSET from other posts, but so far have had no joy.
I have an Excel file with two different visible sheets (dashboards), each with different types of charts, which are pulling from the same data tables on a hidden sheet. I have a data validation drop down list on one of the dashboard sheets, which lists 7 items. Once one of the 7 item is selected, both dashboards update, which is what I want. However, I'd like to be able to have duplicated, related validation drop down lists. So if someone is looking at the first dashboard sheet and they select a new item, when they go to the second dashboard and see that same item, they could on that second dashboard select a new item without having to go back to the first dashboard.
I'd provide an example if I could, but cannot. I've tried searching on the forum for something similar, but most often the topic of dependent data validation is on two different types of drop downs with the second being dependent on the first, whereas I'm looking for two drop downs that are interconnected and can update in sync.
I want to create a spreadsheet, where one column allows the user to choose 'P' or 'C' from a list. No problem. I want the next column to contain options specific to what they choose. So if they choose 'C' they get a different list to choose from than if they would have chosen 'P'.
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'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.
I am trying to have a drop down list which is dependant on the result of a cell.
For example, if cell A1= CAT, then cell A2 should have a 'drop down list 1'; if cell A1=DOG, cell A2 would have 'drop down list 2'; if cell A1=RABBIT, cell A2 would have 'drop down list 3' etc.
Creating the drop down list is easy, I just want to know if it's possible to have different drop down lists depending on the result of a cell.
Attempting to use INDIRECT function to create dependent data validation list (Type). The tricky part is that the drop down options are dependent on the values of two (2) cell values (Brand and Country).
I have used the INDIRECT function before but dependent on ONE cell value only.
I am trying to get a listbox I created in from DataValidation to be dependent on another list.
For example, when I select Course 1 (a list item) from the Course List drop-down, I want the cost to auotmatically populate in the Cost drop-down (the other list).
How do I get this to happen? Here is the code I created in VB, and I am not sure if this is the right course of action:
Sub Automated() Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "MATLAB" If (Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "MATLAB") Then Sheet1.Cells(2, 3) = "31" End If Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "INCA" If (Sheet1.Cells(2, 1) = "INCA") Then Sheet1.Cells(2, 3) = "41" End If
[code]....
I don't want to use the user form, however from VB. I want to use the regular drop-down. The code seems to work, but, each list item in the drop-down is not pulling the data I want it to. I need to activate the drop-down as a click event somehow. It's just recognizing the cell A2 as a whole and not the individual list items. I want to each list item to be their own object, and to automatically populate the cell C2 with their cost when they are selected.
I need to create a 2-stage dependent drop down list.
Stage 1:
In cell G7 (on a tab called 'Data'), I have created a drop down list based on a range name called 'Region' .
Stage 2:
In cell G8, I need to create a drop down list which is dependent on the value chosen in G7.
Problem is, I will need to create a dynamic range name here which needs to vlookup or match the value from G7 in a dynamic list of data (the data is on different tab called 'RCA Data' and is spread over columns A:E with row A for headings - the data will go down an undetermined number of rows)
Every time the value in G7 matches a value in the 'RCA data' (the potential matches are stored in column
D) I need the corresponding cell value in column C to be added to the dynamic list. This list then needs to be available to choose from a drop down list in G8.
I need to create a data validation drop-down that is dependant on what has been selected in another drop-down. However, all the solutions I've come across online so far suggest using the INDIRECT function, which is not appropriate in my case. This is because the data upon which the two drop-downs are based on is itself dynamic. My specific situation is this:
In one sheet, I have a list of university names in one column, and in the next column a list of faculties. The same university can appear multiple times in the sheet (once for each different faculty at the university). This information will be added to regularly, with new universities and new faculties added often.
In another sheet, I want a drop-down in one column that takes its validation from the list of universities. I then want a second drop-down that is only populated with a list of faculties at that university. The INDIRECT solution seems to only work if I can define a static range of cells from which to draw this data. How do I do it in my situation above?
I need the drop down menu to update when the user adds a new entry. For example, if the user decides to add companies to the financial table, no matter how many new rows they add, our drop down menu at the top will update to include the new the entries. I want this to be the case in every table. How do I do this?
I have three drop-down boxes in 3 adjacent columns. Column 1 is free-choice, Columns 2 and 3 drop-downs are variable dependent on what is in Column 1. That works fine.
I have an issue with over-type but I can solve that with protection. Again fine.
BUT:
1. How do I make the user choose something i.e. not just leave the cell in column 2 or 3 blank by ignoring it (i.e. blank is an error but only after drop-down in column 1 is activated)
2. Also, if the user has completed the line (columns 1,2 and 3) and then changes column 1, columns 2 and 3 are now reading from the incorrect drop-down boxes (i.e. they are now in error but this is accepted and not flagged).
I need to create three drop down lists, with the second dependent on the choices in the first and the third dependent on the choices in the second. This is proving to be quite difficult and takes a lot of processing the way I'm going about it (most likely the wrong way).
My data looks like this:
A B C
Macintosh Apple Fruit Apple
[code]......
The data is presented to me with the most narrowly defined column first, then the most general, then more defined.
What I need is the user to select (on a separate worksheet from the data) the category from column B, then the type from column C, then the specific item from column A. Each selection is dependent on the earlier selection, so that choice 1 (column B) determines the options for choice 2 (column C), which determines the options for choice 3 (Column A).
Also, I think I found that "VLOOKUP" has a problem where it is unable to match data from the first column based on data in a second or third column. For instance, in the above example, if I asked VLOOKUP to look for "Apple" and give me values in column A that contain "Apple" in column C, all I get is "#N/A".
I have been asked to edit a worksheet for a client, they want me to create a dependent drop list using existing data from three columns.
I have created a dynamic named range and used and index to create the drop down list, which seems to work correctly. I run into a problem with I try to add the list to more than one column, as it obviously pulls in values from the Helper sheet I have used.
When the user tries to select values in row one after making a selection in row two, the values available for selection are incorrect.
Is there any way to have a three column dependent drop list that can be used in more than one row?
I have uploaded the file here: ownCloud
The information on the tab named 'Cabling Ducts' is used in an index on the 'Helper' sheet to remove duplicate values. The drop down list columns appear in 'CS 1' under the headings 'Cable Type', 'Size (mm)' and 'Cores'. Helper sheet is self explanatory.
There are other dependent drop-down list posts on this forum, but none of them are talking about working with multiple worksheets. I have three worksheets, one called "Main", one called "Universities", one called "Schools".
One the "Main" worksheet, I have two Combo Boxes (the one from the "Form" toolbar). I would like to first pick a university from the combo box and then based on the selection, the second combo box would give me just the schools in that specific univeristy. My guess on how to link the two drop-down list is by the ID column. If I select "University of Washington" which has an ID of "WAS" it would narrow down the second list to ID with "WAS" in it (Which would be "WAS1", "WAS2, etc). The reason I am using Combo Box is because of the "Link Cell" property which give me an output of the number of the selection into a cell. I will use that to get the corresponding ID. I have attached an example to this post.
I am working on a spreadsheet for my Building company. I'm building a tool to price for Fascia, Soffits and Cladding.
I'm using Macbook Pro Microsoft Office for Mac 2011
Please see attached file
The first sheet holds all the lists of products, Category Headings list is in column A and then all the relevant products and prices are then from B to BI. I have defined each category with a name by selecting the cells and entering a name in the name box.
The second sheet is a Calculator in which I would like a to have a drop down list in the Category Column (Which I have worked out how to do myself - good old google) and then a drop down list in the second column which lets the user select from a list of results based on the selection from the previous column.
Example: Category(B3) - 18mm Fascia/Replacement Board (Square White) - Drop down menu taken from sheet 1 A3:A33 Description (C3) - Drop down list containing all the options from D2:D15 Named "FasciaReplacementBoard18mmWhite"
So basically, whatever the user selects in Column B (from the category list) a drop down list would be available in Column C
The Value column would then show a value based on the options selected.
I have a dynamic dropdown list in B3. The dynamic dropdown list in B4 is a result of my choice in B3, and my dynamic dropdown list B5 is a result of my choice in B4.
When changing a value in B3 the dropdown lists B4 and B5 will be reset. This is done by this VBA Script in my worksheet.
Is it possible to have a worksheet code that would underline a row if a certain value is selected in a dropdown list?
I have a worksheet with data populated across colums A to K, in Column I there is a dropdown list. What I wanted was to be able to understrike the Columns A to K of a particular row is the value in the dropdown list in Column I ="Cancelled". I cannot use Conditional Formatting as I have already used the maximum 3 formats for other features.
In my IE site there is a field which is a dropdown field with the value 'Not Known' and 'Specified Date'. If I select 'Specified Date' another field named 'Date' becomes visible where I can give a date. I was able to ensure that the value 'Specified Date' is selected using the following statement:
IE.document.GetElementById("startDateBasis").Value = "SpecifiedDate"I also was able to populate the date field with the statement: IE.document.GetElementById("startDate").Value = SOA
Where SOA is populated with the date string I need to be given as input in IE.
My issue though is that, eventhough the data is provided by the macro the field 'Date' is not visible. So I have no way to know if the input was succesful until I submit the screen. I think I read somewhere that this is because of the way datebasis is populated.
How to get the field 'Date' made visible if datebasis is given as 'Specified Date'?
Creating a spreadsheet in Excel 2010 and am creating the dropdowns from a separate sheet in the workbook. There are no spaces and I don't know why I keep getting the "The Source currently evaluates to an error."
I am entering the Data Validation to reference the first cell I need "=INDIRECT(H3)"
I have put the spreadsheet on dropbox. When you select the "Sequencing Platform" drop down, it need to give just the dropdown for the platform selected.
I have the following table with weeks to display for the holidays and my column H has a drop down list of the first column in the table below with the Named Range, "SNCODE.Season_Codes".
The other two Named Ranges are, "SNCODE.Season_Codes.Start" and "SNCODE.Season_Codes.End"
I need my column K to display a list of weeks from the first week to the last week. For example, the cell in column K for Valentine's Day should have 1, 2, 3, 4.
Is there any way to set the list from a Combo Box to automatically start in the middle?
Whenever I select a Combo Box, the drop down list always automatically starts at the top of my selected range, ideally I would like it to start in the middle.
For example my Range that I am filling the Combo Box with lists dates: Today()-7 to Today()+7.
At the moment the first item in the combo box list is Today()-7, I would like it to be Today().
I have been asked by my supervisor to make a performance review template a little bit more user friendly.
Basically what I have is a drop own list in cells in one column (various cells with the same drop down menu) that you select from either 0-10 in a drop down box.
I have another cell which I want to have a drop down box with text comments that you select from when. Only problem is the comments different dependent on the ranking score you give a person (the number selection in the previously mentioned cell from 0-10). So if you have a score between 9-10 in the cell then the comments box will give you certain comments to choose, 7-8 different comments and so on and so forth.
I'm trying to create a database where when 3 dependent drop down list selections are combined, information is displayed.
I've tried VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH but to no avail.
Attached is the spreadsheet and what I am trying to accomplish. On the first sheet ("budget form") is a table named "Event Costs - room hire". I have created three drop down lists that interact based on what you select. Some rooms offer different services and so are dependent on the selection.
However, I want the final box to display the price depending on what is selected in the previous 3 lists. The amounts and a table I have created is in the "Product Database" sheet and the table is labelled, "Room Hire Control C".
I am trying to accomplish keeping userform data in the userform after saving & closing the workbook. I am not referring to saving the data in a worksheet. Is this possible?
I have a form which creates a budget based on user input. I want to save that user input in a separate workbook. My goal is to reduce the file size. I have several modules which perform evaluations/ calculations, and then format the output in a worksheet, but the size is pretty large 450KB.
I was thinking that I could set the control source, to different cells on the worksheet, and then just copy the worksheet to a new workbook, and save the data by itself. Then if I wanted to change the data for a given budget, I would copy the sheet back into the workbook that contains the modules, and load the form again. Is this a good solution? Is there a better way? Please let me know if I can provide more information.
I have a Userform.Which is working perfectly to send data to excel sheet.
In the userform there is command button (commandbutton1) which is used to send data to excel sheet...This only send data but it actually does not save it into excel sheet.When I close excel sheet it asks do you want to save changes?
But I need when commandbutton1 is press to send data to excel sheet , it should actually save data into excel sheet.
I have a workbook with 4 worksheet that store different type of data. It also has a userform that load at start of the application which is to search the data in the workbook. The userform has a combobox where the names of the sheets are stored. when the user selects say Sheet2 in the combobox, it enables the relevant textboxes on the userform and activates the worksheet at the change event. The userform has a search button that searches all the worksheets based on the text entered in a textbox.
The problem: how to search based on 1 textbox. What I want is: say for e.g the end-user selects sheet2 from the combobox, this intern enables 4 textboxes (Name, DOB, Nationality, ID #) on the userform. The end-user should have the liberty to enter data in 1 and/or any of the textboxes. The search should be performed, that if data is only in 1 of any of textboxes then give all rows that fit that criteria and display in a temp worksheet. if say the name and dob is filled by the user than what matches both should be displayed in a temp worksheet. if say dob, name and ID# given so the search button should narrow down to fit all 3 criteria and then display result in temp worksheet. As if mentioned data can be entered in either just 1 or any or all textboxes.
E.g. the worksheet is (Columns are Name, Nationality, DOB, ID#)
row 1 = name: Steven Martin, DOB: 27-may-1993, Nationality: Trinidad & Tobago, ID #: 1234567 row 2 = name: Gary Richards, DOB: 2-FEB-1993, Nationality: British, ID #: 456789 row 3 = name: David Cohen, DOB: 27-May 1993, Nationality: American, ID #: 98765 row 4 = name: Roberto McDonalds, DOB 21-Jul-1962, Nationality: British, ID # 654321 row 5= name: Gary Richards, DOB: 01-Dec-1978, Nationality: Australian, ID # 1234567
Now if the user enters only name as "Gary Richards" and search then row 2 and 5 should be displayed in a temp worksheet. if user enters name Roberto McDonald and ID# 1234567 then it should not display anything. if user enters DOB 27-may-1993 and nationality British and ID # 1234567 then as well shouldn't display anything and should a msgbox "no data found".
