I am trying to setup a number of cells with a validation list allowing "Yes" or "". I would like the cell value to equal 1 when "Yes" is selected. Is this possible without VBA?
The reason for this is because I want to set up conditional formatting with the tick, cross, exclamation mark icon set (With a tick appearing for "Yes"), but this conditional formatting only works with numerical values.
to validate a cell for the following customer format, but cant get it to work:
XX00000
Where XX is any combination of letters (upper or lowercase) and
00000 is a combination of any 5 numbers.
It must always be in this format, with this number of digits in total (2 letters followed by 5 numbers)
Is there a way to have a data validation drop down menu but at the same time allowing users to enter free text as well.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 2 sheets;
Sheet1 (Also named "TicketNames") and Sheet 2 ("Day1").
On TicketNames I have 4 Columns the first 3 columns with about 5 names per columns.
Each list of five are given a specific Name ("One","Two","Three"). The last column is just
a list for Day1 dropdown menu. (3 names, "One", "Two", "Three").
On Day1, I have a validation list on A1 which will allow the user to select either ("One, Two or Three").
On B1, another dropdown menu, but it will only show the items related to the selection they made on A1.
My problem is that on A1, instead of having "One" show up, I want it to say "$1" for One dollar. But because it is a number not a text it won't allow me to use a validation list using this.
I'm using Excel 2007
Can you increase the number of fields shown in the list so that you don't have to scroll through the entire list?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do 2 things involving data validation. 1) Count the number of entries in a data validation dropdown list and display a result. 2) Use an If statement to pull the formatting from a cell into another cell.
An example would be if Cell A1="A", then show the drop down list associated with cell or sheet "!ryanB2". Alternatively, I would like to also display the number of entries in the drop down list.
I have produced an order form and one of the columns is 'availibility' with all cells in this column set to a validation list containing 'Yes,No'.
If the user selects 'no' for a particular item's availibility, i want that row of cells to disable in some way. i.e change colour to grey and become locked.
If the user selects 'yes' the row for that item will remain unlocked and will not change colour.
I have a list and set cells with a List Data Validation so you can choose them from a drop down menu. What i want to do is when you choose one of the option is the cell next to it come up with other option relating to the previous. E.G. I choose John Smith in cell A1 as a manager and in A2 a list of his team appears.

I have a month long sheet where daily entries get made in the DOW row, the day of the month is a reference.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've setup a list of names that is populated from a userform, this works OK. I have then tried to use a combobox (on a separate form) to use these names as its values, I first used the rowsource property but this only returned the first name in the list and after searching for the last few hours and trying different methods it's still not working.
Here's what I have;
To populate the list;
Dim irow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Clients")
'find first row in database
irow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
With ws
.Range("A" & irow) = txtNewClient.Value
I have also tried the userform_initialize, with no joy either,
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.
Somehow I cannot seem to count data in a column (e.g C) where cells are populated from a data validation list. The same formula works when I manually populate the same data in another reference column (e.g J). I have tried both COUNTIFS and SUMPRODUCT but they dont seem to work
=SUMPRODUCT(--($C$4:$C$9995=AB3),--($G$4:G$9995
I need a macro which will lock the cells after data is entered in the cell once. Cell should should be only edited after a password is provided. I found the following macro but the problem is that it's not locking the cells where I have Data Validation List :
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:M10000")) Is Nothing Then 'set your range here
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="1234"
Target.Locked = True
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="1234"
End If
End Sub
I made a sheet to control some reports, and it works like this: you click a button ("Insert"), it opens a userform, you type everything there (date, serial number, client, city) and it place that info on the first row available. Then there's a "Clear Last Entry" button, and that's it.
I would like to protect the whole sheet and only allow users to insert new entries via the "Insert" button. How can I do this? If I protect normally Excel won't allow the VBA code to write on cells.
Iam making some test report tamplet`s, in that when I select the material from drop down (ref enclosed xls file) all spec will be displayed. ·I want the sheet to be protected at the same time few cells to be allowed for data entry (cells marked with blue)· If sheet can`t be protected I want to hide the formulas and spec details used in it.

How I can Removing the Black cells in list in data validation ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat I am trying to do would appear to be very simple. I am trying to build a quotation form for our sales guys to use. I would like to use a drop down list with the list of products in, which I have created using a list in a second sheet and then using a data validation drop down list.
What I would like to achieve is the sales person selects the product (of a list of only 14) from the list and excel to automatically fill in the two columns to the right with the model no. and also the price.
Would it be possible to use an IF statement as there are only 14 products to choose from? Is there a better way of doing this? I have created the lists of model numbers and prices in the second sheet alongside the product name which the drop down list sources from.
On Sheet2, data validation is applied to cells D21:D70 to limit data to values to a list, which is a named range on another worksheet. There are ranges on two other worksheets with the same data validation rule. The range for the list is ‘Sheet1’!D12:D26 (which is named “Processesâ€).
On Sheet1, the user enters a list of their processes. Then on Sheet2 (and the other sheets where the data validation is applied), they select one of the processes from the list. This all works fine until they go back to Sheet1 and modify one of the previously entered values.
For example, "Brush Teeth" is entered as one of the processes on Sheet1. It is then selected on Sheet2. Then, the user goes back to Sheet1 and changes the value to "Brush Hair." When you return to Sheet2, the value is still "Brush Teeth." It can be manually be changed by selecting “Brush Hair†from the drop-down list (“Brush Teeth†is no longer available), but it doesn’t automatically update.
Data validation was applied to a single cell (A3) and the list was on the same worksheet (B1:B3).
Option Explicit
Private oldValue As String
Private Const DVCell As String = "A1"
Private Const dataList As String = "B1:B10"

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be 'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard 'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select 'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
On Sheet2 (I assume I need to add this code to every applicable sheet), I tried editing the first part of the code as follows (changes in bold), but when I click on any cell on Sheet2 that has the data validation rule applied, VB returns the error “Run-time error ‘1004’: Method ‘Range†of object ‘_Worksheet’ failed.†If I go into the debugger, the second instance of “If Not Intersect(Target, Range(dataList)) Is Nothing Then†is highlighted.

when you choose Data Validation for a specific cell, you can choose list. Once you have chosen list for "Allow", you can select the source cells for what will be in the drop-down menu. I want to be able to use VBA (or just use Excel) to modify those source cells.
For example:
There will be 3 lists with drop-down menus using Data Validation.
List 1:
Choose first option in list -> List 2 uses source A
Choose second option in list -> List 2 uses Source B
etc...
List 2:
Choose first option in list -> List 3 uses source C
Choose second option in list -> List 3 uses source D
Is there a way to set 2 cells equal, while allowing either one to be manually changed? So if I put in value of 10 for Cell1, Cell1 and and Cell2 will both be equal to 10. Then if I change Cell2 to a value of 20, both cells will be equal to 20.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet which autofilters according to a validation list in cell E2 using the code.
I have then used subtotal arrays to calculate the mean, median, max, min and total count for whichever values the filter shows.
What I want to do next is have a code which will select each possible option from the validation list (triggering the autofilter) and copy and paste the values from each dependent formula into a new sheet.

In cell H5 there is list of dates and in H7 there is codex, based on these two conditions in H11 a data validation list should be populated from the code_sheet using column B. The populated list should be unique entries, as the column B in code_sheet has duplicates.

The total number of rows I use is 10, and the number of items in the dropdown list will be 30.
The data in the cells 2 to 10 does not change from that first set to its data menu name.
I'm using Excel 2007. I would like to seek some advise on how i may update cells after selecting a month from a drop down list.
i have created a simplified version of what i intend to have. One the 1st tab 'Cash Budget 2009', i have filled up a table with numbers, sorted by months. On the 2nd tab 'Dec09', i would like to create an expense table, to be able to be selected by month. So i have created a drop down list based on the months that are created in the 1st tab.
Upon selection of the month from the drop down list, i would like the cells to display (fetch) the data from the 1st worksheet. It would also be helpful if the name of the 2nd tab can be updated to read as the month that is being selected.
I've created seven names in my data validation source list on Sheet 3 in the following range of cells, A2-A7. My data drop down validation list is located on Sheet 1, A2 in the same workbook. I would like to trigger a macro based on the name I select in this drop validation drop down list that will fill out an address, telephone number, and email address in the following cells next to my data validation drop down list on Sheet 1: B2, B3, and B4. I want it to be designed so that users will select a name and have that person's corresponding address, telephone number, and email address fill right next to their name on the same sheet.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am wanting to create a validation rule so when two cells are added the together the answer must be less than or equal to 14:00 - otherwise a message box will appear
So for example if H7+I7 gives an answer of 13:00 in J7, that's OK, but if the answer is 15:00, the error box will appear. I know that data validation doesnt work on a cell that already has a formula so I'm hoping to use K7 for the Validation and then hide the column
I'm trying to use DGET to pull coordinate pairs from a list and match them up to a label based on certain criteria. I can't seem to get it to work. I'm also thinking that the way I have it set up, the coordinate pairs might not stay together and that has to be the case. My criteria is multiple cell based too and I don't think DGET can handle that.
For example, In order for a coordinate pair to be labeled "B" the x coordinate must satisfy a condition and the y coordinate must satisfy a different condition. Can I use DGET with the AND function?
I have a list for example with two variants "YEs, "NO"..
Is there any possibility to choose YES or no in any cell an reflect the same value in another list on another sheet.
I'm not sure if its possible to do what I want. I'm trying to do it without VBA as my users might have a high macro security setting.
I have a validation dropdown in A2 where they pick 'yes' or 'no' for FLSA. I would like B2 to be a dropdown (validation, listbox, whatever) that would change based upon A2. If A2 is 'yes' I want to use the data in A5:B7 and if its 'no' use A10:B12. Ultimately I want B2 to equal one of the numbers from A5 - A7 or A10 - A12. However when they click on the drop down they see the combo of column A and columb B as column A has no meaning for the user.
