I am new to writing macros and am wondering what is the easiest way to create a drop down and select multiple items separated by comas. The people who are going to input data into this spreadsheet are field people and not technically savvy so need to design something that is just a matter of cliking on the drop down and selecting multiple items and they should show on the same cell separated by commas.
View 9 RepliesI am wanting to create a list where I can select multiple items within that list and then print only those selected items. I have created something similar thru data validation, but I can't get it to print.
In addition, I would like to be able to subdivide the list into multiple categories, then select items from these multiple categories and print them.
Looking to create a drop down list on the top of a column that will find all entries with that numerical value. For example, lets say I have four entries with the value 1234 spread out through the columns. When I click the drop down menu, it should only have 1234 once and when I click it, it shows me all the rows with that entry.

What I would like to be able to do is select multiple items and have those items appear in a single cell on my spreadsheet.
Maybe something like: WA, CA, OR Forms.ListBox.1 is the name of my object. Or do I need to use a different object type?
I'm trying to write a macro to select the multiple sets of the same data for several PIVOT tables. I've tried Slicers but it seems that this takes up too much processing power and always times out.
My workaround is to do a macro that picks out the said data, however when i do the below, plus another 4-500 lines i get told that there are too many line continuations
Code:
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable6").PivotFields( _
"[Postal District].[Postal District].[Postal District]").VisibleItemsList = _
Array("[Postal District].[Postal District].&[AB11]", _
"[Postal District].[Postal District].&[AB12]", _
[Code] ...
What I'm looking to do is express all the postcodes in one line or at least multiple post codes in one go, this is what I've tried:
Code:
"[Postal District].[Postal District].&[AB12].&[AB13]"
and
Code:
"[Postal District].[Postal District].&[AB12,AB13]"
But to no avail.
I have created a DAta Validation List and it only select one item. I want it to select as many items that is on the list but i can't get it to work for my main worksheet I am working on. I can't figure out why I can't get it to work for the work sheet "This Don't" but it works for the worksheet "This Works" why and how I can change it so both Reason (Column F and H can) select mutliple items on there.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running a pretty huge database with Part Numbers across several Suppliers which fluctuate constantly.
For example: a HEXAGONAL BOLT may have a Part Number ABC123, but depending on the size of the bolt it could be a ABC123-001 ABC123-V28 ABC123-40mm (etc)
There's a lot of data (some of it sensitive) so I don't want the users to see everything - I'm creating a front-end sheet and am looking for a way for a user to type in the Part Number "ABC123" into cell A1, then the Pivot below to auto-update (with Part Number on the 'Report Filter') to show all variations of ABC123, including ABC123-1 ABC123-2 etc - i.e. not an exact match; everything that contains the characters in cell A1.
The relevant information has been ported in and password protected on a sepearate sheet within the workbook, so it's literally a code to make the cell value affect the filter.
I watched a video on youtbe. And the women had three or four items in drop down box. She was using vba. When i emailed her to ask her how she did this, she kept telling me to go to her website and i was supose to figure it out on my own. I am trying to do a start up construction company. the link to her site is as follows Select Multiple Items from Excel Data Validation List - YouTube the idea of what i want to do, is how she clicks on a word and it follows in the coloumn to the right going down. This is what i need to know how to do. It is probably pretty elementary to many of you. But i build, i know how to read prints, to cut footprints for new homes etc. But when it comes to excel i am so green.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use a List Box to select multiple items on my Pivot Table but I can't seem to get it to work. Its the Report Filter part of the pivot table.
When the list Box is set to fmMultiSelectSingle it work and selects the indivdual items, but I need it set as fmMultiSelectMulti for if i'm also needed to select multiple items. (which doesn't seem to work!)
changing two variables a various amount of times and running the same procedure and copying the resutls into another sheet. Seems like a perfect place for a macro. However, these variables can be chosen from a list that the user wants. So why not build in a listbox for each one. Now I have two listboxes one for variable A and one for variable B.
The procedure in theory goes something like this we change variable A from the base case and then run the procedure for variable B, get the results, then run the scenario again but changing only variable B abnd repeat. Then once, all of the variable B scenarios are done, I want to change the variable A and then repeat and so forth.
That is the background and my main problem at this point, is that have these values in two listboxes, I know how to do the for each loops and such, however, I do not know how to do them for values in the listbox.
How do I identify the values selected in the respective listboxes and then pull them so I only use them for the for each loop?
I would like to populate the captions of checkboxes in a userform with the items listed in a drop down menu located in cell A1. Lets just say I don't know exactly how many items in the dropdown there will be, but I do have an estimate number. Maybe between 20 and 25.

Drop list. First of all I have sheet with all my data and i have define the name of each table.
I have about 15 categories table and a table with min 2 and max 100 items in each category.
I have made in a different sheet a drop list for my categories. Near this list i made another drop list with the items by using the formula =indirect() to arrange my items by categories.
The problem that i have is:
- Some categories they have many items and is difficult to find some items. i need to put a formula to put some letters and find what i need easily (easy searchable).
In Column A I have a list of Products and in Column B is the list of corresponding prices. I'd like to create a drop down list with the items in Column A that would automatically fill-in the pricing from Column B next to it. I've tried using an IF statement, but my product list is too long.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a list of items (formatted alphanumeric) in column G starting at row 2. I would like a cell formula that would randomly select 30 items from this column and place them in column H starting at row 2. One caveat is that the list must remain static once created. If the Rand()function is used, it recalculates whenever the worksheet is updated so that might be a problem.
Cell formula to do this? A VBA solution would be OK as well.
How to select pivot items in a pivot field based on choices from a MULTICOLUMN listbox?
At present, all I know is how to deselect pivot field values
Range("A5").Select
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable4").PivotFields("MONTH")
.PivotItems("MAY").Visible = False
Because the pivot table automatically starts with all items selected?
One sheet will be where someone will be able to select the filtering criteria from a drop down box (ie. Industry, Company, Location, etc) then click an execute button.
Then the macro will go to the second sheet where all the data is, filter the data and create a new spreadsheet with the selected data.
I have been able to create a filtering macro on the data sheet but have not been able to place the macro on the first sheet and have the macro run correctly. I have attached the file.
I have created a spreadsheet here at work to stream line certain orders. For memory Reasons, and sanity Reasons, it is one spread sheet for 5 different types of requests (moves, changes, cancel...etc). the top portion of this sheet has general info that is needed for all the requests...but then it is broken up to 5 sections, one for each request reason. there is a drop down list in the top general section to select your reason for request, so the group receiving the form doesnt have to do to much thinking and go straight to the section they need. but i want to know if there is some way to make it so if someone selects cancel in this drop down list, only the cancel section appears, and not the other 4 sections, or if they choose move, only the move section appears and so on...
I have several pre-configured macros that I would like to choose from using a drop-down menu. I know this is possible within the excel built-in ribbon, but I need to have it only in the spreadsheet. The macro will be importing a csv file. I have several different csv files that I need to be able to choose from and a drop-down list seems to be the best choice. The other option could be to have the macro prompt me to select the csv file of choice. Below is a sample of the macro that I would be using. Is this possible?
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _

I've created a budgeting spreadsheet and it is available to users via the web. When I initially created this I was short sighted and set everything as $'s. Users have limited ability to set formatting on this sheet.
I was wondering if I could create a drop down list for users to select their currency type which in turn would then drive the formatting used in the cells. I'm not quite sure how complicated this would be. Is this something that could only be done usa VB code? I'm pretty basic in Excel (know a good amount of formulas, etc).
I have 2 sheets, 1 sheet has a list of materials that require Certifications. The 2nd sheet is actually a report of which materials is needed for the specific job at hand. Column C will be linked to check boxes on a different sheet in the future (thats why i used True/false instead of Yes/no). What i would like to happen is when a cell in Column C is TRUE the information in column B be sent to the Certifications sheet in a list from C8 to C34 with no spaces.

I need to query table contents where some general items are met, and item id's are not contained in an array.
Example:
Code:
SELECT LOOKUP.*, LOOKUP.Var FROM LOOKUP WHERE ((LOOKUP.Name)="test" Or (LOOKUP.Name)="test2" AND ((LOOKUP.Type)=3) AND ((LOOKUP.Var) ("array", "of", "items")))
I need to know how to add an array to a query since I can't hard-code the list each time, and the array can be a different size each time, so using array variables doesn't make sense here.
Need code that takes names of people from one excel sheet and selects the names in a pivot table field in another excel sheet. Basically I need to know the code that selects pivot items in a pivot field (say name of the pivot field is 'EmpName' and the pivot items are the names of the employees). As of now I check the name in one excel sheet then manually select the name from the 'Emp Name pivot field in the pivot table. There are many names and manually selkecting one by one is very time consuming hence I am trying to automate this.
