Using Data Validation To Make My Combo Box As It Looks Cleaner
Jun 14, 2007
A row of say 20 cells, the first cell has 4 options in a combo (using data validation to make my combo box as it looks cleaner). Once the first cells value has been selected I want to populate the values of cells 2-20 based on which of the 4 options was selected in cell 1. Cells 2-20 will be a drop down of 7 options (so cell 1 selects the default selection in the other combo boxes). Also, for combo boxes 2-20 I want to change the cell background based on which option is selected.
How difficult will this be to program in Excel? Can someone help me out or point me in the right direction to find some good tutorials to help with this. (I do have some experience with Word VBA but I am by no means an expert with it, but I do program in other languages)

I have a combo box where I select "Income" or "Expense". In relation to that, In the next column called "Category", I use the offset formula in "Validation". Depending on whether I choose Income or Expense, I will get different dropdown options for "Category". What I want to do is if I choose Expense, in the column named "Amount" beside category, I want to have it so that it places the numbers in brackets or simply a negative sign. Just as reference, I use the SUM function to total up the numbers at the bottom of the sheet.
I have attached a sample copy "Data Validation Test"

Make a Data Validation dropdown list that also enters a range for cells, for example:
Kitchen ¦ High ¦ Upto 100 ¦ Easy ¦ Blank ¦ 2 ¦ Daily ¦ >6 hrs ¦ Medium ¦ >1 week
Lounge ¦ Low ¦ Large ¦ Easy ¦ Blank ¦ 0 ¦ Daily ¦ >6 hrs ¦ Medium ¦ >1 month
Bedroom ¦ Low ¦ Large 100 ¦ Easy ¦ Blank ¦ 1-3 ¦ Daily ¦ 1-3 ¦ Low ¦ >1 year
Bathroom ¦ High ¦ Upto 100 ¦ Easy ¦ Blank ¦ 0 ¦ Weekly ¦ 1-6 ¦ Low ¦ <1 year
I can make a dropdown list for:
Kitchen
Lounge
Bedroom
Bathroom
But if I select "Kitchen" I would like it to enter the rest of the cells in that row:
Kitchen ¦ High ¦ Upto 100 ¦ Easy ¦ 2 ¦ Daily ¦ >6 hrs ¦ Medium ¦ >1 week
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 want to create a form and use VBA to make a combo box list all the sheets in a book. Is it possible to select multiple entries like in HTML? I would like the user to be able to select the sheets they do not want to delete before a macro runs.

I have a list box where I select "Income" or "Expense". In relation to that, In the next column called "Category", I use the offset formula in " Validation". Depending on whether I choose Income or Expense, I will get different dropdown options for "Category". What I want to do is if I choose the first column combo box, and leave the second column combo box empty, or Vice Versa, I want a messagebox popup saying that I have to choose an option from the dropdown. But if both are empty fields, then do nothing. I have attached the file called "Data Validation Test"

I'm creating a sheet that takes three Validation Lists into account. The first two lists are based on named regions. The third list uses the first two lists to narrow a search down so that the user can pick what they want from a smaller selection. I'm using the code from Contextures.com to allow the user to double click the validation list to pop up a Combo Box. This allows me to show more than 8 selections at a time and also gives a little freedom on font and font size.
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal11.html
Since the third list is not based on a named region but rather code to compare the two previous lists, when I double click the third validation list a blank combo box pops up. it possible to pop up what ever lists are in the validation boxes.
This is the code that I have in the third validation box which States "The Source Currently evaluates to an error" but works fine for some reason. =OFFSET(CategoryStart, MATCH(B4, CategoryColumn, 0) - 1, IF(A4 = "Description", 2, IF(A4 = "ExtDescription", 3, IF(A4 = "PartNumber",4))), COUNTIF(CategoryColumn,B4), 1)
I tried making a named region that was based on the code, so that the list could change as the user selected different options from the first two lists. This gave me the same problems as I had before.

VBA Code Cleaner
I just can't seem to figure out how to use the Code Cleaner, after installing it I can't find any option to use it :S
I'm using Excel 2013 and W8 (if that's relevant).
Why does importing and exporting the code reduces the size? What kind of "junk" is stored and why? and when?

What the code does is, when the command button is clicked, if any of the validation list in a particular range is equal to"Select_Product.." or "Select Feature", then hide those rows.
Also, is there a way to toggle hide and unhide rows using one command button. I would like the code to not only hide the rows but when clicked again, it'll unhide it. Is this possible?
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim c As Range
Dim d As Range
Dim myRange As Range
Dim featureRange As Range

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.

I have a spreadsheet on sheet 1 with a list of customers and their information. So on column A I have the customer number (i.e. k968, e37, p528,...), on column B i have the customer's name, on column C the street's name, on Column D the house number, on column E the zip code and finally the city on column F.
Right now there are around 600 customers in this list.
I have made a userform with a combobox in which I want to select an existing customer (pulled from the spreadsheet). On the same userform I have textboxes (customer number, name, street, number, zip, city). When I select a customer in the combobox, I want this customer's info to show up in the textboxes. I want to be able to change the info and hit Next to store the changes in the spreadsheet. When I do not select a customer from the combobox, I want to add new info in the textboxes and hit Next to store this info as a new customer. The userform also has a delete button. Then I select a customer in the combobox, this customer (and it's info) should be deleted from the spreadsheet when i hit Delete. So the spreadsheet is variable in length.

I have 2 columns First Name & Surname. What I want to do is create a data validation list on the surname which results in the 2nd data validation list only showing the first names which link to one of the surnames.
i.e. If I selected Smith in the 1st validation list then I would only like to see 'Paul' as an option in the 2nd list
First Name
Surname
Paul
Smith
Paul
Jones
Tony
Phillips

I have attached a sheet that I am working on. I want cell G1 to be less than or equal to 165. That cell contains a formula. If the formula takes the number to over 165 the validation is allowing it.

I would like to know if it's possible to populate a data validation list based on what is selected from 4 validation lists?
for example:
On sheet1:
If 'Group1' is selected from data validation list1 then data validation list5 will show a list of all items from Group1. If 'Group2' is selected from data validation list2, then data validation list5 will display all the items in 'Group2'...
(I do not want to use a combo box for this)

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 have a range which will change in size & in content, & I want this to be a Named Range at whatever size it is.
Reason I want to is because I want to make a Validation List with this dynamic range. I also want a Validation list which lists the content of 2 or more dynamic ranges which may or may not be on the same worksheet - is this possible?
i.e.
First dynamic range: called "Milestones" at A11
Second dynamic range: called "Activities" at A25
& make a Validation list that will list content of both

I have created a form that pops up when I open a new template. In that form I have inserted a combo box that I want to be able to select data from a separate spreadsheet that is on our server. What code do I need to write to link this data to my combo box. Below is what I have written.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
'Add list entries to combobox. The value of each
'entry matches the corresponding ListIndex value
'in the combo box.
cbSiteAddress.AddItem ("P:AccountsBilling Schedule.xls'MASTER SCHEDULE'!A5:A103")
'Use drop-down list
cbSiteAddress.Style = fmStyleDropDownList
'Combo box values are ListIndex values
cbSiteAddress.BoundColumn = 0
'Set combo box to first entry
cbSiteAddress.ListIndex = 0
End Sub

I'm trying to create a workbook for tracking costs and change orders for multiple subcontractors. My main question is about combo boxes. I would like to create a master list of subcontractors on The masterlists tab of the attached workbook. I would like to use this masterlist as the data source for a combo box I'm going to use to replace the subcontractor txtbox on the SubCoEntryFrm. I figured getting away from a user typing something in would benefit me if I wanted to use that subcontractor name field to analyze data.

I'm attempting to make a simple userform that inputs data onto an existing worksheet. I have the userform but would like to use a combo box to choose a "category" item of data, however I dont know what the categories are! I would like the combo box to, somehow, look at the spreadsheet and read off the already entered categories and offer those as choices.
A picture is worth a thousand words:

Is there a simple way to fill the combo box (using the form initialize I assume) with the existing categories?

I'm trying to amend a chart via combo box. Cell C15 returns a dynamic named range, based on a vlookup.
My problem is in having the code pick up the value that C15 returns, rather than the formula in it.
Set rng = Sheets("Chart lookup").Range("C15")
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=rng, _
PlotBy:=xlColumns

I have a combobox on a form that uses match required. When the user selects this box and does not type in anything then decides to change something else on the form an "Invalid Property value" pops up. Is there a way to get around this. I have tried to add "" to the combobox list but it is still not working properly.

I have a form with a number of fields. There is a field at the top of the form for Part number. When I type in a part number I need the form to auto complete any fields that are linked (if i can link them). E.g., if the part number is 111 then based on info in another table the fields will be auto completed for me.
