Drop Drop Menus

Oct 5, 2009

I receive inspection sheets from mechanics and I need to start tracking trends. So, let's say the mechanic has marked an "interior" issue and of the 10 potential items that could related to "interior", he has chosen "dirty upholstery" -

Column A is drop down menu with four categories listed:

Interior
Exterior
Transmission
Undercarriage

So in Column A from the drop down menu I pick the main category of Interior. Then it's on to Column B to choose the exact issue of the Interior. When I choose "Interior" in Column A I would like Column B to automatically show me another drop down list with issues that relate only to Interior (i.e. glass, dirty upholstery, torn upholstery, etc.)

that is question #1....

If there are multiple issues on one vehicle, I would then go to Column C, pick another category (i.e. Transmission) and then in Column D, I would like it to automatically display the drop down menu that relates to Tranmission issues (engine oil, air intake, engine wiring, etc.).

User selects option 1

However:
If user selects option 2 from A1
Cell B1 will now have a drop down menu with options X,Y,Z

Drop-down Menus For Each Cell In The Column

Dec 2, 2006

I have an excel sheet with Column H having drop down menus for each cell In the column, starting with H5 going downwards.

The drop-down menu contains around 50-70 options, and what I have to do manually is go to h5 and click on the drop-down menu and select the first value. I then go to h6 and click on the drop-down menu and select the second value. I then go to h7 and click on the drop-down menu and select the third value. I then go to h8 and click on the drop-down menu and select the fourth value.....and so on and so on.....until I have chosen all values in the drop down-menu!

Is there a macro that will just do this automatically? Starting with cell h5 get the first value of the drop down menu, go to h6 and get the second value of the drop-down menu and so on until all the values are chosen?

If you manage this one, I also need to do something similar for column K, but this time select the first value of the drop down menu for k5 AND k6, then get the second value of the drop down menu for k7 AND k8, then get the third value from the drop-down menu for k9 AND k10 and so on.

Conditional Drop-Down Menus/Lists

May 8, 2008

I am trying to create 4 pull down menus. Menus 1, 2, 3, 4. Menu 1 is the top menu, menu 2 will only show certain information based on what was chosen on menu 1. Menu 3 will show certain information based on what was chosen in 2 and 4, again, will only show certain information based on what was chosen in 3. Sort of how the menus on autotrader work, if you chose audi it will only show audi vehicles, although not for the same purpose, or even the same industry. I am using Excel 2007, it might matter. I have attached an xls file that shows the information I am using and below that the basic progression, I haven't listed it all, but you should get the general idea.

Displaying Data Based On Drop-down Menus

Sep 28, 2009

I have a very large database, filled with every job we're working on and all the details about it - duties, employees, vehicles, material-costs, etc.

I am currently working on a 1-page "Summary Sheet", that would be used to wade through all of this info and only give me the information I am looking for on one job. I would like to be able to provide drop-down menus on this "Summary Sheet" so that management can pick the information they'd like to see, and not be bombarded by everything else.

Ideally, what I am trying to do is to have a space on top where somebody could enter the name of the job, and then when they pick an item from the drop-down list, it would pull that info from the database via an "Index/Match". When somebody enters a job-name and picks "Joints Tested" from the drop-down, it will only display how many joints were tested on that job.

I already have the drop-downs created, and have other Index/Match formulas in other spreadsheets (they trip me up a bit, but I can generally fiddle with them until they work correctly), but can't figure out how to make it work this way. My database has headings above each column, and I'm writing those same headings next the different options in the drop-down list, but I can't figure it out.

Cell Change Based On Two Drop Down Menus

Dec 20, 2009

I have two drop down menus: Class Name and Class Period.

Class name returns reading, math, science, or social studies.

Class period returns 1,2,3, 4,5

I need a formula for a cell that will return the name of the first student in whatever criteria is selected by the two drop down menus.

Example: If reading 2 were selected, I would want the name of the first student in reading period 2.

I did start out with nested If's combined with ands, but that is too many nested ifs. I figured there was a better or easier way to do this.

Formula I thought of: =IF(AND(G3="Reading", H3=1), '[Reading 8.xls]Sheet1'!$A6, IF(AND(G3="Reading", H3=2), '[Reading 8.xls]Sheet1'!$D6)) etc.....

But if I use that there would have to be 20 nested ifs, which I think I read someone nested ifs cap at 9.

Populate Drop-Down Based On Another Drop-Down Choice

Oct 25, 2006

Here is what I'm trying to do:

I have 4 sheets:
1 called main
1 called states
1 called counties
1 called people

On "main" I have 1 drop down box and 1 cell:

the drop down lists the states from "states" sheet
the cell, which i would like to have as a drop down is supposed to be listing the counties in the state selected from the 1st drop down. right now it is setting the value to TRUE for testing purposes.

then when the county is selected, it will display the people in that county listed in "people". So far I can only get the 1st drop down to list the states. that's the easy part. i need to getting the counties to list in another drop down based on what state is selected.

Populate Drop-Down Based On Another Drop-Down Selection ...

Dec 5, 2007

Im a fairly basic VBA user who has just purchased the code for J-Walk's Enhanced Data Form.

On other threads in this forum I have noticed a lot of people asking how to make the contents of one drop-down box dependant on the selection in another. I am trying to do the same thing but with the criteria section of the EDF form.

Is this possible? What does give me hope is that a simple Autofilter - whilst not as aesthetically pleasing, does the job well.

Populate Drop-Down Based On Another Drop-Down Selection

Aug 7, 2008

Currently I have columns fixed or assigned to the names of insurance providers/companies.

In each column below the name of the Insurance Company, a combobox containing the plans that company offers. Choose a plan, and the rest of the column is filled in using vlookup.

Now to save space, IE opposed to having 13-15 columns one assigned to each Insurance Company/Provider. I am looking to have only 3-5 columns with a first initial combobox in which one chooses the Name of the Company/Provider, and in turn populate the original combobox and vlookup functionality I already have built in.

Here is an example of what I am working with.

Drop Down List Which Returns Values Based On What Has Been Selected In The Previous Drop Down List In The Adjacent Cell

Mar 19, 2009

I'm trying to create a drop down list which returns values based on what has been selected in the previous drop down list in the adjacent cell, e.g. if 'Apples' is selected in the previous cell then you should only be able to select from 'Gala, Granny Smith', or if 'Oranges' is selected you should only be able to select 'Seville, Blood Orange'. Is there a formula which would do this, or can I use a pivot table somehow? I'm totally stumped.

Drop Down Box In A Cell

Mar 2, 2009

I'd like to have a drop down box in a cell in excel - so you would click on the drop down arrow and choose a name from the drop down. This name would then be displayed in that cell. The idea being that you can only chose a name from the list, and type nothing else in there.

Lookup Name Changes From A Drop Down?

May 15, 2009

I have named six different sets of data with six different names. I have a drop down box that lists these six different names. When I select one of the names from the drop down box, I would like the lookup I have off of this to change to what ever set of data the drop down selection is referring to. Example: I have my first data set named "Data_A", next "Data_B", etc... When my drop down selects "Data_E", i would like my Hlookup equation to change to HLookUp(a1,Data_E,3,false). Is this possible, or am I doing something wrong?

Drop Down In Userform

Oct 19, 2008

Upon click of "Populate Scorecard" button (e.g. on Company X worksheet), would like user to complete the Userform and based on their response, it would add to the appropriate "Month" (selected from the Userform Drop down) in the Scorecard worksheet.

I have started an IF statement for "Jan-08" and was going to copy and paste code for each of the months, e.g "Feb 08, Mar-08 etc", but thought their would be an easier way based on Loops or Call statement. Just not sure how to do this? Can anyone assist with getting me started?

I'm also not sure how to add the code for "Buyer Comments" and "Month" to be added to seperate worksheet (e.g. Company X), if Company X was selected.

Note that i will create a hide sheet statement, so user can select which Company (e.g. X or Y) to select from. The code would then need to correspond with that companies Scorcard worksheet.

Drop Down Box In Cells

Jun 16, 2009

I am trying to create a drop-down box in cells D21 and D22 which are dependent on each other. From my understanding this cannot be done in Data Validation. For example cell D21 is Route Number and D22 is Route name. If someone knows the Route Name they would select it from the drop-down, then cell D21 would fill in the Route Number. Similarly if they know the Route Number the Route Name would fill in.

I am able to have one dependent on the other using Data Validation and VLOOKUP, however not dependent on each other.

Drop Down Box -Goto

Feb 13, 2010

I have a drop down box linked to cell A2 for example, when the change is made on the drop down box the linked cell returns the value 1,2or 3. I'm not sure if I require a code or an 'IF' command - but what I would like to achieve is that say when 2 is selected I want to goto sheet 3 A1, if 3 is selected then sheet 3 A2 and if 1 then nothing happens. Or can I make the function dependant on what the drop down box displays e.g Correct, Not Correct and Requires Change. (1,2 and 3 respectively).
