    @Simon Sez IT What would be a way to avoid the preparation tables and directly incorporate all actions in the Data Validation source field? I tried a few things but failed when the formula involved FILTER.

  • @pogtuber5146
    @pogtuber5146 8 місяців тому

    Only thing I think this could have used it showing how to use a filter that could do AND or OR as well to define conditionals, for instance showing everyone with salaries above a certain range. But this was a great start to creating my filtered lists and has helped me, thank you!

    This was great. I finally got it to work. For some reason having all this on different worksheets caused me some issues. I finally moved my preparation area to where the data was going to displayed but when choosing the columns that are on another worksheet the worksheet names would revert to where I was displaying the data and not where the data was stored. I manually edited them and viola it worked. I am wondering why I shouldnt enter the entire formula into the Data Validation Source without having to have a prep area. Guess I will find out. The biggest pain for me is I should have prepped my data, such as sorting alphabetically before creating the table. That was a pain but a lesson learned. Now that i have it working with the exception when my first drop down changes to another team, the people in the next drop down stays until I show the drop list to change it. I wonder if there is a way for it to show blank when I change the first drop down? Just someone wanting to learn more advanced Excel stuff and thanks in advance

  • @sharonjones9579
    @sharonjones9579 Рік тому

    Great video instructions, I have a slightly more complicated version of this and wondered if it is possible to create a 3rd validation dropdown using a delimited list of Approvers (without having to manually type the delimited list as they are in one column in my table separated by a comma) which is based on values in other fields and if in the vlookup formula you can concatenate two fields. My approver list is not unique as the list of approvers are based on the (entity) + (office ID & office location)(concatenated) and a single approver can be part of the list of approvers for multiple offices. Do you have a forum I can email example to?

    Wonderful video! How do I copy and paste the drop down lists into multiple rows? When i do a normal copy and paste, the drop down lists go out of sync because it is based upon the cells selected for the first row and subsequent drop downs. Is there a way to do it quickly without having to manually change the cell references and having to create new drop downs for each row?

    Good Explanation. Thank you.
    I found that Excel can be broken into two or more views. IF you did that then you could put the info (preparation data) on a second sheet and show both at the same time further enhancing a student's ability to take your tutorial information and apply it in their real world.
    QUESTION: What about when you are inserting a Dependent Drop-Down List into an existing Table? Unfortunately, your destination wasn't a Table (1 row per Job Invoice) whereas your data source was a Table, which was fine. But my real world Table of Client orders [3 Columns: 1) Client drop-down, 2) Type drop-down, 3) VLOOKUP dollar value], fails on the second column even though -F9 picks the correct list items.
    "=TRANSPOSE(OFFSET(Tbl_BCC[[#Headers],[BCC]],1,MATCH([@[Council (Road)]],List_Councils,0)-1,COUNTA(OFFSET(Tbl_BCC[[#Headers],[BCC]],1,MATCH([@[Council (Road)]],List_Councils,0)-1,6)),))" I get a #SPILL! error that doesn't go away, with or without Transpose.
    Nice solution for the last Part - picking single choices (quantities) - V/H/XLOOKUP automagically inserts the matching value.

      Best way I found to do this is to make sure you have a blank cell in one of the categories in your table, unfortunately

    There is Highly likely that two persons have same name, but if we could VLOOKUP using concatenation there would be chances of getting the particular salary.
