excel show custom vlookup tooltip/popup/comment on over cell - excel

Hope you could help, don't know if its possible.
I'm using Excel to create a layout with some ID's in that layout.
Since it's a layout, I can't just show all information needed as it's too much, so, I would like with a click in that cell or when mouse hover it shows a tooltip/comment with a custom vlookup that search that ID in another sheet. When the user click in a empty cell or takes mouse point to an empty cell the tooltip/comment disappear.
Already make some searches but couldn't find anything. Any suggestions in how to achieve this?
Thanks.

When the all cells are editable, unable to select row

Neither select-row work nor row-click works when the cell are editable. Anyway to get row selected?
If I click inbetween the cells then it works but it's not practicle click small space inbetween cells.
You really need to show an example of what you are trying to do. A JSFiddle would be helpful. Still if I'm following correctly what you want to add to your table layout is:

"Row Handle
The handle formatter fills the cell with hamburger bars, to be used as a row handle
{title:"Example", field:"example", formatter:"handle"}"

Can you color individual items in a data validation drop-down list in excel?

It's as simple as this. Say I want to color "COPT" and "RAT GCU" Yellow can I color just those?
I tried conditional formatting tricks and they all work after the drop down item is selected.
I want the colors to be loaded only to certain list items to appear as soon as I click the drop-down arrow.
I'm not sure if this can be done but...
Additionally would anyone know the syntax to click a button to set the value of the list back to displaying "Please select"???? I already have a reset button that unfilters everything. So if I tie it to that button I think it'd work like a charm. I just don't know how to go about selecting the listbox as it's a data validation one and I can't seem to figure out how to define/declare the listbox and can't find it's name anywhere.
There is no way to color items in the DV list. If you want the cell to show "Please Select" when no choice was made, all you can do is enter that literal text into the cell. An empty cell will remain empty.

In Excel, is there a way to link a dropdown menu to specific data?

Essentially what I have done so far is create a dropdown menu using the Data Validation tab within the 'Data' tab in Excel. Using a SS I will show what exactly I'm trying to do.
If this can also potentially be done with a vba macro please let me know.
Essentially, when I change the data (where the blue arrow is) I want different data values to appear in the table (in the red circle) for each different item in the dropdown box
Please let me know if this is possible in Excel, thanks in advance for the help!

Excel 2007: Using Excel Tooltip to display cell data?

I can usually find an answer to the problems I'm having via a quick google search, but this one I'm struggling to even form the question in order to locate an answer.
I'm trying to find out whether it is possible to use Excel Tooltips to display cell data. For example, on mouse over: a tooltip appears displaying the cell values from selected cells, preferably with some plain text but not essential.
i.e. I have an overview table which simplifies data from another table but want said cell values to appear on mouse over.

Is it possible to override Excel 2007's right click functionality and replace it with a custom menu?

I'm working on a forecasting spreadsheet and I'd like it to make it as easy as possible for my forecasters to edit the forecast. I'm hoping to develop some custom VB that will allow the user to highlight a group of cells (in one particular row) and then right-click to display a menu that includes various methods of adjusting the highlighted cells:
increase by 10%
add 2 to each highlighted cell
spread an inputted value evenly to highlighted cells
and others
Questions:
How do I override Excel's right click functionality so that when my forecasters right click, they get the forecast adjuster menu form instead of Excel standard formatting menu.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a cell adjuster similar to what I am describing.
Thanks for you assistance.
I use this to edit my right click menu:
