I'm using In-Cell-Dropdown in Excel cell, I want Default value "Select" should be shown in the dropdown cell always,If there is no value is selected. please let us know, how to achieve that.
In validation source I have tried that using offset formula, but expected result didn't come. this is the formula I tried.
=IF($F$4=44,OFFSET($Y$4,0,0,Counta($Y$4:$Y$6) -1,1),OFFSET($S$4,0,0,Counta($S$4:$S$8)-1,1))
Try this,
Step 1 : Insert a rectangular shape and refer the shape text from some other cell
Step 2 : Write a formula in the cell that you've referred in the shape
Step 3 : Lock the shape so it doesn't get deleted and then when you select value default selection will disappear and when you delete selection it will appear again.
P.S : If you don't need to retain value after the initial selection you can write a formula like this.
P.s :

Summary tab:
Source tab:
I'm having some trouble using index match combo and getting the data to reference correctly.
what I am trying to achieve is in a tab called "Summary" I have a calendar with range D5:O6. the first cell in the calendar should change everyday to reflect the current date which will change the rest of the row making a rolling calendar. I have a data reference sheet called "PFS" from which the data needs to be referenced.
The thing I'm having trouble with is that with the formula
=INDEX(PFS, MATCH(A8,Snames,0),MATCH(D5,Sdates,0))
is returning the top left intersection (B8 of the source tab) of A8 and D5 values smith, bob & 4-Aug. a cell that i have entered the value "Wrong Corner".
Snames A8:A9, Sdates D5:O5 are the rows and columns containing the dates and names from the Summary tab
what I need help with is why its returning the wrong intersection and what I can do different to get the data I'm looking for.
The correct return would be the number one, which I have conditionally formatted to turn the cell blue and blank the text
You don't show what PFS references to. It seems to start in A1.
You can either use a range that starts in the correct cell, or add the required offset to the Match results.
=INDEX(PFS, MATCH(A8,Snames,0)+2,MATCH(D5,Sdates,0)+2)
Also make sure that Sname and Sdates refer to the ranges in the Source tab, not the Summary tab.
I am working in Excel. I am trying to come up with a formula that is linked to a drop down menu of choices. I have attached an image below that shows a 'Status' column and 'Double Handling' column. My end goal is when you click a status option the corresponding price gets autofilled in the double handling column.
For example Status :Price
Unchecked :$400,
Checked :$600,
Laydown :$200,
in SWO :$200,
Progress :$200,
Paint :$200,
Laydown :$200,
Site :$200,
If you have your Drop Down options on another tab (a Lookup Sheet), then you can put the Price next to them, and use a VLOOKUP
=VLOOKUP(A1,LookupSheet!$A:$B, 2, FALSE)
This also lets you use a Named Range in your Drop-Downs, so that you just have to add or remove items to the Lookup Sheet, and it will automatically update all of your options. The Named Range would need to contain a Function that used INDEX to set the range, like this:
=LookupSheet!$A$1:INDEX(LookupSheet!$A:$A, MAX(COUNTA(LookupSheet!$A:$A), 1))
(If your Lookup Sheet includes a Header Row, then you will probably want to change $A$1 to $A$2, and that final , 1)) to , 2)) instead)
If you don't want to use a Lookup Sheet, you can include the Lookup Table in the function as an array:
=VLOOKUP(A1, {"Unchecked",400;"Checked",600;"Laydown",200;"in SWO",200;"Progress",200;"Paint",200;"Laydown",200;"Site",200}, 2, FALSE)
The whole array goes inside braces (curly brackets, {}), values on the same Row are separated with Commas ({Input,Output}), and Rows are separated with Semicolons ({Input1,Output1;Input2,Output2})
Though it may seem a bit lenghty, if for whatever reason you want to change up amount, I believe you could nicely implement CHOOSE here:
=CHOOSE(MATCH(A1,{"Unchecked Drawing","Checked Drawing","in SWO","Progress Assign LamSar Shop","Progress Assign Subcontractor","Paint","Laydown","Site"},0),400,600,200,200,200,200,200,200)
Range A1 in my formula refers to the cell with the drop-down. Also, when empty, there will be an error (since MATCH cannot find a match). You could counter that with wrapping the formula in an IFERROR(.....,"").
I have text in D1:E2. By using macro after clicking button it is copied to the next cells F1:G2. After that user can edit text in F1:G2. Then by pressing the button (with previously described macro) D1:E2 can be copied again so H1:I2 will be prefilled. So by one clicking macro button code is copying D1:E2 to the next available cells. One click F1:G2, second click H1:I2 etc.
Now I need to display all values from D1:E2, F1:G2, H1:I2, J1:K2 in vertical order so:
Text 1 Text 2 Text 3 Text 4 Text 5 etc
Will be:
Text 1
Text 2
Text 3
Text 4
Text 5
etc
What formula would work the best for that situation? It should also skip empty cells and avoid error messages. So if there is no text in H1:I2, J1:K2 it would just skip them.
Note! Cells D1:E2, F1:G2, H1:I2, J1:K2 are merged and wrapped. If it helps I can edit my model to be D1:E1, F1:G1, H1:I1, J1:K1
Excel formula vertical to horizontal
TRANSPOSE function
Step 1: Select blank cells. First select some blank cells. ...
Step 2: Type =TRANSPOSE( With those blank cells still selected, type: =TRANSPOSE( ...
Step 3: Type the range of the original cells. Now type the range of the cells you want to transpose. ...
Step 4: Finally, press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. Now press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

Ok, thanks goes to Scott Craner and original post can be found here https://superuser.com/questions/1213491/.
Solution is to make row height * 2 (so 13*2=26), unmerge cells vertically and use formula:
=INDEX($1:$1;(ROW(1:1)-1)*2+4)
I am using a ComboBox (basically a drop-down list) in excel, and I would like to select a value from a range. Thing is, I have around 15 of those comboboxes that are linked to the same list, and I'd like to not have to modify the ranges for all of them if I add a value to my list.
Hence my idea of telling the dropdown to take the array given in cell A1 of my data sheet as input for the actual array...
I'm not sure I'm being clear so here's an example : my list is in the range A3:A25. I want to have "A3:A25" written in cell A1, and have my dropdown list take the value of A1 as the actual range, so that if I add an entry to the list I can change A1 to "A3:A26" and not have to change all of my lists.
Thanks in advance
Change the reference to:
=$A:$A
Be sure to tick Ignore blank.
Turns out I just selected my list and called it "List" (right click, -> define name), and defined the input range as "List".
Now if I add a value, I just have to redefine List.
Thanks
I'm facing problem a with Crystal report. I want to display location like
J1 // One by one
J3
in data table. Then I want check condition like if J3 and OT='YES' (OT column from datatbase), if true means I want show J3 as bold.
How can I achieve this?
Right click on the field that displays the J1, J3 and click on Format Object to enter the Format Editor.
In the font tab you can find the Style property as shown below:
Click on the [x+2] button which is on the right side of the style property and write the following code there
if {DataTable1.ColumnName} = "J3" and {DataTable1.OT} = "YES" then
crBold
else
crRegular
Replace the DataTable1 with the name of your data source and the ColumnName with the name of the field that holds the J1, J3.
