Trying to create an excel spreadsheet which will allow me to select an option at the top of the page (a dropdown) which will be a list of names. I then want a grid below to be able to show (as an example) an individuals results over a month. This is a preference as I didn't want to have to go through multiple pages to view individual information and rather see it all in one location.
Thank you ! :)
Use a data validation linked to the range of student names on another sheet and then an INDEX, MATCH or VLOOKUP formulas to populate the table from the other sheets..

I have an Excel file including thousands rows as follow. First column includes names and second column include group of each. I want to have all names belong to group "A" at another sheet dynamically. because name and group list may be changes. In other words, what command or function I should use to list all names belong to group "A"?
There are 3 ways to do this. The options are below. One thing you did not include in your question is what the results should look like.
Equations like =FILTER(A:B,B:B="A")
Pivot tables to use this convert data to table, then create pivot table. This requires refresh when new data is added.
Power query to use this convert data to table, then go to Data>From Table/Range. This requires refresh when data is added but you can change the "connection properties" under Data>Refresh AllĖ
.
Now if you want all in group "A" to be listed with in one cell, then I would use option 3 with groupby as talk about here.
If the answer works for you the expectation is that you checkmark it and upvote it. If the answer does not work for you add a comment at the bottom and the problem you experience. For your situation you will need to adapt the answer.
I have an excel file with two sheets. The second sheet (Report) contains data validation cells based on the first sheet (Data). From the second sheet, the drop-down list that displays in the Select XXX depends on the selection in the Generate Report. When the Generate Report is set to anything beyond the first five in its list, the "Select XXX" displays year as a default list (no problem with this) via the code ...INDIRECT("Year").... The problem is that excel does not allow for addition of more code (seems I hit the limit). The question is - how can I manipulate this code to accommodate every option in the Generate Report? or perhaps, is there another method to implement?
The data validation source code for the drop-down list is =IF($B$4=Data!$Q$5,INDIRECT("Client"), IF($B$4=Data!$Q$6,INDIRECT("Month"), IF($B$4=Data!$Q$7,INDIRECT("Product_Service"), IF($B$4=Data!$Q$8,INDIRECT("Sector"), IF($B$4=Data!$Q$9,INDIRECT("Trans_Type"),INDIRECT("Year"))))))
Please, see the sample file at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VKkGHjlJzLQqx4J9kyd_bCKG4r0Q7HkG/view?usp=sharing
What you could do is put the range names in column R, and VLOOKUP them:
=IFERROR(INDIRECT(VLOOKUP($B$4,Data!$Q$5:$R$9,2,FALSE)),INDIRECT("Year"))
You could then have as many item lists as you wish.
Is it possible somehow to do the following in Microsoft Excel?
Every list has a single table with its own Header:
Table may be of any size, and number of such lists is unknown in advance.
I need to gather all those tables in the very first list which is called "Main" so that each table just followed by another like this:
I need it only for printing, so sorting and another stuff like this is unnecessary.
Microsoft Excel - 2019.
I think you can achieve what you are after using named ranges per this video.
The ranges are then accessible from the dropdown to the left of the formula bar.
I find it easy to select area of tables first, then define a named range based on currently selected area, rather than entering it in the prompt per the video.
1. Insert -> Name -> Define Name
If you have a workbook with multiple sheets you can define names on any sheet, So lets's say table1 was in sheet1, and table2 in sheet2. If sheet1 was the active sheet, you could still select the named range of table2, and Excel will automatically flip sheets for you and select that area as if you had just highlighted the region.
Later when it comes to printing, select the named area, and the say
2. File -> Print Area -> Set Print Area
Then do:
3. Print and instead of selecting Active Sheet use Selection
(I am talking about doing it on a Mac V16.22 - but should be similar on Windows too)
EDIT:
There is IMPORTRANGE in Google Sheets.
Not sure if something similar in Excel was what you were after.
So take a look at this too.
How to change Excel sheet source dynamically depending on particular values?
I am developing an Excel sheet. Depending on one dropdown value, fields of other dropdown should change dynamically.
Suppose I choose one value from dropdown1, dropdown2 should get certain column from "Sheet2" and if I choose another value from dropdown1, dropdown2 should get certain column from suppose "Sheet".
How can I achieve this?
This should be related to Excel formulas I guess.
Just follow this tutorial
Create lists
Give lists a name
Use data validation to create dropdown
Use indirect when creating new data validation
I have a table with the following headings on Sheet 1:
List of Areas-----List of Defects
And a table like the following on Sheet 2:
Area-----Defect-----Cause-----etcetera
I want to create a dropdown list on Sheet 2 for defects that refers to the table on Sheet 1 and shows only the defects for the respective area.
The problem is that there are a lot of areas and each area has many defects, so for example Area A may appear 10 times on the first table.
What have I already tried?
Creating a sepearate table for every Area, however there are too many areas and it is not worth it
Creating a named range, however, new defect will be constantly included on the first table
I also tried the =OFFSET(INDEX(Table1;MATCH(F5;Table1[List of Areas];0));;1;COUNTIF(Table1[List of Areas];F5)) combined with the indirect command.
However given that the tables are in diferent sheets i cannot acces them.
How can I fix this?
