Auto select drop down menu item based on a cell value
Hi all, Is there a way to populate or auto-select a drop-down menu item in one cell based on another cell's value? eg. The difference between two other cells is a positive value, so I would like...
I suggest you start from scratch. In version 3, delete the formulae at the bottom of the data table (rows 10 to 42). These cause Excel to see 33 records with a blank date. Hence, it adds a blank year (the check box without a year number) to the filter window.
Now convert your data table (Ctrl-T) into a so-called structured table. If you now enter a new date in column E, the table will automatically expand and copy down the formulae from the previous row.
Then, change the data source for the PT to this table, called "Table2" in the attached example. It will also avoid blanks. Referring column A:H is okay as well, but then you'll end up with the blanks that need to be filtered out.
When the amount in column H (CNTRCTL) is positive, I would like the drop-down menu in that same row, adjacent cell to auto select as 'PD PROJ', when negative, as 'CR BIDLN'. This is a payroll help sheet for pilots. The totals in column H are derived from the difference (if there is one) between the associated, row amounts in columns F & G.
Thanks for the work on this; however, I can't get it to work. I also noticed that the drop-down menu seems to now be locked; ie. once a selection is made, it can't be changed. Great tip though on keeping all the entries on a separate sheet!
What do you mean by “can’t get it to work”? Is the drop-down list not returning the results you expected? I deliberately precluded selecting another item when one has already been selected.
Also, presumably, the coding would prevent a different, manual drop-down menu selection as long as there are values in F9 and G( cells forcing it to make thees pre-determined selections? That would be fine
