Advanced list facility (Excel or VBA)

Hi,

I have included some list filters in an excel document (using advanced filters) to restrict what can be typed into my file. However the file is huge despite only having filters and no data.

Is there an alternate way - perhaps by VBA - to include this option of lists.

Using VBA, the ideal is that the person can use drop down boxes to pick customers etc and this populates a row - they should then be able to update other boxes in the same row manually.

Obviously when they go to the next row, they should have the same pop up box....but now amending the new row.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hello Varuni

okay thanks for your post which we have reviewed with interest.

The outcomes you are trying to achieve are possible however beyond the scope of this forum.

This sort of work can be addressed by one of us spending at least a day with you. This would be consultancy and thus billable. If you would like to investigate this further please contact us directly to discuss.

kind regards

Jacob

Excel tip:

Creating custom lists

In Excel if you type in January in a cell, you can then copy this cell to replicate Febraury, MArch, April etc.

This list has come from Tools- options and Custom lists.

Therefore to save time and create your own list you can click on New (in Tools and custom list tab) and type out the lsit that you want copied quickly.

All you have to do is then type in the 1st word and you will be able to copy the rest of the list quickly.
