set cell values based on selection from list
I have a list of four options in a cell. I want to control a set of
destination cell values based on the user selection of the options from the list. As an example: option 1 sets the destination cell values to some numbers, where as option 2 may set the values of very same destination cells to some other numbers. When user selects an option from this list I want to do the following: 1) Initially reset the destination cells to zeroes 2) If user sets some values in those destination cells, I want to remember the user set destination cell values, as applicable to selected option and display it next time. I am sure this has been discussed and solved problem. I am new to this. Can someone give the right examples? Thanks Rao |

Your #2 explanation is a bit difficult to follow. Maybe you are talking
about dependent lists. An example of this is that you have a Data Validation cell (first list), that lists the brands of automobiles, say Ford, Chevy, Volvo, etc. Then you have other Data Validation cells with lists that change as a function of the selection made in the first list. Is this what you want to have? If so, maybe this site can help: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html HTH Otto "vhrao" wrote in message oups.com... I have a list of four options in a cell.

set cell values based on selection from list
No I do not want to create dependent lists. Instead I want to control a
grid of 'n' rows and 'm' columns with a set of values (or allow users to key in his values in the grid) when an option is selected from a list. The same grid of very same 'n' rows and 'm' columns should hold another set of values (or allow users to key in another set of values in the grid) when another option is slected from a list.

set cell values based on selection from list
Ok, so you're not looking for dependent lists. When you say you want to
"control" a range of cells, what you refer to as a "grid", means to me that you want to restrict the entries that can be made. In other words, you can enter this but you can't enter that. Then you say the user can enter his own values. Do the same restrictions apply to the user as they do to.........what is the source other than the user? Are all the cells in this grid restricted to the same values or does each cell have it's own allowable list? I'm pretty certain that you will need VBA for this but you will have to furnish a lot more detail about what is allowable for what selection and for what cells.
