Using list values as variable in secondary formulae... best way?
Been struggling with this for a few hours and not making much progress, hoping someone can help me out. I've got an analysis XLS that has a bunch of interviews and a bunch of analysis pages that look at aggregate responses for the questions across all the scripts. What I'm trying to do is build a section in each of the question analysis pages that will allow the user to select one of the other questions from a drop-down menu/list and then see the intersection between the current page's question and the selected question. For example, say the user is on the sheet for "Question 36" and wants to see how people who answered this question answered Question 43. I want to allow them to pick Question 43 in the pull-down and then have that selection cause both the vertical key (labels) and data points to change commensurately. The easiest way to do this (in my mind) is to tie each list entry to the question number and appropriate row, and then to reference them centrally from teh analysis fields. That way when the user changes it and updates, the calculations should all refer to the new variable. What I can't figure out is how to do this in Excel... I basically need a list with a label and two hidden values, and I then need a way to reference those values from the various dependant cells. Thoughts? Is there a good way to do this? Also, how do you create lists that can be shared between sheets? Having trouble just figuring that out... Thanks for any help. -rt |

Using list values as variable in secondary formulae... best way?
Took a snapshot of the component I'm talking about and building in the hopes it helps to illustrate what I'm trying to do. Click the link below to see the gif. http://www.tilghman.net/ConvergenceTool.gif Basically I want to give the user the ability to select from a defined list ("Data Point Name" with the arrow), and then have the labels along the top and the data values change appropriately. I can do this by just providing the right variable, I just have to figure out how to provide that variable when a value in the pull-down is selected. Thanks, Rick |
