Drop Down List in Excel
Hello,
I need to analyse survey data in excel. I can make a drop down list in Excel, via Validation, and get the option to enter one choice. However, one question asks respondents to select "all" that apply. I do not know how to do this, there are anything from one to six selections. The ideal choice would be to be able to selct more than one rather than have to enter each choice as a new column. Any help would be much appreciated Thanks |

Drop Down List in Excel
maybe this would work, if your dropdown menu is in A1 and the formula is in B1 =IF(A1="a",1,IF(A1="B",2,IF(A1="c",3,IF(A1="d",4,I F(A1="e",5,IF(A1="all",6,"")))))) -- davesexcel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ davesexcel's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31708 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=555539 |

Drop Down List in Excel
As answered in microsoft.public.excel.worksheet.functions:
You can do this with data validation and programming. There's a sample file he http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html Under Data Validation, look for 'Select Multiple Items from Dropdown List' Andyroo wrote: Hello, I need to analyse survey data in excel.

Drop Down List in Excel
Look at that page again, at that topic (Data Validation) and it's down in the
list if you scroll down about 1/3 of the way. You could do [ctrl]+F and search for Select Multiple Items from Dropdown List on that page and it'll take you right to it. The link to the sample file is this: http://www.contextures.com/DataValMultiSelect.zip "Andyroo" wrote: Hi, I can`t find "Select Multiple Items from drop down List", any other suggestions ?

Drop Down List in Excel
I downloaded and ran the macro. I definitely need to learn how to do
something similar to what shown on "SameCell" sheet. However, I am having problems using the VB code to my own sheet. I did copy the VB code from DataValMultiSelect.xls (right click on "SameCell" tab - View Code), then paste it to my sheet Book1.xls (right click on "Sheet 3" tab - View Code). What are the next steps? How do I use it on specific cells/columns? How do I change the default selection values of One, Two, Three, and so on? Can I have different values on what the drop-down displays and what actually selected (similar to HTML Form Select)? For example: the dropdown displays the list of options as One, Two, Three, etc. Once, one of these options selected, the actual value is either B1, B2, B3, etc correspondingly.

Drop Down List in Excel
To have the code work on a specific column (e.g. column C), you could
change this line: If Intersect(Target, rngDV) Is Nothing Then to If Target.Column = 3 Then To use a different list of items, you can follow the instructions he http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal01.html And to select one item, and show a different value, you could incorporate the code in the sample file he http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html Under Data Validation, look for 'DV0004 - Data Validation Change' Lamb wrote: I downloaded and ran the macro.
