I have following threes excel sheets in a single workbook:
Range1_Sheet (A1:A5 contains the data that need to be displayed in
drop-down)
Range2_Sheet (A1:A5 contains the data that need to be
displayed in drop-down)
List_Sheet (This sheet shows a drop-down containing all values that lie in above two ranges).
I successfully did this using one range/sheet. But i was wondering how list can be populated from two different sources?
Here's the same question but only an answer for Google Spreadsheet Can I create a drop down list with data from multiple sheets
Try this - Data Validation:

Maybe this?

It explains the way with 2 different workbooks but should work with just one workbook and multiple Sheets, too.

I have two unrelated sheets. One sheet is what holds a backlog of names, dates, and locations. The other sheet is an authentication sheet where a sticker number is assigned to one of the names one the first sheet. I can't combine the two in one sheet and have two tabs because I need to import the second sheet everyday and it can't have another tab added in.
I want to be able to have the second sheet 'scan' the first sheet file and pull information automatically. So if sticker 001 has Bob Jones, the code scans the manifest for his 'location' and 'date' and then automatically fills sticker 001.
I have no idea how to write code so I'm just curious if it's possible to grab informatoin from a different file or if both tabs need to be under one sheet.
I have two different sheets in a workbook with data, all of this data is organized by Site ID's. What I want to do is use these site ID's to create a hyperlink in one of the data sheets that when clicked takes the user to the corresponding Site ID in the other sheet. The sheet name where I want to write the hyperlinks to is called "Report_Manual" and I want to write hyperlinks down every row down the first column. The sheet that I am hyperlinking to is called "Data". The premise Ids are located in column C for sheet "Report_Manual" and column K in sheet "Data". Below is an a ttempt of what I was trying to generate in excel for a single cell formula however the issue I ran into for this formula is that the Premise ID's in sheet "data" are variant data type while the Premise ID's in sheet "Report Manual" are integer data type. This makes even a simple formula like the one below not get any matches as the data types being matched aren't the same.
=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",INDEX(Data!K3:K580001,MATCH(C3,Data!K3:K580001,0))),C3)
If anyone has any idea of a macro to solve this issue that would be extremely helpful.
If the IDs in "Data" are text, try changing your match lookup value to text:
=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",INDEX(Data!K3:K580001,MATCH(TEXT(C3,0),Data!K3:K580001,0))),C3)
I am just a beginner in VBA. I am trying to copy some data from one workbook that is updated daily to a master woorkbook and generate a report. I want it to first filter one of the columns for nonzero values and copy it with three selected columns for example columns T,C,N. I have looked everywhere for an answer but I haven't succeeded yet. Please help.
You can check if a given cell has value 0 by something like this If Sheets(sheetname).Cells(rownumber,columnnumber)=0 Then
You haven't specified what do you want to do on the other workbooks with the cells that were empty.
I have an original excel file that I have ran a simulation that inputs financial data. I made a copy of this file, and wired the formulas up differently to try and increase calculation performances.
I now have 2 workbooks, the original and the final. I want to compare each sheet from each of the workbooks together to make sure that the financial numbers have remained the same, to make sure the new formulas are not effecting the numbers received.
I have tried to put copies of the two sheets into one workbook, name them April12 and April15. Then insert a third sheet. In cell A1 of the third sheet, I wanted to use the formula
=April12!A1=April15!A1
to get TRUE/FALSE values. But the formulas in these sheets reference many other sheets that are not in this new workbook, so all of my numbers turn up as #REF.
Iv googled many different ways of approaching this but I cant seem to get any of them to work. Does anyone know a simple way I can compare just the values from 2 sheets from 2 different workbooks to find out if the numbers have remained the same or have changed?
Note:I am using excel 2010.
I think you already know how to verify data using formula so is the problem to refer to a row in a different workbook ? if so, following might be helpful :
=[yourFile.xls]SheetName!$Col$Row
this way you can update your formula like(yourFile.xls refers to the complete path including the file name) :
=[file1.xls]April12!A1=[file2.xls]April15!A1
VBA is a programming language so I'll assume this question is ok on SO.
What API calls and other techniques can I use, to extract specific tables from an MS-Word document?
I need to write a program which will open several Word documents, and look inside for tables which have a certain text in Row 1 Column 1, and output those tables to another file, preferrably as cells in an Excel spreadsheet.
Is this possible? How would you tackle this? Where to start?
Thanks
The Document.Tables collection contains all tables in a document.
Each Table in this collection has certain properties, such as .Rows, .Columns, or .Cell, which give access to a given row, a given column or a given cell.
The Table.Range.Copy method copies the given table to the clipboard.
The Worksheet.Paste method pastes the copied table into an Excel sheet, using the currently active cell as the insertion point.
