    it into the Excel sheet? For instance how many followers you have or the amount of posts you got on said website.

    Thanks for this informative video on the Filter Function but I've been struggling for weeks trying to implement it in my example. I have multiple dependent drop down lists and the list data is in a separate sheet, how to I then reference the second dependent drop down if the drop down is in another sheet and multiple rows? Do I reference it when I create a unique list in the filter function or do I do it in the validation? Any help would be much appreciated folks as it has been driving me crazy for weeks now hehehe

    @seiferflo24 Před 3 lety +2

    First time I follow such a well explained tutorial on Excel. I appreciate the fact you're showing different ways of doing the same thing and that you keep adding to it, really understanding each feature.
    However, I have an issue with the dynamic dropdown list (using offset or not). You're saying at 5:30 that if you rename an item in the "list" it gets updated on the first "sheet". This is only half-true because if you've already selected an item for your sheet, ket's say in your example projet A has "Purchasing" selected, and you modify the name in the list to "Purchase", then your sheet won't show the update... It will get stuck to Purchasing on projet A because it was already selected.
    In my case, this is what's happening, so it's pretty annoying as there is only a link to the cell but not it's content, so I have to make sure my list never changes in terms of terminology. Any idea please? Thx for your help

    Hello! Is there a formula I could use to automatically keep on adding the new value of a cell to it's previous value?
    E.g. I have a dropdown list of a driver's traffic offense in say cell A2. The list is already linked to another sheet such that once I select an offense from the drop down, the related penalty point appears in cell B2 as a value (say 5 points). Upon selecting another offense worth 10 points for the same driver, i need cell B2 to automatically increase to 15 (i.e. 5+10) and on and on...

    Hi,

    My name is Joel and I’ll start off by saying thank you for all of your help this far. I’ve watched your video tutorials, but I had questions and needed help. I hope this catches your interest and you can help me. I know that everyone is busy with their own stuff and if you can’t help me I understand.

    So I’ll start off by describing what I would like to do, much like what you did in some of your tutorials except I don’t know how to apply it to my workbook.
    I have a main page that needs to pull data from different sheets, 220 or so. The way it works is as follows; you select your SPEC from the data validation cell, after that the CATEGORY within that SPEC, then your CHOICES should show.
    I’ve gotten this to work up to the category part. I am stuck on making the “CHOICES Data Validation” part, how to make the choices show since they are in different sheets.

    That’s my most important part I need to figure out. I’ve only populated the first 46 sheets as I didn’t know if this format will even work.
    My second problem is that is that I have been extracting the data from other workbooks by creating a formula in each and every single one then copying and pasting it in their designated spec sheet. Which by the way takes for ever as I have only done 46 of 220 of them. There’s got to be an easier way to do this if not I’ll just keep copying and pasting. I am an excel beginner.

    I would greatly appreciate your help on this and again thanks for all of help this far your tutorials are amazing.

    Bravo

    Great stuff. I am really learning a lot
    I believe you can now select a full table column range. However, it only lists the column row format (i.e. $A$2:A$10). If you add new items to the table, it updates the list.
    However I wouldn’t recommend this way since it doesn’t account for duplicates, blanks, etc. I would use the new dynamic arrays and reference those cells

    The drop down list with the defined tables works great when you add more rows to the table. But if you remove an item from the table then the list gets an empty entry. How can you solve that? Make it so that the drop down list automatically updates when you add and remove entries?
