Very good post! I real time experience I had faced a problem with one of my friend who is unable to change the date in excel sheet. When I tried to modify, its shows the same date not the modified one….Actually that excel sheet in version 2003 and he upgraded to 2007….From the day of up-gradation onwards he is facing the problem…..Can you please help me out in this issue..

Thanks & Regards

I don’t know of another palette tool. I don’t think it would be too hard to incorporate the ability to save custom palettes from the utility’s interface, rather than by manually editing the worksheet. I’ll put it onto my to-do list, which is only, oh, ten thousand items long.

Jon – great list of must have Excel add-ins. In recent weeks I’ve been working my way through it and keeping almost every one. A couple including PUP6 were already favorites of mine.

BTW, does no one offer a free color palette manager add-in for classic Excel that is, well, more powerful than your PaletteChooser.xls file? (Yours is great — and free — but doesn’t automatically save and name the current palette.)

I’m not sure if you’re asking a simple question or if you need help coding your project. I’ll assume it’s the former.

You can use a dynamic range for your data validation list source.

If you’re using VBA for dynamically creating worksheets, then you can use a few more lines to control population of thesee or other lists.

Working in excel. I am using several worksheets with a drop down menu that define the users process, and a separate worksheet that helps them to calculate the cost of their processes.

I now want to tie all this information together, but the users may have varying processes.

So, I created a new worksheet where the user can define up to ten different processes. 5 processes and 5 hot processes.

From this newly created worksheet, I want the other worksheets to use this list as their dropdown menu. The data validation list function only lets you create a list already in the workbook. I want the drop-down lists not to show any blank cells, too.

In some of the worksheets where I do use data validation lists, the worksheets are dynamically created – meaning I have dialog boxes that are telling the program to insert or delete rows with text/formulas.

Ultimately, I want my summary table to summarize the costs of each line item by water type.

Any suggestions on how I approach this issue?

Thanks,
CKZ
