I literally spent half my work day trying to do this the other way that doesn't include the drop box - but THIS! With the drob box!? Amazing!! And it was soooo easy when i followed your clear directions - thank you!!! Now my spreadsheet is impressive!
everytime I want to share this with anyone, i already anticipate the way they will look at me as I am an excel nerd. No, I keep the magic of excel to myself
PERFECT, Exactly what I needed with less key strokes... The other way I was doing this was writing it into "1" cell then copying and pasting, etc.. etc... BLAH!!!! Your way was a time saver, thank you!!!!!
Good Evening I was trying to do samething but fail now i saw this in youtube display so i watch this video n now my concept is clear Thanks dear respected sir Nice video Keep it up May God bless you with his rehmat Ameen 🏅for you
*Once you do this, how can you tell Excel to GRAB THE DATA and move it to another sheet? Or maybe is there a copy function that will pick ONLY the highlighted cells?*
@@raccoon874 I see. You can use power query automations to extract specific data to a new table/sheet. The thing is the first time you set the algorithm it takes some time but after that if you have cleared all border cases then you have to refresh the queries and it works like a charm.
Of course. Filtering the dataset works great. This exercise highlights the ability of making a choice from a dropdown that automatically highlights that selection.
Wow been looking for this for a while, Thanks! Is there a way to find the unique values of the "department" list without having to make another copy of the list on a separate sheet?
can you help me (great video by the way made my life a lot easier. I use excel to log jobs, dates, costs, and expenses in rows. When a job has been invoiced I mark the whole row with a green background. The problem i am having is that if I mark the last row off green, when I start to fill in details on the row below they automatically show with a green background, can you tell me why and how I can stop this from happening?
Sir, please tell me. How is that applicable on multiple drop-downs column, linked to this whole data table or just a specific column only, from another sheet???
Delete the condition. Ensure you select the ENTIRE sheet. I had the same issue. I’m a Mac and the control + only selected SOME cells. I just dragged my curser to SELECT ALL 👍🏽
thanks you for giving a wonderful information but with me when i do that the above line been highlighted rather then the required line when i click any required department can any one help
I have a large spreadsheet and would like to color each row based upon the value in column A on a second tab. For example: employees are grouped into teams with a representing color. On an accounts list that has the assigned employee in column a - I need for that row of data’s cells to match the team color. There are 3 teams so I would need it to loop back until it’s gone through all colors. Can someone please assist?
Great function. Can you add other columns that match? If I am looking in Dept for toys or electronics that match the region, item # and quantity in this examples. So Toys from SE matching item# 8001 with a quantity of 14 that all match. Since I won't know if any or which ones match can excel search all Depts and compare 3 or more columns? Thanks
HELLO, DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE CONDITIONAL FORMATING TO HIGHLIGH ROWS AND COLUMNS WHEN MULTIPLE CELLS ARE SELECTED. SUCH AS WHEN SELECTED FROM A3 TO D5 WITHIN A RANGE THE COLUMN FROM A TO D AND ROW FROM 3 TO 5 ARE HIGHLIGHTED. THIS NEEDS TO BE DYNAMIC TOO. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Great! What if you want to keep the duplicates on your master data set, but want to Highlight them when your department, item number, and total are the same between rows. So if when you upload the data, row 1 and 2 have the same department, item number, and total, those rows would highlight
Hello I am trying to use your tip from this video to help clean up a data file. I am struggling with creating the conditional format. When I select the item in the drop down list, excel is not highlighting the item selected. If you could help that would be greatly appreciative. Have a great day!
