Excel Drop Down lists
I've created a spreadsheet with a drop down list, however, i want the user
to be able to select an from a list of options, which would then poplulate
the cell with an associated code
If they selected "slate" from the list below, the information put into the
cell would be SL, any idea or advice on how i do this?
Kindest regards
Marta
Slate SL

Begin by selecting that cell and choosing Data Validation again and go to the
[Error Alert] tab and clear the checkbox that says to show an error message
when an entry not in the list is entered into the cell.
Put code similar to this into the worksheet's event code module and edit it
as needed:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'change this address as required
'this is the address of the cell with
'the list to select from in in and
'for this purpose you must include
'the $ symbol before the column & row
'portions of the address
If Target.Address <> "$D$1" Then
'not the right cell
Exit Sub
End If
Select Case LCase(Target.Value)
'make sure you spell the
'words in the list in
'all lowercase for the
'tests here
Case Is = "slate"
Target = "SL"
Case Is = "steel"
Target = "ST"
Case Is = "silver"
Target = "SI"
'add more Case Is =
'statements as needed
Case Else
'do nothing
End Select
End Sub
To put the code in the right place, select that worksheet and right-click on
its name tab and choose [View Code] from the list. That will open up the
proper code module and you can copy the code above and paste it into the
module, make needed edits and then close the VB editor.

Excel: extract and sum numerals from mixed text/numeral cell range
I have a large (30x20) grid of cells with data, and I want to extract and then sum up certain numerals from this entire range. The catch is that the data is mixed numerals and text, as you'll see below. Here's an abbreviated 3x3 example, with a value in each of the nine cells: V7.1 T H P1 A T B V3 P4.5 If I just wanted to sum up the instances of "T" appearing, I could use COUNTIF() for the entire range to come up with answer ("T" appears 2 times). Easy enough. But, what I'm trying to accomplish is to sum up the numerals associated w...
Error in formula displayed for linear and 2nd order curve fits in Excel 2003

In both cases, the displayed formulas have their 1st and 2nd order coefficients wrong by a factor of 10!! (I have read lots of posts about increasing precision but this is not what I am up against).
