Hi Everyone!
I am attempting to develop what at first seemed to be a simple scheduling aid in excel 2016 – but can’t seem to find a way to populate a single dropdown list with a conditioned list based on a of range variables on different sheets in the workbook.
The first and primary sheet, Staffing, has days across in columns and lines of service in rows …
The second sheet has a list of service providers in rows and the list of service lines in columns in an x by y matrix which indicates weather the service provider is skilled or not to provide the service. A '0' (zero) meaning not skilled and therefore will not be included in the final list and greater than zero meaning skilled …
The third sheet has a list of the service providers in rows and the service lines in columns which indicates the days the service provideris schedule to work …
The goal is to have on the first (staffing sheet) a dynamic drop-downlist drop down for each service line for each day to assign a service provider that includes all the possible (skilled from second sheet)candidates and are scheduled to work (from the Work Schedule sheet) for the selected service-line for that day. This would be a subset of the complete list of service providers based on data from the secondsheet (Service Providers & Service Lines) further conditioned by the thirdsheet (Work Schedule) sheet.
I attempted to accomplish this using Data Validation,selecting custom and putting a expression in the function field to no avail. Ideally (I think an sql like query in a custom data validation would do the trick but I cat get it to work.
How can this be accomplished in excel?
Thanks!!
