Hi Everyone,
Now I thought this would be easy but as it turns out way past my abilitys. so i'm hoping some can help me.
We need to add in up to 30 start and end dates into a grid as shown below.
so above hopefully shows what i'm trying to do,
I need to create To dropdown list these can go anywhere and can be as many rows columns and different as needed to create this list, but lets say the dropdowns will be after column AZ as this is all blank space
So if I was doing this in english, i would decribe it like this,
for start dates I would create a list of every date in 2022 (Called "Possible Start Dates"), then I would say to the formula or macro, Create a list of all the dates from "Possible Start Dates" that are not being used in grid J9 to L38, taking into account that these are start and end dates so any that are between should not show,
so my Start Date Dropdown list is all dates in 2022 that have not already been alocated.
then for End date drop down i would say, show all dates again but only if they are after the start date for this row.
I hope thats clear, I'm open to any ideas you might have and dont mind if its a Macro that get triggered on change, or a formula that creates my dropdown.
Please help if you can
Thanks
Tony
