Hi all

I'm working on a simple project management tool for work. Nothing fancy, and no need for gantt or equal.

I have found multiple ways to do multiple lists so that is not a problem. The filter function does not work with the VBA function I used. I will link the code below.

Is there a smart way to be able to add multiple values to a cell and being able to filter out the individual value?

The typical list is names (project members) bound to a project. The cell needs to include more than one name and each person must be able to filter out his own name to see own tasks.


VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rngDV As Range
Dim oldVal As String
Dim newVal As String
Dim strVal As String
Dim i As Long
Dim lCount As Long
Dim Ar As Variant
On Error Resume Next
Dim lType As Long
If Target.Count > 1 Then GoTo exitHandler

lType = Target.Validation.Type
If lType = 3 Then
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    newVal = Target.Value
    Application.Undo
    oldVal = Target.Value
    Target.Value = newVal
    If Target.Column = 3 Then
        If oldVal = "" Then
        Else
            If newVal = "" Then
            Else
                On Error Resume Next
                Ar = Split(oldVal, ", ")
                strVal = ""
                For i = LBound(Ar) To UBound(Ar)
                    Debug.Print strVal
                    Debug.Print CStr(Ar(i))
                    If newVal = CStr(Ar(i)) Then
                        strVal = strVal
                        lCount = 1
                    Else
                        strVal = strVal & CStr(Ar(i)) & ", "
                    End If
                Next i
                If lCount > 0 Then
                    Target.Value = Left(strVal, Len(strVal) - 2)
                Else
                    Target.Value = strVal & newVal
                End If
            End If
        End If
    End If
End If

exitHandler:
  Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
If it is easier to add a search cell in the top (where you hide non-relevant rows) then it is just as good :)
