=IF(AND(ISBLANK(M5),ISBLANK(N5)),luYes,luNo) =IF(AND(ISBLANK(M5),ISBLANK(O5)),luYes,luNo)įinally in cell O5, carry out the Data Validation steps, however type in the source window this formula: Repeat the above Data Validation procedure steps in cell N5, but type this formula under the source window: This formula will permit the user to select the luYes lookup list, if both N5 (Capital Account) and O5 (Sundry Account) are blank otherwise luNo lookup list will be available, because it assumes one of these two other cells is not blank. =IF(AND(ISBLANK(N5),ISBLANK(O5)),luYes,luNo) This time in the Source window type this formula: Select cell M5 ( “Operating Account”), click Data Validation -> Settings tab -> specify “List” under the Allow area. Remember if you’re creating a multiple radio, it is necessary to account for each other cell in that corresponding group otherwise the radio button will not work properly. If J5 is blank then the user has the luYes lookup list available, otherwise the user has to use the luNo lookup list if J5 is not blank. It is merely the opposite cell referencing of the previous formula reference in J5. Repeat the above steps in Data Validation, but choose cell K5 cell, and type the following formula in the Source window: Alternatively K5 contains the radio button, and therefore the user can only choose luNo lookup list with the blank cell for the adjacent J5. Thus if the adjacent K5 cell (other bank cell for “ XYZ Bank Inc”) is blank, the user can access the luYes lookup list containing the radio button.
In the source window type the following formula: Select Data Validation and on the Settings tab, and choose List for the Allow parameter. It’s defined name is “ luNo” – as in Look Up No.Ĭlick the Cash_Payments worksheet and go to cell J5.
The second table contains just one cell – this is blank. This table’s defined name is “ luYes” – as in Look Up Yes. The first has two cells: the first cell is blank and the second cell contains the radio button. Steps to creating the ‘radio button’ drop-down listįirst, you need to create two lookup tables that are located on the Lookup_Table worksheet. Finally, model users can effortlessly hide cells containing these drop-down lists, whereas Option buttons will often fail to anchor to their specific cell and jump to adjacent cells. This approach can offer greater customisation for the user, unlike the standard Option button in Excel. The adoption of a radio button drop-down list will greatly reduce the file size of the financial spreadsheet. Form Control Option button) need to be inserted across a large array of data.
#HOW TO MAKE A RADIO BUTTON IN MS EXCEL FOR MAC MAC#
Ideal for a company that has users operating either MS Excel or Excel for Mac, given the problems ActiveX macros or forms (like an Option button) experience on a Mac and/or if radio buttons (i.e. Practical business reasons for ‘radio button’ drop-down list vs radio button Refer to the attached Excel file, which outlines the steps to create a ‘radio button’ drop-down list as per this post and video demonstration.
This alternate approach, a ‘radio button’ drop-down list, does not require Excel VBA macros but instead uses the Data Validation tool. On the other hand, an ActiveX or Form Control Option or radio button are less utilised or recognised, and arguably less user-friendly to employ across a large array of cell – unlike a drop-drown list. The drop-down list is a common tool to experienced financial modelling professionals.
