I have 2 columns. Column B contains 15 of my option button (Not sure if this'll affect but I just inserted one button and dragged the cell down to get 15 so the name for each option button is different). Column C contains the text values I have (contains VLOOPUP formula to give Yes, No or Perfect).



I want to make the option buttons unclickable (and preferably grayed out) if the value in column C is "No"


All that help I read that makes an unclickable option buttons uses macro. I've never used macros before, so if your solution is via macros, I would appreciate if you would explain it too.

Thanks.

Help anyone? Or maybe someone can post an alternative method instead of using option buttons?

Unable to edit my first post. Anyways, since it's been close to a week and I still haven't been able to solve this, I've cross-posted this question to another website. http://www.excelguru.ca/forums/showt...based-on-value

Perhaps using form controls might help?

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I can't use those. I have the VLOOPUP in column C because their values changes according to a previous step I have. If I use other types of form control, the user wouldn't be able to see which is "Perfect" and which is "No" or "Yes"

It's rather complex but I'll try to break it down.

The big picture is something like, there are 10 baskets. Depending on what kind of baskets the user wants, which he fills in the factors in different sheet, to generate the answer in column A. Based on column A, column C would give the "Perfect" value. Of course, the user could get other similar baskets, which "Yes" comes in at. Then there are baskets that don't fit at all, so "No". Column D would just have the baskets names. Eg. C1, Yes, D1, Basket Red; C2, No, D2, Basket Blue; C3, Yes, D3, Basket Orange. The values in column D don't change.

I have the option buttons in column B, next to the values (Yes, No, Perfect) so the user can pick whether they want the perfect basket or other similar ones.

That's not where it ends. In column E, I have a table that shows the details of the basket the user would select in column B (the option buttons). That's why I need option buttons, because the user must select only one item at a time.

What I want is to make the option buttons in columnn B unclickable/unable to select if the value in column C gives "No". Or something similar. Cause column E doesn't care for the value in column C, only what the user pick in column B. And I don't want the user to "Opps, I didn't know that baskets wasn't my type. I could select it so it's your fault!"

I'm not very familiar but I don't think the form controls works because the values in column C changes.

Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!
