I've created a workbook on whose main sheet there are three activex comboboxes. The first one contains a list of years, and the second one contains a list of months. The user selects the year, and it goes to its linked cell. The user then selects a month, and using the Combobox_Click event, should run a sequence of 7 macros (i.e. using the "call updateinformation1" macro, which is the first of the seven updateinformation macros).
The sequence of macros ran fine before I added the comboboxes. After adding the comboboxes, the final (7th) macro somehow goes back to the first macro and then causes a "ClearContents method of Range class failed" error on the "Selection.ClearContents" line. These are the first and seventh macros:
Sub updateinformation1()
'clears previous information to make way for new information
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
I can't for the life of me figure out why it's looping back to the first macro instead of just stopping after the seventh. I have other workbooks that do something similar, and I don't have this problem. Am I missing something?
successfully use Activex combobox on the worksheet, (excel 2003) without the code from other boxes being triggered at random.
Or should I give this up, and use a form to house these controls? ( I have no Knowledge on this)
I've tried certain IF then statements to protect the excecutable, but it seems, that, even boxes in other books are looked at, with a simple call statement (to a macro in module)
Having a real problem in Isolating these things.
Try to get the code to activate when you select the same Item twice, It seems none of the procedures do this. I made a workaround with using two procedures, but it's a bit clumsy.
I have an application were I would like to use an Active X combo box instead of a regular dropdown list. The list contains 64 items and the text becomes very small in a standard dropdown list. Using an Active X Combo Box allows me to enlarge the text for easier viewing but with 64 items the list tends to run off the sheet. Is their a switch or some other way (scrolling) to make it more viewer friendly?
I am trying to use a combo box with a defined list I have in another worksheet.
I was able to name and populate the list into the combo box, but am trying to work a macro into it.
I have a large data sheet with with many columns. In this worksheet, I also placed the combo box. What I would like to do is to be able to click on a name in the combo box and have it filter Column H, where there are many data points.
For example, In column H I have Apples, Watermelons, Peaches, etc.
In the combo box list, I would like to click on Apples and Column H list only the Apple names. Then if I want to click on Watermelons, it would filter Column H to only those which have Watermelons listed...
I have 100 combo boxes on an excel sheet, they are divided in three sets (1-25, 26-50, 51-100). Each set has the same value within the set, but is different from the other.
Right now I am able to populate the combo boxes using the following code
Code: ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.AddItem "Value1" ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.AddItem "Value2" ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.AddItem "Value3" ^ This is time consuming and error prone. Is there a way I can use a variable to populate the combo boxes?
I have been able to find the following code, but it does not work.
Code: Dim ComboBox As ObjectFor ComboBoxCalc1 = 1 To 25 Set ComboBox = ComboBox(ComboBoxCalc1).Select ActiveSheet.ComboBox(ComboBoxCalc1).AddItem "Value1" ActiveSheet.ComboBox(ComboBoxCalc1).AddItem "Value2" ActiveSheet.ComboBox(ComboBoxCalc1).AddItem "Value3" Next
I'm wanting to use the drop-down combo box as a simple way for the user to choose what type of search they wish to perform on the spreadsheet. The search algorithm chosen depends upon the current value show in the combo box.
I have a name list on sheet2, column A that will have names added to and removed from. Everytime this list is modified it sorts in ascending order and creates a new sheet named after the name added. These items are added to an ActiveX combo box on sheet1. I need to know how to link the item in the combo box to the corresponding sheet(ex: item: "Jim", sheet name: "Jim").
Since Form Controls comboboxes don't allow font editing, I need to switch to ActiveX...
The combo box values come from the following cell range:
tbl_arrays!$I$3:$I$6
Those values are, from top to bottom: "select distance", "50 Miles", "100 Miles", "150 Miles".
The following macro is also assigned to the combobox:
[Code].....
I have two issues. The first is that the macro doesn't seem to be working. It is supposed to filter a list of cities within 50, 100 and 150 miles of a user input zip or city. The original Forms Control combo works but not ActiveX after I put the code in the change event:
[Code] .........
The second issue is that the last clicked value in the ActiveX comboBox replaces the top one.
Ex: from top to bottom, the combobox should display:
[Code] ........
but if the user clicks "100 Miles", the combobox is then going to display
[Code] ......
If the user then select "50 Miles", the box displays:
I have a golf teetime reservation spreadsheet. For each tee time there can be up to four players names so I use 4 columns. Times are listed in rows every 10 minutes beginning 6am until 5pm for a total of 66 rows per day. I have a member/customer list that I have on a separate sheet that I've named. I am using the ActiveX combo box next to each possible entry (so 4 columns times 66 rows = 264 combo boxes). It's a little slow and takes a long time to open. I like the ActiveX combo box because it allows me to define the box format and display and it allows search/read/write capability. The idea is the customer calls, I ask what time they want and we arrive upon an available time. I ask for a last name, I click the combo box, type the first letter of the first name and then scroll if necessary to the name and click it to add the name to the time/player cell. If no name in my list we simply type it in and I'll capture it next time I refresh my customer list.
way to dynamically define the linkedcell in the properties so that instead of 264 combo boxes, I might have one combo box that I can click on and then direct my selection to the cell I want it to go into.
I've searched the web and OzGrid all day, and still have this question: what is the equivalent for .OnAction when using a ComboBox as shown in the code below. Everything else works as desired.
ActiveX control? (=EMBED("Forms.ComboBox.1","") They are filled using named ranges on another worksheet and work fine. The problem happens when I share the workbook the combo boxes become completely non-functional. They don't even drop down when clicked.
MFI is the named ranged that is referencing a column of data. This works, but I want to be able to change the MFI to a different named ranged.
So what I am trying to do is using an ActiveX Combo box so I can reference the named ranges that I have set, for example MFI, so each time a user chooses MFI or another named range, it will output to a linked cell (A1). Then the linked cell will be referenced into this forumla.
Is it possible for A1 to be linked to the named range, so if the user choses MFI in the combo box, it will change all AverageIFS formulas to look at a different named range.
Code: Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() ActiveSheet.Rows("3:62").Hidden = False Range("D1").Value = ComboBox1.Text End Sub
I get a runtime error '1004' when I make my combo box selection. I don't have any security or password protection type stuff. The combo box is part of a more complicated spreadsheet and I don't want to switch to a data validation type drop down and I really want it to be activeX.
Using the developer tab I inserted an Active X combo box. Under properties I referenced a 'linked cell' that I want the data to appear in. This box works great as long as I keep the sheet open. Once I save and close the workbook and re-open, that reference is lost. It shows #REF! in that field. Why does it lose the reference? I have tried to reference a cell on the same sheet as well as a cell in a different sheet and it keeps the sheet name but not the individual cell.
When I make a comboBox selection from the dropdown menu, the menu stays down until the last statement of the comboBox code is finished. How do I make the dropdown disappear immediately after the selection is made?
I want to write a VBA code that will place ActiveX Frame directly onto the worksheet and then add 3 Option Buttons from Toolbox into that frame.
I could not find an answer searching through the web... Also when trying to record macro and see the code it did not record placing the buttons from the toolbox or any formatting (color, caption, etc.) via properties...
When formatting the buttons it would be useful if the selected radio button would have different color, bold font, etc.
I would like to know the easiest way to temporarily keep a worksheet code from running while I am editing, then turn it back on when I am done. I was thinking a button with these commands(?)>
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = True
but I don't know which button to use, or if I would need a button for each.
I have some code for changing the scale of my chart axes so that when new data is inserted into the column which the chart sources from (say column B), the axis scales on my chart will automatically adjust (as the Excel algorithm sometimes leads to charts which are a bit squashed). This code works fine, and I have included it below.
I have then tried to introduce an ActiveX listbox so that when you select an item in the box, the reference number generated (1,2,3...etc) then determines which data series is inserted into column B using a vlookup function. However, when I do this, the original VBA code for automatically adjusting the chart axes no longer works.
Option Explicit Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart
I’ve found an excel sheet (witch a sample I post) from a Hobby I have, and after looking how it work’s it occur to me, that a similar file would solve I big problem in the restaurant I work. I’ve been thinking about it and I’ve now all the layout of my new-to-be file in my head, and I was going to start working on it, when I found that I couldn’t do one of the basic think on this file. Witch is to make the combobox were you can change the text according to a number or pre-determinate options. I know that you can use VBA to add combobox’s to you excel sheet, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. You can see the example in the cell B4 in the file that I post here.
THe below have written for comboBox selection when I run thourgh form and commandButton code is not working but when run single (Seperately) code will get execute.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim Mydate As Date Mydate = Date
I have a list of worksheet names in a combobox, when selected using the drop down arrow it takes you to that worksheet. The problem is say I select "ABC" from the list and it takes me to the "ABC" worksheet but when I go back to the summary page the "ABC" is already selected in the drop down box and I cannot click it any more. Is there anyway to reset the combo box so that it goes back to the first selection of the list?

I am coding my first UserForm. I've gotten some of it working. I need to display a ComboBox that will display 3 different CSV files. Since these will be updated here and there, I didn't think AddItem would work. How i should script this?
I have a piece of code attached to a combo box. When selected the code loops through 3, even 4 times for no apparent reason. Has anyone come across this before? The loop can start either after the final "end sub" or part way through (.clearcontents mainly) Have included the code just in case it is something obvious.
Private Sub cmbDI_GrowthBasis_Change() If UCase(Worksheets("Tables"). Range("GrowthNo")) = "NIL" Then Worksheets("Detail Inputs").Range("DI_GrowthRateTitle") = "" With Worksheets("Detail Inputs").Range("DI_GrowthRate") .ClearContents .Borders(xlEdgeLeft).LineStyle = xlNone .Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle = xlNone .Borders(xlEdgeBottom).LineStyle = xlNone .Borders(xlEdgeRight).LineStyle = xlNone .Interior.ColorIndex = 15 .Locked = False End With Else Worksheets("Detail Inputs").Range("DI_GrowthRateTitle") = Worksheets("Tables").Range("GrowthNo") & " :" End If End Sub
