I have an activeX combo box with dates in the following quarterly format (dec-14, march-15, july-15 etc), with the following code:
[Code] .....
However' while each code works fine standalone, the two codes wont work together - and the listindex reverts back to 0.
I'm having trouble getting a combo box to show UK format dates. It's meant to check the last date on the spreadsheet, find so many weeks before and after and fill the drop-down. It finds the weeks fine, I've even had it put them into a column in the spreadsheet and they show fine there, but the drop-down always comes up with US format dates even if I read it from the test column in the spreadsheet. It then writes the US format date into the spreadsheet, which causes mayhem next time I run it, as I'm forcing it to read UK style dates in an attempt to make it work. It sometimes does decide to work fine, I'm never sure why, but it changes back to being wrong again when I close and restart it. I've checked my regional settings, and they're right.
Dim i As Integer
Dim ThisWeek As Date
Dim rCell As Range
Dim UsedWeek As Date
FirstTime = False
For i = 0 To 20
Redim Week(i) As Date
Next i
ThisRow = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row+1
If ThisRow = 9 Then............
I need to set the format which a date appears in a combobox as it is initialised.
At the moment the combobox looks for data in a named range.
The data appears in the following format on the sheet.
"Jan 07"
"Feb 07"
"Mar 07" etc
When the UserForm opens and I go to the combobox "pulldown"
the date is formatted as follows:
"1/1/2007'
"2/1/2007"
"3/1/2007"
How do I get the date format to reflect the cell format in a combobox?
I'm creating a workbook with the ultimate aim of graphing some data between any two dates. For this I plan to use the ComboBoxes on the Control Toolbox. Each ComboBox takes its range of data from a list of dates, with the cells set as Date format (custom as dd-mmm-yy), however when I select a date in the dropdown of the ComboBox, it is shown in number format, i.e. 38723 etc.
When I ask the ComboBox to put the output in another cell, it is input in text format as that number. Changing the output cell type does work, but once you select a new date in the dropdown, it reverts to text once again. how to set the ComboBox to display dd-mmm-yy format and it's output to be the same?
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'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
Worksheets("Criteria2").Activate
Cells.Select
Selection.ClearContents
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?
if I need to post all 7 macros?
I have the following code in a userform_initialize
ComboBox10.AddItem "0"
For x = 1 To 13 Step 1
ComboBox10.AddItem Format(x, "0")
Next x
ComboBox10.Value = Sheet4. Range("H25").Value
ComboBox10.ListIndex = 0
I would like to make the list index = 13 if the Label.Caption associated with the combobox = "Spare". I have 'Option Explicit' turned on & I get a message 'variable not defined'. How would I code this properly or more to the point I guess, what is the variable I should be using?
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 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.

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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSince Form Controls comboboxes don't allow font editing, I need to switch to ActiveX...
The combo box values come from the following cell range:

Those values are, from top to bottom: "select distance", "50 Miles", "100 Miles", "150 Miles".
The following macro is also assigned to the combobox:

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:

The second issue is that the last clicked value in the ActiveX comboBox replaces the top one.

but if the user clicks "100 Miles", the combobox is then going to display

View 12 Replies View RelatedI 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 have a workbook with a combo box.
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.
=AVERAGEIFS(MFI,DATE,">="&JanStart,DATE,"<="&JanEnd)
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.
=AVERAGEIFS(A1,DATE,">="&JanStart,DATE,"<="&JanEnd)
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.
Here is my code:
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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing 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.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a spread sheet for equipment that gets loaned out on a regular basis. Cells B4 - B25 have combo boxes in them, with the options to select "On Loan", "In Stock Room" etc in them. What I would like to do is create something so that as the combo box is changed, i.e. from "In Stock" to "On Loan", a date changes adjacent to each combo box.
For example, combo box in B10 has been changed from "In Stock" to "On Loan". The adjacent cell records the date automatically that the combo box was changed.

I have a form with several combo boxes, and they function just the way I like as far as being able to pick from the list, or typing in them and having it show you the next available item in the list as you add letters. Whats happening that I would like to know how to deal with is... as soon as you type a letter that is not in my lookup range it generates an error. "Could not get the list property - Invalid property array index". I don't want people to be able to add to the list, but I would like a msgbox to pop up. Then allow them to go back to the box and try again.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with multiple brands on it, and I've added an ActiveX listbox that allows you to select which brands you want to view (Brand A, Brand B, or "all brands"). It works great, however it appears that my macros are running on workbook open.
None of my macros (and there are several) have the "Workbook_Open" code in them, so I'm not sure what's going on?
It really doesn't do any harm, except that someone opening the workbook has to watch excel flash and blink and go through all of these steps/calculations evertime you open it.
I thought Excel might be treating the "workbook open" as me making a selection on one of my listboxes (even if it was already selected) and thus running that macro, but the same thing happens even if I save the workook to display a sheet that doesn't have a listbox.
ETA: From what I've read, activeX controls are always autoloaded when a workbook containing them opens. That's unfortunate. Am I out of luck here for a speedy workbook open?
