Add Unique Items To ComboBox Control
Aug 30, 2006
I have a database of data that looks like this
Centre Name Training Type Expert 1 Expert 2 Expert 3 Expert 4
MyCentre MyTraining Me
MyCentre MyTraining Me
MyCentre MyTraining Me
MyCentre OtherTraining Me
NewCentre NewTraining NewPerson
I am trying to create a user form (in VBA) with a combo box that has each centre name appear only once (despite the fact that in the database each occurs multiple times). When a specific centre is selected, this brings up all the different training types associated with that centre in a separate list box. When that training type is selected, it should bring up all of the experts in that training type (for the specific centre). I should mention that the range is static (though the data is always contiguous) as the database is updated on a going forward basis.

Populate Adv Filter Criteria from Inputbox with valid data
I've set up a macro to extract 3 different sets of data using Advanced Filter (same data range, different criteria & extract ranges)
There are multiple options (different individual dates) to satisfy the criteria (a date) for each of the 3 extracts and I want the user to select the criteria (a specific date) from the range of unique values in the data range upon which the Advanced Filter criteria is going to be applied. (A bit like the effect provided by Autofilter)
My initial attempt was to capture the criteria date from the user and populate a cell, and then have a vlookup function in another cell check if that crieteria value exists in the specified range. I then ran a loop in the VBA code until the value is valid (ie. exists in the range). However, to streamline this I was hoping to allow the user to see a list of the valid (available) dates when they respond to my Inputbox request for the criteria.

Am trying to get dynamic population of 2nd combobox based on match from criteria in combobox 1.
if column a = bears and column b = colours of bears then
when I select bears in combobox one, combobox 2 would populate with colors of bear.
I am think of having a combobox 1 change event that evaluates each row in a specific range (does it match the criteria?) if so, then add 2nd cell (column b) of that row to the combobox 2.
I know it would probably involve match and offset, add item and loop, but I am not sure what the syntax is.

I know how to use array formulae to create a unique list, i.e.{=INDEX($G$1:$G$760,SMALL(IF(ROW($G$1:$G$760)=MATCH($G$1:$G$760,$G$1:$G$760,0),ROW($G$1:$G$760)),ROW()))}
however this is giving all the unique items from column G and I only want the unique items that have a non-zero value in column H as well. This would be the sumif of all instances that would have to be zero. I've tried to crack it and I've tried to search for solutions but so far no joy.

I have an issue with some unwanted items in a listbox that gets its data from a pivot table, however it only happens with the one pivot field and for three of its pivot items.
I tried following a suggestion from an earlier thread to re-create the pivot table, but it did not work.
I'd like to post the file, but its too large, even in zip format.

The below code shows the way I add items to 10 different comboboxes. However, the items to be added are actual the same.
Is there a way I can simiply it? I am worry that by the end of day, i might have up to 50-60 comboboxes and the code will be a relativity long and not efficient.
Taking into consideration the the comboboxes will be labelled as Jieyi_task_ComboBox1...to 10
jane_task_ComboBox1...to 10
Kenny_task_ComboBox1.. to 10

Passing an array from a sub to another sometimes works, sometimes not. But when I call the same sub twice, it definately gets stuck at least at the second time. Seems as if I tend to lose some of my items of the array. And I cannot figure out why it happens, at what pace it happens or how I could stop this from happening.
1.Could it be that a control perishes as soon as it is set to 'ctrl.enabled=false'? 2.Or could it be that a declared array 'ary=array(tb1,cb1,frm1)' can not be handled without having had its items initialized with some lines of code, although the items visibly exist within the user form? 3. Can it be that a Sub 'remembers' the former values passed to it, if set to 'optional'?
However, I have added a cleared/minimized version of my userform as a file to this post, hoping that some of you out there might find the time to have a look at it.... I would really appreciate it. I have added the decisive parts of the macro below here, as well,
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim elem As Variant
Dim wSht As Worksheet
Dim ctrl As Control
'set control arrays
'[...]
ctrlAllStep2 = Array(cbTimeOnly, cbIntensityOnly, cbAreaOnly) '[...]
ctrlAllStep3 = Array(tbIntensityTotal, tbIntensityBleached) '[...]
MsgBox "Two Controls exist now: 1." & ctrlAllStep2(0). name & ", 2. " & ctrlAllStep2(1).name, vbInformation, "Note: controls exist..."
'disable Controls in Step2 and in Step3....................

I have a combobox from the Forms Toolbox inserted in a worksheet and have a macro assigned to run when the user selects a value. After the value is selected in the combobox I'd like the combobox to clear itself (show a blank). Currently the selected value stays highlighted in the combobox after the selection is made. I know how to do this with a Controls combobox, but cannot figure out how to use it with a Forms combobox. (The reason I am not using the controls cb is because there seems to be an Excel2007 bug that causes the properties of the displayed text to randomly change when the control is activated. When a selection is made in the controls cb, the text displayed in the cb turns bold, and either grows or shrinks in size to the point that it is unreadable. Same thing seems to happen with all other ActiveX controls...)
Sample attached.

I am trying to find a formula that references a cell on a spreadsheet (H7) which is really a Combo Box that is located on a range of cells K25:K30. I want to put a formula in H18, but of course, the combo box always references the range on K. i have tried the $K$25:K430, but i don't know what i am doing. The drop down menu and everything works fine, but the data IS stored elsewhere. HOW do i tell Excel to look at K25:K30,(depending on choice within combo) and then ad H8:H19? I have looked, but all answers are for forms. I am doing this for final exercise for a university course, and (hmmhmm) must folllow obtuse instructions.

If this control is a TextBox, I would like to read the Text property,
and if it's a ComboBox, I would like to read the Value property.
Public Function readValue(c As Control) As String
If (TypeName(c) = "TextBox") Then
' convert the Control to TextBox then put readValue = c.Text
Else
If (TypeName(c) = "ComboBox") Then
'convert the Control to ComboBox then put readValue = c.Value
End If
End If
End Function

I have a significant number of comboboxes on a multipage userform. Almost all of them are populated dynamically (it takes the user choice from one combobox, looks for that value on the spreadsheet and if it finds it, it takes whats in the next column and adds it to another combobox).
My problem is that all the items in these other comboboxes are not in alphabetical order. I'd like to find some code that will work for all my comboboxes so that I don't have to have the same code over and over again for each field.
I found the code below and that works to alphabetize the dropdown, but I still have to use it over and over again and change it for each fieldname (in red). I tried to use a variant and just make the value the same as each fieldname before it calls the sub and whats in red below was just my variable but that just crashes my excel.

I have 2 dropdown lists.
The 1st shows the portfolio list and the 2nd one should display project names based on the portfolio selection in Dropdown1.
My data resides in another sheet where Column B is the Portfolio list,Column C project list and Column D to X some data related to the project.
I have to give cell link reference to the project selected in dropdown 2 so that the other values in the dashboard changes based on a vlookup formula.
I have attached the sample sheet for reference with some dump values.

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:
[Code] ........

I want to display mutliple columns in a form control combobox. Tried activex and the easy part was the multiple columns. I couldn't get the activex combobox to update properly when a cell value changed.
The form control combobox updates properly but it is only displaying the first column of my named range.

1.
I have a userform with a combobox that displays unique values from column A of the worksheet. I have a number of fields for each record going from columns A to J and A1:J1 is headings.
When user selects any particular record from the drop down list, it displays all the related fields on the labels on userform.
The column J is not initially completed for every record. But users put their feedback in column J (which done via userform) as they go. This does not happen in any particular order.
I am wondering if I can make the combobox pickup entries with no values in their column J.....in other words, can the combobox ONLY display the records that havent got user feedbacks in front of them in column J ?
So once a record has recieved a feedback in column J, its not seen again in the combobox.....to avoid doubling up on feedbacks.
2.
Also, what code would I use to select the row source for the combobox?
As the number of entries in the worksheet are growing the combobox rowsource range needs to grow automatically.
My worksheet is called "ComplaintData" which hidden, Combobox is called "complaintdis" and it needs to display values from column A in the dropdownlist.

I have an workbook with two worksheets: sheet1 and sheet2. In first sheet I have an combobox (with data from sheet2, range A2:end xldown). In second sheet I have:
column A: item
column B: item with range
column C: range
I need to select one item from combobox (for example 3) and after that to select a cell (for example D3).
In sheet2, column A, I need item 3 to be deleted.
In sheet2, column B, I need item 3 to be added.
In sheet2, column C, I need the selected cell (D3) to be added and so on for all the items!

method of looping through objects to make changes.
I have 12 comboboxes on a userform which I have set to dropdown list and want to populate during the userform initialization. Each combobox is called "pt*" where * is a number from 1 - 12. I have currently set up my code with 12 lines, one for each combobox to apply the same dropdown list to each of the 12 boxes.
ie
Code:
pt1.rowsource = ptsource
(where ptsource contains a range reference on the worksheet)
I'm interested to learn how to improve my code to loop through 1-12 and apply the rowsource to each combobox.
I did search through some past questions but could only come up with a method which seemed to step through every combobox on a worksheet rather than userform and in my case, I have two other comboboxes on the userform which I do not want to add this rowsource to, only the "pt*" named comboboxes.
