Alternative To Listbox - Dropdown List
Apr 9, 2014
I have a list of 150 names and I am looking for the best options to select between those. I will generally type part of the name and expect for the closest match to appear.
I have tried listbox userform, it does not work, even though it's locked and formatted not to move, its size changes all the time causing Excel to crash and lost hours of work done on the sheet.
I have tried also a drop down list, but it's very hard to search for names manually.
What other options do I have? I think the best would be some kind of search box but I can't find any in the insert userform tab.

I have a userform where I can select multiple items in a listbox and add them to another. I also have the ability to filter the first listbox to make finding items easier. The issue I am having concerns the clear filter button. As currently designed, the clear filter button will reset the initial listbox back to its default values. Ideally, I would like it to reset to the default values excluding those values that currently in the second listbox.
The entire code is below for reference, but it's the sub ClearFilter_Click that I am struggling with.

I am trying to create a simple user interface type thing so that someone is able to select from drop down lists someones information, such as whether they are male or female, aged between 19-35 or 35-67, whether they are studying in a business area, legal or construction etc (there are 6 variables in total), This will then give the probability of success of the person passing this course based on probabilities which I have already worked out. I have worked out how to do the first stage of creating a drop down list showing alternative choices with Sex, Age etc in the data validation options, however:
There are 517 possible combinations, as in Male aged 19 to 35 studying Business (with other variables) or Male aged 19 to 35 studying Law (+ other variables) etc etc etc each with their own probability of success. Due to the long nature of writing out Male1935BusinessNorthWestWhiteBritishCollegeBrown I have rewritten it so it appears in the excel file as M1935BNWWBCB, which obviously wouldn't make any sense to someone if they had to select M 1935 B NW WB CB from drop down lists.
Along side the M1935BNWWBCB there is the probability of success specific to that type of person. So for example I could would have:
M 60%
M1935 64%
M1935B 35%....

I have a userform where I want the user to be able to select multiple options, but am having a bit of a problem finding the best way to do this. If I use a combobox, I don't appear to be able to allow multiple selections, but if I use a listbox I don't appear to be able to implement a dropdown facility. I would prefer to have a single line sized box on my form, but doing this with a listbox would probably be confusing for the user as it is not very easy to see what has been selected.

I have this data inputted into excel sheet: [URL] .......
This data is in tab called Shops, that has 8 columns of information. In another sheet called control, I have the shops names from row A in a list box. What I am trying to do is when whatever shop is selected in the list box then output the shop information from that row in 8 different cells in another sheet. I have a list of about 200 shops that I need to input.
So if we pick shop, Abc inc from the list box how can I get excel to look up the information in Abc inc in the shops tab of information and then display them on other cells in different sheets.
I have the same issue with making a list box of people names. I made the list box but I want to make it so it will display there phone number and e-mail address in 2 other cells once you pick there names. I had some luck using the if command on smaller list boxes but I can't figure out how to get multiple cells of information to come out correctly

I am coding a spreadsheet that makes extensive use of the excel dropdown list boxes. So I have codes such all over and it is not a neat way to code.
Code:
With Target.Validation
.Delete
.Add xlValidateList, 1, 1, Formula1:="1, 2, 3"
.InCellDropdown = True
.ShowInput = True
End With
As many of the dropdown list boxes are similar in nature, with the only exception that the list content is different, I wanted to code a sub routine to include the code above.
My subroutine looks like this now:
Code:
Sub listbox(cellref As Range)
Set Target = Cells(cellref)
With Target.Validation
.Delete
.Add xlValidateList, 1, 1, Formula1:="1, 2, 3"
.InCellDropdown = True
.ShowInput = True
End With
End Sub
The problem is that when I call the subroutine with a
Call listbox (10,10)
It kept giving me a compile error.
I would like to create a listbox at cell row 10, column 10 of the worksheet.

I'm creating a spreadsheet to keep track of my costs of production in an online game. Within the game there are a range of spawned resources that appear for only a short time before being unobtainable these resources have specific types that is shared between multiple spawns of the resource but each resource spawn has a unique name.
My first worksheet lists all the resources and their various qualities and the later worksheets are meant to allow me to choose from a list resources matching the requirements of the item I'm looking to craft. The example i have shown in the second picture requires Tatooinian Fiberplast and Lokian Wild Wheat to craft so in the Chosen Resource column I would like to have a drop down list allowing me to select the named resource type i would like to use - for Tatooinian Fiberplast the only thing on the list should be Omnitwixi and for the Wild Wheat it should show Fizi and Krad

I found code online that I can put on my sheet to get my formatting properties to stay the same for the items in my dropdown list located on another page. However the code does not work for conditional formatted cells...which is what I need. This is the code that I have that will carry over regular formatted cells. Just not Conditional formatted cells.

I have 3 related dropdown lists that work perfectly, if you enter data from left to right. But, if you click in the cell containing the second list, which is based on the first list, of which nothing has been selected, you can just type any value in the cell. Is there a way to prevent this, or at least validate that what is entered is a value in the list.

fill the column "Level 2 Area" based on the value selected from "Level 1 Area" which is coming from a drop down list. So the "Level 2 Area" will be a drop down list also based on the selected value from the drop down list from "Level 1 Area".
Level 1 Area
Level 2 Area

Im trying to organize a tools inventory list. Its supposed to be sort of like an order sheet for each department. But what I want to do is when I select either CARPENTRY, or any of the other trades from a drop-down list, I'll be able to select from another drop-down list items associated with that trade in particular. So eventually I want the master data hidden, preferably in another sheet. I searched all of Google but it seems a bit complicated to get it done. I've attached the sheet so that you can see what I'm talking about. MOVE IN MASTER LIST.xlsx

I was wondering if there is a way to add to a list by a drop down selection.
If there isn't is there a way to do this task easier than copying and pasting?
Here is an example - I'm trying to add the name Benson to the AZ Name list.
Here is an illustration with the drop down but if I can't do this then is there any way that's easier than copying/pasting?

I created a nice list box where the user can select any members of a ListBox1, and put them into a ListBox2. This happens in a Form I created, UserForm1.
Now I can't figure out how to get this ListBox2.list from Userform1 into my code in Module1! Any reference to ListBox2 in Module1 results in an error like "Run-time error '424': Object required.

I know you can read a range of data into a ListBox with a single command. can you read the contents of a ListBox into an array with a single line, and if so what is the syntax?

I am trying to make a spreadsheet where I use a drop down menu for several of my vendors. When I select the Vendor's name from the drop down menu (for example in A1), I would like A2 to display that vendor's phone number. But when I switch vendor name from drop down list in A1, A2 would need to reflect the new vendor's contact info.

I'm required by my manager to produce password protected dropdown list (I use the data validation feature) for purchase order requester. I have been working on it for 2 days now, I somehow got it but it doesnt seem foolproof; as i often get error message after running it a few times.
Basically, all I need is to come up with a unique password for each name for listed in the "Requester". Whenever I click on it, it will prompt me to enter password.Different names requires different password, otherwise it will return as a blank cell.
What are the steps how to edit data validation if possible.
Attached is the requester list : Requester List.xlsx
