ComboBox Select Failure, And RowSourse
Apr 18, 2009
In applications I make in Excel I often make use of ComboBoxes to select a unique value.
Prior to Excel-2007 this was a complicated and time consuming loop construction that had problems with larger files. So I was happy to find the “Remove Duplicates” function in Excel-2007 and tried to use that.
Process:
- Select column of data. (In my example column F)
- Copy to other sheet (DROP LISTS)
- Apply Remove Duplicates function.
- Sort alphabetically.
- Establish length of list.
- Set that range as Row Source of the ComboBox.
So far so good but there are three problems: ...

I have a userform that is being populated from a worksheet. One of the fields on the worksheet is state, and I am trying to pre select the state in the userform based on the cell. The worksheet is formatted as CA but the userform is formatted as CA - California.
I am able to at least find the value in the combobox list but I am not able to return it.
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
For Each Item In ComboBox1.List
If Left(Item, 2) = "CA" Then
MsgBox "!"
End If
Next Item
End Sub

I want to force a user to select a value from a Combobox that I set up in a newly created worksheet from inside a macro - while the macro is still running. I have the code to create a new worksheet, size it accordingly, add a Combobox control, assign a range of values for the drop-down list, but do not know how to suspend the macro and force the user to make a selection from this Combobox before continuing. Not even sure if this can be done.

First I will explain what this workbook does.
In worksheet "sheet1" I use "change sheet" button to change the backgroud by selecting some pictures, in range S14 I have one number from the name of the background picture (using substiture function).
By selecting one cell (with blue text) + one value from the combobox, in worksheet "sheet2" : -the selected value in column A will be deleted
- the selected value in column B will be added
- in column C I will see the adress of the active cell (cell with blue text)
- in column D I will see the blue text from the active cell
I need in column E to copy the range S14 from "sheet1" when I select a value in the combobox !
The range S14 will have different values!
I had tried this code (in module1 "Sub test") but it's not working how I need it to work:

I have a userform with 3 Comboboxes, all of which need to be populated from the dropdown option before OK is pressed. I haven't used any fancy names as this is just a straightforward (or so I thought) entry form ... the UserForm is called UserForm1 and the 3 ComboBoxes are called ComboBox1, ComboBox2 & ComboBox3. I have tried to be economical with my validation routine but I cannot get an incremental variable added to the end of the word "ComboBox" to be recognised ... my code is below :
Private Sub Validate_ComboBoxes()
While MyComboCount < 3
MyComboCount = MyComboCount + 1
MyComboBox = "ComboBox" & MyComboCount
Select Case "UserForm1." & MyComboBox <<<< This fails
Select Case UserForm1.ComboBox1 <<<< This works
Case ""
MyValidCheck = MyValidCheck + 1
Select Case MyComboCount
Case "1"
MsgBox "Enter the number of weeks for this period"
Case "2"
MsgBox "You need to enter a start date"
Case "3"
MsgBox "You need to enter an end date"
End Select
End Select
If MyValidCheck > 0 Then
MyComboCount = 4
End If
Wend
End Sub

The macro below in its current state adds data entered from the userform to a specific sheet. I would like to change it so that a player can be selected from combobox named txtmplayer and the data entered be copied to that specific players sheet.
If this information is vital: There are 8 players. Player sheets can be named player1, player2, and so on. I would like to keep same method for entry (finds first available row)

I wanted to create a userform with multipage. On the first page I want to use a ComboBox that would allow the user to select the customer. The customer name is on the sheet that I named "Customer" which also contains the street address/city/state/zip. What I would like is, once a customer is selected, I want a textbox that will be populated with the correct address taken from the sheet named "customer".
On the second page I'd like to use it for Product Info. I want to have a ComboBox, Text Box, a Command Buttons. The ComboBox is to select the "Model#" from the sheet named Product Info" and the TextBox is for the user to write their comments. One of the Command Button is to be view a sheet named "Quote" and the other is to send the "Quote" through email.

Is there any way to set the list from a Combo Box to automatically start in the middle?
Whenever I select a Combo Box, the drop down list always automatically starts at the top of my selected range, ideally I would like it to start in the middle.
For example my Range that I am filling the Combo Box with lists dates: Today()-7 to Today()+7.
At the moment the first item in the combo box list is Today()-7, I would like it to be Today().

Trying to calculate average successful attempts before failure. Have several hundred data points (1=success, 0=failure). A1:A10 = 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0
Cell A11 should calculate average attempts between failures for the whole range A1:A10.

I have a user form that has one combo box on it that right now references one column of data.
Now I am being asked to have three columns of data and the combo box to show one of the three when a certain criteria is met.
I believe it would be easiest to have an additional combox with a change event when the box is populated with "whatever" in the field
So S:3 to S:5 have A, B, C
And EC:1-EC:59, ED:1-ED:59, EE:1-EE:59 contain the data that should show when S:3, S:4, or S:5 is selected.
If S:3 is selected then the list in EC:1 - EC59 would show and so on.

No doubt due to a fundamental lack of understanding my SUMPRODUCT formulae (please see attached workbook) is not working.
Can someone be kind enough to point out the error of my ways? I've tried every possible combination (except the right one).

I am struggling with the Worksheet.Opentext code required to open a text file in excel - specifically with the date format.
For example, I have a text file containing Feb08.
When opened manually using space as deliminator it correctly returns 01/02/2008.
However, when I record the same opening action as a macro and then run same macro it returns 08/02/2009, which is incorrect. Try it and see for yourself!

I have a program that creates a userform, but it cannot complete the initialization. The initializer calls the sub below, supplying the relevant worksheet, category header, and combobox tag for the form. So far, it will find the header of interest on the worksheet. I want it to load all the cell data in the target header column into the form's combobox. The sub, however, has an issue with the line highlighted in red. I think it has to do with the way the combobox tag is referenced in the line, but I don't know how to fix it.

My file has 8 sheets with identical linked drop-down boxes at the top. Sheet1 has a graph that needs to be sorted from top to bottom each time a drop-down box from any of the sheets is adjusted. Using tips from this site, my macro moves to Sheet1, sorts, and then returns to whichever sheet I start at.
This works if the first drop-down box I adjust is from Sheet1. If the first drop-down box I adjust is from any other sheet I get "Run-time error '1004': Sort Method of Range Class Failed." Basically I get an error unless I use a Sheet1 drop-down box first. After using a Sheet1 drop-down box, all sheets work without error. How can I fix this error? Below is my macro................

I have a log that I use to keep track of my hours where the days hours and charge numbers get summed and moved to a new sheet via a command button. One of the categories is week ending date. I want the week ending date cells to merge if they match and cannot get the range I want to highlight. I can move the data, find and define the first and last cells in the range, but can't get the range.select command to work. I think it is just a syntax error, as I am new to VBA.
I can open a Locals window and watch it assign values to myFirstCell and myLastCell of "$A$36" and "$A$44" respectively, but I get an error on either the set range= or range.select lines.
My code is as follows:
Private Sub Post_Hours_To_Log_Click()
'Posts the day's hours to the hours tracker.
Dim myFirstCell, myLastCell As Variant
Dim myRange As Variant
***Removed N/A code that goes to another sheet and decides which data to copy***
Application.Goto reference:=Worksheets("Hours Log").Range("A2"), _
Scroll:=False

This piece of code runs perfectly on its own but when called at the end of another code it fails and I haven't a clue why. The reference wsTmp is dim'd globally and defined in the main component where it is simply - worksheets("somename")
Run-time error '1004':
The sort reference is not valid. Make sure that it's within the data you want to sort, and the first Sort By box isn't the same or blank.
Private Sub FinalSort()
wsTmp.Cells.Sort Key1:=Range("D2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("A2") _
, Order2:=xlAscending, Key3:=Range("K2"), Order3:=xlAscending, Header:= _
xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal, DataOption2:=xlSortNormal, DataOption3:= _
xlSortNormal

I have workbooks in which summary tables are generated by lookup formulas. Tables are on different sheets but all use the same lookup value by referring to a cell on the 'master' sheet. The lookup value appears in cells on all sheets, by reference to the master sheet (e.g. [formula] = mastersheet!$B$2).
The master sheet contains the main summary table and is copied and detached for distribution, using a macro. For practical reasons, this is done in two stages, first copying the sheet within the workbook (to make minor alterations), then moving it to a new book to save and distribute.
This is where the problem arises. After the sheet has been detached, we find that if we now change the lookup value on the master sheet in the original file, the tables on that sheet will update normally, but the cells on other sheets remain frozen at the previous value and the tables on those sheets do not update.
The only way round the problem is by Shift + Ctrl + Alt + F9. (Maybe I should add that all my workbooks are always set to automatic calculation.)
The macro itself is not the cause of the problem; if we follow the same procedure manually, the result is the same. However, if we move the sheet in one step, eliminating the intermediate copying stage, the problem does not arise. But this is evading the problem, not solving it, and I would be reluctant to have to resort to this.
The original problem remains as stated, viz. failure of automatic calculation.

I've been using a macro successfully for the last couple of years, but this morning when I went to use it, it decided to fail. I have a workbook which contains various spreadsheets. The macro that has failed performs the following tasks:
1. It copies a list of email addresss from an external workbook to a sheet in the current workbook (still works)
2. It copies the referral sheet I want to send to a new file, and saves it with an appropriate filename to an appropriate folder (still works)
3. The macro then creates an email with a standard subject line, attaches the new worksheet and emails it to each of the addresses as above (broken)
The error message is from Microsoft Visual Basic. "Run-time error '1004': Mail system failure. Check your mail installation."
I'm guessing there is a setting somewhere in Excel that has changed as part of an update.
I've been through a number of the options in the developer menu to remove any obvious restrictions (& reopened excel afterwards), but so far it hasn't resolved the problem.
For what it's worth, here is the macro code.
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With
Run "PullInSheet1"
Dim oldbook As String
[Code] .......
In case you're wondering about the pullinsheet code, I'll add it below - but I probably grabbed it from this forum a couple of years ago (like some of the above) & just made some changes.
Code:
Sub PullInSheet1()
Dim AreaAddress As String
'''''' Sheet11.UsedRange.Clear
Dim ClRange As String
ClRange = "= 'L:ADMINEMPLOY SERVICES" _
[Code] ........
There are a couple of things I've wanted to do to improve the macro, but I couldn't justify the need to spend time working it out (since writing spreadsheets isn't really my job). Since it's broken at the moment, I can...
1. I'd like to create a subject line that reflects the name of the person being referred. For some reason though, anything other than text in the cell reference caused an error for me. eg, I tried using concatenate to create my subject line, but it didn't work.
2. I'd like the copied sheet to contain all of the formatting of the original sheet. Presumably there is a paste option that will do this and I just picked the wrong one.
The mailsystem we use is Groupwise 8. I couldn't find any settings in that program that have been changed, or that I could change.
I should change the extension from xls to xlsx in the code since I'm using Excel 2010 (but changing it doesn't fix the problem).

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.
