ComboBoxes - Getting Data From Different Worksheet
Jul 6, 2012
In one worksheet I have a large amount of data (around 300 columns and 1000 rows), growing bigger each day. This worksheet is called "datas_pH" and consists of column A with different categories, column B with different subcategories, and then the rest of the columns with the pH data.
In a different worksheet (called "database") I have 2 comboboxes where you should be able to select the categories and subcategories. For example, in the first combobox if you select A you should only be able to view and select 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. If you select B you should only be able to select 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. (I believe it may be called cascading comboboxes or something along those lines?).
Anyway, here's a code that works perfectly if the comboboxes and data are in the same data sheet:
Combo Box 1:
Code:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() Dim d1 As Object
Set d1 = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
i = 2 ' start at row 2
x = 1
rowValue = Cells(i, 1) ' set rowValue to the value of the first cell (top data row)
[Code] .....
How do I modify these codes so it will pick up data in the other worksheet ("datas_pH"). Combo Box 1 should pick up data from cells datas_pH!a:a, and Combo Box 2 should pick up from cells datas_pH!b:

I'm sure this must have been answered before but I cant find it, sorry.....
I have 12 comboboxes on a worksheet. They are normally filled out by typing the first 3 characters of one of the entries in the list they are populated with.
I.e. the list starts;
AAC - Al Arish - Egypt - HEAR
AAN - Al Ain - United Arab Emirates - OMAN
AAW - Abottabad - Pakistan -
The first 3 character are unique to each line.
I'd like to be able to enter the 3 characters in the first combobox & then tab to the 2nd combobox, etc, etc. No problem in a userform but how on earth do I do that when the comboboxes are on the worksheet?

On my Worksheet, I have a Commandbotton that executes this macro to delete all comboboxes in another sheet.
Sub DeleteShapes()
Dim obj As OLEObject
For Each obj In Sheets("Sheet").OLEObjects
If TypeOf obj.Object Is MSForms. ComboBox Then
obj.Delete
End If
Next
End Sub
This method works most of the time, but sometimes I get this error:
delete method of OLEObject class failed. I red in this forum, that I should set the TakeFocusOnClick Property of the CommandButton to false.

I have two combo boxes which are named as AREA and BRANCHES. AREA makes me choose from Math, Science, History. The result of AREA populates BRANCHES. example: if I choose Math in AREA, BRANCHES will make me choose from Algebra, Calculus, Trigonometry.
Based from the choice made, all the data that I will put in my userform will go to the corresponding worksheet. example: if I choose Math in AREA and Algebra in BRANCHES, my data will go to a worksheet which has a name of MathAlgebra. If I choose Math in AREA and Calculus in BRANCHES, my data will go to a worksheet which has a name of MathCalulus

I just started using vb two days ago so the problem is probably from the code. I created a userform with 2 comboboxes and 10 textboxes, when i choose an item from the first combobox it filters out the result from the second combobox.
And when i choose an item from the 2nd combobox it shows certain textboxes corresponding to that item. Everything works fine if i run the userform while on the sheet i pull the data off of (Devices sheet), but if i try it on another sheet then the comboboxes don't work anymore.
Another question i had is if there is simpler way to view the textboxes rather than the one i used in my code. And if there's a way to autoarrange the textboxes when i they are visible so that they all are in the same row.

Is there a way to add cascading lists (from data validation or form/activex controls) to my excel spreadsheet WITHOUT using named ranges? Maybe structured references?
I need to avoid the named ranges because it will cause my workbook to have duplicate named range titles which I cannot avoid.
As a general example my issue arises because I have something like this where the titles are the same but they map to slightly different data. These also have to be cascading because the titles align to another list which I do not show in the example. I also considered using pivot tables, but the issue there is that the data validation lists repeat in the same worksheet. So I would have 3 cascading lists in row1 dependent on each other, but the same 3 lists in row2 dependent on row2 but not the previous row.

I'm thinking of writing a small tool to store user information on certain files.
The user data will be input by means of comboboxes on a userform.
Each combobox will need to contain a list of values previously used for that combobox. (I'm planning to use a separate ini file for each combobox)
All of the user data entered for a file will be saved into a single ini file.
Most of this is straightforward however I'm not good with comboboxes. And working this in with Ini files makes it harder!
I'm struggling with the following concepts:
SOLVED - How do to make a combobox populate with all the values from its ini file
SOLVED - How to identify if a selected value in any combobox is new (i.e. wasn't in the original list presented to the user)
SOLVED - (From above) How to write this new value to that comboboxes ini file (so it will appear in future lists for that combobox)
How to input two values from any given combobox
(From above) How to record two values for one field into the files ini file.

I have two comboboxes on a userform, they both get there list from the same formula. What I am trying to do is have the second combobox have it's selection preset based on the selection in combobox 1.
ie
Combobox1 = 6:00 AM
when you click on the dropdown for combobox2 i would like 6:00 AM to be the first selection possible, but I dont want it displayed in the box unless it is selected.
Dim timdat1(1 To 85)
For i = 1 To 85
timdat1(i) = Format(TimeSerial(5, (i + 1) * 15, 0) - Int(TimeSerial(5, (i + 1) * 15, 0)), "h:mm AM/PM")
Next i
combobox1.List = timdat1
combobox2.List = timdat1
i am at a loss for where to go from here

I am using the following code to determine whether a given range is the linked cell for a Combo Box by looping through the shapes collection.
Function LocateFormControl(OverRange As Range) As Shape
Dim objTemp As Shape
For Each objTemp In OverRange.Parent.Shapes
If Left(objTemp.name, 6) = "Drop D" Then
If WorksheetFunction.Substitute(objTemp.ControlFormat.linkedcell, "$", "") = WorksheetFunction.Substitute(OverRange.Address, "$", "") Then
Set LocateFormControl = objTemp
Exit Function
End If
End If
Next
Set LocateFormControl = Nothing
End Function
However, when I use this code on big worksheets with many other shape objects (such as Comments), the program runs very slowly. Is there a ComboBoxes Collection that I could use to avoid looping through all shapes on the worksheet, or is there a different, faster way to run this code?

I totally understand how to make the combobox under form controls now but I am not having any success with the indirect function I was using as a list now that I have a combo box. I have attached the current form I am working on that just shows the list function still. How to convert this over to combo boxes with the indirect function?
I attached a second form with the feature I am asking about. It is just lacking the third list that I now have in place. (on the 1st attachment).

Within a userform, I want to populate five combo boxes and with the values of 1 - 10. I looked through several excel websites and found several solutions. However, I could not figure out how to adopt their solutions to my specific case.
My naming convention for the combo boxes are: cmboPeriod1, cmboPeriod2, ... , cmboPeriod5.
[Code].........
I know my with statement is incorrect. I know the compiler will automatically think 'cmboPeriod' is a variable. I just don't know how to get it 'cmboPeriod & j' to do what I really intend for it to do.

I'm trying to fill some combo boxes on a userform with arrays stored as variant type (this is how I was told it's done). The problem is, I'm using exactly the same code in two subroutines and it works in one and not in the other. I have a button to reset the form and a subroutine that runs when the form is initialized. Here's the code for the reset button which works:
Code:
Private Sub Reset_Click()
App1Date = ""
App2Date = ""
App3Date = ""
App1Time.Clear
App2Time.Clear
App3Time.Clear
[code]....
At the moment I've got the 'Journeys' and 'TimeArray' declared as public variables for maximum scope, so that they can be used by both subroutines. But I've also tried declaring them localy in each subroutine and it still doesn't work! By using a breakpoint I can see that the line
Code:
carJourneysSaved.List = Journeys
is definitely running when I expect it to but the combo boxes remain blank unless I click reset!

Linking two comboboxes. Actually My department consists of 4 divisions and each division contains 3 sections, that is beside Department manager staff and planning group.
In the attached workbook:
- Combobox1 contains All divisions, Department manager staff and planning group)
- Combobox2 contains all sections of the selected division in Combobox1.
What I want to do is the following:
In Combox1, I want to hide all records not related to the selected division.
In Combox1, I want to hide all records not related to the selected section.
Remarks:
I depend for filtering on the org. code for each division and section.
Fifth and Sixth digits of the first Division's Org. Code are 21
Fifth and Sixth digits of the second Division's Org. Code are 22
Fifth and Sixth digits of the third Division's Org. Code are 23
Fifth and Sixth digits of the third Division's Org. Code are 24
First section's org. code for each division ends with 11
Second Section's org. code for each division ends with 21
Third Section's org. code for each division ends with 31
I have created the following VBA codes to reach the said purposes, the first three ptions in Combobox1 work just fine, but the other options sometimes work fine and other times don't!
Moreover, Combobox 2 is not working at all:
Code:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Select Case ComboBox1
Case Is = [AC4].Value

I am having some difficulty trying to implement the following. Lets say I have a reference list
X 1
X 2

I want to have two drop downs on my worksheet. One that filters by x,y,z and then based on the option i select there only give me the corresponding values in the second drop down.
Eg if i select X in my drop down I only want 1,2,3 as options in my second drop down. Or if I select Y only the value 4.

I have a question about mutually exclusiveness in combo boxes. I know radio buttons are if they are grouped together. I have 2 combo boxes, you can select either 1 or 2.
I want it to be when you select 1 in one of the combobox, it automatically disables you from selecting 1 again in the other combobox. How do i do this without a macro?

I have a worksheet "Master Log" with a UserForm "UserForm2" set up that has 4 comboboxes and 2 text entries. I already have the filtered unique values for each combobox sent to columns "O" thru "R" and they are dynamic ranges. I have the code to populate one of the comboboxes in the userform but cant figure out how to modify the code to have all four populated without getting ambiguous entry errors. And also, do I have to initiate the form for each combobox? Below is the code Im using for a single combobox.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim MyUniqueList As Variant, i As Long
With Me.ListBox1
.Clear ' clear the listbox content
MyUniqueList = UniqueItemList(Range("o4:o100"), True)
For i = 1 To UBound(MyUniqueList)
.AddItem MyUniqueList(i)
Next i
.ListIndex = 0 ' select the first item
End With
End Sub
Private Function UniqueItemList(InputRange As Range, _
HorizontalList As Boolean) As Variant
Dim cl As Range, cUnique As New Collection, i As Long, uList() As Variant
Application.Volatile
On Error Resume Next
For Each cl In InputRange
If cl.Formula <> "" Then
cUnique.Add cl.Value, CStr(cl.Value)
End If
Next cl
UniqueItemList = ""
If cUnique.Count > 0 Then
Redim uList(1 To cUnique.Count)
For i = 1 To cUnique.Count
uList(i) = cUnique(i)
Next i
UniqueItemList = uList
If Not HorizontalList Then
UniqueItemList = _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(UniqueItemList)
End If
End If
On Error Goto 0

I am trying to develope a userform in EXCEL 2010 that has a couple of comboboxes that pulls data from a specific worksheet. The first combobox is initialized with data from column "A" of the worksheet, which I can get to work perfectly. But what I am having trouble with is the second combobox, the data that needs to populate combobox2 is dependent on combobox1 results which are the column headings ("B" thru "E"). What I want to do is search row 2 find the result from combobox1 and populate combobox2 with the data below that result. Below is my data that I am working from.

I have 2 combo boxes dependent on one combo box. When I select an item from the dropdown list in ComboBox1, I want the corresponding data attached to ComboBox1 to be available in ComboBox 2 and ComboBox3.
Example:
ComboBox1 ComboBox2 ComboBox3
John Male English
Data for ComboBox1 are in column A2 (Names), data for ComboBox2 are in column B2 (Gender) and data for ComboBox3 are in column C2 (Language spoken).
I chanced upon a code written by royUK from this Excel Forum, which works well for 2 ComboBoxes. This is the code:
Option Explicit
Dim rSource As Range
Private Sub ComboBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)

Before i start and to save you time looking at my profile, i am using excel 2010. So i have one worksheet with loads and loads of Combo boxes (form control) that are linked to a cell on another sheet and that sheet uses the linked cell along with a index and match formula in one to fetch data from a range for my chart. So based on the selection of the combo box option the chart changes.
My question is how do i change the size of the text in the Combo boxes (form control)? Is there any VBA to do this? .Font.Size?
If not i don't mind changing all my boxes to Combo boxes (activeX control), but i do have over 100 so what would be the best and fastest way to change all my current Combo boxes (form control) to Combo boxes (activeX control) whilst keeping everything the same so it all still functions. Maybe some more VBA? Plus i also need to be able to change the size in the new Combo boxes (activeX control) as well so telling me how would be splendid.

I have the following workbook (attached) and it is in various states of disarray but I have two questions concerning it;
First, there are three ComboBoxes that need to be linked to each other in the form. When I say this, I mean that depending on the user, it will be easier for them to enter the property name, versus the property number or AFE number or visa versa. Is there an easy way to have it so that when any of the three boxes (WELL NAME OR YARD, PROPERTY NUMBER, or AFE NUMBER) are selected, the other two populate with the corresponding data?
Second, there is a tab to enter new property details (the tab is not finished) as additional wells go on line. I can get it to the point where the input data will appear on the bottom of the PROPERTY DATA sheet. However, how can I create a dynamic range that will include this new information in the corresponding ComboBoxes on the first sheet automatically? Or, if there is a better way then a dynamic range to accomplish this, I would love to hear that too.

I have 2 comboboxes in the complett worksheets. By selecting some values in this comboboxes, I need some code that will copy automatically some data from worksheets a and b, to worksheet export.
For example if I select "a" and "A26" in the comboboxes, I need range E26:B26( 4 col to the right of A26) from "a" worksheet, to be copied with Paste Special /Values/ Transpose into "export" worksheet in range A1:A50. Also I need in range A51 from worksheet "export" the value "A26" selected in the second combobox. Also in range A52 from worksheet "export" the value from range H40 from "complett" worksheet.

I have a daily collection of data based on half hour meter readings. Responsibility for this data is to be split between core and non-core hours so for example core hours would be from 6:00 to 18:30.
What i would like to do is have a combobox for both the start time and end time allowing the user to change these as appropriate.
Where i'm struggling is using these comboboxes to select the data between these two times and total the values per row.
My data is currently arranged with the times (staring at 00:00) running horizontally on row 14.
