Combobox Dropdown Selection Makes Desired Value Appear In Cell
Mar 14, 2012
I have searched and have not been able to find an answer to this question so it might be a little unique possibly. I have an ActiveX combo box that I am trying to do something with. The text that I want to appear in the combo box is already there and I did this by creating a list and referencing it to the combo box. So the combo box has the following four items in its drop down:
Boat
Car
Plane
Walk
Now the part I cannot figure out is how to make a selected value appear in another cell based on what was selected in the combo box. For example, if boat is selected in the combo box, then I want the value 25 to appear in a cell. If Plane is selected in the combo box, I want the value of 100 to appear in a cell. For walk 5, and for car 22. I know this can easily be done with data validation and a validation drop down list but I do not want to use that but need to have a combo box do it instead. I just don't know if it cannot be done as a list or not and have experimented with INDEX but not having any luck there. I do not want to use any macros for this either. Basically I am wondering how I can make my combo box work just like data validation drop down menu bar with formatted values outputted into a cell.

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.

1st post so hope that title isn't too vague.
Using VBA, I have a macro that will find a column based on a week number and add in a new column.
It will then offset the ActiveCell down one.
I now need the macro to SUM all values in that row to the left of the ActiveCell.
My original thought was to use:
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToLeft)).Select
Unfortunately, there are gaps in the data field, blank cells that should count as zero value.
How can I highlight all cells to the left, from whichever column the active cell is in, through to column B?

I have an (organization) work book that contains departments in different tab with each department having its own tab. In each tab is the employee name, dept manager, dept number and emp number. In the CoverSheet (main sheet) I want to put the department numbers in a drop down menu.Upon selection of a department number i want to Look in the whole workbook to see where the department number is, pull up the department head and all the employees in that department with their employee numbers
The reason for this is that I want to be able to add a button to delete/edit to be able to edit employee details centrally from this particular (CoverSheet) sheet and update the relevant sheet.
Also put in an input box to add employees and update the relevant tab (department)

I have 3 name range in a control sheet ("Control")
Namerange Cat1, Cat2, Cat3. All of the name range are different. I am trying to cut down on my Userform that have each a userform with combobox selection.
Frmcat1, frmcat2 frmcat3.
I need to simplify my life. I need that if the user selects anything between F5:F20 to generate the userform and select range Cat1. If the user Select G5:G20 then to generate Cat2 and so on...
So on userform Initialize look if the user is in Column F, is yes then Cat1. If user in Col. G then Cat2 and final if user is in Col H to have Cat3 generate in the combobox.

I am looking for assisitance in combining the functionality of two seperate combo box code sets. The first combo box code set allows the combo box to automaticially appear when a user Clicks on a cell that contains a data validation list. The second set of code will have a combo box appear when a user Double-clicks on a cell that contains a data validation list. And the code allows for Named Ranges on a seperate worksheet.
I would like to have the functionality of having the combo box to appear when a user Clicks on a cell and not having to Double-click. Also, I would like to have the option to use Named Ranges on a seperate worksheet ("Validation Lists").
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim str As String
Dim cboTemp As OLEObject
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
On Error Goto errHandler
If Target.Count > 1 Then Goto exitHandler
Set cboTemp = ws.OLEObjects("TempCombo")
On Error Resume Next
If cboTemp.Visible = True Then
With cboTemp
.Top = 10
.Left = 10
.ListFillRange = ""
.LinkedCell = ""
.Visible = False
.Value = ""
End With
End If................

I want to select a customer name from a ComboBox in a UserForm and populate a TextBox with additional customer information for the end user. The additional customer information is always located in C3 in sheet2 (the result of a formula). However, the text box only refreshes when I click into it. Is it possible to have it refresh without clicking into the userform textbox)? I’ve tried _Change and _Afterupdate. I'm sure this must be easy for anyone but a novice like myself. Sample attached (play marco...button dead?).
Private Sub ComboBox1_Initialize()
Me.TextBox1.Text = ""
End Sub
Private Sub ComboBox1_Afterupdate()
Me.TextBox1.Text = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("C3").Value
End Sub

I found many examples on this forum of how one can pull in data from closed workbooks, or copy it and have it stored in the active sheet. So far so good, but I need a solution which would do the opposite - I need the macro to take a range of data form the active sheet store it in a closed workbook and save any changes in the target workbook without opening it.

If a user selects certain options from a drop down list created by cell verification (from list), is it possible to display an input box and have the resulting input populate on another worksheet in the workbook? I have an attendance template I'm working with and if a user selects OT (Over Time) then a input box is displayed prompting for how many hours. The overtime is then tracked on another worksheet.

I have a workbook with two sheets. The idea behind the workbook is an Interview Guide to be used just before an Interview. For now my problem is this.
Sheet 2 "Competencies" is just data. It stores competencies with their associated definitions and questions.
Sheet 1 "Control Page" is the sheet where the questions will eventually go. The user (Interviewer) will input data on the first two pages which will include name of candidate, date of interview etc. but they will also select 5 Competencies from the already existing drop down menus on page two. From there as the selections are made I wish for a code to copy the corresponding definition on sheet 'Competencies" to cells lower down in sheet "Control page".
I don't see a place to upload a file as I have a sample of the sheet ready to go.

I have a dynamic drop down list using OFFSET and want to change a selection of cell colors based on the drop down selection. My drop down list is located in cell G4 and the cells I want to change are
=$C$9,$C$10,$C$11,$B$11,$B$12,$C$12,$B$13,$C$13,$C$14,$C$15,$H$15,$H$14,$H$13.
These are random cells. There is no value in the cells, I just want to change the color from green to gray.

If I make a selection using a drop down, can I have it auto populate another cell with information associated only to the made selection? For instance, if I select January from drop down in A1, I want it to auto populate B1 with 100.

I created a UserForm then linked ComboBox1 to range A2:A, TextBox2 to range E2:E, and ComboBox3 to range M2:M of the same worksheet, named Sheet3. The row contents in Column A, Column E, and Column M are associated. Therefore, when the UserForm is active I want to be able to select a row from Column A in ComboBox1 and have the UserForm pull the contents from the same row of Column E into TextBox2, and Column M into ComboBox3. Here is what I have so far, but its not quite doing it.
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Sheets("Sheet3").Activate
Dim ColARange As Range

I have a table, headers "FirstName" and "SurName".
Further a Userform with 2 Comboboxes "FirstName" and "SurName"
I'd like to choose the FirstName (say Jack) in the "FirstName" combobox, and based on that get the choice of the Surnames of all my Jacks in the "SurName" combobox.
Actually my sheet has much more fields and comboboxes, but i think my problem is just that I do not find a way to populate them dynamically.

[URL]....When I select a name in column B, it populates column C's dropdown with that name's list of units. When I select a unity type in column C, I'd like it to automatically populate column E in the same row with the value associated with that unit. The values associated with a particular unit can be found to the right of the sheet. So if in row 2 I select Blake in column B, then Unit 5 in column C, I'd like column E to be populated with 14.
Edit: using Excel 2007.
I attached stripped down version of the sheet which is small enough to post. None of the things I removed should affect the topic at hand. The full sheet is available at rapidshare.

I have a cell in my spreadsheet that I use to control the size of a column. I formatted the cell as a number and added data validation to make sure the number is greater than zero. Then I realized that I need to also allow for the option of auto sizing the column as well. This would require a data validation list type with something like True and False for the choices.
What I want to be able to do is have it both ways. I want a drop down list in that cell with the options Auto Size or Custom. If Auto Size is selected the cell value gets set to that. If Custom is selected I then want to be able to type in a number.

Is there a way to setup a cell such that the value is either an item from the drop down list or, entered directly (depending on the list selection)?
I know I can do it with dependent lists but that would require two cells, one for the auto size mode (true/false) and the other for manual width value.

I have read through numerous posts, but cannot get one thing to work. I am using Excel 2003, and am trying to get a calendar to pop up, to select a date, and then return that date to Cell B2.
I was successful at making the calendar pop up by the following methods:
1. Added a button to the toolbar, and assigned the Calendar Macro to it.
2. Using VB, added a sub-menu item to the right-click (context) menu, using the code below.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.OnKey "+^{C}", "Module1.Macro2"
End Sub
However, my goal is to make the calendar appear when I click on cell B2.
I tried using the following code, but when I click on B2 nothing happens.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$B$2" Then UserForm1.Show
End Sub
I also tried:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Excel.Range, Cancel As Boolean)
With Worksheets(ActiveCell.Worksheet.Name)
If ActiveCell.Column = 2 Then
If ActiveCell.Row = 1 Then
UserForm1.Show
End If
End If
End With
End Sub

I want to set a conditional formatting rule that makes a cell red or green depending on if the value in the cell is larger or smaller than the value in another cell +2% or -3%. If neither of these conditions are met no formatting should be applied..
a) In the cell (R104) where the condition is set I have the following formula:
=if(BP104=0;"";BQ104/BP104) (the values in BP104 and BQ104 is retrieved from a database)
b) The conditions I've set in R104 are the following
1) =isblank($R$104) (condition: "nothing")
2) =$R$104<$R$106-0,02 (condition: "red")
3) =$R$104>$R$106+0,03 (condition: "green")
c) In cell R106 the value there is a value of 90%
The conditions seem to work fine when the value in R104 is higher or lower than the conditions set in 2 and 3 above but when the value is blank in R104 the cell goes green, which it shouldn't.

I would like to do a routine in VBA on excel 2007 that makes the following:
1- When the mouse is over a cell it pops-up a window that shows a picture;
2- When the pointer is removed from the cell the window that contains the picture closes;
It is very important that the picture that is shown be adressed by a relative path from the folder in which is the excel file.
The pictures can change; this is the reason that the picture should be addressed by a path.

What I am looking for is a combobox that is linked to a list of clients (column A of worksheet "Clients").
I would like the user to click on the combobox and select a client name. If the client is new then I would like the user to be able to type in the new name and, then have that name available in the "Clients" names that appear the next time the user clients on the combobox.

I have a cell range with the following data:
A 1 2 3
B 4 5 6
C 7 8 9
On another worksheet, I have multiple comboboxes from the Controls toolbar in a column, each having possible selections are based on the data in a column 1 above (ie. A,B,C). When a selection is made in any of these comboboxes, cells to the right of the combobox get populated with the corresponding remaining data from the above cell range - ie. when A is selected, 1,2,3 appears to the right of the combobox, when B is selected, 4,5,6, etc. I want to be able to make selections from within combo boxes, not only by using the combo box dropdown and select mechanism, but also, if possible, by pasting a cell range whose data matches one of the existing selections available in the combobox definition. In other words, if I have a single column cell range from somewhere with the following data in 1 row:...............

I am programming some kind of database in excel and using comboboxes as drop down lists to enter some of the information in the DB. My problem is that when the file is saved, closed and then opened again, all of the comboboxes have lost their selection. I think that using the ControlSource might help but for some reason I can't find the proper syntaxe to make it works. Actually I am getting a Run time error 438: This object doesn't support this property or method.
I have included the relevant portion of my code below. Is the ControlSource property going to solve my problem? If so, what is the syntax I must use? If not, what can I do to make sure that my ComboBoxes are going to keep their selection?
ActiveSheet. OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms. ComboBox.1", Link:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=hori_offset - 220, Top:=vert_offset + 78, _
Width:=180, Height:=24.75).Select
With ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("ComboBox1").Object
.Font.Size = 14
.Font.Bold = True
.Style = fmStyleDropDownList 'Use drop-down list
.BoundColumn = 0 'Combo box values are ListIndex values
End With
With ActiveSheet.Shapes("ComboBox1")
.OLEFormat.Object.ControlSource = "Q1"
.OLEFormat.Object.ListFillRange = "M1:M8"
