When in a Combobox from the Control toolbox toolbar, the data for the Listfillrange are in a column (e.g.: myrange = $A:$A), it works fine. But when the data in myrange are in a row (eg.: myrange is =$1:$1) , the combobox shows nothing!. What can I do to show the combobox all data (A1,B1,C1,D1 - last data?) ?
View 9 RepliesI'm using a Combo Box the contents of which are on another worksheet.
This data is pulled in using a database query(MSQuery). The data source could be 5 lines long or thousands of lines long(Customer dependant).
I have tried specifying the listfillrange using $G5:$H8700 for example which works for the current dataset. If i change the dataset which only has range G5:H87 then the properties of the combobox listfillrange change to $G5:$H87 but the actual list has more than 82 lines and displays the 82 lines over and over again. I haven't counted the number of lines but it could be thousands.
Is it possible to use the Combobox ListFillRange to list values from two groups of cells? For example, in column 'A', I have the values, 1,2,3; and in Column 'B', I have the values, A, B, C. I want to list the values in column 'A' along with the value of say, B, in Column 'B'.
combobox.listfillrange = "Sheet1!A1:A3" < ---- how to include value B from column B in this list? Or, how to get value A from column B?
How do I set the font size property and special effect property in this code?
I was trying to answer a question on Experrt Exchange but Rory beat me to it and now I'm feeling frustrated that I can't get my solution to work.
Sub AddCombo()Dim rVals As Range, rCell As Range, lTop, lLef, lHeight, lWidth, lCount As LongSet rVals = ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeAllValidation)lCount = 1For Each rCell In rVals If rCell.Validation.Type = 3 Then lTop = rCell.Top lLeft = rCell.Left lHeight = rCell.Rows.Height lWidth = rCell.Columns.Width With ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(classtype:="Forms.ComboBox.1", Left:=lLeft, Top:=lTop, Width:=lWidth, Height:=lHeight) .Name = "NewCombo" & lCount .ListFillRange = rCell.Validation.Formula1 .LinkedCell = rCell.Address(0, 0) '.SpecialEffect = fmSpecialEffectFlat //doesn't work // '.FontSize = 14 //doesn't work // '.Font.Size = 14 // doesn't work // End With lCount = lCount + 1 End IfNext rCellEnd Sub
I like to use the combo box (Active X control). where I need to provide the range/List in the properties. While inputing the value in properties it is disappeared.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to fill a Listbox dynamically. I have a range labeled 'Dates'. This range is created dynamically when i click a refresh button. New dates are grabbed from a database, then inserted into a worksheet, then the range 'Dates' is created to define the list of dates from the database. Also, I have a Clear Button. This button deletes all the dates in the worksheet, which I would want to clear all of the selections in the Listbox.
My Questions are:
1) How do i dynamically update a listbox with a Dynamic Named Range? I currently have vba to assign the ListFillBox property with the range name. However, when i click refresh to grab a new list of dates, the ListBox object freezes and/or does not refresh with the new dates.
2) How do i clear the listbox. Currently, I have vba to assign ListFillBox = "", however this will freeze the listbox and/or not clear its content.
I am using a multiselect listbox object.
I have a named range that populates a list box. The spreadsheet has a macro that allows additions to the list. The macro will expand the range to include the addition but the List box does not show the update unless I save the workbook and reopen. How can I accomplish this without having to close and reopen?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOn Sheet1 I have ListBox1 referencing data from Sheet2 for the ListFillRange property. The Listbox is a control box added on to the worksheet.
I wish to have a VBA Subroutine that defines the ListFillRange dynamically according to the size of the source data range. ie. Sometimes the range is AH3:AL300, othertimes the range could be AH3:AL200 etc. The last row of data needs to be the last selection in the Listbox.
The range looks like:
1 10:00 blah
2 10:05 moreblah
etc
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 need to populate two combo boxes from excel sheet, the data will be like below:
Column A Column B
A 1
A 2
A 3
A 4
A 5
B 100
B 101
B 102
So from the above data, one combo box should hold unique values A & B.
On selecting a value from the 1st combo box A or B, respective values should be populated in 2nd combo box.
So the data should be like below:
If A is selected in the 1st combo box, then 2nd combo box should only show the values 1,2,3,4 & 5.
If B is selected in the 1st combo box, then 2nd combo box should only show the values 100,101 & 102.
Friends I need it in a macro and one important point is, this is dynamic and it is not static and the data can be more.

Although the question I'm about to ask is not related to Excel, but related to MS Word, the coding is similar.

Within my code I have restricted the toolbar options that a user can access (i.e. for Menu Option 'Edit''Tools'):
Set myCmd = CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Edit")
myCmd.Controls("Delete Sheet").Enabled = False
But if the user wishes to delete the sheet, they can select the specific WorkSheet 'Tab' and Right-Click to Insert/Delete/Rename the sheet etc.
How do 'hide' these options within VBA? Or is there a Menu setting that I can be set to Enabled = False?
try and achive is when a user selects a item from the 1st Combobox the 2nd Combobox is the populated with the cell that is to the right of the selected item.
for Example if a user selects AAB from combobox1,, Combobox2 should populate with Belly.
Maby using combobox1_Exit for the excercise.
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
[Code].....
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.
How can i Loop through a combobox's values and compare to a string value and then set the listindex of the combobox to that value?

I have a problem with the PivatTable properties in Excel and VBA. The problem is as follows:
This is a example table:
Sum of store_sales time_id product_id store_id 367 368 369 1 3 6 7 11,4 11 13 14
(the format is not real clear, but I will explain)
This is a part of a PivotTable where:
Sum of Store_sales is located in the datafield(one record; 11,4)
product_id and store_id are Row-Items
Time_id is a column item.
Now, I want the properties of the cell containing 11,4. I've made it so far in VBA that I can ask what his column-items and his row-item are.
Column = Application.Range(chosenCell).PivotCell.ColumnItems.Item(1)
Row = Application.Range(chosenCell).PivotCell.RowItems.Item(1)
Row2 = Application.Range(chosenCell).PivotCell.RowItems.Item(2)
But how do I get VBA to return the valueheaders of those columns and rows? So actually, I want VBA to also return the names: product_id, store_id and time_id. This is because I need those headers to create a query which I send to a Access database.
Is someone able to give me a hint? Is there a method for this in VBA?

I am trying to use VBA to change the caption of checkboxes in "Sheet 2" when I change the value of a cell "A1" in "Sheet 1".
This code is working:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)If Intersect(Target, ActiveSheet.Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Worksheets("Sheet 2").CheckBox1.Caption = "New Caption"End Sub
But there are 6 checkboxes in Sheet 2 and I would like to do something like this:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)If Intersect(Target, ActiveSheet.Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
For i = 0 to 5Worksheets("Sheet 2").Control("CheckBox" & i+1).Caption = "Box" & i+1Next iEnd Sub
This doesn't work.. So I guess the Control-function is wrong.
