I have created a form which is called up via a macro and then shows a combobox which contains the names of the worksheets in the workbook.
I am trying to enable the user to select one of the worksheet names from the combobox and then store that name (the book does not have fixed sheet names) and continue with the original macro using the stored name.
I just can't figure out how to use the selected name in the original macro.
I’m trying to do a pull down with scrolling ability in a cell that references another worksheet. I want to look like the one that occurs when you use “Data Validation”. I’ve seen this in another workbook and it does not look like the used VBA.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a combobox from the Forms Toolbox inserted in a worksheet and have a macro assigned to run when the user selects a value. After the value is selected in the combobox I'd like the combobox to clear itself (show a blank). Currently the selected value stays highlighted in the combobox after the selection is made. I know how to do this with a Controls combobox, but cannot figure out how to use it with a Forms combobox. (The reason I am not using the controls cb is because there seems to be an Excel2007 bug that causes the properties of the displayed text to randomly change when the control is activated. When a selection is made in the controls cb, the text displayed in the cb turns bold, and either grows or shrinks in size to the point that it is unreadable. Same thing seems to happen with all other ActiveX controls...)
Sample attached.
Since Form Controls comboboxes don't allow font editing, I need to switch to ActiveX...
The combo box values come from the following cell range:
tbl_arrays!$I$3:$I$6
Those values are, from top to bottom: "select distance", "50 Miles", "100 Miles", "150 Miles".
The following macro is also assigned to the combobox:
[Code].....
I have two issues. The first is that the macro doesn't seem to be working. It is supposed to filter a list of cities within 50, 100 and 150 miles of a user input zip or city. The original Forms Control combo works but not ActiveX after I put the code in the change event:
[Code] .........
The second issue is that the last clicked value in the ActiveX comboBox replaces the top one.
Ex: from top to bottom, the combobox should display:
[Code] ........
but if the user clicks "100 Miles", the combobox is then going to display
[Code] ......
If the user then select "50 Miles", the box displays:
[Code] ........
I am trying to work out how i can run a macro on an 'initializing event'...which is caused by when I click on a certain Forms ComboBox.
This drop down box is a shape and it is called "Drop Down Box 11"
so was hoping to write something like
The box is linked in with Cell E56
so have put in my code as
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_selectionChange(ByVal Target As Object)
If Target.address = "$E$56" Then range("f56").value = "Yes" etc...
but it still allows me to click on the combo box and change my pick but it still doesn't initialize the event.
im using combobox from the forms toolbar. and i have tryed and searched lots of forms and sites but no results, so what im trying to do is change the font size to 12 in my combobox using VBA.
-im using xl2000
-i dont wanto switch to the combox in the active x becouse i have more than 70 comboboxs in this spread sheet. and it will also be very complicated to change the comboboxes due to all the link cell's and there values.
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.
When I make a comboBox selection from the dropdown menu, the menu stays down until the last statement of the comboBox code is finished. How do I make the dropdown disappear immediately after the selection is made?

I'm not on the site permenantly and keep dipping back in eveynow and again. I dont know what the issue is as when I open the file up I dont get any error messages. I have tried this on my machine using Office 2003 and Vista also another PC using Office 2003 and XP

The only error I get is a message saying Disk or Network error, when testing it on the XP Machine this is because doesnt have access to the Database it sends the data to.
I have a table in Excel which holds Names, StaffID & Times for working (Start & Finish Times)
When I open the form, it shows the times as a Number how can I get them to show as a Time (hh:mm)
sometimes pivot tables won't give me the details I want the way I want. any time my boss asks me for a monthly report I have to do everything manually from the pivot table and insert the data on another table where I put the filteres data. I want to be able to get a monthly sales report per store that will populate itself in a daily basis, I also want to be able to select a store, style, size and date from a form in Excel and see the report in a sheet. Aproblem that I have found in order to use the size as a parameter is that the size comes in the same line as the item description and do not know how to make excel to check just for the size in the description field.
The attached file contains sales data for a better understanding of my case.
I have created a form to input parking ticket data to a spreadsheet, it all works exactly as i want it to, but i really need it to tell me the next available number or empty line, so i can use that for filing and audit purposes, ideally i would like it to do sequential numbering, but i've been looking for weeks and cant find a soloution, i have basic knowledge of VBA and i'm really struggling with this,
View 9 Replies View Relatedtry 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

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?

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo I have a work book with a number of user forms. One form I have completed has several navigation buttons (previous, save, next......) a couple of drop downs and a "tabbed" (pages) area with a text box on each. I think I finally have it looking (and working) the way I want. The issue is I need 12 more that are Identical (different text - but layout and code is the same) To make them look and work the same how can I copy the one I have correct? Is Export/Import the way to go? Does that bring all the code?

VBA on user forms
I would like to know if it is possible to display a form using a variable containing the form name rather than the form name itself, I have tried everything I can think of and cannot make it work. I know I can use CASE SELECT but I have a large number of forms involved and would like to use a variable name if possible.

I am trying to graduate out of the crayon age of menus on a worksheet, to using a User Form Menu. Problem is, I don't understand how they work. I've created a test program using a simple form with an option button, a combo button, and a command button. The goal is if the option button is true, it places the color selected in the combo button on the worksheet. Here is my code, what am I missing to make it work?
Corrected code from my original request

Public ClrCd As Integer
Sub OpenForm1()
UsrFrm1.Show
End Sub
I am trying to put together two combo boxes, Combo1 and Combo2, the content of Combo2 will depend on the selection made in Combo1, for example Combo1 will have 10 items, once an item is selected Combo2 will have different sub selections relating to that item. I know you can do this via Validation, but the problem with that I have about 4000 options in the combo1 and about 60000 in the second, here is the structure of my data:
First Option /Second Option
Option1_____1.1
Option1_____ 1.2
Option1_____ 1.3
Option2_____ 2.1
Option2_____ 2.2
Option2_____ 2.3
Option3_____ 3.1
Option3_____ 3.2
Option3_____ 3.3
My ultimate final result should look like this, two drop down menus once Option1 is selected second drop down form should display these options:
Option1 /_____ 1.1
____________ 1.2
____________ 1.3

1) I have a scrollbar that gets set to UserForm1 height.... yet, if the form is taller than the page, it won't let me scroll down past what I can see on my computer screen... what would be the cause of that? I get a blinking black light on the scroll bar as well so there must be something I need to fix with that
2) In UserForm1, I have a multipage form with a page called Accounts... I am adding check boxes to it with code... right now it is adding it to the far left in UserForm1... what is the syntax to run my check box loop to populate the Accounts page in the Multipage form?
I've been creating forms/questionnaires, customer satisfaction type tings with Excel after I discovered that the previous ones were done on paper and it’s now my job to crunch the numbers for a report.
While I've been off learning how to do this in a suitable way for the office I work at, I've been neglecting the stack of papers from previous customer satisfaction surveys that are building up on my desk, about 200
So now rather than do what I think everyone else would do and make up the numbers. I thought I would just make a excel book with buttons for all the possible options on the survey and click them as I look through the papers.
So I need to learn how to make a button that, when clicked it would add a number to a cell. So if I clicked it 10 times, that cell would show 10.
so I can make the form with the buttons, what code/formula will I need to assign to the button to make it +1 to say, sheet2 A1?
I have spent a long while trying to figure out what i'm sure is a very simple problem. I have searched the archives and found nothing to specifically address my question.
Basically I am trying to export the data entered into an Excel form into the fields of a Word document template, so that i can print it according to a particular design.
I have managed to write the code successfully enough that the data is transferrred across to the right fields in Word, but I can't seem to work out how to transfer the subsequent rows. It is currently only exporting the second row (after the header).
Could anyone possibly look at my code and tell me how i can export the new values every time they are entered in the form and not just the first line?

I'm using forms toolbox to add textboxes on an user input sheet for my workbook.
There would be 3 textboxes included in the group box added to the user input sheet.
I'm struggling with the code to accomplish the following:
Textbox1 - is a % input. I would like the input to be formatted to 2 percentage points. In other words, if someone enters 2, it will show as 2.00% and I want the 2.00% to be recognized as such in the spreadsheet calculations. In other words, the input is used in the calculations in another sheet.
Code thus far (and I may be offbase on this):
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("rate").Value = TextBox1.Value
End Sub
Problem - the cursor is not moving and the result of the input is not showing. I would like the cursor to move from textbox1 to textbox2 to textbox3 by tab or enter button.
Textbox2 - is decimal input. I would like the input 5, it will formatted to show as 5.0. This input is used in the calculations in another sheet.
Private Sub TextBox2_Change()
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("multiple").Value = TextBox1.Value
End Sub
Textbox3 - is a result box based on the inputs from textbox1 and textbox2. I would like the result to be shown to the user in this textbox3 and for it to be greyed out and not to accept any inputs from the user.
That is, it is not an input box but rather a results box.

View 7 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to pass a variable between forms? For example, I have a textbox on a form that takes a date from a user. Next to the text box is a button that calls another form that is a selectable calender with each of the dates on the calender as buttons. If a date button is pressed a variable is created which I want to pass back to the first form and place it into the textbox.
