Comboboxes Producing Specific Lists
Jul 25, 2006
My objective is to create a "guide or cheat sheet" for the correct combination of various tools.
My user has to choose (1) Mother Tool and (2) If the tool is to be used uphole or downhole.
I need the spreadsheet to automatically limit the choices for Combinability that corresponds to uphole or downhole.
After selecting Combinability, the 4th ComboBox must automatically limit the choices specific to subs that fall under the tool chosen under combinability.
I can create a spreadsheet and color-code the combinations however it will be very busy as the list is very long.
I wanted to use ControlBoxes but I can't get it to work - my brain can't seem to connect the dots in VBA.

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!

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 trying to create a database where when 3 dependent drop down list selections are combined, information is displayed.
I've tried VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH but to no avail.
Attached is the spreadsheet and what I am trying to accomplish. On the first sheet ("budget form") is a table named "Event Costs - room hire". I have created three drop down lists that interact based on what you select. Some rooms offer different services and so are dependent on the selection.
However, I want the final box to display the price depending on what is selected in the previous 3 lists. The amounts and a table I have created is in the "Product Database" sheet and the table is labelled, "Room Hire Control C".

I know it has something to do with the way I am trying to complete the loop.
I have tried next i, I have tried if's instead of the do until but can't get it to work.
I want it to cycle through the x and if a value is found then paste into the corresponding i row. If the x value is blank then exit the loop.

I would like to use the following code to produce a message with two numbers in it, both showing an exact golf handicap to one decimal point. If a number is exactly 6 I want it to show as 6.0.
All works well for the number I'm collecting from the user and storing in newh. But I can't retain/produce the trailing zero from oldh which is formatted in the spreadsheet as Custom 0.0.

I want to make a little chart for easy reference that tells me due dates for projects, based on estimated completion times.
I'm already using NETWORKDAYS to find the amount of working days between today and a due date, but I want to flip the formula around, and I'm having trouble getting the syntax right.
For example, column A reads:
0
1
2
3
5
7
10
15
20
Estimated completion times for various projects.
So I want column B to read the date that this would render. A1, value 0, would always produce today's date for B1. B2 would always read one business day into the future, B3 would read as 2 business days into the future, B4 as 3 business days into the future. Does that make sense, and B5 as 5 bd into future.

s/s is very large and the need is to transfer formulas from one column to another. Column L contains formulas in cells L7:L45 (attachment) - (L7:L326415 in working s/s). Some of these formulas result in a value being given. I need to transfer formulas only from those cells having values to cells three columns to the left on the same row. I do have code which I was using for another application. This puts a formula in the correct places but it is the wrong formula and I don't know how to amend it so that it carries out the required action. Small attachment enclosed for better understanding of what is involved. Or could anyone change the line ".formula = ......" in the following code to make it work??

I have a workbook that if I use just the array formula for the totals it works fine and if I use data validation and vlookup and the array formula for the totals it is giving me a #Value! instead. I have tried a couple of things and did find that as long as I do not use the vlookup in the one column (column d) the array formula at the bottom works but as soon as I add the vlookup to column D I got the error.
I want to use the vlookup to get the values for items on a different page - along with the data validation and then use the array formula to get a total for multiple items in the above columns. I have attached a workbook.

I want to define a varible named MonthEnd that I will use in more than one project. In a normal example the variable would look like this:
Dim MonthEnd As String
MonthEnd = Format(Sheet1.Range("C3"), "MMYY")
The problem is that I will be using this more than one time so I figured I could define this a Public constant like
Public Const MontEnd As String = Format(Sheet1.Range("C3"), "MMYY")

This is kind of an extension to a previously solved post. For a similar problem I used the attatched file (which someone from here so kindly came up with - but to be honest i dont fully understand),
but now im getting onto numbers from 1 to 100 so could get very confusing in the table!
RANDOM TABLE2.xlsx
Basically I want to produced a random number, (which I have managed) then another number, but it cant have any common factors as the first.
So 1st = 10, 2nd = 13 is acceptable
but 1st = 22, 2nd = 12 is not.
I have managed to do it with smaller values by just typing then out, but this is a very long winded technique, but is there a formula that can do this?

3 7.37
4 38.45

I have created a macro some time ago that is an integrated part of an XLA. The Xla has worked fine but now, for some reason, the macro fails to import the specified text, it doesn't fail but nothing gets imported. I have tried solving this myself, but alas I am not bright enough
The code is:
Sub GetWorksheet()
Dim filetoopen As String
Dim wb As Workbook
filetoopen = Application _
. GetOpenFilename("XL Files (*.xls), *.xls")
On Error Resume Next

I'm trying to do a simple conditional format where the date is highlighted in red if the difference between that date and Todays date is greater than 90 days.
I've done the formula as =(TODAY()>$B5)>90, which appears to work in the sheet and shows either True or False but when inputting that formula into the conditional format it highlights every single cells.
Are conditional formatting formulas different?

I need to produce a summary of the monthly spend with parts suppliers for a number of vehicles, with each vehicle having it's own worksheet. The suppliers' names are in column C with the costs in column H.
So what I need to do is sum the results of column H on each worksheet when the supplier's name (which is on the same row) matches "Triple 7" and it's in the same month. The idea is to produce a sheet which displays the total spend each month with our suppliers.

Is there a way to make a drop-down list optional? When I create drop-down lists the user has to make a choice from that list.
Example: a list of doctors. I need the user to be able to select from that list if the patient saw one of those physicians, but if the patient saw another doctor not on the list, I need the user to be able to enter the name of that other doctor. Currently the user has to select from the list or not enter a doctor. I am using Excel 2003.

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'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?

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.
