Control Toolbox ComboBox To Return Chosen List Number
Aug 18, 2006
I'm using combo boxes. Initially I used combo boxes from the Forms toolbar, however the text in the combo box was to small. Now I'm using combo boxes from the Control tool bar. However, i would like the link cell to show the number of the entry in the list (like the forms control box) and not the actual entry. Is there an option I need to select in properties, or is there some VB code I can attach to the combo box ?
I am trying to find a formula that references a cell on a spreadsheet (H7) which is really a Combo Box that is located on a range of cells K25:K30. I want to put a formula in H18, but of course, the combo box always references the range on K. i have tried the $K$25:K430, but i don't know what i am doing. The drop down menu and everything works fine, but the data IS stored elsewhere. HOW do i tell Excel to look at K25:K30,(depending on choice within combo) and then ad H8:H19? I have looked, but all answers are for forms. I am doing this for final exercise for a university course, and (hmmhmm) must folllow obtuse instructions.
I have a combo box, which is used after a search. The box only identifies a list of cells, but to the right of that, is somemore info that i need.
I would like it, so when you bring down the list window, and pick from the list, it knows which Address it is, so it can then HLOOKUP the information in the next column.
I can't seem to make it happen. I either cannot get it to let me know the Address of the cell I had choosen, or I cannot make it look to the right, and put the contents into another text box...
I have something like this:
Addresslist.plant = addrlist.offset(,5).value
how do i make it find the location ie $D$5 of the of item i selected from a combo box?
I'm trying to build a Userform with a combo box that is populated by a row of data, this will allow the user to select the column of data. What i want to do is find out the address of the data that is selected so I can work with.
ie A1 = Apple B1 = Orange C1 = Grape
if the user selects "Grape" I want to find out the column that it is in. Also the Row of data is Dynamic so I need to re-check the range each time.
i have been having this problem with my version of excel at work and it is driving me crazy. First of all this is excel 2000. For a while now I have been unable to use the control toolbox - when I click it - nothing happens. In the meantime I havent been doing anthing really serious so I used the forms toolbar. I have tried using the control toolbox in word - and it works - just in case someone had been messing around and uninstalling things. Is there anyway that I have hidden it somewhere?
I have added a button to asign a macro to but for the life of me cant see how to "activate" the button. I am trying to click the button to make the macro run but it keeps selecting the button like it wont come out of design view.
I've just finished writing some vb code that i need to assign to a button. Trouble is I select the control toolbox and put it design mode and all of the icons with the tool box are greyed out. pic attached below
pukks Auto Merged Post;Doh Doh and double doh!
Problem solved: I inadvertently had selected more than one worksheet tab and this was stopping me from placing a button on the worksheet.
i've gotta demo an Excel app in a few days and this never really bothered me, but someone recently pointed out that it can get distracting for the Control Toolbox to pop in and out randomly. the form is being built for use by other staff, and i suppose it would also be distracting for them if the toolbox arbitrarily appeared here and there. is there a way to turn it off?
I have a spreadsheet with check boxes and a combo box that are set to display in print preview as well as print. I have set up a Print Preview button on this spreadsheet, as well. When you click the Print Preview button and then click close on the preview window and return to the spreadsheet, the control toolbox tools appear out of place and are greatly magnified. Scrolling the screen down and then back makes them appear correctly once again.
I have seen this on this spreadsheet on three different computers. Does anyone have a clue what is going on?
Note, clicking the print preview button on the standard toolbar does not provide the same artifact. It works correctly.
Or for the cheap fix, what is the VB script to move the cursor to a different cell and then return back?
I've started experiencing a strange problem. The control toolbox keeps appearing when the first page on a multipage userform is activated. I can't figure out what's causing this, and after searching the forum, with no luck, I thought I would see if anybody else is experiencing the same problem, and how to fix it.
I am using a form textbox on a worksheet. I have the textbox positioned where I need it to be but when I print the worksheet the textbox moves out of position.
I have an excel workbook where on several of the worksheets I have Control Toolbox Textboxes inserted into the sheet. The Textboxes are for when a user wants to type notes onto the worksheet.
My issue is that the Textboxes do not allow the user to edit the font because the VBA project is locked.
How can I allow users to edit the font in the Textbox without giving the VBA password away to the user?
1. I have a userform with a combobox that displays unique values from column A of the worksheet. I have a number of fields for each record going from columns A to J and A1:J1 is headings.
When user selects any particular record from the drop down list, it displays all the related fields on the labels on userform.
The column J is not initially completed for every record. But users put their feedback in column J (which done via userform) as they go. This does not happen in any particular order.
I am wondering if I can make the combobox pickup entries with no values in their column J.....in other words, can the combobox ONLY display the records that havent got user feedbacks in front of them in column J ?
So once a record has recieved a feedback in column J, its not seen again in the combobox.....to avoid doubling up on feedbacks.
2. Also, what code would I use to select the row source for the combobox? As the number of entries in the worksheet are growing the combobox rowsource range needs to grow automatically.
My worksheet is called "ComplaintData" which hidden, Combobox is called "complaintdis" and it needs to display values from column A in the dropdownlist.
I've built the code for a Template form for data entry of a survey. Through Control Toolbox I've created the form and used several textboxes, option buttons, checkboxes and COMBO boxes this one in turn being my trouble. - Sheet one is called "Data" (this is the place where all inserted information is going to be stored - Sheet two: "Variables" (here is where I keep the required values for the como boxes - inserted manually apriorely... Question: What is the code to assing to the combo boxes in order to have the values from the sheet "Variables" of the range A1:A4 - use the comboboxq2 for referee, I'll do the others P.S. see the code up to now:
Private Sub CommandButtonN_Click() Dim eRow As Long Dim ws As Worksheet Dim inf As WorksheetFunction
Set ws = Worksheets("Data") Set ws = Worksheets("Variables")
' Find first empty row in database survey eRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row ................
I have a bunch of Option Buttons in a worksheet whose properties i need to change by running a macro. For example, I created an OptionButton1 in a worksheet using control toolbox. Now I want to run a macro to change it's name, groupname, linkedcell and caption. I did this macro but it doesn't work:
Sub Label() Dim Code1 As String Dim Link1 As String Dim Form1 As String Dim GroupName1 As String Dim Caption1 As String Worksheets("Section1").Select Form1 = "OptionButton1" Code1 = "FButton1" Link1 = "FLink1" 'Defined in worksheet GroupName1 = "FGroup1" Caption1 = "Choose Function 1" With Worksheets("Section1").Form1 .Name = Code1 .LinkedCell = Link1 .GroupName = GroupName1 .Caption = Caption1 End With End Sub
I am attempting to put in some dropdown boxes and text boxes and maybe some other items using the control toolbox in Excel. After a selection is made I would like to count that particular item. I was using the validation method in which all I needed was the following to sum up the selections made: =SUMIF(G:G,"Monday",I:I)
Now I realize this will not work due to the fact the control toolbox controls are embeded and merley sit on the cells. How do I sum selections made using drop down boxes that are derived from the control toolbox? If someone can give me an example to try or point me to a place to find such information that would be great.
Im trying to create many option buttons on my sheet and then change the GroupName and Name properties but im having no luck in accessing the properties. Here is the code ive got at the moment, could someone tell me how to access these properties. Shown below is a small section of the code, if you require the full code i will happily provide it. This is my first post and im not sure if this code tag thing has been done properly:
n = 18 Call Section_Header Range("D" & n - 1).Value = " Case" For i = 1 To UBound(Name_Case, 1) Range("D" & n + i).Value = Name_Case(i) Range("M" & n + i).Value = Cost_Case(i) ActiveSheet. OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.OptionButton.1", _ Left:=628, Top:=(n - 1) * 15.75 + (1 * 6) + (i - 1) * 15.75, Width:=46.5, Height _ :=15.75).Select Next i
I created some excel 2003 spreadsheets to use for Fire/Police dispatchers. I have a series of yes/no option buttons that were created using the control toolbox. I have a macro that clears all the blanks where text is added, but want to add a line that clears the option buttons also.
Can i use for this "live search" in column range any control toolbox or form? only what i want is during writting name it will be shows the results in any textbox or so.
Control box or form can not be programmed so, that after each character check the range and return the results.
Is there a way to calculate a conditional minimum? I have a range of 1000+ values and I need to find the minimum, but the minimum has to be greater than a specified minimum threshold
which of these toolbars provides the better 'controls' to paste onto worksheets (as opposed to UserForms)? For those wondering, both toolbars contain some apparently similar controls, e.g., combo box, radio button, spinner etc. but there are differences in their behaviour it would seem...
how I would display a simple msgbox to a user if a date they select from monthview isn't a date I want them to select. They can only chose dates between aug and dec 07 and i have the code lines
If MonthView1.Month = "12" And MonthView1.day = "15" Then december15.december15
I have a worksheet that has a Calendar on a worksheet from Calendar Control 8.0.
I want to be able to pick a month from the calendar and press a button to convert the selected month into a worksheet. I have a custom made calendar worksheet that I would like for it to be converted into.
I have uploaded my workbook. It contains the custom calendar worksheet as well as the calendar control.
I've created drop down box using VBA code. Data for drop down box is on the Sheet2 and drop down box created on Sheet1. Need code I have to use to copy selected value from box to any cell on Sheet1 (i.e. Sheet1.A5). Here is my
Private Sub Workbook_Open() CreateMyBox End Sub
Sub CreateMyBox() Dim MyBox As Excel.Shape With ActiveSheet Set MyBox = .Shapes.AddFormControl(xlDropDown, 5, 17, 175, 15) End With With MyBox .Name = "MyBox" .Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)..................
I have, 10 combobox, if the user makes click in the combo,start the event combobox1_change, and the value of the combobox is searching in excel, when find it, move one cell toward the cell of the left, and the value of the cell of the left is shown in a label, that work.
But I need copy teen time the same code? (My english is very bad) this is the
Private Sub ComboBox2_Change() If Sheets.Application <> "Materiales" Then Sheets("Materiales").Select End If
I have a userform which manipulates data based on the userselection from the combo box. I have setup the userform so that the user may select up to 3 sheets due to the presence of 3 combos boxes. I need to writing an IF statement which checks to see if combobox1 is occupied to carry out a function, followed by it checking to see if combobox2 is occupied to carry out the function, and then checks to see if combobox3 is occupied and carries out the funciton.
As such, if only 1 combo box is occupied it would then only carry out the operation on combobox1's selection, and if none are occupied, nothing occurs, the box simply stays open. This is what I have so far, I know there is probably a more eligant way of writing such a If/Then/Else statement
Sub Start() If UserForm1.ComboBox1.Value And UserForm1.ComboBox2.Value > 0 Then Call Find1 Call kTest1 End If
If UserForm1.ComboBox3.Value And UserForm1.ComboBox4 > 0 Then Call Find2 Call kTest2 End If................
Right now I am constructing a macro so that upon exection, the user will be forced to select one of the dropdown menu options which are listed in a dynamic array. The dropdown menu should be in a popup of somekind created by the macro and not on any of the worksheets or charts. I would like to then assign the choice that the user makes to a variant. I have searched the web but not found what I am looking for and was hoping that someone could give me some phydocode that I can look at. The restrictions that I am operating by do not allow me to place a combobox upon any of the worksheets which is what I find in all the examples posted online.
