View 12 Repliessuccessfully use Activex combobox on the worksheet, (excel 2003)
without the code from other boxes being triggered at random.
Or should I give this up, and use a form to house these controls? ( I have no Knowledge on this)
I've tried certain IF then statements to protect the excecutable, but it seems, that, even boxes in other books are looked at, with a simple call statement (to a macro in module)
Having a real problem in Isolating these things.
Try to get the code to activate when you select the same Item twice, It seems none of the procedures do this. I made a workaround with using two procedures, but it's a bit clumsy.
How do I reference the value contained within a combobox using VBA?
I have tried the following:
ActiveSheet. OLEObjects("cmbSearchType").Object.Value
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("cmbSearchType").Value
Sheets("mySheet").OLEObjects("cmbSearchType").Value
Sheets("mySheet").OLEObjects("cmbSearchType").Object.Value
I'm wanting to use the drop-down combo box as a simple way for the user to choose what type of search they wish to perform on the spreadsheet. The search algorithm chosen depends upon the current value show in the combo box.
I am using Excel 2007.
I've created a workbook on whose main sheet there are three activex comboboxes. The first one contains a list of years, and the second one contains a list of months. The user selects the year, and it goes to its linked cell. The user then selects a month, and using the Combobox_Click event, should run a sequence of 7 macros (i.e. using the "call updateinformation1" macro, which is the first of the seven updateinformation macros).
The sequence of macros ran fine before I added the comboboxes. After adding the comboboxes, the final (7th) macro somehow goes back to the first macro and then causes a "ClearContents method of Range class failed" error on the "Selection.ClearContents" line. These are the first and seventh macros:
Sub updateinformation1()
'clears previous information to make way for new information
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Worksheets("Criteria2").Activate
Cells.Select
Selection.ClearContents
I can't for the life of me figure out why it's looping back to the first macro instead of just stopping after the seventh. I have other workbooks that do something similar, and I don't have this problem. Am I missing something?
if I need to post all 7 macros?
I have an application were I would like to use an Active X combo box instead of a regular dropdown list. The list contains 64 items and the text becomes very small in a standard dropdown list. Using an Active X Combo Box allows me to enlarge the text for easier viewing but with 64 items the list tends to run off the sheet. Is their a switch or some other way (scrolling) to make it more viewer friendly?

I was able to name and populate the list into the combo box, but am trying to work a macro into it.
I have a large data sheet with with many columns. In this worksheet, I also placed the combo box. What I would like to do is to be able to click on a name in the combo box and have it filter Column H, where there are many data points.
For example, In column H I have Apples, Watermelons, Peaches, etc.
In the combo box list, I would like to click on Apples and Column H list only the Apple names. Then if I want to click on Watermelons, it would filter Column H to only those which have Watermelons listed...
I have 100 combo boxes on an excel sheet, they are divided in three sets (1-25, 26-50, 51-100). Each set has the same value within the set, but is different from the other.
Right now I am able to populate the combo boxes using the following code
Code:
ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.AddItem "Value1"
ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.AddItem "Value2"
ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.AddItem "Value3"
^ This is time consuming and error prone. Is there a way I can use a variable to populate the combo boxes?
I have been able to find the following code, but it does not work.
Code:
Dim ComboBox As ObjectFor ComboBoxCalc1 = 1 To 25
Set ComboBox = ComboBox(ComboBoxCalc1).Select
ActiveSheet.ComboBox(ComboBoxCalc1).AddItem "Value1"
ActiveSheet.ComboBox(ComboBoxCalc1).AddItem "Value2"
ActiveSheet.ComboBox(ComboBoxCalc1).AddItem "Value3"

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 have a name list on sheet2, column A that will have names added to and removed from. Everytime this list is modified it sorts in ascending order and creates a new sheet named after the name added. These items are added to an ActiveX combo box on sheet1. I need to know how to link the item in the combo box to the corresponding sheet(ex: item: "Jim", sheet name: "Jim").
View 2 Replies View RelatedSince 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:

I have a golf teetime reservation spreadsheet. For each tee time there can be up to four players names so I use 4 columns. Times are listed in rows every 10 minutes beginning 6am until 5pm for a total of 66 rows per day. I have a member/customer list that I have on a separate sheet that I've named. I am using the ActiveX combo box next to each possible entry (so 4 columns times 66 rows = 264 combo boxes). It's a little slow and takes a long time to open. I like the ActiveX combo box because it allows me to define the box format and display and it allows search/read/write capability. The idea is the customer calls, I ask what time they want and we arrive upon an available time. I ask for a last name, I click the combo box, type the first letter of the first name and then scroll if necessary to the name and click it to add the name to the time/player cell. If no name in my list we simply type it in and I'll capture it next time I refresh my customer list.
way to dynamically define the linkedcell in the properties so that instead of 264 combo boxes, I might have one combo box that I can click on and then direct my selection to the cell I want it to go into.
I am trying to change the font size on my combo box using VBA.
I create the combobox dynamically, so need to be able to change the font too.
This is how I create the combobox, however the .Font.Size = 10 does not work and the default font size is 11.
Code:
With ActiveSheet .OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.ComboBox.1", Link:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=159.75, Top:=80.25, Width:=75.75, Height:=19.5) _
.Font.Size = 10
.Name = "cmbBaseD"
.OLEObjects("cmbBaseD").ListFillRange = "DynRng"
End With
I found a code on [URL] that claims that it will do what I want to achieve. I tried it but it is not working for me. Here is the code
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, _
Cancel As Boolean)
Dim str As String
[Code]....
How to verify that this code is a working code and not just bogus one?
I've searched the web and OzGrid all day, and still have this question: what is the equivalent for .OnAction when using a ComboBox as shown in the code below. Everything else works as desired.
Loopcntr = 1
Set xyz = ActiveSheet. OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.ComboBox.1", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False, _
Left:=Target.Left, Top:=Target.Top, Width:=Target.Width, Height:=Target.Height)
'''??? xyz.OnAction = "TDListing"
xyz.Object.BackColor = RGB(204, 255, 204)
Do While Loopcntr <= TaskListArraySizeHolder
DDholdName = TaskListArray(Loopcntr)
xyz.Object.AddItem DDholdName
Loopcntr = Loopcntr + 1

I need the value of active x control textbox on my worksheet 1, to be copied to a textbox in my userform, that pops up from that sheet....

I have a worksheet that I am using to collect information about individaul jobs. I have entered combobox's on the sheet not in a userform. I have it working well but it will not copy the combobox's to a new sheet. Here is the code I am using.

I have an activeX combo box with dates in the following quarterly format (dec-14, march-15, july-15 etc), with the following code:
[Code] .....
However' while each code works fine standalone, the two codes wont work together - and the listindex reverts back to 0.
I have a workbook with a combo box.
ActiveX control? (=EMBED("Forms.ComboBox.1","") They are filled using named ranges on another worksheet and work fine. The problem happens when I share the workbook the combo boxes become completely non-functional. They don't even drop down when clicked.
=AVERAGEIFS(MFI,DATE,">="&JanStart,DATE,"<="&JanEnd)
MFI is the named ranged that is referencing a column of data. This works, but I want to be able to change the MFI to a different named ranged.
So what I am trying to do is using an ActiveX Combo box so I can reference the named ranges that I have set, for example MFI, so each time a user chooses MFI or another named range, it will output to a linked cell (A1). Then the linked cell will be referenced into this forumla.
=AVERAGEIFS(A1,DATE,">="&JanStart,DATE,"<="&JanEnd)
Is it possible for A1 to be linked to the named range, so if the user choses MFI in the combo box, it will change all AverageIFS formulas to look at a different named range.
Here is my code:
Code:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
ActiveSheet.Rows("3:62").Hidden = False
Range("D1").Value = ComboBox1.Text
End Sub
I get a runtime error '1004' when I make my combo box selection. I don't have any security or password protection type stuff. The combo box is part of a more complicated spreadsheet and I don't want to switch to a data validation type drop down and I really want it to be activeX.
I've been tackling this data capture/paste issue for a week or so. I found the string below which does provide a good foundation for my challenge. But, my basic level of understanding macros limits my modifications to meet my needs.
[URL] ......
I have 20 worksheets in my master file corresponding to Excel files individual associates will update weekly. After the associates have updated their individual files for the week, I want to capture the data entered and paste values into a master file containing a worksheet for each associate (sharing the same name as the individual associate file). All of these files are housed on team SharePoint sites.
I need a macro to perform several steps after clicking a "Run Update" macro button in the master file:
Open individual associate fileIn master file, search for each Initiative listed in column B (starting cell B3) in the individual associate file (in column B starting at cell B11)If Initiative is found in individual associate file, copy adjacent data in columns D:J for the respective rowIn master file, paste values to the corresponding Initiative row for the corresponding week's worth of dataIf Initiative is not found in the individual associate file, move to the next Initiative listed in the master fileRepeat these steps for each individual associate file
Linking would be the easiest way to accomplish this if I wanted to have a multitude of weekly individual files for the associates. However, I'd rather each associate have one file for them to update (basically overwriting their previous week's entries).
I need to ensure the paste values corresponds to the appropriate day of the week. In simpler terms, if the date in the individual associate file in cell D9 reads Oct 1, 2012, the data captured from that row needs to be pasted to the corresponding row/column in the master file that reads the same date.
I would like to copy and paste two columns from a worksheet to another worksheet simultaneously. I would like to have a macro to do this function.
View 5 Replies View RelatedUsing the developer tab I inserted an Active X combo box. Under properties I referenced a 'linked cell' that I want the data to appear in. This box works great as long as I keep the sheet open. Once I save and close the workbook and re-open, that reference is lost. It shows #REF! in that field. Why does it lose the reference? I have tried to reference a cell on the same sheet as well as a cell in a different sheet and it keeps the sheet name but not the individual cell.

I have a worksheet called "Lookup" with several dynamic named ranges (each is 1 column wide) including facility, department, shift, etc. On a summary worksheet in the same workbook I want users to use a dropdown or combo box (don't care what type) in cell B2 to select a facility and then based on their selection, copy the department named range data and paste it into the summary sheet beginning in cell A5 and paste the shift named range data into the summary sheet beginning in cell B5.
Example: user selects "AR Plant" from the dropdown or combo box and the data from the "AR_Rpt" named range is pasted into cell A5 and the "AR_Shift" named range is pasted into cell B5.
I currently have created a database (sheet two) with information including ID # (VH-XXXXX) in Column A and all the necessary information related to that unique Item. What I would like to do is search based on the ID number, have it filter, then copy and paste the row into another worksheet. Is this possible? I am relatively new to VBA and have written codes for copy and pasting rows, but never with an autofulter.

I want to paste all data in newly created sheets from "Template".
I do not want to loop 2 sheets ("DATA" & "Template").
Data must be pasted with format & validation. Validation exists on Template sheet only. No other sheet is referred for validation.
I am looking for VBA code that will select a data validation cell, copy the selection, and paste the value of that cell in a different worksheet.
The data validation list is in cell L47. The user will select a date from cell D31, type a description of activities in the adjacent column and then select initials from the aforementioned validation list in cell L47. I need the code to fit into a button I created so that when they click it to approve the activity, the code will copy the value of the initials and paste it into column AB in a separate worksheet. Column AB runs parallel to column A, which contains all of the dates located on Sheet1 in cell D31. I think I might need some sort of loop to run this so that it pastes initials on the correct date.
