Filter Column Using ActiveX Combobox?
Aug 1, 2013
I am trying to use a combo box with a defined list I have in another worksheet.
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...

successfully 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.

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 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"
Next

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.

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 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").

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 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'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 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.

Using 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 2 comboboxes on a userform. In combobox1 I have a list of years which is pre-populated. In combobox2 i have some data. What i'd like to do is to sort combobox2 using the year selected from combobox1.
I have tried this slightly modified code from a different project, but cant get it to work correctly.
The code below autofilters, and selects the correct range, but will not populate the userform combobox... the highlighted row seems to be the problem:
Dim rngToCopy As Range
With Sheets("Project")
.AutoFilterMode = False
.Range("B:B").AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:=ComboBox6.Value
With .AutoFilter.Range
On Error Resume Next
Set rngToCopy = .Offset(1, -1).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1).Resize(, 3)
On Error GoTo 0
If rngToCopy Is Nothing Then MsgBox "No projects currently set up for the selected season!...": Exit Sub
End With
rngToCopy.Copy Destination:=UserForm5.ComboBox2.List
.AutoFilterMode = False
End With
In my data, i'd like to return columns A, B and C.

My goal is to be able to use a combo box on a userform to filter a spreadsheet. I need my users to select the dropdown arrow on the combobox, find the one value they need out of a list of about 50, and have the spreadsheet in the background filter based on that user selection. At this time my form has several checkboxes to filter the spreadsheet which works as expected but again, I think I need to use a combobox for this certain set of data in conjunction with the other checkboxes. Searching on the more obvious terms leads to lots of advice and code on how to filter results within a combobox, but not how to use a combobox to filter a spreadsheet.

I am trying to filter a list for a ComboBox using VB.
I have the following
Defined Name 'MemMapSel'
1stCol 2ndCol 3rdCol 4thCol 5thCol
Alarms a BOOL 2001 4000
Commands i BOOL 4001 5000
Status s INT 7001 8000
Free x DINT 9001 10000
etc
etc
I am using a combobox to select which row i require and am mapping the 4thCol to a cell
At present the property 'ListFillRange' is set to 'MemMapSel' displaying all 5 columns and bounding column 4 as the value
What i really need is to Filter this list, so that the combobox only displays the BOOL entries in the 3rdCol, or the INT, etc
I think i can use the Select function to do this, but i am not sure how to go about it.

I want to filter my results using a combo box on my spreadsheet. I don't mind how this is done, even if it just hides all of the information which isn't relevant. I've done it with a VLookup but I want to be able to edit it easily without the formula popping up. So if you click Barlcays, only barclays appears. I'd also like a button to reset if possible. I've attached an example of how I sort of want it to work.

I have a Userform where I use a ComboBox to populate raw A from a worksheet.
I use this form to update new data that relates to the selected item in the ComboBox.
In that user form, when I select an item from the ComboBox, I idetifay it's raw and display the data from columns B,C...to I in text boxes on the Userform.
I then set the "Enable" property of the text boxes that has data to "False" so that field cannot be updated again.
What I do today is if all the fields where updated, a message box will say "All fields are full" and I clear the form.
Now I want to improve my selection by removing items from the ComboBox if all the "needing update" columns are field.
By this I want to filter out the items that where already updated before and only show the ones needing update.
Here is what I have, I need to change the UserForm_Initialize section so it will only show the rows needing update.
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
'Populate "Cards" Combobox.
Dim rngCards As Range
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Rejects")

Attached small application. Open the application and click on the LISTBOX button. Code for the Filter by Item button or the Filter by Representative button. I would like to select an item from either of those dropdowns in the search box, click on the relevant button and the list box will populate to show the results.
For example, if I were to select Chocolate Bars from the dropdown and click filter by item, I want to see only the three lines [i.e. line 2, 6 and 7] present in the listbox, and I want to be able to doubleclick on any of those lines to go to the record if I wish.
Similarly, if I select Robert from the other dropdown and click Filter by Representative, I want to see the relevant three lines [i.e. 4, 5 and 8] relating to Robert, present in the listbox, where I can again double click to go to the record [i.e. the data entry userform related to particular record selected.

I have linked Combo Box to Pivot Reporting Filter through VBA. When I Select Combo Box Value, same will be filtered in Pivot table. Combo Box values are constant where as Pivot report filter may not contain all the values which are in Combo Box. If Combo Box value is not available in Reporting filter of Pivot it should throw up msgbox and should select first value of Combo box.
