View 5 RepliesI am getting close to finishing the drop down menu capability when filling in column L in tab Transactions. However, there is a snag. When I enter part of account say "fin" (the important part here is that the part of the word should not be the beginning of the account name) - then I select an account from the menu - but it does not stay in the cell if the part of the name is the beginning of the account name - all is fine.

A few more specifics: There are roughly forty comboboxes on a multipage with six tabs. The comboboxes contain a list of choices for how different aspects of the project are financed. I want to check for whether the user has selected a specific entry. If any of the forty comboboxes have made that selection, some code runs that formats the column of the worksheet in a specific way. I have written the code which formats the column, and it works fine, but my attempts to run the check mentioned above, have not worked. The code cannot check based on .listitem, it must check based on a specific string.
A few more clarifications: It doesn't matter whether all forty comboboxes have this selection, or one; if any of them have the selection, the code needs to recognize this. The code would currently run off a command button which performs a series of calculations, tests, and then runs the code to format the worksheet.
I've created and coded a vba userform that creates purchase orders for my projects. The user begins by selecting the project code from the combobox (the project code is a unique identifier of each project). Once the purchase order is created, the information is logged in a separate sheet called "POLog" and the userform is cleared. The project code is saved in the first column of the "POLog".
My problem is that when I have more than one purchase order to create for the same project (sometimes I have 20 or 30), the combobox starts out empty and I have to manually select the project code from the combobox. Is there a way to allow the userform to recall the last project code that was used? Maybe recalling it from the last row in the "POLog" sheet?
Its a phone number directory. the data is retrived based on nickname. when a nickname is selected, its phone number and details will be updated in the textboxes ... example: tony (in A2) is selected from the combobox, his phone number (in B2) and details (in C2) are updated in the textboxes.

Cells B4 - B25 have combo boxes in them, with the options to select "On Loan", "In Stock Room" etc in them. What I would like to do is create something so that as the combo box is changed, i.e. from "In Stock" to "On Loan", a date changes adjacent to each combo box.
For example, combo box in B10 has been changed from "In Stock" to "On Loan". The adjacent cell records the date automatically that the combo box was changed.

Excel Userform
VB:
'enables user to click [U]highlight and select[/U] an item in ListBox1 and ListBox2 item (same row in index) is also [U]highlighted[/U] (highlighted only not selected)
Private Sub ListBox1_Click()
ListBox2.ListIndex = ListBox1.ListIndex
End Sub
Question: Is it also possible to enable a user to click to select an item in ListBox1 and ListBox2 item is also selected simultaneously (same row in index). Is there excel vb code to do this?
I think the code may be along the lines of the ListBox SelectedIndex property. What would be the Excel VB code equivilant for the ListBox SelectedIndex property, if so?
If I have 1,000 entries in a column is there an easy way to determine the number of times a certain item is in the columns. For example if field A1 is "qwerty" I wan to see how many times "qwerty" or field A1 appears in the entire column?
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan anyone help me in finding how to write the command in VBA to determine what Cell was selected in a worksheet? The objective is to know what Cell has been selected by double click event to pop up a userform with a calendar from which the user can select the date. I am looking at making it dynamic so I do not select a particular range.
Can this be achieved? I guess yes, but how?
I have a macro which formats charts. It takes a user selected chart and formats it.
I would like to allow the user to select many charts and process them all at once (instead of just one at a time).
The problem is that when I have X charts selected in Excel, the Selection object assumes the "ChartObjects" type which includes all charts in the worksheet and not only those which are selected!
If I do "Selection.Count" it will count all charts (selected or not) and if I do "Selection.Item(x).Name" I can access any chart on the worksheet and not only those which are selected.
Questions:
1. Is there anyway to determine which charts are selected by the user? Either using the selection object or any other method?
2. When I select multiple objects (chart and non-charts), the selection object assumes the "DrawingObjects" type, which when counted returns the correct number of selected objects. However when I try to access them via "Selection.Item(x)" I again can access all DrawingObjects in the worksheet. Is there anyway to determine which drawing objects are selected? And access them (so I can determine whether they are charts)?
My question is about removing items from a ComboBox. I've created a ComboBox with an array of items as follows:

Is there a way of determining the series that has been selected on a chart?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the following code which will determine if a user has selected a entire column.
If Selection.Rows.Count = 65536 Then
MsgBox "User has selected an entire column."
End If
Although it worked, but is there a better way to do it? I was thinking if future version of Excel goes beyond 65536 rows, then this code is definitely unusable!!
I have a list of 20 cities in K1:20 and they can be selected from a drop down menu in column A2:A22. I want then to randomly pick 6 out of 20 and these 6 cities must to appear in a line A1, B1, C1, D1, F1, and G1
On cell A1 I have used the
IF ( A2=K1,K1, IF(A3=K1,K1...................A22=K1,K1,IF(A2=K2,K2......A22=K3,K3)
It seem to be an endless formula is there another way to make it easy ???
I am struggling with work-schedule worksheet and I want to do this:
In my attached sample worksheet are cells coresponding to a day of the month (monday to sunday, and so on...), and cell for job positions. Each day I must assign 5 employees to a different job position (job positions are on drop down lists).
When I select first job (on specific day), I want a pop-up window where would show what job I have allready selected and what job hasn't been selected so far.
How can I do that, is It possible in VBA coding, maybe with Listbox or CheckedListbox.
I have 1 macro that i would like to be activated as soon as i select any item from a form control listbox (doesn't matter which item). i am not using an active X control but rather a form control.

I have a couple of listboxes and use the mouseup event to do stuff with the row that's clicked.
When a new listbox is clicked I'd like to remove the highlighting or selection from the last one.

Is there another way?
The code below loops thru a specified range I12:I26 for a duplicate combobox value in each cell. When I enter the same combobox value in range I43:I54 it still finds a duplicate.

I'm trying to add items to a Combobox on a Userform dynamically when the form loads - the criteria is if a cell value is greater than zero, the value being calculated by a formula within the cell.
Code:

I have a userform called "Description_Form". I had a listbox on this which worked 100%. I then decided to replace the listbox with a combobox. I replaced the word listbox1 with combobox1 in teh code below and now I am getting an error message:
Run-time error '-2147352573 (800200003)':
Could not fine the specified object.
I have checked the name of the Combobox and it is definitely combobox1.
Sub PopulateListWithHorizontalRange(New_Dest As Variant)
Dim x As Range
Description_Form.ComboBox1.Clear
For Each x In Range("S_DESTINATIONS").Cells
'here is where I get the error message
Description_Form.ComboBox1.AddItem x.Value

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
Range("H:H").Select
Cells.Find(What:=ComboBox2.Value, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _

False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
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................
The ideal is I have a list which the use fills in, for sack of argument Goal 1, Goal 2, etc but I have a problem. This list which the user builds I want to appear in a combobox with is quite easy using the list function and naming the range.
The problem I have is that Goal 1 or 2 can be in this list more than once, if it is at all possible I want or would like the Combobox to only show Goal 1 once and not twice or how many times it occurs. I require the Combobox just to show all Goals once no matter how many time they occur.
I have two comboboxs on a userform, both are populated like this:
(ComboBox1 is a different sheet/column)
' Sets Remarks in ComboBox4 Contents
With Worksheets("Data")
Set rng = . Range(.Cells(1, "C"), .Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp))
End With
With ComboBox4
.RowSource = rng.Address(external:=True)
End With
The function is that ComboBox1 will populate the names on lets say Sheet1, Column A, and when selected will populate by offset all the other Textboxs, and ComboBoxs.
Textbox1 is a date
ComboBox4 is populated off of items from the data sheet
ComboBox1 is populated off of sheet1 and provides names, then fills the userform fields
In populating the Userform, it fills Combobox4.value by the offset value of the selected name.
That cell does not contain the same info that was loaded into the ComboBox initally, and it does not show it. All other ComboBox entries match preloaded values, and show.
How do I get the ComboBox to display what is in the OffSet cell value, rather than blank because its different?
I have a column with comboboxes in each cell, each with LinkedCell set to the cell the combobox sits inside. Once the selection is made, I hide the combobox with .Visible="False". I want to be able to unhide hidden comboboxes by selecting a range of cells in the column, and then finding the corresponding comboboxes within each cell in this range, and unhide them.
