Linking Data In A Vba Combo Box
Apr 18, 2007
I have created a form that pops up when I open a new template. In that form I have inserted a combo box that I want to be able to select data from a separate spreadsheet that is on our server. What code do I need to write to link this data to my combo box. Below is what I have written.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
'Add list entries to combobox. The value of each
'entry matches the corresponding ListIndex value
'in the combo box.
cbSiteAddress.AddItem ("P:AccountsBilling Schedule.xls'MASTER SCHEDULE'!A5:A103")
'Use drop-down list
cbSiteAddress.Style = fmStyleDropDownList
'Combo box values are ListIndex values
cbSiteAddress.BoundColumn = 0
'Set combo box to first entry
cbSiteAddress.ListIndex = 0
End Sub

I have a simple reporting sheet where the data for orders place is in one sheet and on the other sheet is an imput box for 'date' and it filters through and presents a table of data and two graphs for the date chosen.
I give a daily report (contents of this sheet) but I also need to leave this sheet available for anyone to open and change to another date.
I want to copy the repor sheet into a new one and email but I want the graphs to remain, not go blank when anyone changes the original sheet.
Excel 2007 / Windows 7.

You have two Workbooks open. Workbook 1 and Workbook 2.
You COPY all the data from Workbook 1 and PASTE the data as a 'Link' into Workbook 2.
You then save and close both Workbooks.
You then open Workbook 1 and edit the data. You save and close Workbook 1.
QUESTION
Will the linked data in Workbook 2 update automatically (i.e., without opening the file)?

I am trying to develop the best way to link two tables in two separate sheets in the same workbook in Excel. One table in the main sheet has a large amount of data in it, and the table in the second sheet collects selective date from the table in the main sheet. This makes it easier for the user to view the more important data from the main table. I developed IF functions which display the data from the main table into the new simplified table. The simplified table takes the data of each row from the main table in row order (row 1, row 2, row 3, etc.). Now the issue I am running against is that when I insert a new row within the main table, the second table does not see the newly inserted row.
Here is an example:
Say that both tables are sychronized upto row 40, and I decide to insert a new row with new data after row 25 in the main table. The simplified table will not see the new row because it is already past row 25, and the next row it will recognize from the main table will be row 41. Is there a way to have a VBA macro link the amount of rows in the two tables and have it so the simplified table will even display the data for the new rows in the main table?

A B C
1Timber$200A-rating
2Metal$500C-rating
3plastic$100B-rating
A1:A3 was input into combo box list. If I select an option in combo box, how can I make B11 and B12 to update data accordingly? (ie, if Metal was selected, B11 should show $500 and B12 should show C-rating)

So I have 2 spreadsheets of Car Inventory Data that I want to export into what will be printed out as Addendum Stickers...basically we're offering a new product with all vehicles and need to update the Sticker Price to reflect the change. The main worksheet with all of the data I'm trying to export is as follows:
Column A:
Stock Number
Example: (Column, Row A3) T12345
Column B:
Model Number
Example: (Column, Row B3) 1234A
Column C:
VIN Number
Example: (Column, Row C3) ABCDEFG12A3456789
Column D:
Retail Price
Example: (Column, Row D3) $20,100
Column E:
New Product Cost
Example: (Column, Row E3) $399
Column F:
Model Name
Example: (Column, Row G3) Camry
----
Now the price of the new product being added in is the same: $399. All data runs in rows (A3-E3, A4-E4, etc.). I AutoSum'ed each row and output the new calculated price into Column F next to each row of vehicles.
----
I want to take the Stock Number, Model Number, VIN Number, Retail Price, New Product Price and New Updated Total or Columns A-F and output them into multiple sheets:
Example:
Company Name (B1-C1)

I have yet another general design or best practice question regarding linking data between sheets in a workbook.
So the example scenario is we have 12 individual customer pages shown amounts invoiced and credited for the financial year.
I want to create an overall summary page.
Is it best to:
1. Use straight link eg. =Data!A1
2. Use Vlookup
3. Use Indirect with Address function
4. Use Database functions
I believe providing you have enough available memory that there isn't an issue with any of the above methods.

If you look at the attached picture, it is from a workbook.
The frame contains data depending on what tabstrip is chosen.
It is controlled with hiding rows in vba, how on earth do you get a frame like that which contains links to another worksheet?

I'm trying to link specific data from one workbook to another. So from the demo I've attahced, I need all of the 3rd row "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" to be linked to another workbook.
So normaly I could copy the row, go to the other workbook, "paste special" and link it to a column.
The only problem is the "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" data will not always be on the 3rd row.
So i assume I would need to automatically search for "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" and if it is found, copy the column over to the other workbook.

I have two cells on Sheet 1 - Cell A1 and Cell A2.
Cell A1 is the first cell that will receive either a number, or nothing. When it receives a number, the number will always contain five digits. (For example: '23456'.)
The contents of Cell A2 depend on the contents of Cell A1 - If Cell A1 contains a five digit number, then Cell A2 will display that same five-digit number with '-1' following it. (In our case: '23456-1'.) If Cell A1 contains no number, then Cell A2 will just be another ordinary cell allowing the user to enter whatever he/she desires.
The extension in Cell A2 should remain editable at all times - if the user wishes to change the '-1' to a '-2', for example, he/she should be able to do so without any error messages appearing. However, the user must not be able to change any of the first five digits in Cell A2 as long as Cell A1 contains data. A message should appear stating that changes to the first five digits should be performed in Cell A1 - which would then change Cell A2 accordingly.
Also, if the contents of Cell A1 are erased for any reason, Cell A2 should keep the five digit number, but lose whatever '-x' extension it contained.
Can this be done using Data Validation?

I have had much assistance with this complex (I think it's complex) macro in the past, however, there are still a few bugs that need to be worked out in order for it to be completely efficient. Any help would be really appreciated, and I'll do my best to explain what's going on at this point:
I have a worksheet called the 'Data Entry Page'. You will find it attached. Here are the requirements:
The PO Number cell will only allow ten digits with a dash, and will receive values such as 1200012345-1.
The Part Number cell will receive a value which will usually be six digits long with a dash, and will receive a value such as 654321-1.
The Identification Type cell will receive at least one of the following values, or two or more of the following values separated by '&' (Note the spaces between the digits):
I
I I
I I I
IV
IA
I IA
I I IA
IVA
or (some combination examples):
IA & I I I
I I & I I IA
I VA & I IA

I am creating a Payroll Database. It is nearly complete except for the federal and state withholding tax data. I want my db to look up the data which I have saved in an excel workbook. I need the lookup to be for marital status and # of exemptions. There are a total of two variables for each table. 1. How much the gross pay is (ex. between $175-185) and # of exemptions (ex. 3 exemptions).

I am importing data from an outside excel file to several other files. I requested that the data be refreshed every time I open the file that references the outside excel file. Whenever I have a file open that references the outside excel file, I can only open the outside excel file in a read-only state. Why is this, and is there any way around this issue?

I'm trying to create a workbook for tracking costs and change orders for multiple subcontractors. My main question is about combo boxes. I would like to create a master list of subcontractors on The masterlists tab of the attached workbook. I would like to use this masterlist as the data source for a combo box I'm going to use to replace the subcontractor txtbox on the SubCoEntryFrm. I figured getting away from a user typing something in would benefit me if I wanted to use that subcontractor name field to analyze data.

I'm attempting to make a simple userform that inputs data onto an existing worksheet. I have the userform but would like to use a combo box to choose a "category" item of data, however I dont know what the categories are! I would like the combo box to, somehow, look at the spreadsheet and read off the already entered categories and offer those as choices.
A picture is worth a thousand words:

Is there a simple way to fill the combo box (using the form initialize I assume) with the existing categories?

I have a combo box where I select "Income" or "Expense". In relation to that, In the next column called "Category", I use the offset formula in "Validation". Depending on whether I choose Income or Expense, I will get different dropdown options for "Category". What I want to do is if I choose Expense, in the column named "Amount" beside category, I want to have it so that it places the numbers in brackets or simply a negative sign. Just as reference, I use the SUM function to total up the numbers at the bottom of the sheet.
I have attached a sample copy "Data Validation Test"

I'm trying to amend a chart via combo box. Cell C15 returns a dynamic named range, based on a vlookup.
My problem is in having the code pick up the value that C15 returns, rather than the formula in it.
Set rng = Sheets("Chart lookup").Range("C15")
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=rng, _
PlotBy:=xlColumns

I have a question regarding linking the content for data validation lists stored in a different workbook.
The scenario is as follows: I will have say 50 users using a template which contains various dependent drop-down lists. These lists work by using the INDIRECT function which calls the correct drop-down based on the previous selection. The drop-down entries are currently stored in named ranges on a hidden worksheet in each user's file.
However, if I need to make a change to the content of these lists, I will have to open all 50 files individually and change each one. So I'd like to have a master file to which all the templates would be linked which would contain the entries for each drop-down. So when I update a list in the Master file, it would automatically update the drop-down lists in each user's template with any additions deletions.
My question is, how do I create the links between the user templates and the master and have it so that the list ranges will be dynamic. So if a drop-down list contains say 10 entries and I add 2 more in the master, that those 12 now appear in each user's template?

I have an array of data that I want to be able to filter based on the selection in a dropdown box. For instance, If I select district manager, I want to show the data of only the people who are successors for district manager. For my own reasons I want to use this method rather than just applying the standard filters to the column headings.
I have attached a sample workbook : DummyData.xlsx

In the code below I am defining ranges in a sheet and then using an offset and a scrollbar linked to the offsets. Then I make a graph using the data so that I can use the scroll bars to move the linegraphy left or right to compare the data sets.
My problem comes when linking the values to the graph. I know I can do this by referring directly to the xls file, but as I have loads of different files I want to apply this to I would rather use an active workbook reference...however this does not seem to work. The current code referring to the sheets works but then I have to go into the graphs and change the source data to get them to operate off the scroll bars.

When the user selects this box and does not type in anything then decides to change something else on the form an "Invalid Property value" pops up. Is there a way to get around this. I have tried to add "" to the combobox list but it is still not working properly.
