Refreshing Linked Combobox
May 17, 2006
I have been working on creating a form in Excel. I have already figured out how to have combo boxes that are dependent on one another. Now I have a question on that. Let's say that my user makes a selection from the first combo box. Clinical Services for example. The second combo box should now show only the values that pertain to Clinical Services (which it does, that part is working fine). So let's say they choose Retail under Clinical Services. However, now let's say that the user changes their mind and they go back and change their selection in the first combo box to Mail instead of clinical programs. The second combo box stays on the selection that they had previously picked (Retail) even though that value does not pertain to their new selection (Mail). How do I refresh this to delete their old selection in the second combo box (Retail)? If they change their mind of the first combo box and select something else the second combo box does display the correct drop down information, it just doesn't clear out the old selection.

I have to fill out two cells (lets say A10 and A11), with the same data taken from a list of given data. The given data is placed in one column.
I have created Combo Box where the ListFillRange is the given data area and in the LinkedCell I tried to write two cells but Excel doesn’t accept list of two cells.
For example, I tried to write in the LinkedCell A10,A11 and A10:A11 and A10;A11 but none of this syntax worked.
I can’t write A10 only in the LinkedCell and then to write a function A11=A10 in cell A11, because in some cases the content of cell A11 will be changed by another Combo Box linked to cell A11 and that Combo Box will override any function that will be written in A11.

I have a worksheet, and I want to place a combobox in a cell, but being able to add values not on the corresponding list. Done almost everything, but cannot find a way to use the position of the cell, so I can dinamicly place a combobox. Ex.- place a combo in a cell, then after you get the value, delete the combo and put it in the cell bellow, etc. In order to do this I need the position of the cell: left, right, height, width.

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.

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 been working with one sheet (call it tab A) that has 40-50 vlookup formulas that reference another sheet (call it prices) within the same workbook. Everything worked fine. I change my prices tab and everything auto changes in tab A.
Now I copied 'tab A' 22 times creating tabs B - W. I need to slightly modify each tab and based on my prices data, print out the appropriate tab.
Problem is now, when I change my pricing tab, tab A - W do not update. F9 does nothing. Rebooted didn't work. If I go into the formula and hit F2 to edit & return it recalculates to the correct data. But I can't get it to auto update.

I have a worksheet on which i use vba Usedrange to determine all the cells that are being used, but it only picks up all the range after the worksheet has been saved. It seems that the "usedrange" property only holds the actual usedrange at the last time the workbook was saved.
Is this correct?
If so, is there another way to "refresh" the usedrange property without saving the workbook.
If not, is there another way I can determine what the usedrange actually is at any point in time?

I have this workbook to keep track of current and new work for the team - each individual inputs information on their own tab.
In turn, the current information is displayed on a summary page so we can all see who's doing what.
I want to protect that summary page and its formulas from accidental amendment.
However, while the summary page (when unprotected) updates as soon as someone enters new information on their own tab, the summary page won't update when I have it protected.
Is there any way of doing this - preferably without VBA as it's a work situation and the employer doesn't like VBA code running?

I've built a spreadsheet with quasi-animation for a physics class on projectile motion. In it there's a animated chart showing velocity change as a function of distance. The chart has on it an ActiveX textbox that refers to a cell that contains a formula showing "V_y = {velocity}". I've tried a number of things to get the display of the textbox to change during the animation. If I break the code at the line that updates the cell referenced by the textbox the display changes. But I can't figure out how to get the display to update while the code is running.

One of my SUMPRODUCT formulae doesn't seem to be refreshing when i re-open the excel file.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Data!$B$7:$B$2000="FG"),--(TEXT(Data!$F$7:$F$2000,"mmmm")=A26),Data!$M$7:$M$2000)
If i open the excel all the cells with this similar formula show as 0. If i press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+F9 then they calculate.
I have another SUMPRODUCT formula on another worksheet in the same book that seems to be fine.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Data!$B$7:$B$2000="FG"),--(Data!$E$7:$E$2000=B7),Data!$M$7:$M$2000)
I can only assume that the reason why it's not calculating automatically is to do with the TEXT "mmmm" reference, is that correct?
Is there anyway i can have it autocalculate so that if i send this as a report i don't have to ask the ppl looking at it to please press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+F9 when they open it :P

I'm looking for a way to refresh my pivotchart and update my pivot table data every time that a certain macro runs. I could just delete it and make a new one everytime but that runs in to the problem of defining a new sheet every time. Is there a simple way to do this. say I my pivot chart is on "Sheet 7" and it there is only one pivot chart in the workbook and my source sheet is on "Combined Data". and at the moment the data range is "A1:N435" and say next time I run my macro the data range will add 20 rows of data and the next 25.

I have a oval which changes color using the color given in a certain tile, temporary called "Hi" . However the oval doesn't change color automatically with the tile changing, it waits till the user clicks the checkmark for the tile, I'd like it to do it automatic, but it doesn't. Is is possible to animate this script a bit more so it refreshes upon a change in the "Hi" title.... ?

How do I handle URL connections - such as logging into a web application?
Example 1
When I use .Refresh BackgroundQuery:= False and there is a problem connecting, Excel hangs ... cannot Ctrl-Break ... only option is to kill Excel (and lose changes).
global QT As QueryTable
Set QT = ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="URL;" & vLoginURL,
[Code]....
Now, if it's still refreshing, it's ok. But if not, it gets stuck on .Refreshing with run time error 424.
Ideally I want to use .Refresh BackgroundQuery:= False as I am calling a number of urls. I just need to provide an "out" when the url fails and hangs on .Refresh BackgroundQuery:= False

I have a pivot table that I refresh using .refresh in the VBA code.
My problem is that when I loop through all the PivotItems in a filter list in order to make all visible, there are PivotItem names that aren't in the drop down menu and so the code breaks.
Do I need to refresh the pivot table slightly differently than just using .refresh?

I have got this in a pivot table
Customer Total sales(USD)
30010 500.00
30041 2000.00
In another column I enter a comment for customer 30010(and leave the comment column for customer 30041 blank) as below
Data 1.xls
Customer Total sales(USD) Comment
30010 500.00 Test 1
30041 2000.00
Later on the content of the file changes as below:
Customer Total sales(USD)
30025 1500.00
30010 500.00
30041 2000.00
When the file is refreshed I would like to have comment as per the former file i.e the comment “Test 1” should appear against customer 30010 and similarly for any other customer that I enter the comment.It should be as below:
Customer Total sales(USD) Comment
30025 1500.00
30010 500.00 Test 1
Customer Total sales(USD) Comment
30041 2000.00

I've referenced a few threads this one in particular [Solved] Pivot Tables : Refresh on protected sheet
I've tried the example given in the link and it still does not work. I want to protect the sheets that contain pivot tables, but still be able to refresh them. When I try I get an error. I've tried this a few ways.
My first attempt was to protect the sheets using allowuserinterfaceonly at a workbook open event. This caused warnings as soon as the workbook was opened. Then I tried Dave's suggestion and I get a runtime error 1004: Cannot edit PivotTable on protected sheet.

I've got a workbook with a several pivot tables. For convenience, I've deleted the pivot table source and left the pivots "self-standing". Problem is now when I try to refresh the workbook, I get a "Reference is not valid" error which prevents the workbook from updating.

How can I refresh a pivot table automatically by changing a cell content (say B2 which contains text, not value) apart from using the refresh button?
Cell B2 is not part of the pivot table.

Its been ages since I used a pivot table and I cant remember much.
I did one last week - lets pretend on the range A1, B100.
Ive since added some extra info into the range and it now goes from A1, B110.
I go to my pivot table and hit "!" and it updates. How can I be certain its included everything from my range? Is there a way I can check the pivot table to see where the range is from?

I would like to refresh all external links to other xl files (on a network drive) and break all links
I have a code like this:
Code:
For Each l In ActiveWorkbook.LinkSources
Workbooks.Open Filename:=l, updatelinks:=1, ReadOnly:=True
ActiveWorkbook.Close False
Next l
For Each l In ActiveWorkbook.LinkSources
ActiveWorkbook.BreakLink l, xlLinkTypeExcelLinks
Next l
It seems to be working, but if i go step by step (f8) it updates values but sometimes after closing the source workbook and updating next one, the previously updated values disappear...
I cannot open all files because there are many of them and they are like 40mb each.
There are no defined names in the file, except print_area

I have a worksheet with an auto filter to display only non-blank rows. Each row is a ledger account, with a cost. The formula in each cell sums the total of its corresponding gl in another worksheet, but also takes into account the region I am asking it to search based upon another cell. So the cost in a specific can fluctuate based upon which region I am telling the rows to lookup. So it can be blank with one region and populated with another. When I change the cell that tells the row data to look up a new region, the auto-filter does not automatically update the list of non-blank cells based upon the new region being searched, but rather the old one. So what is happening is I am left with an incorrectly auto-filtered result.
Is there a way to get the auto filter list to automatically update for the refreshed list of rows?

I'm launching a main form from a menu I've added. I want to make the form modal. From that form, the user can launch several other forms (that I also want to be modal). If any of the forms are modal, then the Excel sheet that is visible in the background does not refresh. If the form is moved at all it creates a dragging pattern on the screen and hides the spreadsheet. That's not so bad, except when I get to either a second or third level form and start closing them. They're still visible even though the previous level form is now on top. Most of the forms get bigger the deeper you go into the data entry process. So, as you close them and move back up the chain, it gets very confusing. If I simply make the forms modeless, it refreshes fine. I've tried using Application. ScreenUpdating = True and Me.Repaint with no success. I couldn't figure out where to put the Me.Repaint since there isn't a UserForm_Move event.
