I am programming some kind of database in excel and using comboboxes as drop down lists to enter some of the information in the DB. My problem is that when the file is saved, closed and then opened again, all of the comboboxes have lost their selection. I think that using the ControlSource might help but for some reason I can't find the proper syntaxe to make it works. Actually I am getting a Run time error 438: This object doesn't support this property or method.
I have included the relevant portion of my code below. Is the ControlSource property going to solve my problem? If so, what is the syntax I must use? If not, what can I do to make sure that my ComboBoxes are going to keep their selection?
ActiveSheet. OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms. ComboBox.1", Link:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=hori_offset - 220, Top:=vert_offset + 78, _
Width:=180, Height:=24.75).Select
With ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("ComboBox1").Object
.Font.Size = 14
.Font.Bold = True
.Style = fmStyleDropDownList 'Use drop-down list
.BoundColumn = 0 'Combo box values are ListIndex values
End With
With ActiveSheet.Shapes("ComboBox1")
.OLEFormat.Object.ControlSource = "Q1"
.OLEFormat.Object.ListFillRange = "M1:M8"
End With
I created a UserForm then linked ComboBox1 to range A2:A, TextBox2 to range E2:E, and ComboBox3 to range M2:M of the same worksheet, named Sheet3. The row contents in Column A, Column E, and Column M are associated. Therefore, when the UserForm is active I want to be able to select a row from Column A in ComboBox1 and have the UserForm pull the contents from the same row of Column E into TextBox2, and Column M into ComboBox3. Here is what I have so far, but its not quite doing it.
Code: Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Sheets("Sheet3").Activate Dim ColARange As Range
I have a table, headers "FirstName" and "SurName".
Further a Userform with 2 Comboboxes "FirstName" and "SurName"
I'd like to choose the FirstName (say Jack) in the "FirstName" combobox, and based on that get the choice of the Surnames of all my Jacks in the "SurName" combobox.
Actually my sheet has much more fields and comboboxes, but i think my problem is just that I do not find a way to populate them dynamically.
I have a list of departments on "Employee Data" sheet on column A and list of staff names on column B. It looks like this:
DEPT FULL NAME
pdi Bob Tan pdi John Christian aftersales_bikes Jim Yeo
I have 24 departments in total and 300 over employees in mt employee data sheet.
On "Jan - June 2014 Training Hours" sheet, when employees attend training courses, I will have to update what courses they went for, no of hours etc.
My problem is:
I would like to select the department (using combo box for the auto complete function) and when department is selected, the staffs in that particular department will show. I have attached the file for your understanding. Currently, I am using data validation with indirect function in that file but would like to switch to combo box.
I have a userform used to input data. I contains textboxes and comboboxes and a command button that is clicked on to record the data onto a worksheet.
What I am looking for is a combobox that is linked to a list of clients (column A of worksheet "Clients").
I would like the user to click on the combobox and select a client name. If the client is new then I would like the user to be able to type in the new name and, then have that name available in the "Clients" names that appear the next time the user clients on the combobox.
I have it almost working, but not quite.
I have a defined name on the "Clients" worksheet as follows:
On another worksheet, I have multiple comboboxes from the Controls toolbar in a column, each having possible selections are based on the data in a column 1 above (ie. A,B,C). When a selection is made in any of these comboboxes, cells to the right of the combobox get populated with the corresponding remaining data from the above cell range - ie. when A is selected, 1,2,3 appears to the right of the combobox, when B is selected, 4,5,6, etc. I want to be able to make selections from within combo boxes, not only by using the combo box dropdown and select mechanism, but also, if possible, by pasting a cell range whose data matches one of the existing selections available in the combobox definition. In other words, if I have a single column cell range from somewhere with the following data in 1 row:...............
There are two Combo boxes in the form. ComboBox1 is being populated from a named range - "ParticipantName". (Located in Sheet1!C2:C500) ComboBox2 has been populated with "No" and "Yes" with additem in Form1 Initialize.
There are 3 (Three) Command Buttons - "Save", "Cancel" and "Close".
"Cancel" shall clear data in both Combo Boxes. It is done. "Close" shall unload the Form. It is also done.
My problem is with the "Save" button. The user will select a name in the ComboBox1 and Select "Yes" or "No" in ComboBox2. Then if the user press "Save"; only the selected data of ComboBox2 will be written in the 26th Column (Column "Z") of Sheet1 in respective Row of the name selected in the ComboBox1.
I need to link the textboxes of a form to the appropriate cells associated to the selection made by a combobox. And in the process I need to be able to Edit one of those Textboxes on the fly while the rest will be locked to the user.
Not sure if the editing of the Notes section can be real time of if it must be updated through a button.
In this file, I have a Work Summary worksheet in which I'm extracting some data from the other worksheets to "summarize" all jobs into one nice work summary log On Basis of Average of data from 3 other different sheets A,B,C
The following form works great to if onyl formula calling is applied
I'm using two comboboxes to simplify data query of a database: the first narrows the query by displaying employee names, the second narrowing the selection further by displaying the equipment that employee owns. I am able to populate both comboboxes fine.
The first combo box for employee names:
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Dim ws As Worksheet Set ws = Worksheets("User&EquipOverview")
[Code]....
Where I am running into trouble is that I want the selection made with the equipment name combobox (ComboDevice) to populate several textboxes with values related to that specific selection in the database. That is, the combobox population needs to have the cell location included as information to pull the correct information.
Each employee has several pieces of similarly named equipment, so it's not so easy as to search the initial list for the value of the combobox selection.
I have got 8 sheets in a workbook having the following names first one is Main,and others are Aw,Nzm,Mhk,Gul,Qta,and Hdr.
I want a ComboBox in every sheet displaying names of all sheets in combobox and when i select a name of sheet from combobox it goes to that sheet after hidding sheet where selection was made and running macro codes which i have developed for sheet. I want only one sheet display on the screen when one selection is made other one is invisible.
I have a problem involving two combo boxes in a user form.
I need to populate different “lists” to combo 2, based on a selection in combo 1.
I browsed through the forum but could not find any solution that made sense to me.
Here are the specifics: Combo 1 (called Cbo_Act) is populated with a list based on a named range in one of the sheets. The range is named “activity” and holds 2 records (“Income” & “Expense”).
This list is loaded as part of the form initialization.
If the user select “Income”, I need combo 2 (called Cbo_Act_Type) to show a list of various income types (derived from a dynamic named range called “Income_type”) and if the user selects “Expense”, I need the same combo box (Cbo_Act_Type) to show a different list, specifically – a list of various expense types (derived from a dynamic named range called “Expense_type”).
I know that this should be with a Cbo_Act_Change () routine, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out how to do it.
can i use a combo box with a dropbuttonclick to run the macro only when the arrow is selected . The problem I am having is the macro will run on the selection of the arrow which is whatt I want but it also run when I make a selection it the combo box
I have a computer build worksheet I use to configure the cost of my notebooks.
There are 2 worksheets, on one I have all my data seperated in 2 colums. One column is the name say Intel Core-Duo 2500 2.0 Ghz, and next to it the price, say $300.
The other worksheet is the actual form for "building" my systems. Right now I am using combo boxes that feed their output to another cell, then a 3rd cell with complex nested IF statements to retrieve the data from the 1st worksheet.
This way I have the form look like 1. Combobox selection: Intel Core-Duo 2500 2.0 Ghz 2. It feeds a second cell its value 1 (if this is the first value in the list) 3. 3rd Cell reads second cell value with a complex nested IF statement: 1 and goes back to the data sheet and reads the price from the second column: $300
This is a total pain in the butt when I want to add products or change their order in the data sheet. Can someone point me to a direction that this could be made easier, a good book on the subject and what I should be looking for and whatever syntax I need.
Here is the file: [url] You need to have iterations set for the sheet to work properly because there are circular references to calculate percentages of the total for shipping insurance paypal fees and ebay fees etc.
I have created a userform to keep track of "Customer Call Cycle". This is what I have:
1) I have 3 Sales Reps with 50 Customers each. 2) Each customer has multiple contact persons
I have a userform with 2 combo boxex, 1 list box, 1 textbox and 2 buttons.
I want to be able to select Sales Rep from the 1st combobox which will automatically populate the second combobox with customer names related to that sales rep.
and when I select a customer name from 2nd combobox, I want all the contact persons in the database that are related to that customer name to populate in the listbox.
I want to dynamically list items in combobox placed in excel sheet. I have a list of 10 values in a column in excel sheet. I have placed two comboboxes in the same sheet. Now depending on the first combobox selected value i want to list either all or only few values from the available 10 values.
My data resides in a workbook in sheet2 and sheet3. I have 4 comboboxs refering to different columns in sheet2 and sheet3. Basically when the user selects all the four comboboxs, the criteria should be satisfied and the results in terms of rows matching those values should be shown in the textboxs below.
Each three of the textboxs refers to individual columns in sheet2 and sheet3. All I want to do is simple search criteria on both sheet 2 and sheet3 and put the results in textboxs.
I have populated my comboboxs but dont know the macro to do the search results .
my userform,which has 4 comboboxs
combobox1 = sheet2 column C combobox2 = sheet2 column BL combobox3 = sheet3 column K combobox1 = sheet3 column F
The results which satisfy the above 4 criteria should come from ,when user presses POP UP DETAILS BUTTON,
textbox1= sheet3 column C textbox2= sheet3 column N textbox3= sheet2 column T
Actually I have many records which satisfy the above 4 criteria, dont know how to display them whether in textbox or any another method.
I require is on combobox selection to bring in the data "type" from collumn ag and put it in collumn "c",i then want to get rest of data from the row but get me started I will try and do the other data,do not know how to do formulas ,started first with userforms and would now like to learn formulas
I need to populate a textbox based off 2 combobox selections. My first combobox selects the worksheet. "08BOG, 09BOG, 10BOG...15BOG" My second combobox lists majors based off of the worksheet selected in combobox 1. I need my textbox to populate the value 18 rows over the selected worksheet and the selected row.
Currently I have something like this:
[Code] ......
But obviously this is all wrong because it is only referencing one sheet instead of the selected sheet in the combobox.
At the moment when you click the macro botton on the sheets a calender shows and you can select the inspection done tab, this gives you a list to select witch then updates the selected task in the sheet.
How can i get this to allow single or multiple sections so that if more than one task is completed on the same date they could be updated all at once.
I have 3 name range in a control sheet ("Control")
Namerange Cat1, Cat2, Cat3. All of the name range are different. I am trying to cut down on my Userform that have each a userform with combobox selection.
Frmcat1, frmcat2 frmcat3.
I need to simplify my life. I need that if the user selects anything between F5:F20 to generate the userform and select range Cat1. If the user Select G5:G20 then to generate Cat2 and so on...
So on userform Initialize look if the user is in Column F, is yes then Cat1. If user in Col. G then Cat2 and final if user is in Col H to have Cat3 generate in the combobox.
What I'd like to do is fill specific cells with specific information drawn from other pages based on a combo box selection.
For example, if I were to pick 10131 in the combo box, I'd like it to fill out cells X, Y and Z with information from the three cells to the right of 10131. Assume X, Y and Z are not touching.
I have a userform where I want the user to be able to select multiple options, but am having a bit of a problem finding the best way to do this. If I use a combobox, I don't appear to be able to allow multiple selections, but if I use a listbox I don't appear to be able to implement a dropdown facility. I would prefer to have a single line sized box on my form, but doing this with a listbox would probably be confusing for the user as it is not very easy to see what has been selected.
On a sheet named "Matrix" I have rows of data in columns A, B, and C. I have the following code in a ComboBox that will show names from column B of the Matrix sheet.
I have a userform with a combobox for material description. When a user selects a value from this list I would like a popup box to appear that contains four buttons that correlate to material type. When a particular button is selected from this input box, that value is then appended (concatenated) to the original selection made from the combobox. I have set it up where the user can "enter" a choice but I would rather it be a "pick and click" entry.
Also, is there a way to rename the vbYesNO buttons in a message box?
I have a series of cascading comboboxes on a sheet named report. In the first combo box,cboCategory, the user will have the option of selecting New, Existing, 401k, CPA Information. If the user selects CPA Information I need a user form named CPA to open.
