Tabbing From Cell To ComboBox

Oct 19, 2007

I am trying to create a excel based form (not User Form) which meets some our business accessibility standards (i.e. a user who cannot use a mouse, must be able to complete it using the keyboard).

I have got around the checkbox issue by creating faux checkboxes and asking the users to enter an X if appropriate. However, part of the information that they need to complete is in the form of a drop-down list (the information is being collected by a hidden datasheet for importing into Access and we need to control the format of the information being provided). I originally implemented this by using data validation on a cell and linking to a named range on a hidden sheet (there are over 100 options to select from). This made it easy for the user to tab to the cell with the data validation in it but, because of the length of the options list, it was a bit unwieldy and users were a bit frustrated by not being able to enter the first couple of letters and for the entry to auto-complete (maybe this is possible in a data validation created list but I couldn't seem to implement it). I have now created a combobox in place of the cell (from the Control Toolbox) and linked this to the name range - so far so good and I have autocomplete working. The trouble now is that I can't get the combobox to get focus without using the mouse to click it.

After writing "War and Peace", what I wanted to know is if I can do this by VBA? The trouble is that I am a good magpie and can kind of cut and paste code if I can find it but I am shocking when it comes to writing anything from scratch. My instinct tells me that I want to trigger some kind of code when the user tabs out of the cell before the combobox to activate and dropdown the combobox and then to be able to either tab or hit enter in order to give focus to the next cell in the form.

The sheet and workbook are protected with only the cells requiring completion being unlocked.

Cell To Cell Tabbing Inconsistent

Feb 23, 2008

My cell to cell tab function is not working properly in Excel (but works in other programs like Word). Instead of moving one cell to the right, such as A1 to B1, when I hit the TAB key it moves from A1 to T1, then to AM1. This is the case in EVERY excel document I open/create on my work computer (but all other computers at work do not have this problem). The documents are NOT protected and the cells are NOT locked.

Tabbing Through Text Boxes

I may be doing this wrong, but I have a form that i created using Active X controls in Excel 2007 (I couldn't use the form control text box, it was greyed out). I have textbox1, textbox2 etc... I got the form to work but I can't tab through. When the user is done entering data in textbox1, I want to set the focus to textbox2. i would like this to happen with enter and tab.

Form - Tabbing Fields Out Of Order

Jul 8, 2009

I created a user form to get information to be added to a spreadsheet, and then later needed to add a few more fields. Now when you tab through the fields, they are out of order. For isntance it will tab down through the first three fields, then flips to the second column of fields, then back to the first again.

Is there a way to setup the order in which fields are tabbed? (Note: I am refering to the tab key on the keyboard being used to move between fields, not tabbing a form to create multiple pages.). How do I add a horizontal rule to the form? I dont see it in the toolbox...

UserForm Tabbing Through Fields Sometime Tabs 5 Spaces

Jan 20, 2007

I have a Userform containing Textboxes and ComboBoxes.
On all of the textboxes the TabKeyBehavior property is set to False.

Sometimes when you are typing either a textbox or a Combobox when you hit the Tab key to tab to the next field it tabs you over 5 spaces instead of going to the next field.

Anybody run accross this and find a solution to it. I have only run into this with excel userforms and never in Access db forms.

Fill ComboBox With Cell Range And Link ComboBox To Cell?

Oct 15, 2006

I have two questions.

1). I have dates listed in excel (01/01/2006 to 12/31/2006) say from range B12:B376.

How do I get these values to a ComboBox.

2). If the above is possible and if I select a value in ComboBox say 08/07/2006, it should get updated in a particular cell say A1

So selection of 08/07/2006 in ComboBox, should reflect 08/07/2006 in cell A1.

Note: This ComboBox is on the UserForm and not on the Excel Sheet.

Populating Combobox 2 With Items That Match Criteria From Combobox 1

Mar 30, 2009

Am trying to get dynamic population of 2nd combobox based on match from criteria in combobox 1.

if column a = bears and column b = colours of bears then

when I select bears in combobox one, combobox 2 would populate with colors of bear.

I am think of having a combobox 1 change event that evaluates each row in a specific range (does it match the criteria?) if so, then add 2nd cell (column b) of that row to the combobox 2.

I know it would probably involve match and offset, add item and loop, but I am not sure what the syntax is.

Auto Populate 2nd Combobox Based On 1st Combobox Data

Mar 30, 2014

I need to populate two combo boxes from excel sheet, the data will be like below:

Column A Column B
A 1
A 2
A 3
A 4
A 5
B 100
B 101
B 102

So from the above data, one combo box should hold unique values A & B.

On selecting a value from the 1st combo box A or B, respective values should be populated in 2nd combo box.

So the data should be like below:

If A is selected in the 1st combo box, then 2nd combo box should only show the values 1,2,3,4 & 5.
If B is selected in the 1st combo box, then 2nd combo box should only show the values 100,101 & 102.

Friends I need it in a macro and one important point is, this is dynamic and it is not static and the data can be more.

ComboBox Selection That Fills A TextBox And Other ComboBox

Sep 28, 2013

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

Populate Combobox Based On Selection Of Other Combobox

Jun 12, 2006

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.

Put The Value Of A Combobox To A Cell

Jun 19, 2007

I'm trying to create a bit of code to put the value of a combobox to a cel.
There are 200 comboboxes and 200 cells.

It should look a bit like this:

Dim i, j As Integer
i = 2 'First element is on line 2
j = 1 'Elemennumber 1 is first
Do
Cells(i, 4) = cboE & j & _Typ".Value 'This is the part that doesn't work
i = i + 1
j = j + 1
While j < 200
the comboxes have following names: cboE1_Typ to cboE200_Type

I wanted to work with a control array but VBA doesn't support this

ComboBox With Two Linked Cell

Jul 2, 2009

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.

Comparing Combobox And Cell Value?

Aug 20, 2014

I'm populating a userform combobox this way :

For i = 1 To npoints
Me.Combobox1.AddItem i
Next i

Meanwhile I'm populating a cell with a value from a listbox:

Worksheet1.Cells(rowindex, 6).Value = Me.Listbox.List(listindex - 1, i)

I don't understand how to make this return TRUE:

Worksheet1.Cells(rowindex, 6).Value = Me.Combobox1.Value

I tried playing around with format( , ) but without success.

Copying Cell Link For Combobox

Nov 9, 2012

I've been asked to build a pricing spread sheet for large construction projects. Each "Room" can be priced from a 15 different list price for the same items. I have a combo box that selects the correct list price row for the items to be price in a single "Room". I would like to be able to copy & paste a room and change the list price selection. This work fine except for the Cell Link in the combo box, which holds the original cell in the Cell Link reference when it is copied. It does not let me use a formula as the Cell Link reference.

Combobox VBA To Change Data In Cell?

Dec 12, 2012

I am looking for a way to use VBA code to allow a combo box (form control) to change the data in a cell. For example: The combo box could contain Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. If the user selects Monday in the combo box, than cell A1 will populate the word Monday.

Userform Combobox And Cell Reference

Mar 7, 2007

I've have a combobox on a userform which should refer to a cell on a worksheet directly. E.g. The dropdown list that feeds to box is on Sheet2 range C1:C6
Whatever is selected should be copied to Sheet1 cell B18.

Now, if I populate cell B18 manually, it will pick it up, but if I then change the combobox selection, cell B18 either doesn't change or goes blank.?
