I'm trying to programmatically set the value of a combobox but I'm running into errors if the combobox list does not already contain the value I'm trying to set it to. How can I first test if the combobox has that as a valid option and, if not, add that item?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a simple ActiveX combobox with "Y/N" options. I am trying to allow for the user to simply type either an upper or lowercase "y" or "n" without it having such stringent case sensitivity. I've looked all over for solutions and tried several (Option text compare statement, Target = UCase(Target) placed at various points in my code) and I still am getting the same "The value you entered is not valid" error.
I don't want to use a standard dropdown because the text looks miniscule without zooming (which I rather not have the user need to do). I rather not have a Y/y/N/n list, as it looks amateurish. How to stop the case sensitivity?
I know you can set cells equal to other cells, but can you set the cell equal to a combobox created in VBA.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to determine Long Term Gain (LTG,) Long Term Loss (LTL,) Short Term Gain (STG,) Short term Loss (STL,) or No Loss nor Gain (NGL)testing two cells (A1 and B1)and setting a third cell (C1) to the text LTG, LTL, STG, STL, or NGL depending on the results of testing cells A1 and B1.
A1 represent a number of years and B1 represent gains or losses (negative)in dolars.
The way I see the logic is as follows:
If cell A1 or cell B1 are either one of them equal to 0, then it is neither a Gain nor a Loss (NGL.)
If cell A1 is greater than or equal to 1, then it is Long Term; else, if A1 is greater than 0 and less than 1, then it is Short Term.
On the other hand, if cell B1 is greater than 0, then it is a Gain; if B1 is less than 0 (a negative number,) then, it is a Loss.
I need to find (if it is posible in Excel) one formula to test the two cells for posible outcomes:
If A1 = 0 then C1 = NGL
If B1 = 0 then C1 = NGL
If A1 >= 1 and B1 > 0 the C1 = LTG.
If A1 >= 1 and B1 < 0 the C1 = LTL.
If A1 < 1 and B1 > 0 then C1 = STG
If A1 < 1 and B1 < 0 then C1 = STL
I need a formula that will return a range of values from a list.
Example: I need a formula in cell A2 that looks at the list and will return all numbers that are >99 but 199 but299 but

I want to automatically set default values in a row dependant on the value chosen in a list. Some of the default values need to be lists where the user can chose to update to a non-default value.
I have tried using a double drop down list. However if the default list value is changed then the dependant list value is changed, the default list is not automatically updated.
I have been working on a few different spreadsheets, and I have gotten almost everything to work. There are just two things that I just can't get right. Here is the first problem:
It seems to me that I should be able to change where the list will display where it says: sh.Range("a10").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
I change the range to anything in column A and it works, but If I change the column, the entire script seems to run in one row, and the days of the week don't move.
Code:
Sub Workbook_Open()
Range("a2:d300").FormulaR1C1 = Clear
Dim sh As Worksheet, dyArr As Variant, rng As Range, c As Range
Set sh = Sheets("Summary")
[Code] ....
Now the second issue, I need to know how to set the array to look at every single worksheet without listing every sheet. Here is an example:
Code:
dyArr = Array("apple", "explorer", "firefox", "google", "java", "safari", "templates")
Now, in the future I might need to add a worksheet in between google and Java, and I don't want to have to change the script every time.
i'm writing a refrigeration selection user interface, working from values on an excel spreadsheet. how to get the programme to automatically select a value from a list or range once a user has selected corresponding value from a list within a combobox. for example if a user sets the temperature of their refrigerator to -5 celsius i need the programme to automatically select the corresponding value of enthalpy for the air at that temperature.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a userform where I have 2 comboboxes. The first combobox shows the the first column (only 1 of each) and the second comboBox shows me the secondary list that correlates to the valuse in the first from column B. Now I have a text box that I am trying to get the value from column C depending on what I have in the first 2 comboboxes. What is the easiest way to do it? This is all in VB since it is a UserForm, and using Vlookup seems to be too many lines if I go that route. Is there a way to use Index and Match in VB where it would be more efficient? I attached just a sample of how the data would be layed out in the Excel sheet.
View 4 Replies View RelatedNeed Help in resolving the following issue:
Update a list using a Combo Box works fine when the list is on the same worksheet but when the list is on a different Worksheet it does not work.
Is this achievable? I guess so! but was wondering how to do it.
e.g: if my range defined name called let us say "SP" with a range AD1:AD60 in Sheet1 when I use a combo box the Listfillrange will contain: SP
When inserting a new entry using the combobox it works fine but when the same defined name range points to a different Worksheet example: Sheet2 then the update does not work although the ListFillRange contains the same Range name: SP.
how I can list 3 different values to a list of list of 3 in a combo box, is.
combo box
select high = 35
select middle 30
select low = 25
I have the names in the box I just need it to add a value (which I have listed 1 in each separate cells) to each selection
I have 2 combobox in userform. Both the comboboxes have the same list down value and I have applied as follows
VB:
combobox1.value = "Transport"
combobox1.value = "Paper"
combobox1.value = "Pencil"
Like this I have long list
In the combobox2 same list has been applied
Is there a way in which by one command the list is applicable to both the comboboxes, that would save me on the length of VBA.
I would like to add a combobox and would like to add/delete items to the list box.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to filter a list for a ComboBox using VB.
I have the following
Defined Name 'MemMapSel'
1stCol 2ndCol 3rdCol 4thCol 5thCol
Alarms a BOOL 2001 4000
Commands i BOOL 4001 5000
Status s INT 7001 8000
Free x DINT 9001 10000
etc
etc
I am using a combobox to select which row i require and am mapping the 4thCol to a cell
At present the property 'ListFillRange' is set to 'MemMapSel' displaying all 5 columns and bounding column 4 as the value
What i really need is to Filter this list, so that the combobox only displays the BOOL entries in the 3rdCol, or the INT, etc
I think i can use the Select function to do this, but i am not sure how to go about it.
Trying to get the list from a combobox in an online form. I'm doing this as a check to make sure what I need to be there is there. Then the macro will select what I need and move on. If not found in the list, then it will move on...
So I start thinking about it and I'm not quite sure how to do that in Forms. Does ListIndex get me there?
I'm unable to give the site because you'd have to login with a password, but here's the code I have to Set the combobox:
Set PartNumOffr0EDrop = .Document.all.Item("PartNumOffr0EDrop")
myVal = PartNumOffr0EDrop.ListIndex
I need to know how to loop through the combobox and store the value of each member of the list to a variable or cell.
In VB is there a way to check the values in a combo box, to check whether the value you are trying to insert into it exists in the list, if not add it to the list.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 2 columns of data on Sheet2. The first is Product in column B. The second is Benefit in column C.
I need to look at product column B on Sheet2 and add unique items to my first Combobox after the command Userform1.show.
The person using the form will select a product from Combobox1 and then Combobox2 should add the corresponding Benefits from the benefits column on Sheet2.
As a side note: I expect products and benefits will continue to be added to columns B and C in the future so I can't have a "hard-coded" set of rows if that makes sense.
I've pasted a small 2 product example of Sheet2 below.

I have built a Userform that is for a Liquor Inventory. I would like to scan each bottle's UPC Code and pull it from a range list that is set up in (Combobox "UpcBarCodeBox"). That information is stored on a sheet "Liquor & Wine Inventory" in Column "A" (Unsorted). Column "B" is the name of the liquor which is also the column that everything is sorted in alphabetical order. What I would like to do is populate several textbox's that I have set up so that I can input missing data or data that needs to be updated. The problem is I would LOVE to keep the list sorted by Liquor Names (Column "B") and not by UPC Bar Codes (Column "A"). From my research I have found that Index and Match might be the way to go but I can't seem to get it to work right. Since I am still learning VBA, Some things still escape my grasp.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.UpcBarCodeBox.List = Worksheets("Liquor & Wine Inventory").Range("A5:A205").Value

i found this example of a combobox at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms996411.aspx. but I don't think it is for excel. Is there anyway I can use code to make it so my combobox's list will be like the picture so it shows all the words instead of cutting them off?'
