Update Multiple ComboBox List Fill Ranges
Feb 21, 2008
in A1 there will be a box with LinkedCell set to A1 and ListFillRange set to B1:B5. I now want a similar box in A2, with A2 as LinkedCell. However, when I copy paste the box in A1, it still refers to A1 and B1:B5 (the last part is ok). I can easily change A1 to A2 by just changing it in the properties, but the thing is that I also need these boxes in A3:A100. Someone else helped me out by writing some code, but this is not working correctly yet, probably because I'm doing something wrong.
Also, the ListFillRange might expand in the future. Therefor I would like to know if its possible to select the boxes in A1:A100 and change the ListFillRange to B1:B6 for all at once, or even have a piece of code attached to a command button that recognizes the expanded range and updates it.
I couldn't attach the file because it was to big, therefor I uploaded it with yousendit:
[url]
So in short: I would like all the comboboxes in column E to be linked to the cell underneath and have and option to adjust the listfillrange. The same for column F, but for this one the listfillrange needs to be O8:O11.

Need 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.

I am using the method below to fill a list or combo box. It works but is slow when there are to many entries.
Is there a more elegant way to do this? I heard there was a method using the Excel filter function that makes the whole procedure below not necessary....

Excel – Forms – Combo Box, cell updating.
I have a form (the main one) which accesses a second form, which accesses a third form. All forms have a combo box, control button and a text box.
The items selected in the control boxes are entered into cells (the base cells) in the spreadsheet, via “Control Source”. The text boxes access these cells and show the selected items, which are then copied to other cells via a macro on activating the control button in the main form.
The main form stays open while other items are selected and transferred. Some of the items may not be changed (reselected) as they may be common. The problem is that after a number of items have been selected and transferred, the base cells for the second and third text boxes do not update after a selection from the combo boxes, and they continue to show a previously selected item.
The problem can be solved by closing the 2nd and 3rd forms and starting again. What can I do keep the cells updating without closing the form down?

I transposed them into a separate sheet and used that for my lists. I have to share the file with macs.
My pc is on Vista running Excel 2003. The macs are OSX Panther (not Leopard) and running Excel 2003.
Solution (?): if I make the combobox lists programmatically, it will work on the macs?
The UserForm1 with 3 comboboxes:
The comboboxes are not dependent on each other.
For each combobox, I need to have 2 columns.
For each column, I need to transpose 2 x ranges (they are NOT contiguous)
My attempts have been embarassing and futile.

I've made a drop down list and when I select multiple cells and choose from the drop down list, it only fills one. Here's pictures:
So in that first picture, I've selected multiple cells. But when I drop down the menu and click my selection, this happens:
Why is it that all the cells I've selected does not fill with the option that I chose from the drop down. I highly doubt that I have to manually click all the ones I want to fill with what I choose from the drop down list.

Can you create a Pull-down List that contains data from Multiple Ranges.
If I have a List of Names Running down column A (A2:A10) another List of Names Running Down B (B2:B25) and a Third down C (C1:C15) each of them named Ranges ("List1", "List2" & "List3"), can I create a Pull-down list in Cell A1 that would include the names from all three ranges?

I gather two lists of serial numbers (i.e.) from two different sources; one populated in sheet1, A:A (with variable row numbers) and the other in sheet2 B:B (again with varying number of rows)
I am trying to gather a master list of unique serial numbers in sheet3, C:C.
So far I have tried advanced filter, union.range, etc. but couldn't figure work it. I guess some of these columns need to have names assigned to it and have a header.

I have a spreadsheet that has two different data sources (i.e., A and B). The amounts of these data sources (i.e., the number of columns) varies from sheet to sheet. I have to calculate the averages of these data sources independently and together. Because this data is spread across twenty or more spreadsheets, these calculations can be time-consuming. I want to do the following:
1. Locate the last occurrence of the first data source "A" in row and then insert a column after that cell.
2. In that cell, I want to get the average of each data source for each row of data (i.e., there are always 19 rows of data).
I want to do the same two steps for the second data source "B". Then, I want to insert a column after the "B" average and this column will be used to get an average of each row of data from A and B together. Please keep in mind that the number of data sources for A and B varies from sheet to sheet.
So far, I am working on code to try to " find" the text in a range (i.e., find the last instance of "A"), but I cannot figure out how to get it to get it to stop at the last occurrence and then insert a column. I have some ideas about how to calculate the average, but any of yours are much appreciated.
Also, the row with the type of data (i.e., A or B) is named because this function is part of a larger macro. Therefore, it is relatively easy to get to it.
I have attached a version of the file that displays how I want it to look.
The code I have thus far is:
Cells.Find(What:=A, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

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.

I used to have a Text box on the form that allowed the user to enter a value for the Weight variable. But they wanted it changed to a drop down combo box so I have changed the form and added the combo Box with the following
Private Sub CmbBx_Weight_Change()
CmbBx_Weight.Value = UCase(CmbBx_Weight.Value)
End Sub
What the user wants now is to have the combo box where they can enter a variable for the first time through and this value gets added to the combo box list. (The combo box starts out empty). And each time after that when the user comes to this combo box, the first value will be there already and they will be able to use that value or enter a new one and each time save this new one to the combo box. I have been looking at the board for an example, but can't figure it out.

I have problems with updating my ComboBox (old entires remain and keep adding up)- I have built my application from posts on this site
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Dim i As Integer
Sheets("DiagramAnk").ComboBox1.Clear
For i = 3 To 18
Sheets("DiagramAnk").ComboBox1.AddItem Sheets("DiagramAnk"). Cells(1, i).Text
Next
Sheets("DiagramAnk").ComboBox1.ListIndex = 0
End Sub
The code works if I remove the lines .Clear and .ListIndex=0
The list opions runs as Case in ComboBox1_Change()

I have a spreadsheet dealing with orders made by customers and the delivery of the items they have ordered.
When I have delivered the items to a customer I need to note down that their order has been delivered. I also need to enter the date on which it has been delivered.
I have created a user form in which I select the order number of that particular order from a combobox and state whether or not it has been delivered, this is either a "yes" or "no" selected from another combobox.
I then have to note the date in a text box on which the items were delivered.
My problem is getting the answer "yes" or "no" and the date to fill in on the worksheet next to the corresponding order number.

I am trying to find a quicker way to populate a ComboBox with every possible font available to the user on their particular computer in a manner other than simply using a ton of .AddItem statements.
Is it at all possible to get a user created ComboBox to essentially function the same way that the ComboBox for selecting font works normally? Or is it necessary to go through and add the statements myself?
I am creating a interface to specify default settings, one of which is font.

I am making a macro to update the data on a bunch of charts. This is what I got from the macro recorder when I selected the data manually.
Code:
Sub testthree()
ActiveWorkbook.Charts("Julian's Words").Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Super Sight Chart Data").Range( _
"C1:H1,C5:H5"), PlotBy:=xlRows
End Sub
I have created the part of the macro that will go to the data table and define the two ranges I need to use.
Code:
Sub Adjust_Graphs()
Dim lastdate As String
Dim daterange As Range
[Code] .....
However, this code is selecting the entire range C1:H5. How can I get the code to take JUST the two lines I need?
Exmaple: The X axis needs to be C1:H1, and the Y axis needs to be C5:H5.
I also tried this, without success:
Code:
Dim combrange As Range
Set combrange = Union(daterange, wordrange)
ActiveWorkbook.Charts("Julian's Words").SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Super Sight Chart Data").Range( _
combrange), PlotBy:=xlRows

I want to update a number of charts using data that covers a rolling 12 months - this will be amended each month by addition of new data but I will be retaining the full history. I thought the easiest and quickest way would be to name the data range and just amend it each month as I added new data. However, when I use the named range in the chart wizard it is replaced by direct cell references. Can anyone suggest how I can retain the name in the chart or suggest an easy alternative method?

I have a userform (uf_PaxInput) with a Combobox (cmb_flight_dest) which I am trying to populate from a worksheet range ("Dest") using the following code:
VB:
Sub LoadForm()
With uf_PaxInput.cmb_flight_dest
For Each Item In Range("Dest")
.AddItem
Next Item
End With
uf_PaxInput.Show
End Sub
The code seems to run okay however whent the form loads the combobox drops down to show only blank items to select. These blank items number them same number of items that are in my named range ("Dest").
