Text Inconsistencies In ActiveX Combo Boxes

Jan 16, 2010

I'm building an application that uses a large number of activex combo boxes. These boxes are getting loaded from specific fields in an associated database.

I know ActiveX combo boxes can be buggy; I'm wondering if anyone has found a way around the text appearance inconsistencies seen in these controls? e.g., sometimes the text is smaller, sometimes it's spaced wider, sometimes it appears at the top of the combo box sometimes in the center.

I put a screen shot of what I'm talking about in a word doc along with a control properties screen shot, All controls have the same properties except for the text property.

I have a combo box named Combobox5 and a text box named Textbox7.

Should this code go in the Userform Initliaze or where? I have tried placing it in both the ComboBox5 Change evnent and no luck so far.

Range("G22:J28").Value = TextBox7.Text

Range("G22:J28").Value = TextBox7.Value
I am using Excel 2003. Any ideas??

Populate Two Text Boxes Based On A Combo Box Selection

Dec 31, 2009

I want to populate the values of two textboxes that we will call TextBox5 and TextBox6 from columns W and X of a spreadsheet called "PowerAnalysis" when a selection is made form ComboBox5.

The ComboBox5 works perfectly now. I just need it to populate the other two text boxes.

All the data resides in the same row on the same sheet of PowerAnalysis when the selection is made in ComboBox5.

I hope I have been able to give a clear picture of what I am wanting to do.

Binding Combo Box To Cell

Aug 15, 2006

I have an incredibly simple question, for anyone who knows Excel well. I pre-apologize for the gaps in my knowledge, as I'm mostly self-taught.

I have an example spreadsheet I found on a thread here.

It has cells A1 and A2 bound to combo boxes.

I want to set up a worksheet pretty much exactly like this.

I know how to do a combo box as an external item on the page, but I want each cell in a certain column on each row to be a combo box.

Pick From List Or Combo Box And Return Definition In Cell To The Right..

Jan 18, 2009

In my attachment, I have a worksheet where I need to pick a rating from a combo box or list (Expert, Leading, Applying, Learning, Under Performing). I will be picking this rating 10 different times on this worksheet and the selections will not be the same in all cases so the definition I need won't always be the same.

I would like to return the definition (definitions are detailed on another worksheet, Data Elements) to the cell to the right.

I've tried IF statements but when I make one selection from the combo box, all the combo boxes select the same thing. I've also tried vlookup but can't figure it out and can't find an explanation in layman's terms.

If Text Of Cell In Range Matches Text Of Cell In Column - Match Formatting

Jul 5, 2012

Trying to create a button that, once clicked performs the following task:

Checks whether the text in a cell in the column X2:X40 matches the text in a cell in the Range A2:U14.

If it does, the formatting of the cell in X2:X40 (eg background) must change to match that of the corresponding cell in A2:U14.

Only 1 cell in the range will match 1 cell in the column

For example:
Before click:
Cell A9 has "John" written in it and a yellow background
Cell X4 has "John" written in it and a clear background

During click:
matches these cells
changes X4 so that it also has a yellow background

After click:
Cell A9 has "John" written in it and a yellow background
Cell X4 has "John" written in it and a yellow background

Excel 2013 :: Check Cell For Text And Return Corresponding Text In Adjacent Cell?

Jan 28, 2014

I have 2 tabs in a 2013 workbook. Inventory Receipts and lookups. One of the Data verification lookups I have is a drop down list in each cell in Column B (eg: Cat, Dog, Mouse) In the lookups tab I have another cell range containing the sounds (eg: Meow, Bark, Squeak).

What I am trying to acheive is, if B2 contains Cat, then return Meow in B3, if B2 contains Dog then return bark in b3 and if B2 contains Mouse return squeak in B3. Ideally I would like the formula to return the text from my lookup sheet (eg: 'Lookups'!C2,'Lookups'!C3,'Lookups'!C4). So depending on which option they choose from my animal drop down list .. the correct noise would automatically fill in.
