Using A List Box Or Other Control Form To Activate Different Macros
Jun 4, 2008
I am designing (badly!) an excel file that is intended to be as user friendly as possible. I would like to add in a navigation feature using a list box or other appropriate control form that will take the user to the correct tab in the workbook depending on which item they choose from the list.
My aim is too hide all the tabs at the bottom whilst not crowding my page with multiple command buttons, and still be able to navigate easily through the workbook.

I have 2 dropdown lists.
The 1st shows the portfolio list and the 2nd one should display project names based on the portfolio selection in Dropdown1.
My data resides in another sheet where Column B is the Portfolio list,Column C project list and Column D to X some data related to the project.
I have to give cell link reference to the project selected in dropdown 2 so that the other values in the dashboard changes based on a vlookup formula.
I have attached the sample sheet for reference with some dump values.

I update an Excel file daily and save it to a server on a network. Other network users access this file from their own computers. I have a macro created that opens a dialog box upon opening that shows users know of anything important.
Since employees in the office have Excel set to Paranoid mode or something like that, they are never even prompted that macros exist and are intended to run and that they should choose to allow them to run or not.
I would like to approach the problem in a way other than asking all employees to activate all macros or to lower their Excel security settings at all times or only when opening this single document. That would be considered too inconvenient.

i have a form control listbox (list box 5), it is multi select, i need to create a for next statement that loops through the list in and tells me which "row numbers" as it were are selected. i.e if the 1st and 3rd ones are blue, it returns 1,3 in a cell? (lets say cell A1).

I am an average user of excel and i am wanting some help with macros. I can record macros, that i do understand. Its the part where you can assign the macros to the Checkbox i have created.
The effect i am trying to create is that when the checkbox has a tick in it, certain properties happen to a cell. But when the checkbox has no tick in it something else happens to the cell. I have recorded 2 macros for what i want to happen its just getting it associated with the true/false of the checkbox.
I have no Visual Basic Experience and i have tried reading other posts, but the code just goes right over my head at the moment. Thanks in advance for anyhelp. I can attach the spreadsheet etc...

I have many Form Control Check Boxes that all link to another sheet on row 3.
I have many changes to make but only want to implement the change related to the check box.
This code works perfect when you manualy type true or false on row 3 but not if the check box makes the change.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
ThisCol = Target.Column
If Target.Row = 3 Then
RESULT = MsgBox(Cells(1, ThisCol) & " = " & Cells(3, ThisCol), vbOKOnly, "CLICK RESULTS")
End If
End Sub
Why does this not work when a check box changes the value in row 3?

I have several files with form control buttons that automate functions but, on occasion, they get smaller relative to the worksheet they're in. At some point, they become unuasable unless they're manually resized.

I have a rather large sheet with lots of embedded form control buttons, each one with a document link. Is there a function (no VBA) to search for a specific form control button in excel? for example: i want to find the form control button which is linked to the "application" document.

Does anyone know how to make a form control (ex combobox, textbox) have multiple columns so that it would behave like 4 controls in one. What im going for is a control that looks like the control used when setting windows system time "12:30:00 AM" So "12" is in col 1, ":" is in col 2, "30" is in col 3, ":" is in col 4, "00" is in col 5, and "AM" is in col 6.

how to link VBA to the buttons on user forms:
[url]
Now I'm interested in some refinements to make this little toy I'm building work faster. I want the user to be able to enter data without having to click the text box in order to proceed. My code
Userform1. show
just brings up the form with a text box in it, and the user has to click in the box to get started. Is there code I can add that will put the cursor in the text box so it's ready to go?
I suppose this seems trivial, but it will speed the data entry part of this little project up and every little bit counts.

I am looking to connect 2 form control boxes and have the second box run 2 different types of macros. The first box will have only 2 options - select by week and select by month.
The second box should show the list of weeks or months based on the selection in the first box. Then for the second box, if weeks is shown, a week macro should be run whenever a week date is selected. Similarly for the list of months, a month macro should be run whenever a month is selected.
I have been trying to do this for more than a week (after posting on this board) without success. I apologize if this seems like a duplicate post.

how to get a list of the properties for form control shapes (not control toolbox shapes) that are placed on a worksheet (not on a userform). Eg., a button, checkbox, combobox, etc.
If it's possible, I'm interested in working with properties like "enabled", "caption", etc. that aren't listed on the "Format Control Properties" dialog.
I understand you can edit properties of a form control shape via VBA code (See example below), however, I can't seem to find anything within the object browser about them.
EXAMPLE
With ActiveSheet.Shapes("Scroll Bar 2").ControlFormat
.Min = 10
.Max = 150
End With

I was wondering how it would be possible to create a sort button to perform various sorts on a set of data. Essentially I want to mirror the data sort function in excel but strip it down and have it on the worksheet to make it obvious to people who aren't very excel savvy.
I have 5 columns I want to be able to sort by and I want the option to sort ascending or descending.
I've recorded macros for each type of sorting and now just need to know how to get them to work with the control objects.
I have a combo box with a list of the columns and two radio buttons: one marked 'ascending' the other 'descending'. I also have a button called 'sort' to perform the sort after criteria is selected.
What I need to do now is it to get each macro to run when a certain combination of combo box selection and radio button selection is made.
eg When 'Date' is selected in the combo box and 'ascending' is selected on the radio button it will run the 'SortDateAscending' Macro I have recorded and so on.

I am working on an Inventory control worksheet where i have all parts used in a certain assembly on the left (A) followed by Qty per assembly (B) and then current baseline Inventory (C). In columns D-max i will have at the top a pull down menu to let the user decide if they are subtracting from inventory (Purchase Order) or adding to inventory (Fulfillment). Under both circumstances, depending on which is selected I would like a different form to pop up which allows the user to enter values to control the chart.
If Purchase order is selected then a pop up will ask the order number, date, and quantity. This will then fill in three specific cells in the chart which control an equation to subtract the number of parts based on the order quantity.
If Fulfillment is selected I would like a pop up or the entire parts list to appear with a field to enter the number of parts being stocked. The program will then add these parts to the previous inventory entry.
In the example attached you can see that right now you have to manually enter the number of units ordered, then an If statement takes over to calculate the new inventory level (If statement used to keep things neat and possibly to incorporate fulfillment at a later time). At this time there is no way for me to enter stocking transactions.

I am having some trouble with cascading two tier drop down. I cannot seem to find out how to do it. I am trying to create a two tier cascading drop down in form control. I want the first drop down to be Products we have and the second one to be customers. I also want to be able to create a bar chart from these drop downs where after we choose our customer by product, it shows the revenue we have recieved from the customer by months. Is there a way to do this? I figured out how to do this with just one combo box, but I am unable to do a cascading one.

Is it possible to configure the workbook so the user can view the data in the worksheet from the form and I can hide the actual worksheet so that the data in the workshhet cannot be changed? Or maybe there is a better way all together??
I am attaching a copy of the worksheet.
Second, Is there a better way to input a code that would allow a search for duplicates in certain fields to be flagged (other than the color coding?)

I want to display mutliple columns in a form control combobox. Tried activex and the easy part was the multiple columns. I couldn't get the activex combobox to update properly when a cell value changed.
The form control combobox updates properly but it is only displaying the first column of my named range.

I would like to be able to calculate the number of Net Working Days between 2 dates using the dates returned from the calendar form and have the number of working days placed into a separate cell. Example, I use the popup calendar in A1 and select 10/1/06, I then use the popup calendar in B1 and select 10/9/06 and the number of Net Wroking Days is placed in cell C1. Is there a way to calculate the number of working days between the two chosen dates?
I have the forms for the calendar already created and am using this for the popup calendar but don't know where to start to calculate the working days from the calendars results.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
'This will launch when A1 and/or B1 is selected
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Or Target.Address = "$B$1" Then
CalendarFrm.Show
End If
End Sub

I have multiple dropdown lists (forms combobox, NOT activex) on a worksheet -- once the user selects them, a keypress on the downarrow will move to the next dropdown list.
is there a way of preventing this? instead, i would like to move focus to the next cell (same column, 1 row beneath the combobox)
