I have a long list of clientele in one column, I use a combo box to see all of these. I want to be able to type 'S' and have the drop down list automatically move me to the clients starting with "S". I know I cannot do this with data validation, so I'm pretty sure a combo box is my only choice.
View 6 RepliesHello, I'm using VBA to produce a combo box for any cell using data validation list.
This way the cell auto completes as well as displays as many fields as desired...I now have it functioning so that when you click on any cell that contains data validation list assigned to it, it will create the combo box in the cell for you...It functions great most of the time, however the sheet is used all day long and on a average 10 hour day it causes Excel to crash about 3-5 times. ....
I want to make a combo box in excel that, if i select it the sheet inside the combo box will appear.
Example:
Inside of combox are: Sheet1
Sheet2
Sheet3
If i click combo box and i choose sheet3 the sheet3 will appear.
How can i do this? theirs a macro code to use?
I'd like autocomplete to work in sheet 1 (Cell B4, if it matters) checking from data in sheet 3.
It's for addresses. I want to be able to access them quickly from the first few letters then use VLOOKUP to fill in the rest (the VLOOKUP formula is done and working).
I have an excel file with a large amount of data. It is used to keep track of our firms past and current projects (on each row). The columns include data such as the name of the client and the city in which the project is located.
The excel sheet is set up with filters, so that it is easy to check which jobs we've done for client 'X', for instance, or the jobs initiated since a certain date.
In order for the filters to work properly, we need to make sure that, as an example, teh client name has to always be inputed in the same manner. Using excel's autocomplete option works well for this.
New projects are added to the top of the list. So, a new row has to be added each time a new project is inputted.
In order to automate things, I've made a userform with text/comboboxes in which the data for the new project is inputted and then placed onto the sheet once the userform is closed.
Is there a way to have the text/comboboxes on the userform use the autocomplete feature? As an example, if I'm entering the client name for a new project, is there a way to have the textbox autocomplete the client name by checking in the client column on the sheet? And, if there is more than one client starting with the same letter, is it possible to make a listbox appear showing all the clients beginning with that letter so the correct one can be picked?
Since the list of clients will always be changing, I don't want to code a certain set list, or have to continually update a list. (besides, the amount of coding would be huge considering the number of clients I would have to give it's own .AddItem)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to perform autocomplete on a cell as I type but I want it to activate only after I'm done typing in numbers.
For instance, the data I need to type in is an address, say '60 Yonge Street'. So, after I type in '60' I would like the autocomplete to be performed on the Street Names. Also, in column A in another sheet I have a list of all the street names.
I've used ComboBox, Data Validation and OnKey to do this before on Street Names only, but now I need to do it after I type the Street Number in.
What I want to do is click a vendor from a drop down list. When the vendor is selected, I would like the following to auto complete in their appropriate blank cells: street address, city/state/zip, phone and fax.
I have set up my page to the look I want as sheet 1. Sheet 2 is the list of vendors being column A is the names that are indicated in my drop-down list.
Column D is the street address, Column H is the city/state/zip, column M is the phone and Column Q is the fax.

List is Dynamic and/or Resides on Another Worksheet. Lets say your list is on Sheet2 and you wish to use the Validation List with AutoComplete on Sheet1. On Sheet1 A1 Enter =Sheet2!A1 and copy down including as many spare rows as needed (say 300 rows total). Hide these rows and use this formula in the Refers to: for a dynamic named range called MyList: =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,MATCH("*",Sheet1!$A$1:$A$300,-1),1)...............
I have this long list of data (company name, company ID and OIC) on sheet 1.
Then on sheet 2, user will key in the company name manually then the company ID and OIC name will auto-populate (i did the match index already on this one) before filling in the other cells.
How do I make the cell to auto-complete the company name by using the list of data in the other sheet? Do I use the combo box? If I use the combo box, will it affect the match index formula i created for company ID and OIC?
I am using Excel 2007 and I was finally able to create a combobox for a dropdown list.
My problem is that I canīt figure out how to set the autocomplete in the properties of the box ... I simply donīt see the fmMatchEntryComplete? I am not using Data Validation which I know how to use.
I even looked at this post and that didnīt help me

Is it possible to "Autocomplete" a Vendors name in an excel cell from an Access Database of vendors and then perform a vlookup from the database for contact name, address, phone, email, etc.... in adjacent cells?
For example if I begin typing "Acc" then I automatically get a list of vendors from my vendor database in Access beginning with Acc to choose from, such as Accent Cabinet, Access Grage Doors, etc...
I have seen this problem mentioned on other threads, but, didn't see the resolution. I got the below code from contextures.com's sample spreadsheet DataValComboBoxSheet.xls. When I press the tab or enter key, Excel crashes. This macro does exactly what I need which is to allow the user to autocomplete from a long list of validation values that come from another spreadsheet. The code causing the crash is the Select Case KeyCode statement when the keycode is 9 or 13. I am running Excel 2002.
Option Explicit
Private Sub TempCombo_KeyDown(ByVal _
KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, _
ByVal Shift As Integer)
'Hide combo box and move to next cell on Enter and Tab
Select Case KeyCode
Case 9
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Activate
Case 13
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Case Else
'do nothing
End Select ....................................
how to disable autocomplete for a specific cell. There is only one cell (A11) that I don't want to use auto complete but I want every other cell to be able to still autocomplete. I think it may have something to do with matchentry being set to 2, but I'm not sure how to do this.
I don't know what sintax I need to use. I've tried this line of code but it doesn't work
A11.MatchEntry = fmMatchEntryNone
I have cells containing large drop down lists (offering many possible entries). Is it possible to get excel to "jump" in the list or complete the entry automatically? If i start typing "aut", it should the drop down entry "automation". For your information, I just use Define Name and Data Validation to create the drop down list. Is it must be using VBA code or I just can use Define Name and Data Validation which has been I created?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI currently have showing 800 suppliers in a List Box... sadly when having to search for a sepcific supplier this seems to be very fustrating and time comsuming for people in the Company.
I have tried the method of copying all of the Supplier above the list, so it can do an AutoComplete filter, but the data needs to be exact.
What i would really like is if i was to type the letter "V" in the cell, it would be able to provide me with a list of the "V" suppliers in a list.
I'm using a script that when you double click on a cell containing Data Validation > List it changes to a combo box that has an autocomplete/increased columns view...It's working great, however there are two small modifications I would love to do and am not having much success with. Currently, you double click the cell w/the Data Validation > List in it, it then changes to a combo box and you can auto complete using the keyboard or select the dropdown and choose from an increased list. However, I would like to be able to simply single click on the cell, have it change to the combo box and auto expand the list if possible.

I have to create two combo boxes and when a user selects a value from one combo box, the values should get changed in the other combo box.
For example : if one combo box has values like "c/c++ programming" "java programming" and so on.. ... i would like to display the authors recommended (corresponding to combo box1) in the combo box 2.
I would like to create a combo box however the contents of the combo box depends on what i have selected in a previous combo box.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have used and adapted the following code for my sheet:
http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=824
But this combo-box only appears when I change from and back to the first sheet. I would like to either let the combobox appear
-when I open the file or
-when I click anywhere in the first sheet (can be a specific cell, or not)
Another solution would be to "fix" the combobox to a specific cell, ie not make it pop up anymore but just have it there.
I am having a few problems trying to amend the code so that it only uses the text box and combo box below. Unfortunately I am having a few problems. I am new and have amended this spreadsheet / code from another user on this site.
When I delete the combo box on the right, using developer mode, a run time error occurs.
I've got a worksheet which uses comboboxes at certain points for users to input data. At other points in the sheet they are entering directly into cells.
I've got the sheet protected, with the input cells unlocked so that it is possible to jump to them using the tab key.
However, I can't seem to make the tab key jump to any of the comboboxes. Ideally I'd like to set the full order for the tab key so that it jumps between input cells and comboboxes at the required stage.
I am trying to set-up a database where a list of people are trained on different items of equipment.
Is there anyway of doing this example please?
John is selected from a drop down box.
If he is trained on certain equipment, the box will turn green automatically. If he is not, the box will be red.
I am assuming, I will have a separate sheet housing all the names and what areas they are trained in.
I have a problem where a combo box in a form won't populate from the VBA code in the initialise routine. I've tried a couple of difference methods for populating the combo box without success. The code I have is:
VB:
Option Explicit
Sub NewTender()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
[Code].....
I tried the excel file uploaded by Norie but it only displayed "Is". Are there any settings I need to modify to allow the add item property to work?
I added a combo box to a worksheet and closed and saved it. But I don't want it amymore. I cannot delete it. I try right clicking it but nothing. The worksheet,(workbook) isn't protected.

For instance the row in which the combo exists, is shaded blue, is there a way to make the box the same shading too?
I have 8 combo boxes on Sheet 1, which must contain the info from Sheet 2.
The "Group" Combo boxes should contain the letter of the group (A, B, C or D - the information should be used from the D2:D5 cells from Sheet 2).
I want when user clicks on the Group Combo box (the one on the "1st Grade" row for example), and select some group (for example A), in the left combo box (which at first says "Choose Group ..."), all the names of studenst from 1st Grade and A group to be displayed.
