Data Range Or The Cells To Display The List When The Combo Box Is Clicked
Apr 30, 2009
I know how to turn the autocomplete on and off but I don´t have a clue where I configure the data range or the cells to display the list when the combo box is clicked.
I am assuming that this is done in the Edit mode at "linkedCell" and LisfFillRange ... yet I can´t get this to work.
I have been trying to make a combobox for which the list is a named range. However, this range needs to be transposed. ListFillRange doesn't seem to let me transpose the list first. I've tried transposing the list somewhere else first and then adding it, but it seems to want a range as opposed to a reference to a range. I'm so confused now. This is the basic code that I wish would work.
While I'm at it, could someone explain to be how to refer to a combobox. ie. when you create it, you don't name it so how can you refer to it. That's why I have used the selection tool above to add the list.
I'm creating a sheet that takes three Validation Lists into account. The first two lists are based on named regions. The third list uses the first two lists to narrow a search down so that the user can pick what they want from a smaller selection. I'm using the code from Contextures.com to allow the user to double click the validation list to pop up a Combo Box. This allows me to show more than 8 selections at a time and also gives a little freedom on font and font size.

Since the third list is not based on a named region but rather code to compare the two previous lists, when I double click the third validation list a blank combo box pops up. it possible to pop up what ever lists are in the validation boxes.
This is the code that I have in the third validation box which States "The Source Currently evaluates to an error" but works fine for some reason. =OFFSET(CategoryStart, MATCH(B4, CategoryColumn, 0) - 1, IF(A4 = "Description", 2, IF(A4 = "ExtDescription", 3, IF(A4 = "PartNumber",4))), COUNTIF(CategoryColumn,B4), 1)
I tried making a named region that was based on the code, so that the list could change as the user selected different options from the first two lists. This gave me the same problems as I had before.
I got work sheet with all data, and i need something like, if cell A1 = Left, and cell A2 = right, display only a range of data, say all data in row P to R and row U to W only accordingly to the criteria i set in a new worksheet in same workbook. And i need the display data to update automatically everytime i change the criteria.
I am preparing a template for which I need a combo box. Becaue it is a template I can't have this combo box any specific input range. Because I won't know how long the data column (that wiill be used for input range) will be.
Also the data column will have many duplicates but the combo box needs to show uniques only.
I am automatically generating a hyperlink to another document. The link that generates is: (I don't know if this qualifies as code, but I'll tag it anyhow...)
with 06-09-05 0000020 Name as a directory off the current App.path, and 06-09-05 0000020 Name.xls being the name of the file in the directory. It does have a sheet called "Notes". The thing of it is, the hyperlink takes me to the right place, it just gives me an error message every time saying "Reference not valid". How can it be taking me to the right place, and still giving me the error?
I have 4 combo boxes with selectable options and several cells for inputting data into. I'm looking to create a reset button that returns combo box values back to the first one in the list and clears all cells at the same time. I've figured out the cell reset as follows;
How could I create a menu that displays cells from another sheet when the appropriate menu value is selected?
For example, the menu (on sheet 3) would have:
Week 1 Week 2 Week 3
If I select Week 1, I want to display cells B4:B10 from sheet 2 underneath the menu. If I select Week 2, I want it to display cells B19:B25 from sheet 2 under the menu.
I have 180 different images to display with 60 different situations. This means that for every combination of 4 variables, there are 3 images. What I have set up right now are combo-boxes where a user would be able to select the situation which best suits them within the four variables. What I would like to happen would be to have the 3 images pertaining to the chosen variables appear within the worksheet. These images could be put within a worksheet or accessed through a folder.
I just want to create a combo box that will allow my manager --- not so good at using menu commands or the scenario manager --- to choose one of five different budget scenarios. I can't seem to get the actual scenarios to change when the selection is made from the combo-box.
Been doing pretty good up till now but I can not figure out how to get a combo box in the first blank cell of column A. I am using the named range 'Units' and there are almost 900 of them so I need the combo box.
Im using code from website: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal11.html
to display a combobox when I double click any cell that contains a validation list in it. I'm not great with VBA so I am having problems finding what each part of the code does. This is causing problems for another bit of code that I use to display a msgbox when certain values are selected from the list.
The MsgBox shows up great when I select an item from the validation list but does not work at all when I select the same item from the double-clicked combo box. It would be great if I could get the MsgBox to work both ways. This is the code that displays the MsgBox when target value is selected from list
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Select Case Target.AddressLocal(False, False) Case Is = "B4", "B5", "B6", "B7", "B8", "B9", "B10", "B11", "B12" If Target.Value = "H" Then MsgBox "This is a pop for extra information. Savvy?", vbYesNo, "Yo!" End If End Select End Sub...............

II have a list of football fixtures (see attached sheet - barclays premiership) each with a different status Win,Loss,Draw,Pending. I want to display the next team with a Pending status in a cell at the top of the list (cell T13/14) so the user knows at a glance what the next fixture is. I also want to display the days remaining to that fixture in the cells below this (cell T15/17).
There will be anywhere from 1 to 5 values in each of these columns, but not successively. There will be several blank cells inbetween these nonblank cells, which I need stacked neatly into the first five rows at the top of the worksheet.
Example:
(A10) - Apples (A17) - Oranges (A23) - Peaches (A38) - Some other fruit of your choice...
(B14) - Toyota (B21) - Honda (B44) - Mercury...........

I want a table to display data based on which month i select from a drop-down list, the data is of course extracted from a different table. For example, in my final table( highlighted in yellow), i want to display the revenues, cost of goods sold..etc of April in this table when i choose April from the drop-down list, the data of the entire year is located in another table that i plan to hide, as we only need to review one month.
I have a long list of delegates attending functions on different dates and need help with 2 problems:
A) List has filters by date/venue etc but I will want the table to be visible even when list is filtered.
B) I am using the following formula to count "=SUMPRODUCT(--($E$3:$E$728="Thursday 3rd September 2009"),SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET($E$3,ROW($E$3:$E728)-MIN(ROW($E$3:$E$728)),,1)))" and this works but if I filter to another date then 3rd September shows 0.
I have a work book with several (couple of hundred) buttons, which when clicked display the contents of a range of cells in a message box as shown below;
I am trying to do 2 things involving data validation. 1) Count the number of entries in a data validation dropdown list and display a result. 2) Use an If statement to pull the formatting from a cell into another cell.
An example would be if Cell A1="A", then show the drop down list associated with cell or sheet "!ryanB2". Alternatively, I would like to also display the number of entries in the drop down list.
I have a worksheet in which Col. A contains the names of London boroughs and col. B contains the name of each Ward in that borough. I'd like to create a list (or combo) box showing all the London boroughs, and a second list (or combo) box which will show all the Wards for the Borough selected in the London list (combo) box. I'd also like the option to be able to select all the Wards for the borough selected so that they can be used in a chartgraph.
