Hello Guys, I am getting problem in writting VBA for my combobox in userform.What I want with my combobox to do is.1) I want to select list of my items from another workbook. (Another workbooks address = 'E:AtirsPsycheBMarkData') (list Range = 'C8:C)(Sheet name = Customer)2) I want auto complete in my ComboBox.3) I want ComboBox to show item names in aplhabatical order list as I write starting word of my item in ComboBox.4) ComboBox should show the added items in that other workbook's list. Because that list is addable.5) I don't want ComboBox to show empty list.(i.e. If I have 3 items in my list and the range of list is 100 rows the it shouldn't show empty list after 3 items in my list)I am getting unknown errors and bugs.Please send me the VBA for this userform.I also have command button in my user form which is going to show my selected item in certain column of same sheet. So if you send me VBA for this also, then that would be more appriciated.
(cell name where my combobox selected value should appear = '(E$7$:G$7$'))Thanks a lot in advance.S. Atir.moved from Office / Excel / Windows other / Office 2013. I am not going to create and write all of the code for you but here is some information that should help you. The last part of you question re the Command button I do not understand what you require.
Open both Workbooks (The one with the source data for the ComboBox list and the workbook with the Userform). It is best to open both in the same forder of directory and then move the Source Data as per instructions below after setting up.
In the Userform Workbook, insert an extra worksheet. In cell A1 of the Extra worksheet enter a formula similar to the following. When creating the formula, change workbooks and select the first cell of the source data in the source workbook for both parts of the formula where I have Data.xlsmCustomer!C8in the example. This will automatically create it in the correct syntax.=IF(Data.xlsmCustomer!C8',Data.xlsmCustomer!C8,'). Copy the formula down for enough rows to accommodate any additional names that are likely to be added to the source data. Don't over do it by copying to bottom of worksheet but allow sufficient for any forseeable future number of names. Data for the actualdata in the source will be displayed and a zero length string will insert for the blanks below the already existing data.
While on the same sheet, select Formulas ribbon - Define Name. Enter a name for the List.
Suggest cboListSource. In the Refers to field enter the following formula.
(Edit Sheet3 to your sheet name if not Sheet3). Note that when editing formulas in the Define Name dialog, click in the Refers to field and then press F2 to place it in Edit mode otherwise if you use an arrow key, it will think you are selecting cells on the worksheet.)=OFFSET(Sheet3!$A$1,0,0,COUNTIF(Sheet3!$A:$A,'?.' )). The formula will create a Defined name list that is only the actual displayed names. See Offset Function Help for more information on the Offset function.
In the CountA Part, the criteria for the count is '?.' . Thanks for the feedback. I didn't know how much expertise you have in VBA and I was hoping that my guidelines were good enough for you to follow.Did you resolve your problem with the Command Button? You said you wanted the ComboBox value in E7:G7 and that is 3 cells so I am a bit confused as to exactly where you want the output.If you wanted the output to just one cell then the following in the Command Button code. Note that it is good programming to always include the Worksheet reference with the range. That way it does not matter if it is not the active sheet.Worksheets('Sheet1').Range('E7').Value = Me.ComboBox1.Value 'Me is Generic object for the UserformHowever, you could output the same value to 3 cells like the following.Worksheets('Sheet1').Range('E7:G7').Value = ComboBox1.ValueThe following code would place the output in the next blank cell in row 7.
Using With / End With so don't need to repeat the sheet reference in front.Cells and also again in front of.Columns.Count.With Worksheets('Sheet1').Cells(7,.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, 1) = Me.ComboBox1.ValueEnd WithRegards, OssieMac.
