Default Multi-column Combo Box

set the control's column count to two, and like Access,
set the Bouind Column to two.

now the combo returns the bound column...

MySheetName = Combobox1.Value

I have a workbook with separate pages for each related
entity. The pages are updated quarterly. An individual
branch may need to be updated on an ad hoc basis in
preparation for a management visit, etc.

I would like to have users pick that branch name from a
two-column combo box. The first column would have the
branch name; the second the branch's financial statement
spreadsheet file name. I would use the first column to
select the related sheet in the report workbook and the
second to open the related financial spread in code when

a
button is clicked. The code would also pull information
from the financial spread to populate the branch's

report
page in the master workbook.

I know how to do a multi-column combo box in Access and
pull the appropriate information from what's selected.
How do I do it in Excel? Or can I?

Thanks for your help.
