Default Combo box showing row number only

You used a dropdown from the Forms toolbar.

You can either replace that dropdown with a combobox from the control toolbox or
you can use another cell to return the value:

=if(x99="","",index(sheet1!a1:a23))
(where x99 is that linked cell)

I have a spreadsheet where I have placed a series of combo boxes. Each one
uses "Sheet 1" A1:A23 as a reference and places the value in a linked cell.
However, instead of giving me the value, it places the row number in the
linked cell. Could someone tell me how to fix this.

Thankyou in advance
Mike
