What sort of combobox. If it is a controls toolbox, then link a cell to the
combo using the LinkedCell property, and then use MATCH to find its index in
the source

=MATCH(linked_cell,listfill_range,0)

If it is a forms toolbar, again set the cell link property (right-click the
combobox, select the control tab) to a cell, and that cell will capture the
index.
