ComboBox
 

I want to be able to extract data selected in a ComboBox.
In Excel, on a cell I am writing a formula to extract the content of the
comboBox1. The ComboBox1 has a list and the user has selected "Company" from
the list.
Now on a cell in Excel, I want to extract that selection. My attempts with
the following formulae do not work.
=Sheet1.ComboBox1.value.
Anyone can help please.

If the Combobox is from the Forms toolbar,
with the Control tab settings, say:

Input range: $A$1:$A$5
Cell link: $B$1

then we could extract the selection made in any cell,
say in C4, with the formula: =INDEX(A1:A5,B1)

Thanks Max. I got the hint. I went and clicked on the properties of this
comboBox and then entered the cell number next to the Linked cell. It works
fine.
