Formating Combo Boxes
 

I have a combo box that references a range. Both the range and the
linked cell are formated for 00%. The drop down list in the combo box
shows 10%,20%,30%. But everytime i select on of the items from the
dropdown list I return a value of .1,.2 or .3 depending on what I
selected. I have looked through the forums but have been unable to
locate a fix for this. Can someone please help me.

Thanks

Steve,
Try this:

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
ComboBox1.Value = Format(ComboBox1.Value, "00%")
....... ' any other code
End Sub

Change the "00%" to "00.%" if you want a decimal place

Toppers, thanks but that didn't work either.

The real problem seems to be that I am not formating the Combobox. No
matter what I format the linked cell I still don't seem to change the
combobox formating.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This was driving me nuts. It worked perfectly.

Thanks again.
