Adding WorksheetData to a ComboBox on a form?
 

Hi Everyone,

I am a real novice and am having a difficult time with coding. I
agreed to make an Excel program to track adverse drug experiences for
work and I would like to fill a ComboBox on a form I created with data
from a single column on a worksheet.

Here is the coding for my form:

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Dim i As Long
Dim S1 As Worksheet

Set S1 = Sheets("DataEntry")

S1.Select
Range("A2").Select
For i = 2 To Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
UserForm6.ComboBox1.AddItem S1.Cells(i, 1).Value
Next i
End Sub


Is there something goofy with my coding?! It seems to run alright, but
there are no values listed in the drop-down box. PLEASE HELP!!! I've
wasted too much time with something that is probably pretty easy to
solve.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
You nearly had your code right, it just needs a few changes. Plus this
code should be run in the UserForm_Initialize() event procedure. See the
code below. Enjoy....

Rick


Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim i As Long
Dim S1 As Worksheet

Set S1 = Worksheets("DataEntry")

' S1.Select (not required)
' Range("A2").Select (not required)
' For i = 2 To Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row (see next line)

For i = 2 To S1.Range("A2").End(xlDown).Row
UserForm6.ComboBox1.AddItem S1.Cells(i, 1).Value
Next i

End Sub

Hello Jeff,

To start with, you have your code in the wrong event. It should b
placed in the Private Sub UserForm_Activate() event module.

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
Dim i As Long
Dim S1 As Worksheet

Set S1 = Sheets("DataEntry")

For i = 2 To S1.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
UserForm6.ComboBox1.AddItem S1.Cells(i, 1).Value
Next i
End Sub

Hi Rick,

I was just reading your reply to Jeff re. populating a combox from a single
column on a worksheet. I have been trying to adapt this so that i can
populate two comboboxes on the same user form from two separate columns on
the same worksheet. I am having no luck!!!

Would appreciate if you could advise.

Thanks,

Ciara
