display data based on a combobox
 

Hi

I have a table full with data (name, date, quantity, amount, etc...) on
sheet2

In sheet1, I have a combobox with all of the names on the table and I
need to know how to display automatically the data from sheet2 for only
the name I select from the combobox in sheet1.

I was thinking sending the value of the combobox to a cell and making a
vlookup for that value on sheet2, but I only get the first value.

Please help

Thanks

Daniel

display data based on a combobox
 

Daniel,
One option is to use MATCH to find the name (and hence row) in
sheet2 and then read the data into an array

Assume data is in columns A to H with A containing name.

Dim Data as variant
Dim ws2 as worksheet

set ws2=worksheets("sheet2")

Myname=Worksheets("sheet1").range("a5") ' <=== your Combobox selection

row = Application.Match(MyName, ws2.Range("A:A"), 0)

If Not IsError(row) Then ' <==== match found

Data = ws2.Range("B" & row & ":H" & row) ' Read data into array

For r = LBound(Data, 1) To UBound(Data, 1)
For c = LBound(Data, 2) To UBound(Data, 2)
Debug.Print Data(r, c)
' ... Assign to cells in Sheet1
Next c
Next r
End If
