Hello!
I am a little stuck on a project I am working on and a little new a
macro programing...

I have multiple macros that will search my spreadsheet, each on
designed to search for a specific Name and copy the entire row relatin
to that instance of that name to a new sheet along with all othe
instances of that name. So, for instance, I can pull all the "Bobs" ou
of my data and they will be stored on a new sheet.

What I would like to do is have a Combo Box that displays all of th
names where each name is linked to the specific Macro. So I can pul
the box down, select "Bob" and the "Get Bob" macro runs, and if
select "Dave" the "Get Dave" macro runs.

The problem is I am unsure of how to do this... I can create the Comb
Box, and assign a macro, but can only assign one macro, thus making i
so that every name I choose uses "Get Bob"...

Anyone know a way to possibly code the links to make it so that i
works correctly? Or anything?

Is what I want even possible? Cause I dont want a bunch of buttons i
at all possible :(


Thanks a bunch

Sub MacroCaller()
Select Case ComboBox1.Value
Case "Bob"
Call GetBob
Case "Dave"
Call GetDave
Case else
Call Nobody
End Select

Does that help any?

If all you macros perform similar functions, just pass the name. e.g.
Function FindData (argName as string) as boolean
dim foundrange as range
set foundrange=Range("rngData").Find(argName,,...etc)
If Not foundrange is nothing then
'perform your actions based on foundrange
FindData =true
Else
FindData = false
End if

Then in the Combobox1_Click event
Dim RetVal as Boolean
RetVal=FindData (Combobox1.Text)
If RetVal=False then Msgbox "No data for " & Combobox1.Text
