Currency List Dropdown for Worksheet
 

I have a worksheet where I would like to create a list that contains
all the currencies that Excel has available (similar as when you
select Format - Cells - Number - Currency, and then there is a
dropdown list for Symbol). Once the person selects the currency the
Worksheet numeric cells are then formatted with the currency
selected. I am aware of the NumberFormat, and I have recorded a macro
that obtains the currency selected. The part I am not sure how to do
is to get the list of the currencies that Excel has, that I can
display in my List for the user to choose from?

I think this probably has been done, but I have not been able to
locate a sample yet. Any ideas or recommendations?

thanks,
Enzo

i found it..............
i used an option button to tell it which custom currency format to
apply to the selection.

you could record a macro formatting several numbers, one @ a time, in
different currency formats to see how the macro recorder writes them.
then you could assign a variable name to each format, and list the
names in a listbox........... whichever name is selected from the
listbox applies the correct currency formatting.

this was my code from my worksheet:

Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()

'i had the selection pre-selected by a named range....
'you could just select what you needed & then run
'this & it would work on just what you selected.

Application.Goto Reference:="ChangeSymbol"
Selection.NumberFormat = "[$$-409]#,##0.00"
OptionButton1.Value = False

End Sub

hope this helps!
