Hi there,

I'm building a Userform with a bunch of Comboboxes which I am populating
from a spreadsheet.

One of the Combobox is beingin populated by a field which has the majority
of the entries the same.

Can anyone help with some code to only populate the Combobox with uniqie
entries only.

Code I have been using to populate the Combobox has been:

sub unserform_initialize ()
a = 2
do until cells(a,1)=""
combobox1.additem cells(a,24)
a = a+1
loop
end sub

Thanks
Dan

Private Sub Userform_Initialize()
Dim ary
Dim idx As Long
Dim rownum As Long

ReDim ary(1 To 1)
ary(1) = Cells(1, "A").Value

idx = 1
rownum = 2
Do Until Cells(rownum, "A") = ""
If UBound(Filter(ary, Cells(rownum, "A"))) = -1 Then
idx = idx + 1
ReDim Preserve ary(1 To idx)
ary(idx) = Cells(rownum, "A")
End If
rownum = rownum + 1
Loop
ComboBox1.List = ary
End Sub

the code below check if item is in combobox before adding new item

Sub unserform_initialize()
a = 2
ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.Clear
Do Until Cells(a, 24) = ""
Found = False
For i = 0 To (ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.ListCount - 1)
If ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.List(i) = _
Format(Cells(a, 24), Text) Then
Found = True
Exit For
End If
Next i
If Found = False Then
ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.AddItem Cells(a, 24)
End If
a = a + 1
Loop
End Sub
