All I want to do is to make sure every time there is a change in the combobox
all cells are updated, but it doesn't so I tried forcing it byreplacing and
equal sign by an equal sign something like this:

Sub UpdateWkbk()

Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim dashsht As Worksheet

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set dashsht = Worksheets("Dashboard")
Set sht = Worksheets("Data")
sht.Select
alreadyupdate = True
For i = 1 To 10
sht.Range("J8:U40").Replace What:="=", Replacement:="=", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
alreadyupdate = True
Application.Volatile
Application.SendKeys ("%XR") ' This is to execute a refresh of a UDF because
is also not happening automatically.
Next i
dashsht.Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
However, this triggers the Combobox

So I figure I work around it like this:

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
If alreadyupdated Then
Exit Sub
Else
UpdateWkbk
End If
alreadyupdate = True

End Sub

Nothing is working
I have ensured that in my options, I have set my calculation to automatic
Calculation.

Maybe Events are disabled. Try this at the top of your code.

Application.EnableEvents = True

Untested.

I would have thought that:

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
application.calculate
'or depending on your version of excel
application.calculateFull
application.CalculateFullRebuild
End sub

Would have worked.

I just added both statements and still won't update, I have Excel 2003 SP3.
However, If I do it step by step it works, but then it defeats the purpose
of having a sub.

There's a minor typo - if this is a direct copy / paste from your
module, it might be giving you problems:

Sub UpdateWkbk()
[SNIP]
alreadyupdate = True *****
For i = 1 To 10
sht.Range("J8:U40").Replace What:="=", Replacement:="=", LookAt:=xlPart, _
* * * * SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
* * * * ReplaceFormat:=False
* * * * alreadyupdate = True *****
* * * * Application.Volatile

[SNIP]

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
* * * *If alreadyupdated ******* Then
* * * Exit Sub
Else
* * UpdateWkbk
End If
* * alreadyupdate = True *******

Ed

Thanks but the typo on the update word is not the issue it is just a typo.
They both read update in my code.
