Combobox

[AllenL]

Hello
I am trying to create a combobox that has a list of data in a column that elimate the duplicated data and sort them.
I have a code(from the website) that creates very similar function I need. The only differences is that it uses listbox and not combobox. Then I try to modify it to combobox but I can't get it to work
The following is the code for the web:
Sub SortAndRemoveDupes()
Dim rListSort As Range, rOldList As Range
Dim strRowSource As String

'Clear Hidden sheet Column A ready for list
Sheet1.Range("A1", Sheet1.Range("A65536").End(xlUp)).Clear


'Set range variable to list we want
Set rOldList = Sheet2.Range("A1", Sheet2.Range("A65536").End(xlUp))

'Use AdvancedFilter to copy the list to Column A _
of the hidden sheet and remove all dupes
rOldList.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, _
CopyToRange:=Sheet1.Cells(1, 1), Unique:=True

'Set range variable to the new non dupe list
Set rListSort = Sheet1.Range("A1", Sheet1.Range("A65536").End(xlUp))

With rListSort
'Sort the new non dupe list
.Sort Key1:=.Cells(2, 1), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
End With

'Parse the address of the sorted unique items
strRowSource = Sheet1.Name & "!" & Sheet1.Range _
("A2", Sheet1.Range("A65536").End(xlUp)).Address

Sheet1.Range("A1") = "New Sorted Unique List"
With UserForm1.ListBox1
'Clear old ListBox RowSource
.RowSource = vbNullString
'Parse new one
.RowSource = strRowSource
End With

End Sub







This is the code after I modified:

Sub SortAndRemoveDupes()
Dim rListSort As Range, rOldList As Range
Dim strRowSource As String

'Clear Hidden sheet Column A ready for list



'Set range variable to list we want
Set rOldList = Columns(2)

'Use AdvancedFilter to copy the list to Column A _
of the hidden sheet and remove all dupes
rOldList.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, _
CopyToRange:=Cells(1, 2), Unique:=True

'Set range variable to the new non dupe list
Set rListSort = Columns(2)

With rListSort
'Sort the new non dupe list
.Sort Key1:=.Cells(2, 2), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
End With

'Parse the address of the sorted unique items
strRowSource = Columns(2).Address
MsgBox "StrRowSource" & strRowSource

With UserForm1.txtWeight

'Clear old ListBox RowSource
.RowSource = vbNullString
'Parse new one
.RowSource = strRowSource
'.AddItem = strRowSource

End With

End Sub


Can someone please help

Thanks in advance

What is the problem you are having?

Also, did you name your combo box txtWeight?

Yes, I did name my combobox as txtWeight
I got an error on the following line
Sort Key1:=.Cells(2, 2), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom

I can't figure out what cause this problem
Please help
Thanks in advance

Hi Allen

Did you download the example that goes with this?

You have made modifications to the code, but not allowed for this in other parts of the code! For example you have:

'Set range variable to list we want
Set rOldList = Columns(2)

'Use AdvancedFilter to copy the list to Column A _
of the hidden sheet and remove all dupes
rOldList.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, _
CopyToRange:=Cells(1, 2), Unique:=True

I doubt this would work as you are trying to tell Advanced filter to Copy uniques to another range, but 'the range' is the range of the original list!

Hello Dave or Anyone
Is the line below

'Set range variable to list we want
Set rOldList = Sheet2.Range("A1", Sheet2.Range("A65536").End(xlUp))

the same as the line below?

Set rOldList = Columns(1)

Thanks in advance

Hello
Can anyone tell me howcome the line below works
'Clear Hidden sheet Column A ready for list
Sheet1.Range("A1", Sheet1.Range("A65536").End(xlUp)).Clear

Worksheets("Hidden").Range("A1", Sheet1.Range("A65536").End(xlUp)).Clear
