Hello,

I have a combobox "VIEW_ITEM_DETAIL_CMB_BX" on the sheet Output that has VBA Code Name "OUTPUT_PAGE". I want to populate that combobox with the dynamic range I've defined as "DYN_COST_DATABASE_ITEMS". This code works when I am populating comboboxed on a userform, but when the combobox is on a sheet, it doesn't work. Help would be greatly appreciated!!

Dim Otpt As Worksheet
Dim Cmb_Bx_Value As Range
Set Otpt = OUTPUT_PAGE

For Each Cmb_Bx_Value In Otpt.Range("DYN_COST_DATABASE_ITEMS")
With Otpt.VIEW_ITEM_DETAIL_CMB_BX
.AddItem Cmb_Bx_Value.Value
.List(.ListCount - 1, 1) = Cmb_Bx_Value.Offset(0, 1).Value
End With
Next Cmb_Bx_Value

Thanks!!
Jason
 

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Can anyone help? I need to populate a combobox on a worksheet with a dynamic range that is contained in the same workbook but a different worksheet.

Hi, This works for me :-
Code:
Dim Otpt As Worksheet
Dim Cmb_Bx_Value As Range
Set Otpt = Sheets("OUTPUT_PAGE") ' See Here !!!!!
For Each Cmb_Bx_Value In Otpt.Range("DYN_COST_DATABASE_ITEMS")
With VIEW_ITEM_DETAIL_CMB_BX
.AddItem Cmb_Bx_Value.Value
.List(.ListCount - 1, 1) = Cmb_Bx_Value.Offset(0, 1).Value
End With
Next Cmb_Bx_Value

Thanks Mick. Still isn't working. The Code Name is OUTPUT_PAGE but the Sheet Name is OUTPUT... either way should work in that regard. Not sure why it isn't working...

Hi, I've altered the cpode slightly to Take account of the sheet name and add reference to ColumnsCount = 2
This was run from another sheet and worked OK.
Code:
[COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR] MG07Aug41
[COLOR="Navy"]Dim[/COLOR] Otpt [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Worksheet
[COLOR="Navy"]Dim[/COLOR] Cmb_Bx_Value [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range
[COLOR="Navy"]Set[/COLOR] Otpt = Sheets("OUTPUT")
VIEW_ITEM_DETAIL_CMB_BX.ColumnCount = 2
[COLOR="Navy"]For[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Each[/COLOR] Cmb_Bx_Value [COLOR="Navy"]In[/COLOR] Otpt.Range("DYN_COST_DATABASE_ITEMS")
[COLOR="Navy"]With[/COLOR] VIEW_ITEM_DETAIL_CMB_BX
.AddItem Cmb_Bx_Value.Value
.List(.ListCount - 1, 1) = Cmb_Bx_Value.Offset(0, 1).Value
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] With
[COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR] Cmb_Bx_Value
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR]
Regards Mick
