Hi,

I am not an experienced user and I have an userform with 16 comboboxes. The boxes are named CoBo_IN_01_01, CoBo_IN_01_02 to CoBo_IN_04_04. They have to be filled with the following items: 0, 10, 20, 30, to 100.

I know how to fill the boxes in VBA code one by one using add item. THis is very slow by the way.
But I think it's possible to do it a lot quicker. Is it possible to fill the comboboxes automatically using a next i, next j construction for the box names?

I would greatly appreciate any help!

Thanks


Alex

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
hi alex.

welcome to the board!

you can use .Column() = Array(...) to load your combobox in one step. to loop through your comboboxes, you could follow a similar technique as below. to use this example, create a new userform with three comboboxes named ComboBox1, ComboBox2, ComboBox3

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Call Test
End Sub
Sub Test()

    Dim i As Long
    
    For i = 1 To UserForm1.Controls.Count
        MsgBox UserForm1.Controls("ComboBox" & i).Name
    Next i
    
End Sub

Thanks for your quick response!
For my example it's vital the comboboxes remain named CoBo_IN_01_01 etc.
In which way can I use your trick for my comboboxes?
Is there a better way than the stone age programming I've done so far?
I'm struggling with the following code:

Code:
 For ".CoBo_IN_0" & "i" & "_0" & "j" 
                .Clear
                .AddItem "0"
                .AddItem "10"
                .AddItem "20"
                .AddItem "30"
                .AddItem "40"
                .AddItem "50"
                .AddItem "60"
                .AddItem "70"
                .AddItem "80"
                .AddItem "90"
                .AddItem "100"

                      If VBA_Ship_Product_Combi_IN_0 & "i" & "_0" & "j" = 1 Then .value = 0
                If VBA_Ship_Product_Combi_IN_0 & "i" & "_0" & "j" = 2 Then .value = 10
                If VBA_Ship_Product_Combi_IN_0 & "i" & "_0" & "j" = 3 Then .value = 20
                If VBA_Ship_Product_Combi_IN_0 & "i" & "_0" & "j" = 4 Then .value = 30
                If VBA_Ship_Product_Combi_IN_0 & "i" & "_0" & "j" = 5 Then .value = 40
                If VBA_Ship_Product_Combi_IN_0 & "i" & "_0" & "j" = 6 Then .value = 50
                If VBA_Ship_Product_Combi_IN_0 & "i" & "_0" & "j" = 7 Then .value = 60
                If VBA_Ship_Product_Combi_IN_0 & "i" & "_0" & "j" = 8 Then .value = 70
                If VBA_Ship_Product_Combi_IN_0 & "i" & "_0" & "j" = 9 Then .value = 80
                If VBA_Ship_Product_Combi_IN_0 & "i" & "_0" & "j" = 10 Then .value = 90
                If VBA_Ship_Product_Combi_IN_0 & "i" & "_0" & "j" = 11 Then .value = 100
        Next i
    Next j

alex.

rather than using additem, you could use the .List property (demonstrated below). it looks like you've named your Combi_IN such that the codes line up with your ComboBoxes, so i've added that to the code as well -- i'm not sure what these are, so that might be problematic. furthermore, if the names don't line up, you'll need to do something similar to what you have currently.

Code:
Sub LoadCombos()
    
    For i = 1 To 4
        For j = 1 To 4
            With UserForm1.Controls("CoBo_IN_0" & i & "_0" & j)
                .Clear
                .List() = Array(0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 100)
                .Value = ((VBA_Ship_Product_Combi_IN_0 & "i" & "_0" & "j") - 1) * 10
            End With
        Next j
    Next i
                   
End Sub
