I have a ComboBox in a userform that has drop down selections, but also allows typed entry.

If I use the ComboBox.Clear function, it only removes any value that is part of the list assigned to it.
Any hand typed entry remains. What is the proper function to clear typed text from a ComboBox?
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Turns out adding the line

ComboBox.Value = ""

With the .Clear code works, in case anyone with the same issue stumbles upon this thread sometime in the future.
