I have 31 comboboxes on a userform, can someone show me how I can loop through them all and count how many unique values have been selected?

The comboboxes have a maximum of 6 separate items in the list so I shouldn't get more than 6 unique values. Also, I need to store the unique values for use later - maybe this is a big ask?
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Ahh!

I didn't think of using that same one - so sorry Fluff, but thank you!!

Happy Xmas....

If you want the count as well you can use
VBA Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
   Dim i As Long
   
   With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
      For i = 1 To 6
         .Item(Me.Controls("ComboBox" & i)) = Empty
      Next i
      MsgBox "Number of uniques is " & .Count
      Me.ComboBox7.List = .Keys
   End With
End Sub
