VBA: ComboBox

[Stromma]

Hi All

In a UserForm i have 2 ComboBoxes.

ComboBox1 List = Sheets("Artikel").Range("A2:A1000")
ComboBox2 List = Sheets("Artikel").Range("B2:B1000")

Both Combo's match each other:

If ComboBox1 = A3 Then
ComBox2 shows B3 etc

ComboBox1 = Sheets("PartsDeliver").Range("D28")
ComboBox2 = Sheets("PartsDeliver").Range("D29")

It would be easier if i could use 1 Combo with 2 Columns where:
Column1 = Sheets("Artikel").Range("A2:A1000")
Column2 = Sheets("Artikel").Range("B2:B1000")

Column1 = Sheets("PartsDeliver").Range("D28")
Column2 = Sheets("PartsDeliver").Range("D29")

I've been trying to set this up but i just can't get it to work!

Anyone who could offer some help on this?

Here is one method to accomplish what you are looking for. Now, there are many different ways to do this, but this is just one that I have used in the past.

<font face=Courier New><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Private</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN> UserForm_Initialize()
    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Dim</SPAN> rangeArray()
    
    rangeArray = RangeToArray(Sheets("Artikel").Range("A2:B1000"))
    
    ComboBox1.columnCount = 2
    ComboBox1.Column() = rangeArray
    
    Erase rangeArray
<SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN>

<SPAN style="color:#00007F">Private</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Function</SPAN> RangeToArray(cellRange <SPAN style="color:#00007F">As</SPAN> Range) <SPAN style="color:#00007F">As</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Variant</SPAN>
    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Dim</SPAN> tmpArry()
    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Dim</SPAN> currentRow <SPAN style="color:#00007F">As</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Long</SPAN>, currentColumn <SPAN style="color:#00007F">As</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Long</SPAN>
    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Dim</SPAN> columnCount <SPAN style="color:#00007F">As</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Long</SPAN>, rowCount <SPAN style="color:#00007F">As</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Long</SPAN>
    
    columnCount = cellRange.Columns.Count
    rowCount = cellRange.Rows.Count
        
    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">ReDim</SPAN> tmpArry(columnCount - 1, rowCount - 1)
    
    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">For</SPAN> currentColumn = 1 <SPAN style="color:#00007F">To</SPAN> columnCount
        <SPAN style="color:#00007F">For</SPAN> currentRow = 1 <SPAN style="color:#00007F">To</SPAN> rowCount
            tmpArry(currentColumn - 1, currentRow - 1) = cellRange.Cells(currentRow, currentColumn)
        <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Next</SPAN>
    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Next</SPAN>
    
    RangeToArray = tmpArry
    
    Erase tmpArry
<SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Function</SPAN></FONT>

Hi Tommy

Thanks for the response!

Questions:

When i select an ComboBox item list, how can i make the Combo show both Columns?

How do i get the value from Column1 to ex: A1
and Column2 to A2?

Answers:

1. Both columns should be showing since the ColumnCount property was set to 2. You may need to resize your ComboBox, or adjust the ColumnWidths property of the ComboBox.

2. To retrieve the value of each column...you would access the Column property. Following is an example of code to be attached to a command button.

<font face=Courier New><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Private</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN> CommandButton1_Click()
    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">If</SPAN> ComboBox1.ListIndex <> -1 <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Then</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#007F00">'make sure there is a selection</SPAN>
        Range("C1") = ComboBox1.Column(0)
        Range("C2") = ComboBox1.Column(1)
    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">If</SPAN>
<SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN></FONT>

Hi Again

When i open the list in the Combo i have two columns with value's. Then if i select a value in either list (by clicking), the list close and only the left Column Value shows in the Combo.

If its possible i'd like to have both columns value shown.

I've tried all changes i can think of so if you have any suggestions about this it would be great.

Everything else works like a charm... and t's so much easier when you see both columns at the same time.

Thanks a lot!

Like I said, you'll have to resize your ComboBox or adjust the ColumnWidths property.

Hi Again

I tried that before my last post, both making the Combo large as...
and to adjust the ColumnWidths.

I even tried to change ColumWidths in the "UserForm_Initialize" event, but even then it only shows the left Column value in the Combo.

Did i miss something?
