Why is it that when the format for the range of cells in my combo box properties are percentages does the selection from the drop down list appear in the combo box as a decimal, rather than showing a percent sign? Is there a way to have the selection in the combo box show as a percent, with the percent sign?
Help!

Hi cpc

The Combobox will pick up the real values of a cell and not it's formatting. Use this

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
If ComboBox1.ListIndex > -1 Then
Combox1 = Format(ComboBox1, "0.00%")
End If
End Sub

Just be aware that the value will now be Text and NOT numeric. But there many ways to still use the Text in other functions.
