Hi everyone.

I was wondering if there is a way to change the cell link of a named ("CMB_BOX1") combo box using a macro? Say for example it is now unlinked, i would like a macro to link it to cell a1 (which contains a "2") and have the combo box update, so that it displays the 2nd name in the list (already linked).

Can i do this all with a macro?

Thanks :)

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
