    How to get combo box working

    I'm trying to create a combo box with 4 options. For each option in the drop down menu, I want to use IF statements... but I can't get the combo box to load the 4 options! This is the code that I have so far, which I got from reading online tutorials. However, it does not work and I cannot figure out the reason why. I don't get any error message, the options on the drop down menu are just blank.

    What kind of drop down box are you using?

    You don't add the items using the change event
    Hope that helps.

    I believe I am using a drop down list box. Another tutorial said to change the "List" field in the properties of the combo box, but I don't see just "List" as a field in properties, I see "ListRows", "ListStyle" and "ListWidth"


    Thanks for the reply

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

    Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
