VBA: Using Symbols

**christopher.choa** · 07-27-2012, 04:11 AM

I have a problem, when I have if-else statements that specifies the value of my combo-box, I encountered error on symbols (greek letter raw to be specific)
It only displyed ? as seen in the incomplete program. Any help would be appreciated.

Drop the Greek symbol into a cell on a hidden sheet, and check against the cell value.

By the way, I tried!! But I think I will asked a stupid question... I don't know where to view the cell value.
I just know the code in MACRO... eg sheets("Sheet1").Cell(1,1).Value however, I don't know how to display it. I tried displaying it in the msgbox, however, no value appeared.

Many thanks Bob

It won't show in a message box, VBA has a problem with Unicode. My suggestion was to use in the comparison against the combobox value.

Ok!! Got you point!!

ElseIf ComboBox1.Value = "T" The

ElseIf ComboBox1.Value = ActiveSheet.Range("S2").Value Then

My symbol is located at cell S2

Thanks for the reply.

Cheers,
