How to select values from Dropdown menu on a webpage:VBA - vba

Question

My code :
Sub login()
Dim IE As Object
Dim HTMLDoc As Object, HTMLDoc2 As Object
Dim objCollection As Object
Const navOpenInNewTab = &H800
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = True
IE.Navigate "https:/com/1/19/login.esp"
Do While IE.Busy Or IE.ReadyState <> 4: Loop
Set HTMLDoc = IE.Document
With HTMLDoc
HTMLDoc.getElementById("USERNAME").Value = "xxxx" 'Entering credential
HTMLDoc.getElementById("PASSWORD").Value = "yyyyy"
End With
Set objCollection = IE.Document.getElementById("loginbutton")
objCollection.Click
'Second webpage
Do While IE.Busy Or IE.ReadyState <> 4: Loop ' opening the second webpage
Set HTMLDoc2 = IE.Document
With HTMLDoc2
**HTMLDoc2.getElementById("DEPARTMENTID").selectedindex = 1 'Drop down menu
HTMLDoc2.getElementById("DEPARTMENTID").FireEvent ("onchange")**
End With
Set objCollection = IE.Document.getElementById("loginbutton")
objCollection.Click
End Sub
Q)What code changes do I do to select Dwell_DF option Value 1567?
The above code gives run time error '424' : Object required.
HTMLDoc2.getElementById("DEPARTMENTID").selectedindex = 1 'Drop down menu
HTMLDoc2.getElementById("DEPARTMENTID").FireEvent ("onchange")
The above line give the error.
In the first webpage I fill the login credentials then in the next page is that of the image pasted with this post. Here I want to change the value in the drop down menu.

Answer 1

Give this a try. The value "1567" corresponds with the InnerText "Dwell_DF".
With HTMLDoc2
.getElementById("DEPARTMENTID").Focus
.getElementById("DEPARTMENTID").Value = "1567" 'You can also loop to find the text of the Option
.getElementById("DEPARTMENTID").FireEvent ("onchange")
End With

Answer 2

It should be something like this.
Sub passValueToComboBox1()
Dim ie As Object
Dim oHTML_Element As IHTMLElement
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Visible = True
ie.navigate "http://your_URL_here.php"
While ie.Busy Or ie.readyState <> 4: DoEvents: Wend
Set oHTML_Element = ie.document.getElementsByName("selectedReportClass")(0)
If Not oHTML_Element Is Nothing Then oHTML_Element.Value = "FUBU7"
For Each oHTML_Element In ie.document.getElementsByTagName("input")
If oHTML_Element.Type = "submit" Then oHTML_Element.Click: Exit For
Next
End Sub
