I'm trying to add options to a combo box in a userform. When I run the code, Excel doesn't give any errors, however when the userform shows up it doesn't display the entities I have added to the combobox previously. That is, when I click on the combobox, it doesn't show any options, only one blank row, as if no items were added to it.
Here is the code I'm using:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
ComboBox1.AddItem "xxx"
ComboBox1.AddItem "yyy"
ComboBox1.AddItem "zzz"
End Sub
I am using the following code to call the user form within a macro:
UserForm.Show
The code given in the question works perfectly well. In my case the code didn't work because I manually entered this part of the code into VBA:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
If you make Excel create this module for you instead of writing it on your own, your code should work perfectly. Excel did not have "Initialize" as a default form so I tried "Activate" and it worked.
To create this module you have to do the following steps:
Right click on user form
Click on view code
On top you will see two categories you can pick, you should pick "Userform" and "Activate", after completing this step excel must add a new module to your code.
In this module you may code everything you want about the content of the combobox.
You should also be careful with the spelling of your combobox, if you spell it incorrectly, you may be unable to see the contents of the combobox.
Ensure that the code segment you have posted is in the userform.
Right click on the user form in the VBA view and choose "View Code". Is this where the code is?
Are you sure that the User Form is called 'UserForm' and not 'UserForm1'? 'UserForm1' is the default, similar to 'ComboBox1'.
The below works for me.
'in the UserForm1 code
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
ComboBox1.AddItem "xxx"
ComboBox1.AddItem "yyy"
ComboBox1.AddItem "zzz"
End Sub
The below will display the form.
UserForm1.Show
Is this the only form in the workbook? Create a new one and see if it does the same thing.
Same problem here, but I solved setting ColumnWidths property to -1 (it was set to 0).

I have created A userform with few command buttons.
I can't seem to figure out how do I get the information from them.
I want to open this userform from another one and then I want the user to choose an option from one of the buttons which will change a specific cell in the table itself
the userform I created
I did not write anything on this userform therefor there is no code from it to show only the design.
how do get the information from the buttons to be written in A specific cell on a specific worksheet?
double click on one of the buttons, in the code menu a new sub should appear. this looks something like:
Sub CommandButton1_onClick()
End sub
Alongside this event method, it also has a few properties. The one that is usefull here is the CommandButton1.Value, this represents the state of the button (either true or false iirc).
So build for each button (I strongly advice giving them custom names to prevent getting lost in the trouble) as sub like this:
Sub CommandButton1_onClick()
if CommandButton1.Value then
ThisWorkBook.WorkSheets("WorksheetName").Range("YourRange").Value = "Some value"
else
ThisWorkBook.WorkSheets("WorksheetName").Range("YourRange").Value = ""
end if
End sub
I have an Excel project with a lot of macros.
What I want is assign macros to buttons in the ribbons.
For that I created macros like:
Sub R10_parallel_device()
help.helpON ("parallel_device ")
Call sub_novelty_claims("parallel_device")
End Sub
So the three conditions are met:
a) the macro SUB R10_parallel_device() do not accept parameters
b) it is not private
c) It is not hide
when I go to the list of macros I see all the list of macros named Rnn but all THE BUTTONS ARE GREY OUT EXCEPTFOR CREATE.
Now if I click in that sub for instance SUB R10_parallel_device() I can not edit it and if I click "create" excel sends me to a new created module where
Sub R10_parallel_device()
End Sub
appears.
&
When I go to file/options/ribbon if I want to add that macro to a button it is listed and it is possible to assigne the macro to a button but it would not run, giving the error that such a macro is not found.
NOTE: I checked which macro are listed thisworkbook/all/ etc.
note2: this did not help me. this neither
thx
Confirmed it's the macro names - go to Developer -> View Code (or type Alt + f11), then select the module with your code in it and rename them. For whatever reason it's that R# syntax:
I have a Form Control with ActiveX Radio/Option Buttons in it.
The Form Control name is Side and contains Option/Radio Buttons with names xOption, oOption, and randomSide.
How would I be able to create a Macro that would allow me to set the radio buttons to a certain value upon opening the workBook. Recording a Macro of me clicking options results in a blank Macro. I've Already tried:
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Side")).Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range("xOption").OLEFormat.Object.Value = 1
But this gives me error 1004 and other codes give me error 91. I'm really new to VBA so if I look stupid you know why.
Try something like this, using Worksheets instead of ActiveSheet:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("your sheet name here").OLEObjects("xOption").Object.Value = 1
End Sub
As you want it to be selected after opening the sheet. Place this on ThisWorkbook.
You may try something like this...
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("xOption").Object.Value = 1
Pop up charts in VBA Excel
I was very curious with the answer in the above link.
My question is, Can I pop up a graph with click of button(The button is on Sheet1) and when i go bach to
Sheet thr graph is gone
Pertinent to your question as it is worded in the Title (i.e. 'Can i launch userform from a button in a Sheet'), you can implement this functionality in two simple steps:
1). From Excel 'Developer' tab select Insert -> Button. By default, it will create a new Button1 and corresponding Click event handle will be added to the Module1
Sub Button1_Click()
End Sub
2). Provided that you have a User Form named UserForm1, add a single statement in that event handle that will open the UserForm1 on Button click:
Sub Button1_Click()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub
In case you are trying to implement additional functionality, please include your code snippet highlighting the problematic part.
Hope this will help. Best regards,
Let's do it by point and basing on the answer you have posted.
Can I pop up a graph with click of button(The button is on Sheet1)?
Yes, you can. You need to:
Put a Button on Sheet1 and associate to it a macro, let's say popUpChart;
Create and show the chart:
Sub popUpChart()
Dim ch As UserForm1
Set ch = New UserForm1
'ch.CommandButton1_Click()
'a) Uncomment the line above if you want to invoke the button press before to show the chart
'b) If you decide to uncomment, remember to change the sub from "Private" to "Public"
ch.Show
End Sub
when i go bach to Sheet thr graph is gone
I don't understand well what you mean here. Do you mean "I want the graph to be gone when I go back to the sheet" or "I would like the chart to stay here but actually it's gone?
a) In the first case, it's enough to remove the image from the Image control of the form;
b) In the second case, it's enough to remove the Set statement from the button's macro.
I am using Excel 2013. I have added an activex control to my spreadsheet. The control is a checkbox which I have named chkAD1. My spreadsheet is called "timeseries_AD".
I am trying to reference the checkbox to check its value however without any joy. I have tried the lines below,
worksheets("timeseries_AD").OleObjects("chkAD1").Value
This results in the error message "unable to get the OLEObjects property of the worksheet class".
I have read that an activex control has two names. One is the name of the shape that contains the control the other is the code name. I'm not sure which one I have changed. I clicked on my control and in the Name Box renamed it to "chkAD1". Is that the shape name or code name I have changed?
UPDATE - Apologies
Sorry the control I added is not an activex control it is actually a form control.
I tried this and it worked for me.
When I check the box I get a messagebox that says TRUE.
And when I uncheck it I get a messagebox that says FALSE
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
MsgBox CheckBox1.Value
End Sub
