    Re: Call in the cavalry -- need help solving this thread

    I'm off to meetings for most of the rest of the afternoon and seem to be going in circles on this one:

    Re: Call in the cavalry -- why text and not number

    I'm stumped as to why his spreadsheet is doing this. The combo box is returning the value as text and not a number. He attached an example.

    Re: Call in the cavalry -- need help solving this thread

    His named range "size" in the drop down boxes sheet has cells formatted custom: #" which is number with the quote custom inserted.

    If you change to text and actually enter the quotes in those cells, then the initial sheet works.

    Edit: I think I misinterpreted...Please ignore

    If I use that approach for the 2 comboboxes then the formula in $F$34:$F$63 break down.

    You can always update the references to B26 or C26 in those formulas with Left(B26,2), Left(C26,2) or Substitute(B26,"""","")... but I am sure the methods you and romper provided should work better.

    Re: Call in the cavalry -- need help solving this thread

    I think I just have a mental block on this one. It shouldn't be that difficult for some of you INDEX/LOOKUP geniuses. It's more of a delete similar data than a merge similar data.
