    Populate a second combo box based upon the first one....

    Greetings

    I'm new to the forum and learning a lot from all your posts, thank you for that if nothing else becomes of this request. I would like to understand how to fill a second combo box based on the selection of the first one. For example if I select a part in column B as 0005-2431 (which there are two entries) I would like the second combo box to show me the information in column P. Any help on the coding would be greatly appreciated....

    Thanks
    Bob

    Thank very much for your very quick response. With my limited experience compared to your 20 years I have found an apparent difference that I didn't highlight during my original post. My column A can have duplicates (variations on the same part) and Column B would highlight the each of these variations. Dont see that working your example. Does that make sense?

    Post a copy of the combobox data.

    If you had loaded your data in my format, you would have found that variations are supported.

    Post your data and I will format it for you.
