    ActiveX ComboBox Linked Cell Empty Value

    Hello,

    I have ActiveX Combobox. When I clear Combobox, the linked cell seems to have a value. See attached worksheet. Cell A1 is a linked cell and Cell A5 has formula Isblank(A1). Cell A5 says FALSE when there is not value in Combobox selected.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    Hi,

    I can only assume that Excel treats the fact that A1 is marked as linked to something (the combobox as it happens) means that it regards it as not empty.
    In fact it's not just a combobox. If you put =IF(1=1,"",99) in a cell and test that with an ISBLANK() it will also show False.

    Try instead
