Hi Forum,
I'm kind of stuck with this issue for 2 months now. I'm trying to create a userfriendly searchfunction for my food database which consists over 10000 item lines.
I already have created defined names, and created 2 columns with a few dropdownlists that indirectly link the data chosen in the first dropdown, so the coresponding next data will show in the next dropdown. The lists are still too long, so a decent searchfunction is needed. I figured the only way in excel for this to happen is with a combobox, so i got a combobox now with some additional scripts to convert the 'indirect' function from datavalidation to a vba readable version.
So what's not working yet?
1st. - when i type in the searchbox it will only show the first looked up searchresult in the combobox dropdown, only after pressing enter and reselecting the combobox with the remaining searchword in it, it'll show the full searched list.
2nd. - Is it possible to filter the dropdownlist either in the combobox or both in the combobox and the normal cell in alphabetical order without having to sort my actual datatable?
In the attachement there is a link for an example workbook with a similar simulated problemcase and vbascripting.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Kind regards,
Arnoud Holtzer
