    validating Comboboxes Using named ranges

    Hello i have some code to validate a combobox in excel. But instead of listing all the options, could i point it to a named range and check if it matches any of those. Then if i update the Named range i wouldn't need to update the code?

    The named range is called PaymentMethodTable that lists all those methods.

    thank you for any help given

    Hi Ultimateneo,

    Yep, you can do that. See my example where I've created a Dynamic Named Range of cells in column A. Then the userform's ComboBox's RowSource property uses that DNR. See the attached to see it all work. Add a few names and then click on the Button 2 again.

    I hope my example is close to what you want..

    Maybe something like this.

    Avoid using Select, Selection and Activate in your code. Use With ... End With instead.
