    How to load a one-item list to a ComboBox

    Hi,

    I am trying to add a range of items to a combobox on a userform and the macro works fine except when the range is only one cell (ie one item long).

    How do I make the macro accommodate a list that can be one item long? Or even zero items (which of course would tell the use that no items are available to choose from).

    Here is my code now:

    How do you define the named range "NamesAll"?

    Can you post a workbook?

    Regards

    Re: How to load a one-item list to a ComboBox

    Thanks for the replies!

    Two issues: First, the "Add" method (in Case 1) in Leith's macro blows up. I get the error message "Method or data member not found". Also, no matter how many names there are, Case 1 is always selected. Weird.

    The range name NamesAll is the following formula:

    =Database01!$C$16:INDEX(Database01!$16:$16,1,COUNTA(Database01!$16:$16))

    Re: How to load a one-item list to a ComboBox

    Hold it...

    Found the problem. "Add" should be "AddItem".

    On a related issue, the formula for the range name (see prior posting) has one nasty little bug: I can't handle a range count of zero. Any though on how that should work? I've been trying to replace all the OFFSETs with INDEX, but this one bug I haven't been able to overcome and it forces me to make complicated work-arounds like I need to use in the CASE SELECT.

    Thanks,

    Lawrence

    What do you want to happen if the range is completely blank?

    romperstomper,

    Result in a zero or null value. Right now, if I use the basic INDEX formula structure posted below and add the COLUMNS function to it, it will result in the number 2 when the range is empty.

    BTW, thanks for your first replay...it helped solve why the macro no worky.
