Using combobox to find column Scotty9349 12/31/2008 4:05:01 PM I am working on a rolling 12-month budget spreadsheet. The first of the 12 months can be any month. What I would like to do is have a combobox populate the months in order Jan, Feb, etc. Then when the user selects say June it will select the column in which June resides. Keep in mind that June could be anywhere in the first 12 columns. I can populate the combobox, but the order the months are populated is identical to the order the months are listed across the top row.

RE: Using combobox to find column Brotha Lee 12/31/2008 4:35:01 PM Scotty, You can use the listindex property to find the column. As you say the order of the months appear the same as the order in the worksheet. Let's say the combobox is populated as follows: March, April, May, June etc. The listindex for March will be 1, April 2 and so on. For example if you would like to jump to column in which May resides you could use the following code: cells(1,combobox.listindex).select Regards, Brotha lee "Scotty9349" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I am working on a rolling 12-month budget spreadsheet.

RE: Using combobox to find column Scotty9349 12/31/2008 5:17:02 PM Thanks. Is there a way to have the combobox be Jan, Feb, Mar,... but the columns be in a different order, i.e. Mar, Apr, May,...? I would like to have the combobox(Jan, Feb,...) the same regardless of the first column, i.e. Mar and still index to the corresponding column?

Re: Using combobox to find column Dave Peterson <petersod[ at ]verizonXSPAM.net> 12/31/2008 5:47:35 PM I used a combobox from the control toolbox toolbar. My month abbreviations were in row 1. This was the code behind the combobox (in the worksheet module): Option Explicit Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() Dim res As Variant If Me.ComboBox1.ListIndex < 0 Then Exit Sub 'nothing selected End If res = Application.Match(Me.ComboBox1.Value, Me.Rows(1), 0) If IsError(res) Then MsgBox "No month found!" Else Me.Cells(1, res).EntireColumn.Select End If End Sub Scotty9349 wrote: [Quoted Text] > > I am working on a rolling 12-month budget spreadsheet.
