Hi,

I am trying to create a combobox within a userform that pulls its items from a dynamic range called "Options_Port" "=OFFSET(Options!$B$9,0,0,COUNTA(Options!$B11:$B103),1" on a worksheet called "Options". I am not sure if it matters, but the worksheet "Options" is hidden.

I have verified the range is correct and definately pulling up data.

When I try to run the following code, I get a Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '__Global' failed.

I have also tried explicitly naming the range by calling it from ActiveWorkbook etc, but I still get the same error. Please help!

Code: 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    PortSelect.List = Range("Options_Port").Value
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Sort by date Sort by votes
See if either of these work. Make sure the combobox's RowSource property is cleared. The 12 is a constant for visible cells.


Code: 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
PortSelect.List = Range("Options_Port").SpecialCells(12).Value
End Sub

or

Code: 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim cell as Range
For each cell in sheets("Options").Range("B11:B103").SpecialCells(12)
PortSelect.AddItem cell.Value
Next cell
End Sub

or

Code: 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim cell as Range
For each cell in sheets("Options").Range("B11:B103")
If len(cell.Value) > 0 Then PortSelect.AddItem cell.Value
Next cell
End Sub
