Matching ComboBoxes

We can use Excel VBA to have one ComboBox Control dependent on the item chosen in another. It makes use of Dynamic Named Rangesand the lists laid out on a Worksheet (can be hidden), with appropriate headings and each list named the same as the items in the first ComboBox. Then we can use code like shown below;

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()Dim strRange As String    If ComboBox1.ListIndex > -1 Then       strRange = ComboBox1       Label2.Caption = strRange       strRange = Replace(strRange, " ", "_")            With ComboBox2                .RowSource = vbNullString                .RowSource = strRange                .ListIndex = 0            End With    Else       Label2.Caption = "Associated Items"    End IfEnd Sub

Note the use of Replace to replace any space characters with the underscore. This is needed in some cases as range names cannot contain spaces
