Currently I have a list of data that can be filtered. From a user form i have a combo box which uses this list, i also have a toggle button to turn on or off the filter. The problem that i have is that the combo box always displays the entire list and includes filtered cells.

The range of the combo box is set by the range name function and is:

='Live UHC Info'!$A$6:INDEX('Live UHC Info'!$A$6:$A$1500,MATCH(REPT("z",255),+'Live UHC Info'!$A$6:$A$1500))

Thanks in advance for any help you provide

Your named range is based off the entire A6:A1500 range, regardless of what is hidden/filtered.

One thing you might try is to have VBA loop through A6:A1500 and put the visible cells into another sheet. Then, have your named range reference that new list instead.

Hi,

I was hoping to avoid that as the list has about 200 columns worth of data and i'm trying to keep the file useable. Is there any way of ignoring the hidden rows which can be fed into the combo box source?

Thanks again for the help

Clear the RowSource property and try something like this:

Code: 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Dim Sh As Worksheet
    Dim Rng As Range
    Dim c As Range
    Set Sh = Worksheets("Sheet1")
    Set Rng = Sh.Range("A6:A" & Sh.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
    For Each c In Rng
        ComboBox1.AddItem c.Value
    Next c
End Sub

Change the Sheet and ComboBox references to suit.
