Hi everybody -

I previously had a drop-down box with a Data Validation list. I then created a combo box in order to have auto-complete. I have since deleted the data that was assigned to the drop-down box via the Data Validation list. I want to assign a new set of data to the drop-down box / combo box but can't figure out how to do it. When I click on the drop-down box now it's just blank and Data Validation only has options for 'Circle Invalid Data' and 'Clear Invalid Circles'.

So when utilizing a Combo Box, is there a way to change or assign a new data validation list? Hope that makes sense. Not very good at explaining myself.

Appreciate any help you all can provide!
 

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
If you have a Activex Combobox and you want to assign a range of values to the Combobox.

1. In Developer mode right click the Combobox
2.Choose Properties
3. Look down list and in ListFillRange
4. Insert something like this: A1:A20
5. This will now put the values in Range("A1:A20") into the Combobox
