Hi there,

I have 5 different combo boxes - each combobox corresponds to a different column. I have labelled the combo box as 'cbo' followed by their column as such:

cboDocumentSort = column B
cboDocumentRef = column C
cboRelatedRef = column D
cboEngineType = column K
cboUnitType = column L


I want these comboboxes within my userform to display the data I have in these columns accordingly:

1) Some of the data repeats in the columns, so I do not want it to show the same text twice in the combobox.
2) I would like it to show alphabetically.
3) If completely new data is inserted into these columns, that the combobox will automatically update its list with the additional values in the columns.


Thank you. :)

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Where are the comboxes located?

When could the data change?

The comboboxes are just located on a userform interface.

The data can't as such change - it can only be added to.

So new data can be added into the rows.
