Hi Guys,

I am creating a dashboard where I have 2 ComboBoxes (ActiveX - chose this because of the ability to do events such as '_change').

Background
My first department lists a product category (i.e. Sport, Games, Clothes, Food etc) and the second ComboBox is dependent upon the selection of the first. In order to deal with the dynamic behaviour, I have two Pivot Tables (1 for product category and 1 for products), when the user makes a selection in ComboBox #1 it updates the PivotTable for ComboBox #2, creates a dynamic range based on these values and adds the values to the ComboBox.

Problem - Linked Cell Error
ComboBox #1 has a linked cell for the value selected and the value is then obtained in the ComboBox and cell. I have done the same for ComboBox #2 however when I choose and option it goes to the linked cell but removes the value from ComboBox #2.

I require the linked cell to obtain the values necessary for later calculations & formulas. I have even tried VBA to obtain the ComboBox.value and then attribute this to another Range.

I am really confused because as of yesterday morning this was functioning fine, however I am now seeing issues.

Has anyone seen a similar issue or know a potential fix??

Thanks
