Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Hi good afternoon, I really hope you can help with this please, I am quite new to this and really stuck.

Try this

Code:
Private Sub ComboBox2_Change()
    Dim sh As Worksheet
    
    If ComboBox1.ListIndex = -1 Then Exit Sub
    
    Set sh = Sheets("INDAY LISTS")
    Set f = sh.Range("A:A").Find(ComboBox2.Value, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
    If Not f Is Nothing Then
        TextBox1.Value = sh.Cells(f.Row, "L").Value
    Else
        MsgBox "Dont exists"
    End If
End Sub

You can put an example of the data on the sheet.
What data do you select in the combobox1, what data do you select in the combo2 and what data do you expect as a result in the textbox3?

Hi in textbox 3 I would like the post code to auto populate when a name is selected from combobox2 and stores is selected from the dropdown list in combobox1. for example in sheet 'IN DAY LISTS' for combobox 1 the list is located in row E and I have stores, Vehicle issues, late start, for names is located in Row D and the postcodes are in Row I,

It is clear to me, I have to fill in the textbox3.
What I do not understand is the relationship of the combobox1 and the combobox2



Another small detail
Row D and the postcodes are in Row I

Must be
Column D and the postcodes are in Column I


You can put an example of the data on the sheet.
What data do you select in the combobox1, what data do you select in the combo2 and what data do you expect as a result in the textbox3?

You could upload a copy of your file or image file to a free site such www.dropbox.com. Once you do that, mark it for 'Sharing' and you will be given a link to the file that you can post here. If the workbook contains confidential information, you could replace it with generic data.

hi combobox2 has a list of peoples names to select from which is in column D, and in combobox1 is a list of reasons, which you can select, but when they select 'stores' from combbox1 and a name from comboox2 I want the postcode to the stores to automatically updated in textbox3. The postcode for the stores for each name is in in column I. hope this makes sense.

Is it too much trouble for you to put an example, an image or a file?

Please Note
-----------------------
One thing you must keep in mind when you ask a question in a forum... the people you are asking to help you know absolutely nothing about your data, absolutely nothing about how it is laid out in the workbook, absolutely nothing about what you want done with it and absolutely nothing about how whatever it is you want done is to be presented back to you as a result... you must be very specific about describing each of these areas, in detail, and you should not assume that we will be able to "figure it out" on our own. Remember, you are asking us for help... so help us to be able to help you by providing the information we need to do so, even if that information seems "obvious" to you (remember, it is only obvious to you because of your familiarity with your data, its layout and the overall objective for it).
