Greetings Experts ~

Back in my earlier days I would have lost a large bet believing this was something you could set in the properties list.

I've seen plenty of methods on the 'net none of which make any sense ~ thus, here I am.

A few showing the use of the VBA CountIf function... Whaaaaaaaaat???

Can anyone guide me to what is a simple way of populating a combobox with only unique values from a list.

Thank You, Everyone
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
How about
Excel Formula:
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
   Dim Ary As Variant
   
   With Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      Ary = Evaluate("unique(" & .Address & ")")
   End With
   Me.ComboBox1.List = Ary
End Sub

I guess that is why you are an MVP & a Moderator... :)
