Is there a way to collect unique values from several columns (eg E4 to H1500) and put those values into a userform Combobox with no duplicates.

like: E4 F4 G4 H4
row1 Byan PDIV RSI2

Row2 E5 F5 G5 H5
RSI Byan T8 RS

and so on ......

Hope you understand
Thanks

Excel Facts

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
Try this:

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim i As Long
Dim va
Dim d As Object

Set d = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
va = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("E4:H500")
For i = 1 To UBound(va, 1)
d(va(i, 1)) = Empty
Next
       
       ComboBox1.List = d.keys
End Sub

EDIT: Wait, do you mean you have multi column combobox? If yes then we need different code.

From the example data you posted what values would end up in the combobox?

Thanks for the replay.
No I do only have 1 combobox and from this I want to see unique values from E4:H500 even if the same value shows in different cells
so if the value "Byan" shows up in eg. E7 and in G18 or in H400 I only want one value to be visible in the combobox.
Thanks

Ah, you're right, my mistake.
Try this one:

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim i As Long
Dim va, x
Dim d As Object

Set d = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
va = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("E4:H500")
For Each x In va
d(x) = Empty
Next
       
       ComboBox1.List = d.keys
End Sub
