Hi all, I have a user form with combobox19 that I need to fill with only the unique values from sheet "maintenance" C2:c500.

Thanks for any help!

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
I couldn't use what you sent, I couldn't figure out how to adapt it to what I needed but I thank you nonetheless because while looking at it I found what to do. I took the original code on the thread top populate combo box #1. Once I selected the value in Combo Box #1 I dumped that value back into the spreadsheet to the right of the source data to become Criteria #1. Then used advanced filter and dumped the filtered data further to the right of the source data. Then in the filtered data I used the original code to populate Combo Box #2. The value from Combo Box #2 dumped into the spreadsheet to the right of Criteria #1 to become Criteria #2. Then used advanced filter again to filter the original list using both Criteria's and then dump the filtered data into the filtered table off to the right. Then used the original code to populate Combo Box #3. Lather, rinse and repeat as needed. The irony is that I've used advanced filters before in macros and did not even think about it when I made reference to using filters exactly like in Excel. [Insert sound of Homer Simpson saying 'Doh!]. Thank you everyone for the help.

Hi,

try

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Dim v, e
With Sheets("maintenance").Range("c2:c500")
    v = .Value
End With
With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
    .comparemode = 1
    For Each e In v
        If Not .exists(e) Then .Add e, Nothing
    Next
    If .Count Then Me.ComboBox19.List = Application.Transpose(.keys)
End With
End Sub

HTH

Your code works perfectly, Would you please explain a bit about dictionary and the loop. Please !

I used advanced filters off the side of the table with all of the drop down options to make this happen. Each drop down activates advanced filters to run based on anything filled into the various drop downs. It works like a dream except when you it’s trying to populate a single value into a drop down. The code I used it doesn’t like that so I forced it to also populate a blank cell below it when there is only 1 item to populate it and that fixed it.
