Have 10 command buttons and a text box. When I enter a value in textbox1 i want to show that number of command buttons

E.g if I enter 0, no command buttons will appear, if I enter 4, command buttons 1,2 ,3 and 4 will be visible and the others won't be.

Thanks

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
This assumes the CommadButtons are named CommandButton1, CommendButton2... CommandButton10.

Code:
[color=darkblue]Private[/color] [color=darkblue]Sub[/color] TextBox1_Exit([color=darkblue]ByVal[/color] Cancel [color=darkblue]As[/color] MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
    [color=darkblue]Dim[/color] i [color=darkblue]As[/color] [color=darkblue]Long[/color]
    [color=darkblue]For[/color] i = 1 [color=darkblue]To[/color] 10
        Me.Controls("CommandButton" & i).Visible = (i <= Val(TextBox1.Value))
    [color=darkblue]Next[/color] i
[color=darkblue]End[/color] [color=darkblue]Sub[/color]

Thanks, but unfortunately they have random names. Is there a way to do it with random names

Change the names to suit. Put them in the order you want them made visible.

Code:
[color=darkblue]Private[/color] [color=darkblue]Sub[/color] TextBox1_Exit([color=darkblue]ByVal[/color] Cancel [color=darkblue]As[/color] MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
    [color=darkblue]Dim[/color] i [color=darkblue]As[/color] [color=darkblue]Long[/color], strRandomName [color=darkblue]As[/color] [color=darkblue]String[/color]
    [color=darkblue]For[/color] i = 1 [color=darkblue]To[/color] 10
        strRandomName = Array([B]"BtnA", "B", "Bob", "Open", "Shut", "X", "Y", "Z", "Alpha", "Frog"[/B])(i - 1)
        Me.Controls(strRandomName).Visible = (i <= Val(TextBox1.Value))
    [color=darkblue]Next[/color] i
[color=darkblue]End[/color] [color=darkblue]Sub[/color]

Thanks the last one works :)

I did try the 1st version renaming some buttons commandbutton1, commandbutton2 etc but it didn't work kept saying 'Could Not find specified object
maybe because there are more command buttons on the userform, that do other things and I just wanted to target the 10.

You're welcome.

Renaming the buttons should have worked. I suspect one may have had a typo or something like that.
