Hello,

what is the way to shorten this formula:

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim ws As Worksheet


Set ws = Worksheets("Settings")


Unload Menu


With Menu_Names


    .TextBox1.Value = ws.Range("V2").Value
    .TextBox5.Value = ws.Range("V3").Value
    .TextBox9.Value = ws.Range("V4").Value
    .TextBox13.Value = ws.Range("V5").Value
    .TextBox17.Value = ws.Range("V6").Value
    .TextBox21.Value = ws.Range("V7").Value
    .TextBox25.Value = ws.Range("V8").Value
    .TextBox29.Value = ws.Range("V9").Value
    .TextBox33.Value = ws.Range("V10").Value


    .TextBox2.Value = ws.Range("W2").Value
    .TextBox6.Value = ws.Range("W3").Value
    .TextBox10.Value = ws.Range("W4").Value
    .TextBox14.Value = ws.Range("W5").Value
    .TextBox18.Value = ws.Range("W6").Value
    .TextBox22.Value = ws.Range("W7").Value
    .TextBox26.Value = ws.Range("W8").Value
    .TextBox30.Value = ws.Range("W9").Value
    .TextBox34.Value = ws.Range("W10").Value


    .TextBox3.Value = ws.Range("X2").Value
    .TextBox7.Value = ws.Range("X3").Value
    .TextBox11.Value = ws.Range("X4").Value
    .TextBox15.Value = ws.Range("X5").Value
    .TextBox19.Value = ws.Range("X6").Value
    .TextBox23.Value = ws.Range("X7").Value
    .TextBox27.Value = ws.Range("X8").Value
    .TextBox31.Value = ws.Range("X9").Value
    .TextBox35.Value = ws.Range("X10").Value


    .TextBox4.Value = ws.Range("Y2").Value
    .TextBox8.Value = ws.Range("Y3").Value
    .TextBox12.Value = ws.Range("Y4").Value
    .TextBox16.Value = ws.Range("Y5").Value
    .TextBox20.Value = ws.Range("Y6").Value
    .TextBox24.Value = ws.Range("Y7").Value
    .TextBox28.Value = ws.Range("Y8").Value
    .TextBox32.Value = ws.Range("Y9").Value
    .TextBox36.Value = ws.Range("Y10").Value


End With


Menu_Names.Show


Set ws = Nothing


Unload Me


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
For this section only:

Code:
 .TextBox1.Value = ws.Range("V2").Value
    .TextBox5.Value = ws.Range("V3").Value
    .TextBox9.Value = ws.Range("V4").Value
    .TextBox13.Value = ws.Range("V5").Value
    .TextBox17.Value = ws.Range("V6").Value
    .TextBox21.Value = ws.Range("V7").Value
    .TextBox25.Value = ws.Range("V8").Value
    .TextBox29.Value = ws.Range("V9").Value
    .TextBox33.Value = ws.Range("V10").Value

to give you an idea of the logic, how about something like this:

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()


    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim x As Long, i As Long
    
    Set ws = Worksheets("Settings")


    Unload Menu
    
    x = 1
    For i = 1 To 33 Step 4
        x = x + 1
         Controls("TextBox" & i).Value = Worksheets("Settings").Range("V" & x).Value
    Next


End Sub

You could try condensing it down into a loop like this (not tested)

Code:
Dim i As Integer
Dim p As Integer
Dim rc as Integer
p = 0
rc = 1

For i = 1 To 36
    Dim c as String
    c = "V"
    p = p + 1
    rc = rc + 1

    If rc => 11 Then rc = 2 

    If p = 1 then
        c = "V"
    ElseIf p = 2 then
        c = "W"
    ElseIf p = 3 then
        c = "X"
    Else
        p = 0 
        c = "Y"
    End If

    Controls("TextBox" & i).Value = ws.Range(c & rc ).Value
Next i

edit* forgot to add in the RC variable

In either case it bugs out at
Code:
Controls("TextBox" & i).Value
line giving a weird Run-time error '-2147024809 (80070057)': Could not find the specified object.

Well my code is tested and it worked, either way if both responses use the same command with the same syntax then perhaps the code is not the issue..

Are you running it with the form open and clicking a command button on the form to trigger the code.

Basically, it's a UserForm within Userform

1. a Menu UserForm opens and that contains 4 command buttons
2. clicking a CommandButton1 unloads the Menu and this code runs before it opens the Menu_Names UserForm

here is what I've done with your code @igold

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim x As Long, i As Long
    
Set ws = Worksheets("Settings")


Unload Menu


    x = 1
    For i = 1 To 33 Step 4
        x = x + 1
         Controls("TextBox" & i).Value = ws.Range("V" & x).Value 'this is the line where the code bugs out. It looks like it should work. Perhaps it has to do with how I unload main UserForm "Menu"?
    Next


'With Menu_Names


    '.TextBox1.Value = ws.Range("V2").Value
    '.TextBox5.Value = ws.Range("V3").Value
    '.TextBox9.Value = ws.Range("V4").Value
    '.TextBox13.Value = ws.Range("V5").Value
    '.TextBox17.Value = ws.Range("V6").Value
    '.TextBox21.Value = ws.Range("V7").Value
    '.TextBox25.Value = ws.Range("V8").Value
    '.TextBox29.Value = ws.Range("V9").Value
    '.TextBox33.Value = ws.Range("V10").Value


    '.TextBox2.Value = ws.Range("W2").Value
    '.TextBox6.Value = ws.Range("W3").Value
    '.TextBox10.Value = ws.Range("W4").Value
    '.TextBox14.Value = ws.Range("W5").Value
    '.TextBox18.Value = ws.Range("W6").Value
    '.TextBox22.Value = ws.Range("W7").Value
    '.TextBox26.Value = ws.Range("W8").Value
    '.TextBox30.Value = ws.Range("W9").Value
    '.TextBox34.Value = ws.Range("W10").Value


    '.TextBox3.Value = ws.Range("X2").Value
    '.TextBox7.Value = ws.Range("X3").Value
    '.TextBox11.Value = ws.Range("X4").Value
    '.TextBox15.Value = ws.Range("X5").Value
    '.TextBox19.Value = ws.Range("X6").Value
    '.TextBox23.Value = ws.Range("X7").Value
    '.TextBox27.Value = ws.Range("X8").Value
    '.TextBox31.Value = ws.Range("X9").Value
    '.TextBox35.Value = ws.Range("X10").Value


    '.TextBox4.Value = ws.Range("Y2").Value
    '.TextBox8.Value = ws.Range("Y3").Value
    '.TextBox12.Value = ws.Range("Y4").Value
    '.TextBox16.Value = ws.Range("Y5").Value
    '.TextBox20.Value = ws.Range("Y6").Value
    '.TextBox24.Value = ws.Range("Y7").Value
    '.TextBox28.Value = ws.Range("Y8").Value
    '.TextBox32.Value = ws.Range("Y9").Value
    '.TextBox36.Value = ws.Range("Y10").Value


'End With


Menu_Names.Show


Set ws = Nothing


End Sub

Can you alter your code so that it opens the Menu_Names Form prior to the triggering the code...

I think I know what it is. I probably have to define with which UserForm
Code:
Controls("TextBox" & i).Value = ws.Range("V" & x).Value
should run. In this case with "Menu_Names".

Code:
Menu_Names.Controls("TextBox" & i).Value = ws.Range("V" & x).Value
.

just tried it as I was typing this and it worked. Now I have to do this for remaining TextBoxes

Thanks so much. I'll also try @frabulator 's code

This somewhat works. It spreads the data in the correct columns but not rows. I feel I can improve on it. Or maybe simply with @igold 's code. Thank you...

You could try condensing it down into a loop like this (not tested)

Code:
Dim i As Integer
Dim p As Integer
Dim rc as Integer
p = 0
rc = 1

For i = 1 To 36
    Dim c as String
    c = "V"
    p = p + 1
    rc = rc + 1

    If rc => 11 Then rc = 2 

    If p = 1 then
        c = "V"
    ElseIf p = 2 then
        c = "W"
    ElseIf p = 3 then
        c = "X"
    Else
        p = 0 
        c = "Y"
    End If

    Controls("TextBox" & i).Value = ws.Range(c & rc ).Value
Next i

You're welcome, I am glad that you have it working. Thanks for the feedback. We were both happy to help.
