Question

I am using Excel VBA to make an simple app, I have a CELL with Data Validation make it a "ComboBox" , can I use VBA code to set the selectedIndex for it? and how?

Answer 1

If I understood correctly and you need to "put some value into CELL when worksheet with CELL on it is opened" then try to insert following code into ThisWorkbook module:

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
    If Sh.Name = "%%SheetWithCELL%%" Then
        Sh.Range("CELL").Value = "%%NeededValue%%"
    End If
End Sub

Where

• %%SheetWithCELL%% - Name of sheet where CELL is located;

• %%NeededValue%% - Value, which you need to insert into CELL.

PS Code assumes that "CELL" is the actual name of some cell (named range)
