Excel ComboBox, how to populate text data from 2 columns?

Question

I want to populate one ComboBox object with data from another sheet. The data consists of First and Last name separated on two columns: A and B.

Excel file contains two sheets: Data and Test.

The combobox object is located at „Test“ sheet.

On the properties of ComboBox at ListFillRange i have put the following:

Data:A2:B50

I expect to see both first names and last names. However, what i can see on the combo box is only first names. Am i doing something wrong here? Thank you.

Answer 1

Use a helper column and combine the First and Last name there.

You can put it where you want and/or hide that helper column later.
