combo box value position instead of text?

[david.j.winfield]

Is there a way to get a combobox object to give the position of the
item selected instead of the text. If I use combobox.value I just get
the text selected.

I have populated a combo box from a range of cells, and I would like
to know the cell that the text came from not the text itself.

Thanks,
David

I don't know of a built in function to do that. You could probably write
some code to do it, since you know the range the combobox list comes from.
It is just a matter of tying the list index to the range array.

Thanks, that is what I figured. I know how to create the VBA to do
what I want; I just thought that it would have been an obvious built
in feature that I was over looking.

I can get a range value using find for example:
Sheets("view
settings").Range("A8:A28").Find(reports_ComboBox.Object.Value).Address

Is there some command to convert a range value such as $A$11 to a
numerical rows/columns number?

range("$A$11).column and range("$A$11).row
