Grabbing Data From Second Combo Box Column

[Guest]

Hello,
Can one of you masters show me the syntax for grabbing the data out of the
second column of my two-column combo box?

My combo box is called cmbxCustomerSelection and the
cmbxCustomerSelection.text property returns the first column's data.
But how can I access the second column's data?

Thanks,
DBAL.

I put a combobox in a userform and added a couple of commandbuttons. This is
the code I used:

Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
With Me.ComboBox1
If .ListIndex > -1 Then
MsgBox (.List(.ListIndex, 1))
End If
End With
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
With Me.ComboBox1
.ColumnCount = 2
.RowSource _
= Worksheets("sheet1").Range("a1:B10").Address(external:=True)
End With
End Sub

And it seemed to work ok for me.

Hi,

You are not specific about the data type in use however you can use the
following function is Excel

1. = VLOOKUP(valuto_to_be_looked_up,Dataare(could be a name or referance
like B3:F8,columan number)
= lookup
= hlookup


Foe more details you can use MS Office assistance

So would it be something like this??:
Sheet1.cmbxCustomerSelection.List(ListIndex, 1)

By the way, both colums are characters. The first column is the company
name and the second column is the customer number. Also, I need to keep the
..text property to column 1, but just be able to get the data out of column2.

Thanks everyone!

Just wanted to say thanks... I got it working. This was the answer:
Sheet1.cmbxCustomerSelection.List(Sheet1.cmbxCustomerSelection.ListIndex, 1)

I didn't realize it was a combobox on the worksheet.

You could save a little typing:

with Sheet1.cmbxCustomerSelection
msgbox .List(.ListIndex, 1)
end with

I think it makes it easier to read, too.
