Problem with VLookup in VBA

  Asked By: Oscar    Date: Feb 01    Category: MS Office    Views: 1048
  

'm having an issue using worksheetfuntion.vlookup, i'm sure it just
because i'm missing something so obvious that I can't see it!

I have a multipage control that has a few option buttons on it's
first page, depending on which one is selected by the user, the
contents of a combobox on the second page is altered using the
following code:

If opt1 = True Then cbo1.RowSource = "FirstList"
If opt2 = True Then cbo1.RowSource = "SecondList"
etc etc etc

Where 'FirstList' corresponds to a three-column wide named range on
the worksheet. What i'd then like to do is use vlookup to assign
values from this named range to a number of variables. However, the
code i've come up with keeps failing with a "Run-time Error 1004:
Unable to get the VLookup function of the WorksheetFunction class".
This code causing this is:

myVar3 = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(cbo1.value, Range(cbo1.RowSource),
3, False)


What is it that i'm missing???

You are just assigning the string "FirstList" as the RowSource. You need to
assign the address of the FirstList named range, as follows:

Sub TEST()
Dim myvar As String
UserForm1.ComboBox1.RowSource = Range("FirstList").Address
myvar$ = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup("CC", _
Range(UserForm1.ComboBox1.RowSource), 3, False)
MsgBox myvar$
End Sub

I also recommend including the userform Name as a qualifier when you refer to
the
combobox (you might get an "Object required" error otherwise).

That doesn't seem to fixthings, I still get the "Unable to get the
VLookup function of the WorksheetFunction class". I get the same
error when i use a new form with a single combobox and use the code
you included unmodified. Any other ideas?

That's odd... I tested it in Excel 2003 & Excel 2002 and it works perfectly.
Obviously, "CC" was one of the values in the first column of my lookup range.

Maybe you are missing  a required reference to a library (I don't know which
one it would be). I will keep trying to figure out why you are having this
problem.
