Key Highlights:
Introduction: The video introduces the combo box form control, which is ideal for creating Excel reports with user-selectable options.
Insert Combo Box: To add a combo box, go to the Developer tab, click on "Insert," and select the Combo Box. Draw the combo box anywhere on your Excel sheet.
Format Control: Right-click the combo box, go to "Format Control," and configure essential options in the Control tab. Set the "Input Range" to the list of options users can choose from and select the "Cell Link" where the selected option will be stored.
Note on Cell Link: The combo box stores the position of the selected option, not the text itself. To display the selected text, use a formula.
Adjust Dropdown Lines: You can specify the number of dropdown lines visible in the combo box.
Additional Properties: Customize properties like moving and sizing with cells or printing the object as needed.
Using Index Formula: To display the selected month text, use the INDEX formula with the position returned by the combo box.
Adding More Months: If you have a fixed set of options, you can specify the number of dropdown lines in the combo box properties.
Displaying in a Text Box: Insert a shape, add a text box, and use cell references to display the selected month both in the cell and in the text box.
Formatting: Customize the formatting of the text box and cell to match your report's style.
