Re: Excel VBA UserForms in in Mac OS X try using the old dialog sheets with forms controls. Otherwise, ask in a mac office group - you might get a better answer. To add a list box in Excel 2010 and Excel 2007, click the Developer tab, click Insert in the Controls group, and then click List Box Form (Control) under Form Controls. To add a list box in Excel 2003 and in earlier versions of Excel, click the List Box button on the Forms toolbar.
The Course Booking Form is a simple form illustrating the principles of UserForm design and the associated VBA coding. It uses a selection of controls including text boxes, combo boxes, option buttons grouped in a frame, check boxes and command buttons.
When the user clicks the OK button their input is entered into the next available row on the worksheet. Description of excel form: There are two simple text boxes ( Name: and Phone:) into which the user can type free text, and two combo boxes ( Department and Course) that let the user to pick an item from the list. There are three option buttons ( Introduction, Intermediate and Advanced) grouped in a frame ( Level) so that the user can choose only one of the options. There are two check boxes ( Lunch Required and Vegetarian) that, because they are not grouped in a frame, can both be chosen if required. However, if the person making the booking does not want lunch we do not need to know whether or not they are vegetarian. So, the Vegetarian check box is greyed-out until required. There are three command buttons ( OK, Cancel and Clear Form) each of which performs a pre-defined function when clicked.
By Despite all the functions provided by Excel, you may need one that you just don’t see offered. Excel lets you create your own functions by using VBA programming code; your functions show up in the Insert Function dialog box.
Writing VBA code is not for everyone. But nonetheless, here is a short-and-sweet example.
If you can conquer this, you may want to find out more about programming VBA. Who knows — maybe one day you’ll be churning out sophisticated functions of your own! Make sure you are working in a macro-enabled workbook (one of the Excel file types).
Follow along to create custom functions. Writing your own function. Public Function Add(number1 As Double, number2 As Double) Add = number1 + number2 End Function. Save the function.
Macros and VBA programming can be saved only in a macro-enabled workbook. After you type the first line and press Enter, the last one appears automatically. This example function adds two numbers, and the word Public lists the function in the Insert Function dialog box. You may have to find the Excel workbook on the Windows taskbar because the Visual Basic Editor runs as a separate program. Or press Alt+ F11 to toggle back to the Workbook. Return to Excel.
Click the Insert Function button on the Formulas tab to display the Insert Function dialog box.
