Hi hope someone can help
I have a list of 27 macros in a spread sheet and would like them in a combo box or some type of drop down box.

Can anyone help
Thanks in advace
 
Are you looking for a handy way to trigger macros? If so, use Alt + F8. Or do you want users to only trigger specific macros from the sheet (i.e. are there more than 27?)
 
I tried something similar before. I'm assuming any one writing 27 macro's knows their stuff so this is a guideline

on one sheet I had a descriptive name for each function (call it Mac1..Mac27)
I created a named range of this (Mymacros)
And then I hid the sheet from prying eyes

Then on the main sheet
Column A uses a data validation lookup to Mymacros
Column C (and others) contain the input parameters (e.g. width height etc) (If you need input parameters)

Then I created a module with a single UDF RunMyMacro that calls application.evaluate(macro(parameters)) and returns either true/false/result

Finally on the main sheet Column B =RunMyMacro(A1&"(" & C1 & "," & D1&")")

So change the data validation dropbox and/or input parameters and away it goes.
Just take note a UDF can only return values to itself so the macro will fail updating elsewhere

That worked well. then I tried getting cleverer by adding an OnChange event instead of a UDF so I can change values anywhere. Need to be very careful of infinite loops and volatile functions.....
