What are the Advantages of working with Combo Box?
Choosing an item from a list in the Combo Box returns a number. The number then replaces the use of the Match formula to calculate the column number in the Vlookup formula  and replaces the use of the Match formula  to calculate the column number in the Index formula.
Working with the Combo Box
A list of the cell ranges in the sheet is attached to the Combo Box. After an item is selected from the list, the Combo Boxenters into the linked cell the ordinal number of the item that is selected on the list.


Example:
The screen shot displays a profit and loss statement as compared to the previous year. Changing the month in the Combo Box will automatically change the display of data according to the selected month.

Step 1: Define names
1.Enter the months list - January-December into the cells A1 to A12 in the new worksheet.
2.Select cells A!:A12, press Ctrl+F3, enter the text MonthsList into the Names In workbook box, and click OK.
3.Select Cell B1, press Ctrl+F3, enter the text MonthNumber into the Names in Workbook box, and click OK.


Step 2: Add a Combo Box to a worksheet
1. Select one of the toolbars, right-click, and select the Forms toolbar.
