Create Cascading ComboBoxes in a UserForm

The following code creates cascading comboboxes, where ComboBox2 is dependent on the value selected from ComboBox1. It is assumed that you've already created a UserForm that contains two ComboBoxes.

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()

    Me.ComboBox2.Clear

    Select Case Me.ComboBox1.Value
        Case "A"
            With Me.ComboBox2
                .AddItem "Adam"
                .AddItem "Allen"
                .AddItem "Andy"
            End With
        Case "B"
            With Me.ComboBox2
                .AddItem "Barb"
                .AddItem "Bill"
                .AddItem "Bob"
            End With
        Case "C"
            With Me.ComboBox2
                .AddItem "Carl"
                .AddItem "Charles"
                .AddItem "Chris"
                .AddItem "Cindy"
            End With
    End Select
    
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

    With Me.ComboBox1
        .AddItem "A"
        .AddItem "B"
        .AddItem "C"
    End With
    
End Sub
