How do I add multiple columns in ComboBox?

To show two columns in the combo box, open its property window, and change its ColumnCount setting to 2. When you double-click on a data validation cell, event code runs, that finds the list used in the data validation cell. Then, “Full” is added to that name, to find the list for the combo box.

The basic technique is same: to show multi-column structure (grid or listview etc. in drop down). Here is nice example on CodeProject which can get you started into it.
