Transfering Data from ListBox to Worksheet

[Guest]

I have created a UserForm with a ListBox. If the user clicks on the macro
button “Add to List†the ListBox is opened with all of the options, and now
you can simply click on the item(s) you want to add to the worksheet sheet in
column B, starting at B8. I have it all set up to the point of transferring
the data (or item(s) selected) to the worksheet. i.e The ListBox of "item
options" comes up perfectly, I can select (highlight) the items I want to add
to the list on the worksheet… but I don’t know how to transfer the selected
(highlighted) items to the worksheet in the next open cell, starting with B8
by clicking on the OK command button.

Any help with the code needed for the OK button to transfer the data would
be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Thanks to Dick Kusleika for the previous suggestions, but neither
solved my problem.

Option Explicit

Sub TransferToSheet()
Dim i&, n&, vaItems As Variant

With Me.ListBox1
ReDim vaItems(1 To .ListCount)

For i = 0 To .ListCount - 1
If .Selected(i) Then
n = n + 1
vaItems(n) = .List(i)
End If
Next
End With

'remove the unused items from the array
ReDim Preserve vaItems(1 To n)
'if we're going to store this in a "vertical" range,
'we must use transpose
Range("a1").Resize(n, 1) = Application.Transpose(vaItems)

End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Click()
TransferToSheet
End Sub


Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
add some dummy data
Me.ListBox1.MultiSelect = fmMultiSelectExtended
Dim i&
For i = 0 To 99
Me.ListBox1.AddItem "item " & Format(i, "00")
Next

End Sub

Don't start a new thread, reply to my message and tell me WHY it doesn't
work. At the risk of being boastful, I'm quite sure that my answer was
adequate based on the information you provided.

Thanks a lot to Dick and keepITcool for your help. As you can see I struggle with VBA but this one is ridiculous. I am still not getting anywhere other than creating the UserForm named Food List with the ListBox (ListBox1) and two CommandButtons (OKButton) and (CancelButton). The data in the FoodList is created by using a named range in the “ListBox – RowSourceâ€

With a Macro Button “Add Item(s)†(code - FoodList.Show) on the worksheet it
brings up the list and I can highlight the item(s) I want to add. With the
Cancel Button (code - Unload FoodList) it closes the UserForm.

But I can’t get my OK button to transfer the selected items to the worksheet
in column B.

With Dicks suggestion I put the code in the “Private Sub OKButton_Click()â€
and nothing happens. Also it looks like the code is finding the next open
cell going up column B. If so this will not work because B45 has text. The
open cells to transfer data to, are B10..B44. As for the link, there are two
errors in the code. One in the sTitle line and the other in the If line and I
can’t see the error.

With keepITcool’s suggestion I develop the macro/routine “TransferToSheetâ€
and add the two Private sub’s “Private Sub UserForm_Click()†and “Private
Sub UserForm_Initialize()†and add two items with;

With ListBox1
.AddItem “OJâ€
.AddItem “Beerâ€
End With

Now when I click on my “Add Item(s)†button it stops with “Permission
deniedâ€. Also I do not understand “Initialize()†at all, and seems like I
would have to add items to the routine every time a wanted to add something,
rather than just using the range in “RowSource.??

So I am still stuck. Any additional help will be truly appreciated.

Again thanks for you help, patience, and expertise.

P.S. Dick, I am sure you know how to make this work, I am the one that
can’t. As for using the thread, this is one of my first times on the new
board and using the old board, if you posted a thread it never seemed to get
read. Hopefully this will find its way to you and keepITcool.

I created a userform with a listbox (ListBox1) and a commandbutton
(OKButton). Here is the click event for the commandbutton

Private Sub OKButton_Click()

If Me.ListBox1.ListIndex > -1 Then
Sheet1.Range("B44").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value _
= Me.ListBox1.Value
End If

End Sub

If nothing happened when with the last bit of code I gave you, then it's
likely that your commandbutton is not named OKButton. With the userform
open, double click on the commandbutton and the VBE with put the Sub and End
Sub lines in there for you. Something should have happened even if it was
wrong.

You can't use the AddItem method and the RowSource property. It's one or
the other. That's why you got errors from KIC's code.

Make sure your controls are named the same as mine (or change the code to
reflect your names) and this code should work.

Post back if it doesn't or if you have further questions.

Dick –

Guess what? It still does not work!!! I can’t believe it. When I highlight
a couple of items and click on the OK button absolutely nothing happens
(except the button pushes in). I copied your code with copy and paste to my
OKCommandButton code. The following is my Private Sub OKButton_Click()
copied and pasted;

Private Sub OKButton_Click()

If Me.ListBox1.ListIndex > -1 Then
Sheet1.Range("B44").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value _
= Me.ListBox1.Value
End If

End Sub

As you can see my CommandButton is named OKButton and is is assigned to the
OK Button on the UserForm. My worksheet is named Sheet1.

Is it possible that I need to change some of the properties for the OK
commandbutton?

Any other ideas?

Again, thanks for your help.

P.S. Can I e-mail it to you to take a look at. Its very simple and straight
forward.

I think Dick missed the fact that you wanted to choose multiple items from that
listbox.

And I bet you either set the .rowsource for that listbox (manually when
designing the form) or via code:

Me.ListBox1.RowSource _
= Worksheets("sheet1").Range("a1:a10").Address(external:=True)

For testing purposes, add this line right above your code:

with me.listbox1
.RowSource = ""
'then your code
.additem "beer"
.additem "chips"
end with

Then test it with KeepItCool's suggestion for dumping all the selected items.

ps.

Your posts are difficult to read with those funny characters in them. Are you
composing in MSWord, then copying to the web page.

If yes, you may want to turn off some of the autocorrections within word --
smart quotes really makes it difficult to read/test your code.

Thanks for the response. First of all, you are correct on using Word and
copying it to the web page. Sorry about how bad it turned out. I have
turned off the smart Quotes and hope this will be better. Secondly, I did
set the RowSource when I designed the UserForm using the ListBox properties.

What I did is created a list on Sheet2 and named the range FoodList and then
simply put FoodList in ListBox1’s RowSource. Very simple and easy to change
as the list changes. I would really prefer not to have to go into the code
and have to .additem for 100’s of items and then go back in and change it
each time I make a change to my list. With the way I am doing it now, all I
have to do is name the range for the initial list and when I make changes, is
resize the range. Hopefully I can continue with this strategy.

But for the last two days I have been stuck trying to get highlighted items
( and again you are correct that it is multiple items most of the time) from
the ListBox to the worksheet.

This really seems all to simple. Here is what I have done and where I am
stuck at and need help with code.

1 open new workbook
2 on sheet1 enter 1 to 25 in A1:a25
3 name range sheet1!a1:a25 – FoodList
4 on sheet2 create a macro Button1 and add the code “Userform1.Showâ€
5 create UserForm1 with ListBox1
6 – in ListBox1 properties enter FoodList in RowSource and change
MultiSelect to 1

Now click on Button1 and boom you have a nice ListBox with items 1 through
25 and you can highlight all you want.

Now how do I get the highlighted items to fill in the next empty cells on
sheet2 B5..B44 using a CommandButton on UserForm1?

When I use Dick’s last code, in a new workbook, it still does not do
anything when I click the OK CommandButton

Thanks a lot to all, for all of the help and time.

Dick –

What is your e-mail address? If you want you can e-mail it to me at
ronbowman32@aol.
Its 10:30 CT. I will be back in about two hours and will e-mail it then if
I have an address.

Thanks

 

[Dave Peterson]

Dick's address is in the header:

"Dick Kusleika" <[email protected]>

ps. When I turned off smart quotes in MSWord, it fixed the apostrophe problem,
too.

Your apostrophes still look funny.

Well, Dave was right. I thought the Value property of the Listbox would
give you an error in a mulitselect listbox, but it's just Null.

First, Sheet1 is the CodeName of the sheet, not the name. Sheet1's name is
RESULTS. Sheet2's name is "Sheet1" Look at the Project Explorer (Cntl+R)
to see how that works.

Here's the code that you need

Private Sub OKButton_Click()

Dim i As Long

For i = 0 To Me.ListBox1.ListCount - 1
If Me.ListBox1.Selected(i) Then
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B43").End(xlUp) _
.Offset(1, 0).Value = Me.ListBox1.List(i)
End If
Next i

Unload Me

End Sub

That looks like a very useful spreadsheet you're building.

Dick -

I just got your last response. I was looking for an e-mail reply and just
came back here and found you last response.

It WORKS PERFECT!!!

Thanks a lot for your help, time, patiance and expertise.

As for the sheet name, I named it sheet1 as to not make it more confusing by
changing names through this discussion.

P.S. Thanks a lot to Dave P. also
