The listbox is on a worksheet and created from the control toolbox toolbar. I
was hoping that when I highlight an entry from the list box, or highlight
multiple entries, that the code would automatically get run and the data
would populate in cells M1,M2,M3 etc...
should i still try what you suggested or is there a different means?
thanks

Where is your listbox?

Did you use use a listbox from the control toolbox toolbar if you put the
listbox on the worksheet?

How does the code get run--maybe a button from the control toolbox toolbar
that's adjacent to that listbox? (Both from the control toolbox toolbar.)

I put a listbox on Sheet1 and a commandbutton right next to it.

I assigned the listfillrange to Sheet2!a1:a15

I double clicked on that commandbutton and pasted this code:

Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
j = 0
me.range("m:m").clearcontents
With Me.ListBox1
For i = 0 To .ListCount - 1
If .Selected(i) Then
j = j + 1
Me.Range("M" & j).Value = .List(i)
End If
Next i
End With
End Sub

You had a typo in this line:
With.Me.ListBox1
(no dot before the Me.listbox portion)

And a typo in this portion:
me.range("A" & j).Value = .List(i)
You wanted column M:
me.range("M" & j).Value = .List(i)

You may even want to clear out column M to make sure that there's nothing left
over from before.

The Me refers to the thing that owns the code. In this case, it refers to the
worksheet with the listbox and commandbutton.

I have created a list box using the multi select function. What I would like
to do is be able to highlight multiple items(not in any particular order) in
the list box and then return their selection to cells M1, M2, M3 and so on.

I tried writing in a macro code to do this but it didn't seem to help. I
got the code from a previous posting but kep getting an error message about
the ME function:
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
With.Me.ListBox1
For i= 0 To .List Count -1
If.Selected(i) Then
j=j + 1
me.range("A" & j).Value = .List(i)
End If
Next i
end With
End Sub

Does anyone out there have any suggestions for someone new to excel? Thank
you!
