Hello all,

I'm trying to see if it's possible to create a list box where I can select
multiple values. For example, if a create a list box with the values, "ant",
"dog", and "cat". Is it possible for me to give the user the option to
choose, "ant" and "cat"?

Thanks in advance.

Hello.
Use the Multiselect property of the listbox.
To retrieve the selected items, use (case of a worksheet listbox :

With Sheet1.ListBox1
For i = 0 To .ListCount - 1
If .Selected(i) Then
'code
End If
Next i
End With

Hi

Your answer seems the best way to do it but ive not used if statements in
Excel before so require abit of guidance.

So how and where would I place the code.

Right now I have a excel file called -Document process
within the file I have two worksheets - 1.document , 2. Data.

I have placed in 2.data a column (A) called animals and populated that with
my animal options for my list.

In 1.Document I place a column (B) called animal choices.

How would I use the if statement to populate in 1.document cell (B2) with
multiple choices made.

Thanks in advance

Select sheet 1.document
click on menus : View, Toolbars, Controls toolbox. Click on listbox,
draw it on the sheet. Click on properties, change the multiselect
property to 1 or 2. find the "listfillrange" property and enter :
'2.Data'!A1:A10
where A1:A10 is your list of animals.
(if you expect to add or delete entries in the list, please tell it, i
shall modify this).
Add a command button. Change the Caption property to "OK" or whatever
you want.
Close the properties window and click on "view code".
Between "Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()" and "End Sub, paste the
following code :

'clear cell B2
[B2] = ""
'every element beginning with a dot refers to
'Sheets("1.document").ListBox1
With Sheets("1.document").ListBox1
'loops through the listbox element
For i = 0 To .ListCount - 1
'when selected
If .Selected(i) Then
[B2] = [B2] & .List(i) & " "
.Selected(i) = False
End If
Next i
End With

Your workbook should look like mine :

Explicitly list them. Just like a data validation list:

ant
dog
cat
ant and dog
ant and cat
dog and cat
ant and dog and cat
