I'm using code I received lately and now trying to restrict it to only worksheets ending in LISTS for a new listbox on a new userform.

The original code is

VBA Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()



Dim i As Integer, sht As String

For i = 0 To ListBox1.ListCount - 1

If ListBox1.Selected(i) = True Then

sht = ListBox1.List(i)



End If

Next i

Sheets(sht).Visible = True

ShGE04.Visible = False

Sheets(sht).Activate

End

End Sub



Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()

Unload Go_To_WS

End Sub





Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

''''NoSparks @ Mr Excel 9.6.21



Dim sh As Worksheet, shtnames As String



For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets

If sh.Name <> ActiveSheet.Name Then

shtnames = shtnames & "|" & sh.Name

End If

Next sh



ListBox1.List = Split(Mid(shtnames, 2), "|")

End Sub



My new NONWORKING code is



VBA Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()



Dim i As Integer, sht As String

For i = 0 To ListBox1.ListCount - 1

If ListBox1.Selected(i) = True Then

sht = ListBox1.List(i)



End If

Next i

Sheets(sht).Visible = True

ShGE04.Visible = False

Sheets(sht).Activate

End

End Sub



Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()

Unload Edit_Lists_UF

End Sub



Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()



Dim sh As Worksheet, shtnames As String

Dim ws As Worksheet

For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets

If ws.Name Like "*.lists" Then

shtnames = ws.Name

End If

Next sh



End Sub



I'm attempting to have a VBA listbox that shows only worksheets that end in .LISTS

I've checked other forums searches (along with yours) and the web about listboxs but they seem to involve results from other sources. So simple a task and I'm lost.

After many fail attempts, I'm asking for help again. THANKS
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Based off the first code example:

VBA Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Dim sh As Worksheet, shtnames As String
'
    For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        If Right(sh.Name, 5) = "LISTS" Then
            shtnames = shtnames & "|" & sh.Name
        End If
    Next sh
'
    ListBox1.List = Split(Mid(shtnames, 2), "|")
End Sub

You will get a list of all worksheet names that end in 'LISTS'. Is that not what you wanted?

Put the following code into a separate module and then run it.

VBA Code:
Sub SheetNameTest()
    Dim sh As Worksheet, shtnames As String
'
    For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        If Right(sh.Name, 5) = "LISTS" Then
            shtnames = shtnames & "|" & sh.Name
        End If
    Next sh
'
Debug.Print shtnames
End Sub

What does the debug 'Immediate' window show?

Do you have the 'immediate window' displayed in the VB editor? Ctrl-G displays the 'immediate window' in the Alt-F11 VB editor

what is a sheetname that you have that hast LISTS in the name?

Something is not right because you said it was displaying all sheet names, now you say it is showing none.
