Hi

I'm having difficulty in populating cells from a ListBox.

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim dashboard As Worksheet, ws As Worksheet
Dim RowNum As Long, wbk As Workbook, RowNum1 As Long, ColNum As Long, counter As Integer

Set wbk = ThisWorkbook
Set dashboard = wbk.Sheets("Dashboard")
Set ws = wbk.Sheets("25-07-22")
RowNum = 7
RowNum1 = 31
ColNum = 4
counter = 0

With dashboard

ActionList.Clear
ActionList.Height = 100
ActionList.Width = 1000
ActionList.ColumnCount = 4
ActionList.ColumnWidths = "200;200;200;200"

Do Until ws.Cells(RowNum, 3).Value = ""
If InStr(1, ws.Cells(RowNum, 21).Value, "Yes", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
On Error GoTo next1

ActionList.AddItem ws.Cells(RowNum, 3).Text
dashboard.Cells(RowNum1, ColNum) = ActionList.List(counter, 0)
ActionList.List(ActionList.ListCount - 1, 1) = RowNum
ActionList.List(ActionList.ListCount - 1, 2) = RowNum1
ActionList.List(ActionList.ListCount - 1, 3) = "Test"

End If

next1:

RowNum = RowNum + 1
RowNum1 = RowNum1 + 1
counter = counter + 1

Loop

End With

End Sub

The code line in red seems to be the offender, I get Run-time error '381' Could not get the List property. Invalid property array index.

I know the solution is going to be glaringly obvious, but i'm having a senior and/or blonde moment.

Any help gladly appeciated

I'm having difficulty in populating cells from a ListBox.

RowNum = 7

With dashboard

ActionList.Clear
ActionList.Height = 100
ActionList.Width = 1000
ActionList.ColumnCount = 4
ActionList.ColumnWidths = "200;200;200;200"

Do Until ws.Cells(RowNum, 3).Value = ""
If InStr(1, ws.Cells(RowNum, 21).Value, "Yes", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
On Error GoTo next1

ActionList.AddItem ws.Cells(RowNum, 3).Text
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]dashboard.Cells(RowNum1, ColNum) = ActionList.List(counter, 0)[/COLOR]
ActionList.List(ActionList.ListCount - 1, 1) = RowNum
ActionList.List(ActionList.ListCount - 1, 2) = RowNum1
ActionList.List(ActionList.ListCount - 1, 3) = "Test"

End If

next1:

RowNum = RowNum + 1
RowNum1 = RowNum1 + 1
counter = counter + 1

Loop

End With

End Sub

If i change the line:

dashboard.Cells(RowNum1, ColNum) = ActionList.List(counter, 0)
to
dashboard.Cells(RowNum1, ColNum) = ActionList.List(0, 0)

That populates the column of cells, but with with the first listbox value multiple times, and blank cells i the column

You should only increment the counter variable if you add an item. Currently you do it at every iteration of the loop.

I'm also not sure why you use a mix of counter and ActionList.ListCount - 1

Thank you Rory

I couldn't see the forest for the trees

That made all the difference.
