Hi , a helpful user helped me once with this code
I need a dropdown that will list all worksheets in a multi-select listbox and selected sheets will have specific column copy pasted to a new sheet.
example: I have sheet A, B, C, and D. Listbox will have that Sheet listed,and whatever i select column F:F of each will be copied to a new sheet with 1 column space each.

heres what he gave me + whatever i added

VBA Code:
Private Sub CommandButton4_Click()

    Dim sheetsListBox As ListBox
    Dim copySheetsButton As Button
    Dim ws As Worksheet   
   
    With ActiveSheet
        Set sheetsListBox = Nothing
        On Error Resume Next
        Set sheetsListBox = .ListBoxes("List Sheets")
        On Error GoTo 0
        If sheetsListBox Is Nothing Then Set sheetsListBox = .ListBoxes.Add(.Range("K2").Left, .Range("K2").Top, 160, 84)
       
        Set copySheetsButton = Nothing
        On Error Resume Next
        Set copySheetsButton = .Buttons("Copy Column")
        On Error GoTo 0
        If copySheetsButton Is Nothing Then Set copySheetsButton = .Buttons.Add(sheetsListBox.Left, sheetsListBox.Top + sheetsListBox.Height + 5, 140, 60)
    End With

    With sheetsListBox
        .Name = "List Sheets"
        .RemoveAllItems
        .Top = 15
        .Width = 165
        .Left = 720
        .MultiSelect = xlSimple
        For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
            .AddItem ws.Name
        Next
    End With
   
    With copySheetsButton
        .Name = "Copy Column"
        .Top = sheetsListBox.Top + sheetsListBox.Height + 5
        .Width = 165
        .Left = 720
        .Caption = "Generate Block File"
        .OnAction = "Copy_Column_From_Selected_Sheets"
    End With          
       
End Sub


Public Sub Copy_Column_From_Selected_Sheets()

    Dim currentSheet As Worksheet
    Dim sheetsListBox As ListBox
    Dim copySheetsButton As Button
    Dim i As Long, numSelectedSheets As Long, colNumber As Long
    Dim NewWs As Worksheet
    Dim NewWsName As String
    Dim SavePath As String
    Dim fdObj As Object
                  
   
    Set currentSheet = ActiveSheet
    Set sheetsListBox = ActiveSheet.ListBoxes("List Sheets")
    Set copySheetsButton = ActiveSheet.Buttons("Copy Column")
   
    With sheetsListBox
        numSelectedSheets = 0
        For i = 1 To .ListCount
            If .Selected(i) Then numSelectedSheets = numSelectedSheets + 1
        Next
          
          
    If numSelectedSheets = 0 Then
    MsgBox "no sheet(s) selected", vbCritical
    Exit Sub
    Else
    End If
   
    NewWsName = InputBox("Input PROJECT File Name" & vbNewLine & "Files are saved on:" & vbNewLine & " :desktop\Excel Exports ", "Exports")
    If NewWsName = "" Then
    MsgBox "no Project file name entered", vbCritical
    Exit Sub
    Else
    End If
   
   
        If numSelectedSheets > 0 Then
            Set NewWs = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add(Before:=Worksheets(1))
            NewWs.Name = NewWsName
            colNumber = 6
            For i = 1 To .ListCount
                If .Selected(i) Then
                    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(.List(i)).Columns("F:F").Copy
                    NewWs.Cells(1, colNumber).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
                    NewWs.Cells(1, colNumber).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
                    colNumber = colNumber + 2
                    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(.List(i)).Columns("A:D").Copy
                    NewWs.Cells(1, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
                    NewWs.Cells(1, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
                    NewWs.Cells(6, colNumber - 2).FormulaR1C1 = .List(i) & " QTY"
                   
                End If
            Next
        Else
            MsgBox "No sheet(s) selected", vbCritical
        End If
    End With
   
    sheetsListBox.Delete
    copySheetsButton.Delete
   
   
   SavePath = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").specialfolders("Desktop")
   
   
   
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set fdObj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   
     If fdObj.FolderExists(SavePath & "\Excel Exports") Then
       
    Else

        fdObj.CreateFolder (SavePath & "\Excel Exports")
    End If
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
   
   
    Sheets(NewWsName).Select
    Sheets(NewWsName).Move
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
     ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=SavePath & "\Excel Exports\" & NewWsName & ".xlsx", _
        FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
        ActiveWorkbook.Saved = True
        Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    
    
     Workbooks(NewWsName & ".XLSx").Close SaveChanges:=False
       
End Sub

now I have set-up a userform with a listbox and button already, i'll need specific sheets starting with key letters to only show those matching char.
heres my userform with a listbox set-up already and button

VBA Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
  Dim i As Long
             
    For i = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count
        If Sheets(i).Name Like "CP*" Then
       
        ListBox1.AddItem ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(i).Name
       
        Else
               
    End If
   
    Next   
   
    End Sub

now I am trying to replicate/ transfer the code to the button in my userform. the problem is I cant figure that out as Im not familiar with the original code given to me.
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Still trying to figure this out,

here is a sample file for this problem Sample Workbook

the Command Button 6 is the one im trying to fix , the other button "generate block file" is the working code for this
The Button6 is linked to a userform.
The other button's code is linked to module2

Im trying to replicate the "generate" button code to work with userform using button6,
