Fill a ListBox with unique values from a worksheet
2000-02-05 Dialogs 0 289
The example macros below shows how you can fill a ListBox-control (and a ComboBox-control) in a UserForm with the unique values from worksheet range. Copy the code to the UserForm code module.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim MyUniqueList As Variant, i As Long
With Me.ListBox1
.Clear ' clear the listbox content
MyUniqueList = UniqueItemList(Range("A4:A100"), True)
For i = 1 To UBound(MyUniqueList)
.AddItem MyUniqueList(i)
Next i
.ListIndex = 0 ' select the first item
End With
End Sub
Private Function UniqueItemList(InputRange As Range, HorizontalList As Boolean) As Variant
Dim cl As Range, cUnique As New Collection, i As Long, uList() As Variant
Application.Volatile
On Error Resume Next
For Each cl In InputRange
If cl.Formula <> "" Then
cUnique.Add cl.Value, CStr(cl.Value)
End If
Next cl
UniqueItemList = ""
If cUnique.Count > 0 Then
ReDim uList(1 To cUnique.Count)
For i = 1 To cUnique.Count
uList(i) = cUnique(i)
Next i
UniqueItemList = uList
If Not HorizontalList Then
UniqueItemList = Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(UniqueItemList)
End If
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End Function
The function above can also be used as an array worksheet function for returning unique values (skip the 'private' part).
