I have an excel userform that contains a listbox and command button. I want to be able to select multiple lines in the listbox and have them delete from a database range upon use of the command button.
The named range runs through a dictionary with the key as the range cell values and the item as the cell addresses. The listbox selection is popped through the dictionary to return the cell location to delete.
Currently when I make my selection the bottom most selection is the only entry deleted. The For Next loop should be starting at the listbox.count-1 and working down to 0. However, it does not seem to loop fully and there are no error messages. Thoughts?
Private Sub RemoveAnalyst()
' Select Tools->References from the Visual Basic menu.
' Check box beside "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" in the list.
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim i As Long
Dim Location As String
Dim MsgDelete As String
Dim xCount As Integer
Dim xFound As Integer
Dim Cell As Range
Dim dict As Scripting.Dictionary
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Lists")
'Build Dictionary
Set dict = New Scripting.Dictionary
dict.CompareMode = vbTextCompare 'Capitalization does not apply to dictionary
For Each Cell In Range("Name").Cells 'Add named range to dictionary
With Cell
dict(Cell.Value) = Cell.Address(RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False) 'Key = Cell value (ie. Analyst name), Item = Cell address (ie. A2)
End With
Next Cell
Set xCount = RemoveAnalystLB.ListCount - 1
For i = xCount To 0 Step -1 'Reverse For Loop
If RemoveAnalystLB.Selected(i) Then
With ws
Location = dict(RemoveAnalystLB.List(i)) 'Find Cell location via dictionary function
xFound = xFound + 1
MsgDelete = MsgDelete & vbCrLf & RemoveAnalystLB.List(i)
.Range(Location).Delete Shift:=xlUp 'Delete cell at specified location
End With
End If
Next i
Set dict = Nothing
Unload Remove_Analyst_Form 'Close out userform
If xFound <> 0 Then MsgBox ("Analyst(s):" & MsgDelete & vbCrLf & "have been deleted from the database.") 'Msg names have been deleted
End Sub
