Is it possible to extract a value from the listbox? I have a listbox that populates automatically from a table on an excel sheet. It has 7 columns and the number of rows varies in length. I was wondering if I select a row from the listbox is it possible to extrapolate the value that resides in the first column of that row and assign it to a variable?

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]apple
[/TD]
[TD]red
[/TD]
[TD]round
[/TD]
[TD]asdf
[/TD]
[TD]asdf

[TD]sdff

[TD]1234

Say the above table represents my listbox, I'd like to select the row with "1234" and have "apple" be assigned to a variable. Thanks in advance for any/all help, you're time is much appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
I have continued to dig around and found something that works for what I'm attempting, it is as follows:

Code:
lbl9.Caption = ListBox1.List(ListBox1.ListIndex, 0)

I used a label to display the result. The 0 (zero) at the end indicates which column you want to pull the data from within the selected row. It is zero based so if I wanted to display "1234" in the label I'd put the number 6 instead. I hope that someone else may find this information useful.
