Hi,

I'm running Excel 2021.

I have a created a "List Box" (from Developer/Insert/Form Controls/List Box) on Sheet1.
It is filled with a list of values from Sheet2 :

Every time I click on an item in this List Box, I want my current cell (I mean the active one where my cursor is in the sheet) to be filled in with the List Box clicked item and then, move down (the new active cell in Sheet1 becomes the next one below, ready to be filled in with a new List Box clicked item).

I also want this List box to remain at the same place even if I scroll Sheet1's window bars. (except I decide to move it (left click on it + right click to move it) )

How can I do this?

Thanks for your help.
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Every time I click on an item in this List Box, I want my current cell (I mean the active one where my cursor is in the sheet) to be filled in with the List Box clicked item and then, move down (the new active cell in Sheet1 becomes the next one below, ready to be filled in with a new List Box clicked item).
For that part assign the following macro to your List Box (right-click on it, select Assign Macro, select MyListbox_Click and click OK.

Note: In this line Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes("List Box") of the macro fit to the name of your List Box
Put the following code in a module:
VBA Code:
Sub MyListbox_Click()
  Dim shp As Shape
  Dim i As Long
 
  Set shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes("List Box")    'fit to the name of your listbox
  With shp.OLEFormat.Object
    For i = 1 To .ListCount
      If .Selected(i) Then
        ActiveCell.Value = .List(i)
        ActiveCell.Offset(1).Select
        Exit For
      End If
    Next
  End With
End Sub

I also want this List box to remain at the same place even if I scroll Sheet1's window bars. (except I decide to move it (left click on it + right click to move it) )
For that part, look for how to float the shape on the sheet
For example:
