It's been several years since I've written VBA, so pretty rusty. I copied this code from elsewhere and it does what I want it to do except I want to add one thing.

I have a Userform with a macro that brings up a Listbox with 5 rows and 3 columns. There is a base product part number in cell C31 on the spreadsheet. The listbox displays the options that can be added to the part number. Column one in my source range is the suffix option code, column two is a description, and column three is the price adder. I've inserted a command button on the spreadsheet called "Select Options" that brings up the listbox. After the options are selected, the box closes (after they press the Select Options button again) and the option codes they selected are written to cell C23 ("ListBoxOutput") - each code is separated by "-". I then have a formula in cell C31 that adds the option codes to the base part number in cell C31. So for example, the base part number may be TDB-7001D, but after selecting their options, the final part number may be TDB-7001D-A-C-X.

I have a base price in cell D31. As the user adds the options, I want their price adders (column 3 in the source range) to be added to the value already in D31. The current macro code looks like:

VBA Code:
Sub Rectangle1_Click()

Dim xSelShp As Shape, xSelLst As Variant, I, J As Integer
Dim xV As String
Set xSelShp = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller)
Set xLstBox = ActiveSheet.ListBox1
If xLstBox.Visible = False Then
    xLstBox.Visible = True
    xSelShp.TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text = "Select Options"
    xStr = ""
    xStr = Range("ListBoxOutput").Value
     
    If xStr <> "" Then
         xArr = Split(xStr, "-")
    For I = xLstBox.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
        xV = xLstBox.List(I)
        For J = 0 To UBound(xArr)
            If xArr(J) = xV Then
              xLstBox.Selected(I) = True
              Exit For
            End If
        Next
    Next I
    End If
Else
    xLstBox.Visible = False
    xSelShp.TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text = "Select Options"
    For I = xLstBox.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
        If xLstBox.Selected(I) = True Then
        xSelLst = xLstBox.List(I) & "-" & xSelLst
        End If
    Next I
    If xSelLst <> "" Then
        Range("ListBoxOutput") = Mid(xSelLst, 1, Len(xSelLst) - 1)
    Else
        Range("ListBoxOutput") = ""
    End If
End If
End Sub

The Listbox looks like:

I tried to insert this line in yellow for adding the option price adders but it didn't work:

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Listbox with 5 rows and 3 columns means the last column index is 2 not 3, so it should be:
VBA Code:
xLstBox.List(I,2)

Thank you for the reply. That worked! I also had my rows and columns backwards, so I had to change it to:

Cells(31, 4).Value = Cells(31, 4).Value + xLstBox.List(I, 2)

The only thing now is that if I go back into the select options box and change the selections, it doesn't reset back to the base value plus the new option prices. It just keeps adding up the options to a higher and higher total.

You mean initially Cells(31, 4) already has value & you want to always use the initial value when you add it to the new option prices?

Well, you need to keep the initial value in module level variable, say "xNumber".

VBA Code:
Dim xNumber As Double 'this line must be at the top of userform code module

then in "Sub UserForm_Initialize"

VBA Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
xNumber = Cells(31, 4)
End Sub

then use it like this:
Cells(31, 4).Value = xNumber + xLstBox.List(I, 2)

Note:
Working with Userform, you should qualify the range with its sheet name, something like: sheets("Sheet1").Cells(31, 4).Value
in case the active sheet is not the intended sheet when you open the userform.

Sorry, but I'm still not getting it. It seems like it should be an easy solution but I just can't quite get there. The code now looks like this:

VBA Code:
Sub Rectangle1_Click()

Dim xSelShp As Shape, xSelLst As Variant, I, J As Integer
Dim xV As String
Dim xNumber As Double
Set xSelShp = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller)
Set xLstBox = ActiveSheet.ListBox1
xNumber = 101.18

If xLstBox.Visible = False Then
    xLstBox.Visible = True
    xSelShp.TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text = "Select Options"
    xStr = ""
    xStr = Range("ListBoxOutput").Value
     
    If xStr <> "" Then
         xArr = Split(xStr, "-")
    For I = xLstBox.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
        xV = xLstBox.List(I)
        For J = 0 To UBound(xArr)
            If xArr(J) = xV Then
              xLstBox.Selected(I) = True
              Exit For
            End If
        Next
    Next I
    End If
Else
    xLstBox.Visible = False
    xSelShp.TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text = "Select Options"
    For I = xLstBox.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
        If xLstBox.Selected(I) = True Then
        xSelLst = xLstBox.List(I) & "-" & xSelLst
        Cells(31, 4).Value = xNumber + xLstBox.List(I, 2)
        End If
    Next I
    If xSelLst <> "" Then
        Range("ListBoxOutput") = Mid(xSelLst, 1, Len(xSelLst) - 1)
    Else
        Range("ListBoxOutput") = ""
    End If
End If
End Sub

So I added "xNumber = 101.18" where 101.18 is the base price I am working off of. Then I added Cells(31, 4).Value = xNumber + xLstBox.List(I, 2) down below which works fine for adding the option prices to the base price value. So I can add the option prices, but how do I get it to subtract the option prices as they deselect their options?

I don't understand what you mean by "they deselect their options".
Can you explain what you're doing by using an example, step by step? I need to understand the process.

And could you upload a sample workbook to a free site such as dropbox.com or google drive & then share the link here?
It will make it easier to understand & to test and find a solution.

Having you look at the file would be great and I think would explain a lot. Much appreciated! Click on the Select Options button and choose some options. Then close the box and you will see the part number change in cell C31 and the price change in D31. Go back in the option box and deselect one or all of the options and choose different options. Do this a number of times and you will see that C31 with the part number changes correctly but the pricing doesn't. The total price in D31 should dynamically change whenever anyone makes a change to their option choices.

Hopefully the formatting looks OK. Looked good on the computer I created it on (Office 365) but then a little funny on a different computer (Office 2010).

Ok, I hope I understand it correctly.
I amended "Sub Rectangle1_Click". Try it:

VBA Code:
Sub Rectangle1_Click()

Dim xSelShp As Shape, xSelLst As Variant, I, J As Integer
Dim xV As String
Dim z As Double, xNumber As Double

Set xSelShp = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller)
Set xLstBox = ActiveSheet.ListBox1
xNumber = 101.18
If xLstBox.Visible = False Then
    xLstBox.Visible = True
    xSelShp.TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text = "Select Options"
    xStr = ""
    xStr = Range("ListBoxOutput").Value
     
    If xStr <> "" Then
         xArr = Split(xStr, "-")
    For I = xLstBox.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
        xV = xLstBox.List(I)
        For J = 0 To UBound(xArr)
            If xArr(J) = xV Then
              xLstBox.Selected(I) = True
              Exit For
            End If
        Next
    Next I
    End If
Else
    xLstBox.Visible = False
    xSelShp.TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text = "Select Options"
    z = 0
    For I = xLstBox.ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
        If xLstBox.Selected(I) = True Then
        xSelLst = xLstBox.List(I) & "-" & xSelLst
        z = z + xLstBox.List(I, 2)
        End If
    Next I
        Cells(31, 4).Value = xNumber + z
    If xSelLst <> "" Then
        Range("ListBoxOutput") = Mid(xSelLst, 1, Len(xSelLst) - 1)
    Else
        Range("ListBoxOutput") = ""
    End If
End If
End Sub
