How to select specific data from listbox?

How do I make it so when you select a certian option from a ListBox, text appears somewhere else? Excel 2003?

  • I have a short(ish) list of numbers in a listbox; how to i make it so that when you click on a number in the box, text appears somewhere else?

  • Answer:

    You have to have a formula in the cell that you want to have the text appear in the references the value chosen from the listbox. Right click in the listbox and in the Format Control, Control tab, for the Listbox, you select a cell to link to and that is where the choice will be put. If the choices were numbers from 1 or 2 then this kind of formula would work. I will use A2 for where the linked cell for the listbox is. =IF(A2=1,"YOU HAVE CHOSEN 1",IF(A2=2,"YOU HAVE CHOSEN 2")) etc.
