VBA Performance Query

[avadhutd2]

Hi,

I have a query about performance.

Let me give some background first.
I have a listbox that have 2 columns. First column is having "Name" and another is "Data Type".

I am having another listbox where I can transfer items from LISTBOX 1 to LISTBOX 2.

I am forming a SQL query based on selections available in LISTBOX 2.
That is....if user selects 3 items ...A, B & C then I will be having a query as -
SELECT A, B, C from DBNAME

My query is as follows:

If I have to format the entire column for the selected item in LISTBOX 2 in mm-dd-yyyy format, if that selected item if of data type as "DATE".
How can get it done?

Also, if I get to know that the selected item is a DATE then I may have to do coding somewhat as...

If UserForm2.ListBox2.List(1, 1) = "DATE" Then
Sheet1.Cells(2,2).select
ActiveCell.Columns.EntireColumn.Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "mm-dd-yyyy"
End If

I have seen that doing selection & later on working on selection causes performnce slow down.

Can any one guide me to get this requirement implemented??

The select here is almost inconsequentail, but still unnecessary

If UserForm2.ListBox2.List(1, 1) = "DATE" Then
Sheet1.Columns(2).NumberFormat = "mm-dd-yyyy"
End If

Hi xld ... thanks for the reply.

I tried the way above but not able to access the value in column 2 of the ListBox2.

Hence I had raised another query "Regarding getting values for Multi Column LISTBOX " today with a sample sheet attached.

It would be great if you could get me some guidance.

That should work, but maybe it should be

[vba]

If UserForm2.ListBox2.List(0, 1) = "DATE" Then
Sheet1.Columns(2).NumberFormat = "mm-dd-yyyy"
End If
