Tag: read data into a listbox

What is the syntax to read a sheet into a listbox?

lastEntryRow = Sheets("<sheet name>").Cells(Sheets("<sheet name>").Rows.Count, "<column letter>").End(xlUp).Row 
For i = 2 To lastEntryRow 'adds each row to listbox
       lineDisplay = Sheets("<sheet name>").Cells(i, <column you want to show in listbox>).Value & ...etc 
       <listbox name>.AddItem lineDisplay
Next
#example - reads a list of food entries from a sheet
Private Sub loadListbox()
     lstFoods.Clear
     lastEntryRow = Sheets("Foods").Cells(Sheets("Foods").Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row 'how many foods are there?

     For i = 2 To lastEntryRow 'adds each food entry row into the listbox
        lineDisplay = Sheets("Foods").Cells(i, 1).Value & Chr(9) & Sheets("Foods").Cells(i, 2).Value
        lstFoods.AddItem lineDisplay 
     Next
End Sub
