I would like to filter a Listbox created from a list of values stored in a worksheet depending on text written in a textbox contained in the same userform.
My Listbox has 4 or 5 columns (depending on OptionField selection) and I would like to search all the columns for the text written.
Example: I write "aaa" in TextField and the Listbox should return a list based on all the lines whose column 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 contain "aaa".
Below my code to refresh the list on OptionField selection (this code does not produce any error, it is just to show how I create my list):
Sub RefreshList()
Dim selcell, firstcell As String
Dim k, i As Integer
Dim r as long
i = 0
k = 0
' reads parameters from hidden worksheet
If Me.new_schl = True Then
firstcell = Cells(3, 4).Address
selcell = firstcell
Do Until IsEmpty(Range("" & selcell & "")) And i = 2
If IsEmpty(Range("" & selcell & "")) Then i = i + 1
k = k + 1
selcell = Cells(1 + k, 7).Address(0, 0)
Loop
k = k - 1
selcell = Cells(1 + k, 7).Address(0, 0)
With Me.ListBox1
.ColumnCount = 4
.ColumnWidths = "50; 80; 160; 40"
.RowSource = ""
Set MyData = Range("" & firstcell & ":" & selcell & "")
.List = MyData.Cells.Value
For r = .ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
If .List(r, 3) = "" Or .List(r, 3) = "0" Then
.RemoveItem r
End If
Next r
End With
Else
firstcell = Cells(3, 11).Address
selcell = firstcell
Do Until IsEmpty(Range("" & selcell & "")) And i = 11
If IsEmpty(Range("" & selcell & "")) Then i = i + 1
k = k + 1
selcell = Cells(1 + k, 15).Address(0, 0)
Loop
k = k - 1
selcell = Cells(1 + k, 15).Address(0, 0)
With Me.ListBox1
.ColumnCount = 5
.ColumnWidths = "40; 40; 160; 40; 40"
.RowSource = ""
Set MyData = Range("" & firstcell & ":" & selcell & "")
.List = MyData.Cells.Value
For r = .ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
If .List(r, 3) = "" Or .List(r, 3) = "0" Then
.RemoveItem r
End If
Next r
End With
End If
End Sub

I know, the answer is couple of years old...
But I thought I'd share solution that works the best for me, because the filter is blazing fast even when there are thousands of items in the list. It is not without a "catch", though: it uses a Dictionary object
Option Explicit
Dim myDictionary As Scripting.Dictionary
Private Sub fillListbox()
Dim iii As Integer
Set myDictionary = New Scripting.Dictionary
' this, here, is just a "draft" of a possible loop
' for filling in the dictionary
For iii = 1 To RANGE_END
If Not myDictionary.Exists(UNIQUE_VALUE) Then
myDictionary.Add INDEX, VALUE
End If
Next
myListbox.List = myDictionary .Items
End Sub
Private Sub textboxSearch_Change()
Dim Keys As Variant
Keys = myDictionary .Items
myListbox.List = Filter(Keys, textboxSearch.Text, True, vbTextCompare)
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Call fillListbox
End Sub

Finally I could come out with something!
Sub Filter_Change()
Dim i As Long
Dim Str As String
Str = Me.Filter.Text
Me.RefreshList
If Not Str = "" Then
With Me.ListBox1
For i = .ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
If InStr(1, LCase(.List(i, 0)), LCase(Str)) = 0 And InStr(1, LCase(.List(i, 1)), LCase(Str)) = 0 And _
InStr(1, LCase(.List(i, 2)), LCase(Str)) = 0 And InStr(1, LCase(.List(i, 3)), LCase(Str)) = 0 Then
.RemoveItem i
End If
Next i
End With
End If
End Sub
