Excel VBA populating a list box with values from selected sheet using loops
I have 2 listboxes in a userform. When the user clicks on an item (a worksheet name) in one of the boxes, the other list box should autopopulate with values in the D column of the specific worksheet they have selected. I also dont want any duplicate values to show up. How can i accomplish this by using loops?

Welcome to Stack Overflow! Unfortunately, we won't write code for you. I recommend you read about Loops, Ranges or Cells and Listbox Items in VBA. If you get stuck on a specific problem, please come back with a specific example (including code) and we'll be glad help. Good luck!

Well, a few things are going to have to happen here.
Since you failed to state the names of your listboxes, we are using the generic forms:
ListBox1is the list box with your sheet names
ListBox2is the list box to auto-populate from column D
First, you will need to ensure that listBox1 is initialized with your worksheet values. A sample of how you could do this is:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
'MUST BE PLACED IN USERFORM CODE MODULE!!
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
Me.ListBox1.AddItem ws.Name
Next ws
End Sub
The above is not required for your task, but your userform being pre-populated is required.
Now you are going to want to watch for the ListBox1_Change() event. Again, if your listbox isn't named ListBox1, then you will need to change this in the Sub Name.
Private Sub ListBox1_Change()
'MUST BE PLACED IN USERFORM CODE MODULE!!
Dim wsSelected As Worksheet
Set wsSelected = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(Me.ListBox1.Value)
With wsSelected
Me.ListBox2.List = rngToUniqueArr(.Range(.Cells(1, "D"), .Cells( _
lastRow(wsSelected, "D"), "D")))
End With
End Sub
Function rngToUniqueArr(ByVal rng As Range) As Variant
'Reference to [Microsoft Scripting Runtime] Required
Dim dict As New Scripting.Dictionary, cel As Range
For Each cel In rng.Cells
dict(cel.Value) = 1
Next cel
rngToUniqueArr = dict.Keys
End Function
Function lastRow(ws As Worksheet, Optional col As Variant = 1) As Long
With ws
lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, col).End(xlUp).Row
End With
End Function
The sub rngToUniqueArr is something I have stored in my PERSONAL.XLSB workbook, it's a useful function to have. This will take an input range and create a dictionary of unique values, and output into an array.
The Above requires a reference to be set to
Microsoft Scripting Runtimein Tools > References
In your ListBox1_Change() event, the wsSelected is the worksheet you selected from ListBox1, and you are adding the array from the rngToUniqueArr into ListBox2.
