drop down menu containing worksheet names
hi all,
i'd love it if someone could show off their excel prowess on this one. what i'm trying to do is have a workbook with multiple "common" worksheets and one main worksheet. on the main worksheet i want to have a drop-down menu where you select which common worksheet you want to pull data from to populate the main worksheet. the common worksheets will always be the exact same structure and will contain a weeks worth of data. every week i want to "move and copy" a common worksheet so that i have one worksheet for evey week. i don't want to have to make a million worksheets at the inception of the workbook. what i think will be the tricky part is having the drop-down menu automatically update so at any point in time i would be able to select any common worksheet available. ready to learn... -jarrad |

Sounds like you should be looking at the INDIRECT function in HELP.
