Default Creating Buttons to navigate and drop down menus

Type the list of valid entries in a single column (this column can be hidden,
if desired).
Select the cell or cells that will display the list of entries, choose Data
- Validation, and select the Settings tab.
From the Allow drop-down list, select List. In the Source box, enter a range
address or a reference to the items in your sheet.
Make sure the In-cell dropdown box is selected. This technique does not
require any macros.
You can download ' Andrew's Utilities, besides the Worksheet index - there
are a whole lot of great features you can use in Excel.

To create a worksheet index - from Andrews Utilities


Sub WorksheetIndex()
On Error GoTo Terminator
Dim ws As Worksheet, wsIndex As Worksheet
Dim myRow As Long
Call SetCalcSetting
Set wsIndex = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add _
(Befo=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1))
wsIndex.Name = "Sheet Index"
Range("A1") = "Sheet Index"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Sheet_Index", RefersToR1C1:= _
"='Sheet Index'!R1C1"
ActiveCell.Font.Bold = True
myRow = 3
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Name < wsIndex.Name Then
wsIndex.Hyperlinks.Add _
anchor:=wsIndex.Cells(myRow, 1), _
Address:="", _
SubAddress:=ws.Name & "!A1", _
TextToDisplay:=ws.Name
myRow = myRow + 1
End If
Next
wsIndex.Columns("A:A").EntireColumn.AutoFit
Call SetCalcSetting("Restore")
Exit Sub
Terminator: MsgBox "Sorry, there seems to be a problem... " & vbCrLf
& _
"Perhaps the Sheet Index already exists? ",
vbExclamation, "Create Worksheet Index"
Call SetCalcSetting("Restore")
End Sub
