Default Look up Values from other file based on combo box's option

Hi,

I've a file (Book1.xls) with a list of items placed in a combo box and there
are all together 9 items, for example, AAA, BBB, CCC, DDD, EEE, FFF, GGG,
HHH, III. In this file also, I need to display the monthly data regarding
each item and those data are stored in another file in table format
(Book2.xls). All of the data are placed in different sheet according to
respective item range from cell A5:T12, which mean data of AAA item is in AAA
sheet in Book2.xls.

I would like the table data in Book1.xls change accordingly when the option
in combox box cahnged by looking up the data in respective sheet in
Book2.xls. Previously, I've tried out using IF Function but the nested level
can only go up to 7 layers; so, there is still has one option being left
out!!! After that, I did try out using Hlookup Function but it made the
things work even tidious cause there is no "decision-making" feature embedded
in this function; and whenever the option in combo box changed, it would
cause errors once the data couldn't be found / matched!!!

Thus, is there any other way to handle this problem???
Or macro is needed to be created???
Anyone out there could advise????

Thanking in advance.
