Default Selecting worksheet dependent on columns drop down list

For starters: Please do not give me http://www.contextures.com/tiptech.html
and send me on my way. I have spent a great deal of time there and have no
come up with my answer.


I need to tell Excel that the item that I've chosen in Column C is the
worksheet I want it to go to for further instructions. I think if I can get
that, I can have multiple nested IF statements to do what else I need to do.
Is there a function that is meant to tell Excel that what is chosen from a
drop down list is the worksheet I want it to go to?

Thanks,
PC

AFAIK, there's no such worksheet function ..

Suggest you try:
http://www.contextures.com/xlToolbar01.html
Navigation Toolbar for Workbook Sheets

where there's a sub by Dave Peterson
which produces the "droplist" functionality that you seek
Try the sample file on the page (link is there) ..

There's no function built into excel that allows this.

Well, you could use another cell and then an =hyperlink() formula and click on
that:

=IF(C1="","",HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",INDIRECT ("'"&C1&"'!a1")),"ClickMe"))

This assumes that the worksheet name is in C1--I don't know how you made the
dropdown list.

Or you could use some sort of macro -- but you didn't share enough info to start
that.

=======
Alternatively, you could use a toolbar that is more generic. Instead of using a
worksheet cell as a navigation tool, you could use this from Debra Dagleish's
site (even if you don't want to visit there again!):

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Me.Range("C:C")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo endit
Application.EnableEvents = False
Select Case Target.Value
Case "1"
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Case "2"
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
End Select
endit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
