Default How do I set up charts with a drop-down list?

I have information that I track for 10 people and then graph it. Instead of
having graphs on different sheets or all on one sheet, I'd like to creat a
drop down list where anyone can choose a person, and then have their chart
come up, but only for the person that its selected. I do not know what
function this is considered and am having trouble finding help. If anyone
has any ideas how I go about doing this or can direct me to a helpful site I
would really appreciate it.

Thank you!

Jon that does look like something that will help me, one question I do have
however is, does the data have to be on one sheet or can I compile the data
from different sheets?

Thank you!

I've done it both ways. It's usually easier to compile it from different
sources onto one sheet (with links, so it's dynamic).
