dynamic link to external workbooks through data validation
 

Hi experts,

I'm trying to create a summary that changes the links to external workbooks
dynamically based on the selection of data validation lists.

The different workbooks are all set up exactly the same. As an example, the
names of the workbooks are periodic forecasts (Q1, Q2, Q3, Budget), the tab
names are different divisions (total company, div1, div2, etc.), the columns
are years, and the rows are P&L lines (revenue, cogs, r&d, etc.). I want
someone to be able to select the periodic forecast, the division, and the
year through data validation, and the rows will display the P&L lines that
correspond to that workbook.

Is it possible to change the links to an external workbook using data
validation?

Thanks,
Mark
