linked values in other sheets
Hi, basically I have one sheet in my workbook, that contains summary information and is called 'Summary'. It has one dropdownlist in it. I would like it to be set up so that if I change the value in my dropdownlist in my Summary worksheet, that the dropdownlists in my other sheets also change to this value. But at the same time, the other dropdownlists should be able to take on a value of their own, and only change to the value contained in the Summary sheet if it is changed. I hope this makes sense. I have tried just having the formula in my other dropdownlists: =Summary!E1 where E1 is the cell containing the dropdownlist This works, but as soon as I change the value in those dropdownlists independently to something else, that formula is lost. Any ideas, suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

You have to assign a macro to the Summary dropdown. Something like this:
Sub DropDown1_Change() Dim NewVal As Integer NewVal = Worksheets("Summary").Range("A1").Value Worksheets("Sub1").Range("A1").Value = NewVal Worksheets("Sub2").Range("A1").Value = NewVal ''Etc.

Ok great!, ya, I figured a macro was probably necessary. And thanks for the example. My only question now is how to assign this created macro to the dropdownlist?

How you assign macro depends on the kind of drop down you have. If it's
from the Forms toolbar then right-click it and pick Assign Macro. If it's from the Control Toolbox then double-click it to jump to the click event handler code. You can paste the code in there. The double-clicking will only work if you're in "design mode". If you're not, click the first button on the Control Toolbox to go into design mode. -- Jim "Boon8888" wrote in message ... | | Ok great!, ya, I figured a macro was probably necessary.
