I have a question similar to one that has been posted before but I tried all
those answers and couldn't get it to work. I have...let's say...12 different
macros, one for each month of the year, that I can assign to buttons and they
work fine. Jan07, Feb07, and so on. On sheet2 in my workbook, Cells F9 and
G9 are merged together and contain a data validation drop down list of those
months. What I would like is that when January-07 is selected, it will run
Jan07, when February-07 is selected it will run Feb07, and so on. One thing
I thought may be affecting it is the fact that when I select a month from the
drop down list, I see it as "January-07" but it seems as though excel has it
as 1/1/2007. Meaning, if I double click the cell to modify it, it would
change from "January-07" to "1/1/2007".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

Thank you Bob, but I'm not exactly sure what this macro is accomplishing. My
objective is that when cell F9:G9 (they're merged) reads "January-07" this
event macro would call another macro named "Jan07". If the cell reads
"February- 07" it would call macro "Feb07", and so on. I don't know how to
include this into the macro.

Thanks again,
Scott

The macro will trigger when anything is selected from the list, and fires
the corresponding macro.

Change the target range and it should work.
