Default dynamic formula? not sure if it's even possible to do this with Excel ...

Hi -

I'm attempting to 'merge' three reports into one .... basically, three
of the same exact report, just with slightly different base data. At
this point, I've transferred the 'raw data' from each of the reports
into one (each with it's own tab) and I've got the structure of the
report built. However, I'm struggling with how to make use of the 3
datasheets.

My thought is to use radio-buttons to let the user select what 'point-
of-view' (ie data set) they want to see ... with their selection
causing the existing formulas to 'adapt' to use the right data set.
So, as example:
Datasheets: 'Store' - 'Food' - 'Internet' ('Store' is the default
selection)
Default formula: ='Store'!A1
Adapted formula: ='Food'!A1 (assuming user selects 'Food' radio
button)

The formulas are MUCH longer than this, so using nested formulas (ie
nested-if statements) isn't really an option due to character limits
in the cells. I'm thinking that some kind of Worksheet_Change code
might work, but I have no idea where to start with this!

Can this be done or am I wasting my time trying to merge these
reports?

TIA,
Ray
