I'm using Excel from Office 2013:

I want to query the user as to which function of 3-choices to run. I'm
currently set up to select a range of data using the mouse, then run the
proper 1 of 3 functions against the selection.

I suspect I get the selection up front, maybe dropdown list if that is
possible, then that code executes on the selection. That would be nice if
possible.

Thanks

your numbers in column A, the validation list in B1.
First select the expected function

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address(0, 0) < "B1" Then Exit Sub
Dim myRng As Range

On Error Resume Next
Set myRng = Application.InputBox("Select your range", "Selection",
Type:=8)
If myRng Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

Range("C1") = "=" & Target & "(" & myRng.Address & ")"
End Sub

The result is written to C1

Thanks Claus
Is there anyway to not define the control on the sheet. I was just thinking
to create the dropdown as a popup type then after capturing the input,
destroy the dropdown.

please look he
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resi...21822A3%214224
for "Function" and download the file because macros are disabled in
OneDrive.
Select a range with more than 1 cell and then select the function.

This makes sense, but you had to use VB instead of Excel Macros (it
appears...?). That is okay, I'm not sure what the advantages/disadvantages
of using VB will have. I'm a bit confused with Excel because it has its own
set of Formulas, Macros & is native to the VB Language. I never know the
ramifications of using one over the other....lol

VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is the macro language used with MS
Office and many other apps that use it for macros. Excel macros can
also be used as user-defined functions so they work in/as worksheet
formulas.

Thanks Garry,
Yeah I know VB is native to Excel. I guess I didn't make myself very clear.
I currently have a .bas file which is a general purpose utility that I
attach to different files just to help do the mundane tasks. I have 3-minor
routines that I wanted to combine a one routine (Macro). So it starts out
by determining the selection from the mouse, determines 1 of 3 Macros, then
executes it. So my real question was having the issue that my files are in
a .bas yet the dropdown list is in VB which will determine which of 3-macros
(in the .bas) file to execute. That's what I meant by advantages and
disadvantages of VB vs Macro routines.

Well there is no difference!!

Perhaps simply...

Sub Run3Macros()
Call Macro1
Call Macro2
Call Macro3
End Sub
