Data Validation
Here's what I'm attempting to accomplish. I've asked this same question
several times but haven't found the solution yet. In workbook 1 on worksheet 1 I have a data validation list in cell A1 that contains school semester terms, i.e., Fall 2004, Spring 2005, Summer 2005. On the same worksheet, I have another data validation list in cell B1 that contains courses, i.e., Math, History, Science, Art. I want the user to make a selection from cell A1 (list) then (if possible) required to make a selection from cell B1 (list). With the results in both cells A1 and B1, for example, Fall 2004 Math (Fall 2004 + Math), to point to (activate) a different worksheet (either in the same workbook, or a separate workbook) that is already created specifically for Fall 2004 Math. In other words, there would be a worksheet for each possible combination from cells A1 and B1 (lists). Or I could do tables for the results, all on one worksheet. How can I achieve this functionality, OR, is there a better solution to this? Thanks! |

I got it to work. The solution was given to me previously from crispbd as
follows: If you just want to navigate to a selected sheet based on the 2 list items, try this: Given: Cell A1 has the semester, Cell B1 has the Course 1) Goto View:ToolBars:Control Toolbox 2) From the Toolbox, click the button icon, 3) draw a button on this sheet 4) double click it to go to the VB code, 5) paste this into the button's code: On Error Resume Next Sheets(Cells(1,1).value & " " & Cells(1,2).value).Activate This will activate the sheet which is the combination of the semester (plus a space) and course: "Fall 04 History" for example, if Fall 04 is in one list, and History is in the second list.
