link drop down menu to info in worksheet
 

want to create a drop down that shows information from other worksheets. ie

Data, Validation, Settings, Allow and choose List. In Source, click on the

want displayed in worksheet 1. Click on the red again, and OK. When your
cursor enters the cell in worksheet 1, a downarrow appears with the list you
linked to.
