    Dashboard Automatically Updating with Data on Newly Added Sheets

    I have a spreadsheet which has a seperate sheet which holds information on different projects. I was planning on adding a macro that creates a new project by copying a template sheet, which will then appear on a list of sheets (see column A of dashboard) - this bit is fine and currently works.

    What I am really after is for a user to select a project from a drop down (also completed this part - see cell D9 Dashboard) which then shows the relvant cell(s) from that sheet. I have a work around in place at the moment with an IF function but in its current state this would need a new argument adding every time a new project is added, which is something I was hoping to avoid.

    I have no idea how to do this last bit and it is really frustrating as it is the last piece I need to have the automation I am after.

    I am not that familiar with VBA, having only ever copied and pasted relevant code.

    Hope someone can help

    It sounds like you could use the INDIRECT formula.

    With that being said your layout of the contract 1 is different than contract 3. This is going to be WAY more trouble than it is worth. I would aggregate the data into ONE standardized data set, then you can EASILY pull the aggregated data into clean reporting.
