    Copying Cells with Drop Down Lists

    good Evening Fellow Excel Users

    I have a spreadsheet below which i created one


    Darts - League 2006-2007
    Week 1 MATCH No 1

    Team A V Team B

    Darts

    Res Tons Name Name Tons Res
    1 1 A Smith v C Jones 1 0
    2 B Smith D Jones 0


    + 5 more matches in the same excel format


    All red texts are drop down boxes

    Team A and Team B are linked to a list called Teams
    and the players in red are the people that play for that team which are in a list on another worksheet within the spreadsheet file


    the problem that i have is that i need to recreate the above 239 more times and when i copy and paste them the links described above dont copy with them
    ie if i change Team A to Team C and i select another player it selects them form Team A and Not Team C

    Would i have to manually change all the other 239 sheets once i have copied them it would take hours and hours



    Can anybody help me


    Cheers

    Re: Copying Cells with Drop Down Lists

    An untested suggestion: copy the sheet by holding CTRL and dragging the tab.
    When you have a few, group and copy to make more than one copy at a time, or use a macro to repeat the copy as many times as needed.
    Sub Macro1()
    '
    ' Macro1 Macro
    ' Macro recorded 20/08/2006 by Bernard V Liengme
    '
    For j = 1 To 10
    Sheets("Sheet1").Copy Before:=Sheets(2)
    Next j
    End Sub


    best wishes--
