    Help with linking data validation list and functions on multiple sheets.

    Hello

    I am making a maintenance sheet for work and I want to make it so when someone selects YES or NO from a drop down menu on sheet one it chances the amount of parts or left on sheet two.
    I already completed sheet one but I am not sure how to make it so it changes the amounts on sheet two every time someone does a service.

    for example:
    Sheet 1
    Were O-Rings changed YES----selected from drop down menu

    Sheet 2
    211 O-Rings 200-----amount left after selecting yes

    Thanks to all that reply!

    Here is a sample sheet.

    I want to make it so when YES is selected on sheet 1, a quantity of 2 is taken off from sheet 2 every time someone uses the sheet.

    There are two macros in the workbook:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    The above changes the dropdown selection to NO when ever the worksheet is activated. It checks the hardware list sheet to see if the count is zero. If it is, then it moves the cursor to the adjacent cell so that the dropdown cannot be selected and gives a zero count message.

    The code below is triggered whenever there is a change in check list sheet. If the change was triggered by a change in the dropdown cell H2. If it's YES, and the hardware list sheet is more than zero and subtracts two from that value.

    You can view the code by right clicking on the check list tab and selecting View Code.
