    Displaying a named range on another sheet from a dropdown list selection on sheet1?

    Hello ExcelLers!! I hope this is really easy for some of you out there, because I am not having much luck. Here's the situation:

    I have a table with information on sheets2 to sheet10. The table contains information about different contractors my company uses for work. On Sheet1, I was hoping to create a dropdown list of the 9 contractors and, based on the selection, have that corresponding table from sheet2 to sheet 10 be displayed.

    For example, on my dropdown list I might have "Contractor A" which have a table of information on Sheet2, "Contractor B" has a table on Sheet3. If I chose "Contractor A" on the dropdown list from Sheet1, I wanted the table on Sheet2 to show up on Sheet 1. But after, if I wanted to pick "Contractor B", I want the table to change to the table on Sheet3. Know what I mean? Is this possible without code? Thanks for your help!!!!

    Try this...

    ContractorA has data on Sheet2 in the range A2:C5
    ContractorB has data on Sheet3 in the range A2:D5
    ContractorC has data on Sheet4 in the range A2:C10

    Give each of the ranges on the contractors sheet a named range:

    Named range: ContractorA
    Refers to: =Sheet2!$A$2:$C$5

    Named range: ContractorB
    Refers to: =Sheet3!$A$2:$D$5

    Named range: ContractorC
    Refers to: =Sheet4!$A$2:$C$10


    On Sheet1 A2 = drop down list with these selections:

    ContractorA
    ContractorB
    ContractorC

    Enter this formula in C2:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(INDIRECT($A$2),ROWS(C$2:C2),COLUMNS($C2:C2)),"")

    Copy across until you get a column full of blanks then down until you get a row full of blanks.
