    Populate table from another table based on drop down list selection

    Essentially what I am trying to do is copy a table from one worksheet to another based on a selection from a drop down list. I would like for each time the drop down option is changed the table is changed.

    For example:
    Worksheet1
    A1=Quarter 1 (Chosen from drop down list)

    A2= Table named Quarter 1 pulls from Worksheet 2

    Hopefully that is clear. I'm open to all options!

    Re: Populate table from another table based on drop down list selection

    There is indeed a clearness to your questions, but it would be extremely helpful to see a sample workbook which will remove all doubt.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    Re: Populate table from another table based on drop down list selection

    I have attached a sample workbook. On the first sheet in A1 there is a drop down for each quarter. Once a selection is made in this drop down, in B1 the coordinating table from the other work sheets should pull.

    Let me know what other information may be needed.

    Thanks for your help!!!

    Is this what you need?

    Sheet1 B2 copied down and to the right >> =INDEX(INDIRECT("'" & $A$1 &"'!$H$2:$M$19"),ROWS(A$1:A1),COLUMNS($A1:A1))

    I receive a REF error. I double checked all the cells and can't get it to pull.

    Rule 08: Cross-posting Without Telling Us

    Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not cross-post your question on multiple forums without telling us about your threads on other forums.

    Post a link to any other forums where you have asked the same question. If you have fewer than 10 posts here, you will not be able to post a link, but you must still tell us where else you have asked the question.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

    Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).

    No further help to be offered, please, until the OP has complied with this request.

    Wow, I was definitely not intending to waste anyone's time. I apologize it was perceived that way. I was merely trying to get different perspectives.

    I should have read the rules more thoroughly. Indi_Ra, thank you so much for holding me accountable...

    I have undeleted post #7, which offers a solution. I have explained why cross-posting without links is not allowed in post #8.

    That does help Jeffreybrown!

    I'm just trying to figure out how to apply this to my actual data now.

    Thank you for your help
