    Resetting Dropdown list in all sheets (Excel Workbook)

    Dear All,

    I am a newbie to Excel Macros, and i have been trying to work out on resetting the value of all drop-down list available in Excel Workbook (created via Data Validation) to Default value (i.e. First Value of the list)

    I cam across a piece of code on a different thread http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?t=847615 which works perfectly only for one sheet i.e the name of the sheet given in the code ("Entry Sheet"), Can someone please guide/help me to enhance the below code to work on the workbook (multiple sheets).

    Hi Yasser,

    Thanks for the reply. I tried the above code, but it gives me the following error. (Attached image) Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed. Thanks.

    Re: Resetting Dropdown list in all sheets (Excel Workbook)

    Hi Yaseer,

    I really appreciate your help! This seems to work, however the only issue now is after clicking the button, my focused page/sheet shifts. For example: The button is on "Test" sheet, and when i click that the drop-down do resets to default, however I am taken to "Data" sheet, i.e. I am no longer on "Test" sheet where I originally was.

    Regards
    Hawkz.

    Hello Hawkz
    Try adding this line at the end of the code
    Sheets("sheet1").Activate
    I supposed you need to get sheet1 active after running the code

    Re: Resetting Dropdown list in all sheets (Excel Workbook)

    I think it is because the validation list in cell I5 in sheet Cover is related to another external workbook ...
    The code is working for the internal DV only ...
    May be some experts help us in this point

    Re: Resetting Dropdown list in all sheets (Excel Workbook)

    Nopes, all of the Validation List has been referred from "Constant" Sheet i.e. (Constant!$F$9:$F$11). The problem is not only in the "Cover" Sheet but also in the "Drops" sheet.
    I tried, using individual sheet specific drop down reset button, but the error persists. Thanks.

    Re: Resetting Dropdown list in sheets (Excel Workbook)

    I have used the VBA code:

    Sub clearcheck()
    Dim sh As Worksheet
    For Each sh In Sheets
    On Error Resume Next
    sh.CheckBoxes.Value = False
    On Error GoTo 0
    Next sh
    End Sub

    But now need to have this only apply to a specific set of worksheets. Can anyone tell me how to make this change?

    any help is appreciated.
