    MACRO - Auto change value in validation and save

    Hi everyone. (Sorry can't attach file sample due to privacy setting of my company)

    I have a report that has a Data Validation (drop down) in worksheet "TEMPLATE" cell "B1". What I do is I change the value of B1 and the rest of the sheet updates based on formula. Then I save it to PDF (only the TEMPLATE worksheet) with the filename set as the VALUE of B1 to a certain folder in my local drive.

    Then I repeat the process until all the list is done.

    What I what to do is to automate the process using MACRO if possible.

    NOTE: It doesn't have to be a validation. As long as all data in my list are accounted. My list is in worksheet "VALIDATION" cell "A:A"



    Thank you

    Thank you
    I've tried this Macro but it ends up in error with the highlighted part:

    Sub GREEN()
    '
    ' GREEN Macro
    '
    ' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+G
    Sheets("VALIDATION").Activate
    Range("A1").Select

    Do While True
    If Selection.Value = "" Then
    Exit Do
    Else
    Selection.Copy
    Sheets("TEMPLATE").Activate
    Range("B1").Activate
    ActiveSheet.Paste

    Dim Path As String
    Dim filename As String
    Path = "H:\TEST\"
    filename = Range("B1")
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, filename:=Path & filename & ".pdf", _
    Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False


    Sheets("VALIDATION").Activate
    Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select

    End If
    Loop
    End Sub
