    Wink Simultaneously updated cells

    Gonna try my best to explain the problem here. It's a simple one but has got me incredibly stuck. I have two sheets in excel that are titled with months in the calendar year. I want it to be so when I change months in the first sheet it also changes it in the second and vice versa. I heard excel active x comboboxes are the way to go for this but I don't really get how it works.
    If someone could explain them or just make the combobox in excel that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    You probably need to use worksheet Change Event handlers on each worksheet to update its opposite number.

    Re: Simultaneously updated cells

    So if your months were in cells A1: L1 in both worksheets called "Sheet1" and "Sheet2", you could repurpose the previous link as follows
