    Automatating Validation List Selection

    Hello again everyone!

    I was wondering: In my worksheet I have a validation list which is used to select phrases. In the next cell below I have a Vlookup statement to get the info to the corresponding phrase. I do this every time I open the worksheet.

    Is there a way that Excel can automatically go to the next phrase upon file open instead of me manually selecting it from a drop down menu? I have attached a small workbook....

    TIA

    Try this macro which you need to paste into the ThisWorkbook tab in the VBA editor (Shift F11)

    Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Cells(1, 1) = Columns(5).Find(Cells(1, 1)).Offset(1, 0)
End Sub
