    Update Similar lists on multiple worksheets in the same workbook

    Hi crew!

    Please help with the following, I know I have to use a Worksheet_Change event, but not quite sure how to draft it properly, I gave it a try and ended up in a bit of trouble, so, here I am requesting help from you professionals.

    I have a workbook with several sheets, however, I have two worksheets [Comparison Detail] & [Comparison Summ]. These two worksheets have the same validation lists on Cell B1 and B2 [different validation lists on each cell by the way]. What I would want is that as soon as I change the value in either B1 or B2, that the other sheet (containing the very same lists) to update to whatever value I just changed to on the other sheet. Hopefully this made sense...

    Thank you

    Ron

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato and pepper are fruits. Wisdom is knowing whether to put these in a fruit salad

    Kindly

    [1] Use code tags. Place "[code]" before the first line of code and "[/code"]" after the last line of code. Exclude quotation marks
    [2] Mark your post [SOLVED] if it has been answered satisfactorily by editing your original post in advanced mode.
    [3] Thank (using the little scale) those that provided useful help; its nice and its very well appreciated

    Hi Marcol, thanks for the suggestion, but I don't want that.

    It's my fault, I knew I had to specify that on my original post. Anyways, the reasons, why I don't prefer that is because I make selections on either worksheet and, and I want the other worksheet to return the same selection as it was done on the previous one. Therefore, if I use a formula, this will be replaced at the time I make a manual selection there.

    Thanks though. Still waiting for some help on the code....

    Hi guys,

    To show you that I am not lazy and just trying to take advantage of your knowledge for free, this is what I had, but is that not doing anything,

    On "Comparison Detail", I have the following code:

    and On "Comparison Summ", I have the following:

    But its not doing anything.... Of course if you notice I don't have any code for cell B2, yet, not quite sure how to include it there.

    Any ideas?

    Re: Update Similar lists on multiple worksheets in the same workbook

    Perfect!

    Thank you very much, I'll definitely mark it solved and add to your help scale. You're good. I just changed the range to "B1:B2" instead of B12.

    Thank you.

    Out of respect, I need to appologize as this morning I posted a bit of similar question on another forum. My apologies, but I really thought that my post was being missed, sorry and thank you for proving me wrong. But nobody has worked on that other response yet, so I'll advise them there as well.
