    Create a drop down list which is made up of the other sheets

    Hi:

    I need to create a drop down list which is made up of the other sheets in the same document. For example the main sheet is named "Product Line Summary" and the rest of the sheets are the months of the year. On the Product Line Summary sheets, I want to be able populate it with the data from the sheet named "January" or "february",etc.

    Any help you can provide would be awesome!

    Thanks.

    hi usrobinjo, welcome to the forum. assuming the data you want in "January" sheet is in A2:A10, you can try any of this 2 methods.

    1) in "Product Line Summary", select the cells you want the dropdown applied to (say B1:B5). go to Data -> Data Validation -> Allow: List -> Source:
    =January!A2:A10
    OK

    or;
    2) name the range of the individual sheets first. go to "January" sheet & select A2:A10. press CTRL + F3 -> New -> Name: January -> OK. then in "Product Line Summary", select the cells you want the dropdown applied to (say B1:B5). go to Data -> Data Validation -> Allow: List -> Source:
    =January

    hope that helps
