    Populating worksheets info from Dropdown list

    Hello all,

    New to excel and new to the forum. Looking for help on excel. I have an excel workbook I would like help with. I want to have the users (name 1, name2, name3 etc.) to enter information into their individual worksheet for 4 to 5 different cells. On the master sheet, I want to be able to select a name from the drop down list and information is populated into my master worksheet based on the name selected. I also want to assign a Program leader to to the list that would update back to the name(1,2,3) sheet. Can anyone please help? I have attached my workbook.

    Hi bgreen66,

    welcome to the forum.

    I believe you need output in sheet "MasterA" from sheet "master" where all data is getting summarized.. correct ?

    I need the information to pull from the individual name sheets to fill into the Master worksheet. So if name2 is selected on the Master sheet it would populate the information entered on the name2 sheet,

    Name1, Name2, Name3, represents the individual users. They will input their information on those worksheets for their workload. The Supervisor will use MasterA worksheet to pull up information for the individual users. On the MasterA worksheet, user will chose a name here from dropdown list (A3) name1,name2, name3. Once a choice is made from the drop down list, we want the chosen name to populate the information from the appropiate name worksheet. I hope that clears it up.

    In post 4, you mentioned :-
    So if name2 is selected on the Master sheet it would populate the information entered on the name2 sheet,
    but in above post #8, you clarified that names will be selected on MasterA sheet and this is what I was trying to clarify
    Thanks for this.

    Now, I have updated below workbook to extract data from individual name sheets :-
