    Loading a Table in a worksheet from another worksheet by using a drop down list

    Hi all,

    I'm using Excel 2010 and I need to get around this problem. I have a workbook with 2 worksheets. I want a drop down list in Sheet 1 that will show a specific table located in Sheet 2 (Sheet 2 has several tables on it) when the user selects a specific item from the drop down list. I have given specific names to the tables found in Sheet 2. Thus, if the user clicks "Table 2" from the drop down list in Sheet 1, I want that action to pull "Table 2" from Sheet 2 and display it in Sheet 1.
    I've come across this before but can't find it in my bookmarks!! Do I need to use Data Validation List for this?

    From the sounds of it, you need to use indirect() to ID the table, and maybe offset() to grab the data - hard to say for sure without seeing what you are working with though
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    Thanks FDibbins! I want to correct something in my original post. In fact, I do not have tables in Sheet 2 but rather ranges of cells that need to be shown in Sheet 1. I'll try to post an Excel file to show what I want.

    Solution found by using the INDIRECT function. Thank you FDibbins for pointing me in the right direction!
