    Utilize a dropdown list to select range of data from one worksheet and display in current

    Hello,

    Not sure if the "General" post is the correct one, but here goes.

    1) I need to create a dropdown list that will call (But not switch to) a data range consisting of pictures/Text Boxes and merged cells from one worksheet and display this information on the current active sheet within the exact same range on the current sheet. In addition, I need this range to disappear and be replaced by the same range of data from the newly selcted page from dropdown list.

    I will upload an example, but wish to provide a little more detail.

    1) i will have a list of items listed on left side of screen, each item will be a separate dropdown list.
    2) Across the top of the work sheet will be a name of the workbook along with some pictures.
    Both #1 & # 2 will stay the same as i intend for this to be the only page the user has access to.
    3) in the center of the screen is a boxed area that covers for example cells C9:z52. every worksheet will have a combination of pictures/Textboxes/Merged Cells within this same boxed range.
    its this boxed "Range that i want to be displayed on the main screen in the same cell locations when called from the list boxes. I don't want to switch to these worksheets when they are selected, just have the data displayed on main screen. In addition, once a new selection is made from the list boxes, the current information in the boxed area should diappear and be replaced with newly select data.

    Hope this made sense

    Thanks

    P.S. I am trying to attach an example worksheet, but when i click on the attachment link above, its not opening a navigation window for me to get to my attachment

    The button doesn't work. Here's the process for attaching files:


    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.
