    Baisc Macro knowledge

    Hi,

    I only have a very basic knowledge of working with Macros and Excel so hopefully the question i'm going to ask will be relatively simple for someone to answer.

    I'm creating a monitoring system for work and i'm trying to get a macro to tie in alongside a drop down menu. By this i mean that the drop down menu will give several options, i.e. the names of four seperate companies. I want to be able to select one of these companies from the drop down and then when i click on the 'submit' button i wish to be taken to that companies worksheet in the same workbook. So dependent on which company is selected i want to visit one of four worksheets by clicking the same button.

    I hope this is clear...please help if you can, it will be much appreciated!

    Cheers

    What kind of drop down are you using? You could use hyperlinks instead of VBA.
    Hope that helps.

    I created the drop down by going through Data toolbar> Validation> List.

    I have absolutely no idea how to use VBA either so i'm kinda blagging it!

    Cheers

    Assuming that your Data Validation list is in A1 then add this code to the WorkSheet_Change event

    Option Explicit
    
    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    
    If Target.Address <> "$A$1" Then Exit Sub
    Dim sSht As String
    sSht = Cells(1, 1).Value
    MsgBox sSht
    Worksheets(sSht).Activate
    End Sub
    To see how to enter the code see this:
