    Advanced Drop Down Menu formatting

    I will preempt this thread with the knowledge that this may not be possible but I thought I would ask and see.

    I would like to have a drop down menu and based upon which selection you choose a large area of the worksheet will change formats depending on which selection you choose.

    For example: If you choose #1 then the area below it will have four line items to total up costs. Or you could choose #2 to have one line item summary cost. Or you could choose #3 and have 15 lines for in depth cost breakdowns.

    If anyone has any suggestions on how to do this or even a direction to start in I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks.
