    @svayl

    You get better help if you post an Excel-example of your workbook, without confidential information.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    Practice.xlsx

    Ok I attached the file. Basically want to type in a code for a student and have the output be the subject. I tried doing what you told me to do, but it keeps telling me there is an error and also won't let me save the file.

    Ah!

    Hello, column B on sheet Jan 2012 I added code menu selection, and column C shows the subject automatically.
    I do not know if that was what you asked
    greetings

    Yea that is what I want. How exactly did you do that? Also, do I need to do this manually for each month(sheet)?

    Then, it is not difficult, located on B2, and from the menu Data -> validation data, then choose to allow: list then from Origin: =codes!A2:A20. Ok.
    For the other months, copy cell B2 and paste from the Jan2012 sheet in the sheet Feb2012, then drag down.
