Hello All,

I have developed a spreadsheet in which all the values displayed would depend on the selection in dropdown list i.e. if i change the selection in the dropdown list, all the values in the sheet would be displayed according to the selection.

The problem is that, instead of i doing the selection manually, i want a vba code thru which the selection in dropdown list changes automatically i.e. in a incremental manner i.e. in a loop.

thanks a lot in advance

Hello lehgzil,

Aprreciate for the link. The example given in the link involves two combo boxes. Here I am using a drop downlist. The entrie data in the sheet depends on the selection in drop down. So after a selection, i need to copy the data displayed in a specific document and select another one in the drop down list and then copy again the displayed content and this process goes on.

So for this process, i have completed the later part of the process i.e. copy and save. Can you please tell me how to automate the selection in the drop down list.

hi rav,
thanks for viewing the thread,
sorry if i cant help you with this now, i still dont know how to code something like that...
but considering the logic...

is it like this
youre dropdown list values is like a masterlist of documents...
1. have youre list -file addresses on a range
2. i use something like a case statement for the selection of the range.
3. have a command button to copy/paste the selected range.

thanks.
