Dear Folks,

Please help me in the following:
There are couple of hundred units, dispersed randomly on the sheet. There is two different type of unit. (unit border marked by thick line).
Unit types:
- 3x27 cells unit: contains: 2x12 pcs of ⚪, as a default value
- 3x9 cells: contains: 2x5 pcs of ⚪, as a default value

Small part of the sheet:

Second cell in first and third row in every 3x27 unit contains a dropdown menu. (In the 3x9 unit the dropdown is in the first cell)
I would like reach, that the changing this dropdown will change the whole row, like this (change all ⚪ for ⚫ in the row).

And then, changing the 2nd cell of third row:

Or randomly choose any of the 1st or 3rd row in any unit in the sheet:

The xls is here: example.xlsx

I suppose, probably could be solved by a VBA code, but I don't have any clue about it.

Please help me. This would be almost the last step in my project. (If my description wasn't clear, I would try it again. If it need, I could upload the big sheet, not just this small one)

Thanks a lot

Csaba

I knew there might be some such problems. I may have to do some thinking on this to fix it. I will let you know how it is going.
