I want to have users select a value from a dropdown box, then have their selection take them to one of twenty or so worksheets. Can someone help me write the code that would do this? Thanks. BR

Hi there

Here are 2 examples for you. They both assume you have a data validation dropdown list in A1. The first code is where your list is the names of the worksheets. The second code is where your list is of column G of a table in G1:H20 - and the sheet names are in column H. Amend to suit your own situation:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address <> "$A$1" Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
Sheets(Target.Value).Select
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address <> "$A$1" Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
Dim X As String
X = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(Target.Value, Range("G1:H20"), 2, False)
Sheets(X).Select
End Sub

To enter one of these codes, copy it, right click the sheet tab, left click view code and paste it in the large code window.

regards
Derek
