Hey,
I'm a primary school teacher who has been diagnosed with severe heart failure.
As a result i have lots of time on my hands.
To want to give you an idea of what my goal was from excel: Maths Question Generator

So basically my goal was to create a word bank of questions for teachers to use that are focused on primary age children.
Tick, i done that. I created a page dedicated to each type of question (Well, i'm still adding new pages to it)

Then, i wanted to be able to retrieve just one question from a page of my choosing.
Tick, i done that, i created index formula with randbetween to select one question at random.

Now, I want to create a front page that has 4 separate drop down boxes. (Most maths lessons start with a 4 a day of arithmetic questions)
The drop down boxes need to be identical so i can select one question type from each.
After i select one question type from each list i would like them to appear in another cell beneath so it looks a little more aesthetic.

How would i go about this?
Thanks in advance

What i hope for it to look like below

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
