Hi,
I have created a quoting worksheet and I want to populate the drop down boxes in certain cells with data in another workbook. I have been on the contextures website and followed the instuctions but keep getting an error message stating that the selected range cannot be found. I can get it to work with the data list in the same workbook but as the quote worksheet is going to be emailed to clients I don't want the sensitive data going with the quote worksheet. Another option would be to only email the quote worksheet without all the other worksheets, is that a possibility.
Many thanks
Keith

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
