Hello all. Before posting, I did a search, but couldn't (knowingly) find a thread describing my problem.

I'm working on a project where a user would:

1. Open Excel and have a sheet with three combo boxes (depending on how they wanted data displayed), with each assigned a macro.

2. Let's use the first one for example: By Facility & Nursing Unit

What I'm trying to do is, if the user selected "Facility A -- Nursing Unit 1" from the Combo box, have only that data (not for all 87 comobs I have) be displayed in another worksheet in the file and that sheen would open up for the user to print.

Right now, when I select something in my combo box, it will run the macro in the same worksheet behind the combo boxes, creating a quite interesting array of colors b/c of the formating/conditional formating I have in my macro.

I pushed for a simpler method of using just Auto Filtering, but alas...

Any help would be much appreciated. Feel free to ask any clarification questions!

Thanks so much!

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
