Hello All,

 

Help please.

I have so many tabs with data in a workbook.

I want to be able to click on a list (combo box) to pull all the data relating to the tab whilst the tabs are hidden.

This means the workbook only displays a front and provides the information required when the droplist is activated.

How do I go about achieving that please?

Grateful for any help.

 

Many thanks in advance. PS, apologies if the topic has already been covered.

 

Best regards,
Stee Wan

Hi Stee

I don't see any reason why the list or combo box is unable to pull the data from the hidden tabs.

You did not specify whether the list/combo box are Form or ActiveX Controls.

I am only assuming it is a Form Control but it doesn't matter as both will able to pull the data.

Maybe you could attach a sample of your file for us to take a look.

Thanks Sunny for the prompt response and desire to assist.

Said data is highly sensitive. I will look for some sample data online and use that to demonstrate what I mean.
