If i have 10 different MS Access databases linked to a workbook. Can you make a drop down just to select which database to work off of ?
My thought is to have the databases be selectable in a dropdown and for all the information for that database populate a predetermined sheet. then all the formulas would just have to look to the one location instead of each different database.
example:
Presume each database has 4 columns of data in which one row is not to be used because its just a MS number for the parts.
DB1
DB2
DB3
DB4
DB5
Those would either be prenamed list (Dynamic). each one being on its on sheet.
The drop down would look just like above when opened. Then once it selects that database IE: DB3....
On a different sheet names (DB WORKSHEET) the information in the columns of DB3 autofill into corresponding columns.
Once there all my vlookups, index, match, etc formulas would work off of that worksheet and not have a worksheet for each database...
Can this be done with formulas or will it need script.
Sorry for being redundant in the explanations and thanks for any help.
