Hi,
I have an excel sheet with multiple TAB's. Each is a Product Name and that TAB contains that product's Buyers List and email address.
This will obviously keep increasing over time and difficult to keep scrolling through to find the product TAB.
I want to create a 1st PAGE or 1st TAB who has a simple Drop Down Menu showing Name of Each PRODUCT TAB and once o select it, it takes to that that TAB.

I have made a rudimentary screenshot of what i need.

If someone can help me, please do let me know how this can be done?
Thanks so much !

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Can i see inside Product? what is exactly it contain?
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
See attached the screenshot of each product sheet.

But i don't want it to link to any of that data..
I just want the "Main Menu" to simply have a drop down pointing to the product sheet

Hi Gaurav,

You can use the below code in your sheet "Select product option" and change the Range("B5") to your respective cell :

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    On Error Resume Next

    If Not (Application.Intersect(Range("B5"), Target) Is Nothing) Then ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Target.Value).Activate

End Sub

Problem with design like this is when you have 100 products then you will need make 100 sheets too just to hold them info/detail, here is what i do with just 3 sheets (Setting, Database, Dashboard) :

1. Create 3 Sheets, rename it to Setting, Database, Dashboard.

2. On Setting sheet, create table for Product Name (i assume there is no duplicate name for product, so we don't have to make Product ID), in this table put whole product you have.

1Product Name
2Triclabendazole
3Bupivacaine

3. On Database sheet, create table for hold the information about the customer associated with the product, so you will need column Product Name, Buyer's Name, Email and Name, put your whole data into it.

4. On Dashboard sheet, put ComboBox from ActivexControl to hold the product name, Developer > Insert > choose ComboBox from Activex Control

here it is.jpg


5. Right click on that ComboBox, choose properties, change Style from "0 frmStyleDropDownCombo" to "2 frmStyleDropDownList"

6. Still on Dashboard sheet, put some header for the table display, Buyer's Name, Email and Name, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS ON ROW 3 or you will get unexpected result (if you don't want to do that on row 3 then you have to change a bit of the code to make them fit each others).

7. The idea is when someone choose something on this combobox then table below it (Table Display) will show the data associated with that product, to achieve that put this code to your Dashboard Sheet Code Environment :



VBA Code:
Option Explicit



Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()

    Dim oWsDatabase As Worksheet

    Dim oWsDashboard As Worksheet

    Dim iLastRowDatabase, iLastRowDashboard, i As Long

  

    Dim colData As New Collection

    Dim arrData As Variant

    Dim varData As Variant

  

    Set oWsDatabase = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Database")

    Set oWsDashboard = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Dashboard")

  

    iLastRowDatabase = oWsDatabase.Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row

    iLastRowDashboard = oWsDashboard.Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row

  

    If iLastRowDatabase > 1 Then

        arrData = oWsDatabase.Range("A2:D" & iLastRowDatabase).Value

      

        For i = LBound(arrData) To UBound(arrData)

            If arrData(i, 1) = Me.ComboBox1.Value Then

                colData.Add arrData(i, 2) & "/" & arrData(i, 3) & "/" & arrData(i, 4)

            End If

        Next i

      

        With oWsDashboard

            If iLastRowDashboard > 3 Then .Range("A4:C" & iLastRowDashboard).Delete Shift:=xlUp



            iLastRowDashboard = 4



            For Each varData In colData

                arrData = Split(varData, "/")



                .Range("A" & iLastRowDashboard) = arrData(0)

                .Range("B" & iLastRowDashboard) = arrData(1)

                .Range("C" & iLastRowDashboard) = arrData(2)



                iLastRowDashboard = iLastRowDashboard + 1

            Next varData

        End With

    End If

End Sub



Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()

    Dim oWs As Worksheet

    Dim iLastRow As Long

    Dim arrData As Variant

  

    Set oWs = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Setting")

    iLastRow = oWs.UsedRange.Rows.Count

  

    arrData = oWs.Range("A2:A" & iLastRow).Value

  

    Me.ComboBox1.List = arrData

End Sub
