background :

workbook with 6 worksheets of input
1 worksheet with proper inputted data summary

sheet 1 - summary worksheet
cell: A2 drop down menu (different builder)
cell: A3 drop down menu (builder specific series)
cell: A4 drop down menu (series specific models)

_100 series spreadsheet of different models (61 different items x 26 models)
_500 series speadsheet of different models (61 different items x 13 models)

3 other speadsheets same info just different builders

what i'm after is that once specific builder,series,model are determined the data from the specific spreadsheet goes into appropiate "cell of sheet 1". i've tried to use macro but it appearently didn't copy the drop down menu info to get the data from the appropiate sheet. right now i've been able to use this formula for one cell but have to do find:replace as needed.

=IF(AND(A2=M12,A3=M13,A4=M28),series100a!D$5,"")

Since no one has left a reply i'm going to assume that i've missed some inportant information for this problem.

both _100 and _500 series models have same data ( ie: recepticles, fixture outlets, etc). in same blocks. what i'm really after is after builder , series, model chosen the relevant data of specific model is transfered to "sheet 1" .

I still don't understand what you want to be returned.
What inputs into Sheet1 A1:A3 cause what results?
From which of the _50 series or _100 series sheets would that data come?

A2: drop down menu consisting of:
Mapleton (Builder A)
Courtyard (Builder B)
Barry (Builder C)

A3: drop down menu specific to builders different "series of homes"

Mapleton 100 and 500 series homes
Courtyard Loft and 1 floor homes
Barry custom homes

A4: specific models of homes as what you see in the series _100a above.

Once determined from the "drop down menus" the appropiate info goes into given spot on "sheet 1"

maybe i should be thinking of Vb scripting: something to this effect:

If A2 = "mapleton"
If A3= _100
If A4= "Arlington" then input data from _100seriesa!B5:B66 (into "sheet 1" cell c9:c91)
If A4 ="Bantridge" then input data from _100seriesa!c5:c66 (into "sheet 1" cell c9:c91)
If a4 = "Westgate III" then input data from _100seriesa!AI5:AI66 (into "sheet 1" cell c9:c91)

If A3 ="_500"
If A4 = "ALTURUS" then input data from _500series!B5:B66 (into "sheet 1" cell c9:c91)
If a4 = "ALTURUS III" then input data from _500series!c5:c66 (into "sheet 1" cell c9:c91)
If a4 = "WOODLAND" " then input data from _500series!X5:X66 (into "sheet 1" cell c9:c91)

If A2 = "Courtyards"
If A3= _1_floor"
If A4 = "Model Elm" then input data from courtyard!B5:B57(into "sheet 1" cell c9:c91)
If a4 = "Model Willow" " then input data from _100seriesa!c5:c66 (into "sheet 1" cell c9:c91)
If A3 = "loft"
If A4 = "Model Birch 1L" then input data from courtyard!n5:N57 (into "sheet 1" cell c9:c91)
If A4 = "Model HICKORY 4L" then input data from courtyard!Y5:Y57 (into "sheet 1" cell c9:c91)
If A2 = "Barry"
If A3 "custom"
If A4 = "Cambridge" " then input data from cambridge!B5:B57(into "sheet 1" cell c9:c91)

Right now i'm using data validation for the pop down menus.

=IF(AND(A2=M12,A3=M13,A4=M28),series100a!D$5,"")


A2 = M12 (mapleton)
A2 = N12 (courtyards)
A2 = O12 (Barry)

A3 = M13 (100 series)homes
A3 = M14 (500 series)homes
A3 = N13 (1 floor)homes
A3 = N14 (loft) homes
A3 = O13 (custom)

A4 = different model homes for specific builders

of course the back half of statement must change as per what happens in column A3

.......),series100a!D$5,"")
that would end up being ,series100a
series500
1floor
loft
custom

thelast part d$5,"") part would change with the specific model rangeing from B$5,"") to AI$5,"") all for the 100series homes



any help would definately be much appreciated or should all this be done with Visual basic if so then could i be pointed in write direction.
