Worksheet Names, Drop Downs, Reference

[helpexcel]

Hi - I have a workbook with 51 tabs, 50 named after a state and 1 other. I have a drop down with each of the states on sheet1. How do i use the values in that drop down to reference one of the worksheets? Each of the state sheets would be the same, they would just have different data. I have code that will pull the data from the State sheet and put it in Sheet1. I guess I could have 50 macros, but I'm assuming there is a way to use the drop down value to reference a sheet.

So, set wsSTATE = Thisworkbook.sheets("Drop down Value Here")

Thanks.

If your drop down is from data validation then you can just reference the cell.

So if the data validation drop down was in G2 you can use the below to return the value of S7 from the selected sheet.

Sub test()
Dim wsSTATE As Worksheet
wsname = Range("G2")
Set wsSTATE = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(wsname)
Range("A7") = wsSTATE.Range("S7")

End Sub
