Copy select data from one worksheet table using dropdown to another table in different worksheet.

0

I have been getting help from Variatus (thanks much!) but I am stuck on trying to use Enum to name tables and CodeName for each worksheet.  My last post, I failed to post the xlsm document, so unable to view anything.  I have so many macros in this project that not sure if I can change the table names on the worksheets(where the select data is copied from after selecting the dropdown choice of "NO" and the master table worksheet (where select data goes after selecting dropdown choice of "NO") without messing up what I have already got working on my own.

This should not be hard but I am sure struggling with nomenclature, process etc.  I have posted two previous questions that Variatus has helped me with to get to this point, but now I made sure I put on forms in xlsm so you can see what I am trying to accomplish.  This is the last part of my work project to fully implement.

Thanks again for any help.

Your workbook doesn't contain code (perhaps cleared out while inspecting the document), and your post doesn't contain a question. So it's hard for me to find a point to focus on. Basically, there is a rule in programming to separate code and data. Put all your table names (data) in one place, for example, and then refer to that location whenever you need a name in the code. If you did your programming without observing this rule you can decide to proceed "as is" but the more complex a project becomes the more time you will spend on searching for errors resulting from bad structure.
Management of sheet and table names is a system in itself. It has to be designed with care and fore-thought. The system I have suggested may or may not suit all the requirements of your project. Once you start thinking of needing such a system you can start defining what you want from it. Accordingly, my suggestion is just a starting point for further thought. The enumeration and array function are tools to be used in the design of a system that suits your need, not necessarily the final solution yet.

The first step is to become thoroughly familiar with the tool. Instead of writing "21000 State Program Travel" (anywhere in the code or on the worksheets) you use "TabName(NidState)". That is simple. Instead of "_21000_State_Program Travel" you use "TabName(NidState, True)". That would be simple too, but you lose the leading underscore. Depending upon the function of that character the change might be considerable, but the 'TabName' function could easily be amended to include it. I suggest you use the Edit/Find function to find each occurrance in your code and examine if it can be replaced. As a result of that examination you might want to tweak the system.
Avoid a partial replacement at any cost because that would give you the disadvantage of change without the advantage of better code. The advantage you want is to have each name written only once, so that you can change it in one place without having to change your code (or worksheets) anywhere in any way. Right now your project is stuck because of incompatible naming. The alternative to introducing a sweeping change that eliminates incompatibility is to seek out the points of incompatibility one by one and make corrections.
