Dropdown Box to Select Data from Another Sheet

[Annabelle]

How might this be done?

I have an accounting workbook with two sheets, Master and
Data Entry. I want to be able to enter data on the Data
Entry sheet for each month of the year (example below).
Each month has the same number of rows and columns. On the
Master sheet, instead of 12 "tables", there is only 1 and
it is empty. Using a dropdown box (where the month/year
should be - as below) so I can view the data for that
specific month. If I select JAN, 03 from the dropdown, the
table will present the data from the Data Entry sheet for
January '03. If I want to see the data for March '03, I
select MAR, )# from the dropdown and March '03 is now
presented.

Instead of storing the items on a separate sheet, enter everything on
the Master sheet. Add a column to indicate the month of each entry.

At the top of the worksheet, use Data>Validation to create a dropdown
list of month names. A worksheet change event can be used to run an
Advanced Filter after a month has been selected from the list.

I've added a sample workbook to my site that demonstrates this:

Under the Filters heading, look for 'Summarize Budget Details' and
download AdvFilterBudget.xls
