Query function and drop down list

Query function using drop down list to select data from table

Question:

I'm trying to have a drop down list be where you choose what query to run.

Code        Product          Total Sales

A              A                   100

B              B                   200

C              C                   300

What I want to do is I put in a drop down list with the options in it like top seller, top product, etc.then when I choose an option, the chosen query will be run on that sheet, displaying the required data?

Solution:

You have to create drop down list in Cell E1 and then put the following formula in Cell F1:
=if(E1="Top seller";query(A2:C;"select A where C=" & max(C2:C));if(E1="Top Product";query(A2:C;"select B where C=" & max(C2:C));))

Have a look at the following screenshot:

Now when you change the value in the drop down list in Cell E1:

You will get the updated result in Cell F1:
