Hello Everyone,

I am trying to create a data entry worksheet that includes a data validation list based on Index/Match values from our Purchase Order Table. I have used data validation to create a drop down list for the PO, and I am trying to create a second drop down list based on matching Part ID's in the PO table against the select ID on the work sheet.

The PO table is set up as,

ROWIDVENDOR_IDPOLINEPART_ID
153833RANSTE35706A103750SA517B
153834RANSTE35706A205000SB575-N06022
153835RANSTE35706A303750SB171C71500
153836AMESTE35705A108750SA387112

<tbody>
</tbody>

The worksheet I am trying to create has the following format

INVOICEPOPART IDQTY COST

<tbody>
</tbody>
data entry Validate Validate Data entry Data Entry

The desired result would be to enter PO 35706A in the worksheet and have a drop down for the part ID column that would include the matching parts from the PO table. I have played around with using some index match array formulas as the source in data validation but with no luck. Is something like this possible?
