Need help from excel masters,

I have a userform enclude 3 comboboxes, and I have 3 columns (A) for Branches (B) for Departments and (C) for Names A2:c5000 the 3 lists are related and has duplicate and some blanks, what I want to do that when I choose a branch name in first combobox I want to get all departments that has relation with this branch without duplicate and blanks, same after I choose one from departments I want to get all employees names that has relation with that branch and this Dept. in the last combobox, without Dups. and blanks, and kindly avoid array formulas it's take too much time because the size of data.

For example:

BranchDept.Name

Excel Facts

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
How about
Code:
[COLOR=#ff0000]Option Explicit
Dim Dic As Object[/COLOR]

Private Sub ComboBox1_Click()
   Me.ComboBox2.Clear
   Me.ComboBox3.Clear
   Me.ComboBox2.List = Dic(Me.ComboBox1.Value).Keys
End Sub

Private Sub ComboBox2_Click()
   Me.ComboBox3.Clear
   Me.ComboBox3.List = Dic(Me.ComboBox1.Value)(Me.ComboBox2.Value).Keys
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
   Dim Cl As Range
   Dim ws As Worksheet

   Set ws = Sheets("sheet1")
   Set Dic = CreateObject("Scripting.dictionary")
   For Each Cl In ws.Range("A2", ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      If Not Dic.Exists(Cl.Value) Then
         Set Dic(Cl.Value) = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
      End If
      If Not Dic(Cl.Value).Exists(Cl.Offset(, 1).Value) And Cl.Offset(, 1).Value <> "" Then
         Set Dic(Cl.Value)(Cl.Offset(, 1).Value) = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
      End If
      If Cl.Offset(, 2).Value <> "" Then
         Dic(Cl.Value)(Cl.Offset(, 1).Value)(Cl.Offset(, 2).Value) = Empty
      End If
   Next Cl
   Me.ComboBox1.List = Dic.Keys
End Sub
The 2 lines in red must go at the very top of the module, before any code.

Forgot to mention, you need to change this to match your sheet name
Code:
Set ws = Sheets("[COLOR=#ff0000]sheet1[/COLOR]")
Also are you combos called ComboBox1 ComboBox2 etc?

Hi Mr. Fluff, Sorry for inconvenience, Do you still remember my inquire about 3 related lists in comboboxes, I just need a modification if you can, I want to do the same Lists but not in comboboxes in cells in sheet, what I mean I want each cell in Columns G & H & I. has validation list.

As this is a totally different question, you will need to start a new thread.
