In a cell I have values such as "cm||m||mm"

What I am looking to do is have a dropdown that would list them a "cm", "m", "mm"

The dropdown menu would be dependent on an INDEX MATCH.

I cannot amend the original data sheet to use a "Text To Columns" style. (This is a report received daily to a specified location, that the sheet I need a dropdown in references



So, Master Data Sheet (In Column H will include things like "cm||m||mm"


In my worksheet I have an INDEX Match for the Product details that I can use to determine the dropdown

MASTERSHEET
Column BColumn H
Product NameDefault
UOM
Abcdecm||m||mm
Fghijh||min
Klmno


My Worksheet
Column AColumn B (Need Dropdown here)
Abcde(Dropdown of "cm", "m", "mm"
Fghij(Dropdown of "h", "min"
KlmnoNo details in Column H, so no dropdown needed
