In Column E I have a value, such as "Product length"

In a separate "Data" tab from KZ2:NI20 (Row 2 being the Column Headers) I have a list of values, such as "Length"

What I would like is a dropdown that takes the value "Length" from column E, and provides me with a dropdown in Column "H" that uses the table in my data table, and anything in that column is listed.

Working Sheet
Column EColumn H
Product Length(Need dropdown values of mm, cm, m, km) etc
Packet Length(Need dropdown values of mm, cm, m, km) etc

Data Sheet
Column KZColumn LA....Column NI2
LengthWidth...Volume
mmmmml
cmcml
mmpint
kmkm
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
I think I understad what you want.
At the moment cell E2 contains 'Product Length' and so H2 should have dropdown with mm, cm, m, km
If you were to change E2 to 'Volume', then H2 should automatically be modified to dropdown ml,l,pint

It would have to happen through some VBA code, but is is certainly possible
