Hi there,
If after I have created all my drop down menus and INDIRECT cases enetered, is there a way I can have a specific cell come up after all the drop down menus have been chosen?
ie:
Cell 1: user can choose A, B, or C
Cell 2: if Cell 1 was A then D, E, or F
Cell 2: if Cell 1 was B then G, H, or I
Cell 2: if Cell 1 was C then J, K, or L
Cell 3: X, Y, and Z or XX (see below for example)
Ex:
A chosen for cell 1
D chosen for cell 2
X comes up in cell 3 automatically.
AND, is there a way to make it so that more than one cell can come up if a certain sequence is chosen from the first two cells such as:
A chosen for cell 1
E chosen for cell 2
X, Y, and Z come up in cell 3, 4, and 5 automaticaly.
The only problem is that I am not sure how excel handles the information. Would it be easier if I just make a new entry XX where XX=X+Y+Z? The reason I want to do this is because there will be times when Y will have to be shown in cell 3 as well (ie: when X is not shown). Am I being clear?
I have done this before at my last job but am not sure about the last part.
Thanks in advance,
Dean
