Can someone please help me? I have a spreadsheet with 2 worksheets. In the first worksheet (named eval sheet) the second sheet is called list data. I want a data validation cell that when I choose a cell, the next cell will show a data validation of it's cell.

For instance.

D3 = N/A
D4 = N/a
E3 = AA
E4 = HARD

If someone in eval sheet in cell P7 chose N/A, P9 will only show N/A also. Likewise if someone in cell P7 chose AA, P9 will only show HARD and so on for 80 entries.

Please help!

Thanks for any help!

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Youe examples are D3,D4.... but you are refeing to P7.

When you have Data Validation in P7 in P9 enter
=IF(P7="N/A","N/A",IF(P7="AA","HARD",""))

This way P9 will show what's in P7.

Thanks for the reply, but I have data from D3 all the way to BX4 and this would be a long formula. I was hoping for something simpler.

=IF(P7="N/A","N/A",IF(P7="AA","HARD",""))

I know if could say =IF (P7 ="D3", (D4), IF (P7 ="E3", (E4), IF (P7 ="F3", (F4), IF (P7 ="G3", (G4)), but I have 70 rows of information.

Thanks again.
