I have an excel file that uses 3 dropdowns per row, each dynamically populated from one before. Everything works fine on my computer, and any colleagues computer. But when I send it to my client, he cannot use the first dropdown in any row which renders the whole sheet useless...

What I've already done:

  • I checked that we're using the same version excel file.
  • I checked the view objects in on from the excel options tab
  • I've repaired the file
  • I've tried multiple exports of the file
  • I verified that I'm getting my values from the same workbook (no external sources).
The weird part is that when I am on his computer, I look at the data validation for the cell in question and the Data Validation Source is empty.

Values from Data Validation: Source:

The first one is a simple range:
=Lookups!$K$2:$K$10

The second references a range form the first cell:
=INDIRECT(A3)

The third looks for a list of options for that product:
=OFFSET(Options!$A$1,MATCH(B3,Options!A$1:A$164,0)-1,2,1,COUNTA(OFFSET(Options!$A$1,MATCH(B3,Options!A$1:A$164,0)-1,2,1,20)))

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
