Hi All

I have a workbook with 2 sheets. Sheet 1 is a selection tool. Sheet 2 is a database. In the database I have several columns, which form the data for the selection tool, running from left to right.

On Sheet 1, I want to have several drop down boxes. When a user selects an option in box 1, then the options in box 2 reduce and so on for the next box. I also want to not display any duplicate values in the dropdown lists, so effectively I want to have a filter to sheet 2 display on sheet 1, giving an end unique result.

Is this possible?
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Hi VoG

I've been to that site already. I guess I didn't make it clear in my original post that I'd prefer not to have to go and build new lists every time I add some data. Maybe that's the only way of doing it?
