Firstly, thank you for the existence of this forum! I am only posting after having exhausted myself in reading about dependent values for drop-down lists, VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, INDIRECT, etc., and something simply must not be 'gelling' because I cannot seem to get my order form to work right.

Buyers will have three gender styles to choose from, Male, Female, and Unisex. Getting this to display in the drop-down menu for the first column was pretty easy. However, Each gender style has three types of shirts to choose from, all of which are named the same thing: Dress, Polo, and Sport.

From there it gets pretty complicated, with the other categories being (in order):


  • Sleeve Length (Long or Short for Male and Unisex Dress, ¾ for Female Dress, and Short (only) for all the other styles (Male/Female/Unisex Polo and Sport))
  • Size, which is dependent on the first three columns, and ranges from XS-XL, to S-XL and 2XL-3XL, 2XL-5XL, etc., it just depends on gender and type of shirt being ordered.
  • Shirt Color, another multi-dependent variable.
  • Logo Color, Red, White, Gray, and Black are available, but the logo color options are dependent on the shirt color chosen (e.g. I don't want a 'black' logo to be available for a 'black' shirt).
  • Price, which is dependent on Gender+Style+Size.

Finally, from the price I wanted to add quantity column and tax (7.5%) at the very end, but these are functions that I can get to work, thankfully.

Please help! I can get multiple independent lists to operate no problem, but I'd like to create a sheet that only shows certain options. The biggest problem is that some of those values are repeated depending on what's being chosen, so I've had a hard time figuring out how to tell Excel what I want it to do.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I'm very close to simply creating a pen-and-paper sheet, but would love to be able to e-mail a form with great functionality to my employees. I can show the file if needed.
