Hi All,
I am trying to achieve the following, using the table below as expample:
Set up in D1 a validation list (dropdown) that pulls the right values from column B, based on the filter on A (from user choice in C1).
E.g. if user inputs "Joe" in C1, then the validation list in D1 should have {apple, corn, pear}.
<tbody>
</tbody>
Question: what should be the formula for the validation list in D1, taking into account that it seems that array formulas do not work there (i.e. index/match)
Finally, I do not want to have separate columns or sheets to precalculate stuff. Also, order is not significant.
I tried I am busting my head but cannot make it work...
Thanks!

A | B | C | D |
Joe | apple | [user enters column A value here] | [validation list with filtered column B values here--depending on user input on C1] |
Joe | corn | ||
Joe | pear | ||
Mary | apple | ||
Mary | corn |
