Hi
I have built a number drop down lists - first is the category drop down followed by the sub-categories based on the first drop down list.
I am trying to build a selection list that will be populated based on the result of the first drop-down list.
Is this possible to do?
Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Hi,


One way to do it is with named ranges and indirect(). The first picklist choices are each the name of a subsequent list of choices. If you pick from the first list in A2, then the data validation for subsequent choice has a list specified as indirect(a2).
Here is a link with a much better explanation and a lot more info, from a very good site: https://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html
