data validation--multiple dependent list
Hi all,
Does anyone know how to create two list in different cells based on the selection of the first list? For example, i have one drop down list with these items: A, B ,C, D. If 'A' is chosen, then i have two seperate cells that are dependent on the selection of 'A' with their own list of values. 'A' has values of "A1, A2." And 'A1' has list of 1,2,3,4 'A2' has list of 5,6,7,8. I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance. |

data validation--multiple dependent list
Hey Dave,
Thanks for your reply. I have already looked at that particular example posted on the website. However, it does not say anything about muliple lists that depends on the first selection. The examples on the website talks mainly about just one list dependent on the first choice, using the indirect function in data validation. I have two different cells that are dependent on what is selected in the first cell...I hope i am being clear.

data validation--multiple dependent list
Do the first cell following Debra's instructions.
Then do the second cell following the same instructions. I don't understand why that wouldn't work. Michael wrote: Hey Dave, Thanks for your reply.

I believe Debra posted a sample file recently for a casino in Vegas where
there are multiple lists for croupiers to avoid them pushing the wheel on the same roulette table <vbg, it's on her download page Peo "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...

Dave,
Thanks again for your reply. Will you give me an example? I don't think you can use the same name for two different lists. This is the reason i think it wouldn't work. Appreciate your help.

data validation--multiple dependent list
Dave,
Here is another example. I hope this is clearer. ie. cell A1 has a data validation list of silver,gold,red,blue. If cell A1 is "silver", I want an INDIRECT data validation list with 1,2,3,4,5 in cell B1 If cell A1 is "silver", I want an INDIRECT data validation with Mats,Owen,Joe,Alex,Ed in C1.

data validation--multiple dependent list
I created a list and named it Colors.
I used that for my data|validation list for A1. I created a list called "Silver_Numbers" (1,2,3,4,5) and used this for the Data|Validation list in B1: =INDIRECT(A1&"_Numbers") I created a list called "Silver_Names" (mats, owen, ..., Ed) and used this for the Data|Validation list in c1: =INDIRECT(A1&"_Names") Each of these cells (B1 and C1) are only dependent on the value in A1.
