Default data validation defaults

Cathy
Please understand that you are the only one who knows your operation and
how it works. It is difficult for someone outside of your operation to know
what you have and what you want because you are using terminology that is
peculiar to your operation.
Let me state what I think you mean and you tell me if I'm right.
I'll refer to a Data Validation cell as a DV cell.
Cell D15 is easy to understand.
Column B is not. Do you mean that Column B has DV cells with the list of
products?
I don't know if Column D has DV cells or not nor if you want help with it.
Column E. You say Column E has DV cells. You also say that, if Affiliate
is chosen in D15, you want the Column E DV cells to display (as the only
option) a 1. I gather that you want Column B to display a 1 and a 0 so that
the user can choose one or the other if anything other than Affiliate is
chosen in D15.
I don't understand where "There are certain products that are automatically
included when Affiliate
is selected in $D$15" comes into all this. Do you mean that you want the DV
lists in Column B to include only certain products when Affiliate is chosen
in D15? What about when the other choices are made in D15?
I understand what you want with E72, but you say that you set it up to do
all that and it doesn't do it. How did you setup that DV?

I have a pricing proposal model. In it is a data validation drop down menu
in cell $D$15 that allows the user to select Affiliate, Client, or
Promotion.
The product names are listed in column B, Column D contains the price for
the product and Column E allows the user to select the product with a data
validation list of 0 or 1.

There are certain products that are automatically included when Affiliate
is selected in $D$15. I want to set it up so that when $D$15 equals
Affiliate, these line items (in column E's drop down list) default to 1
instead of 0. I established a named list which allows 1 as the only
option,
but it doesn't default to 1 - it's still a manual process.

Also, in cell $E$72 is a discount percentage data validation drop down
list.
It is set up in such a way that when Affiliate is selected in$D$15, only
0%
appears in the drop down, when Client is selected, 0% - 10% appears in the
drop down and when Promotion is selected, 0% - 20% appears. However, it
does
not automatically default. So, if I previously had Promotion at 20% and
switched to Affiliate, the 20% would be the default in cell $E$72.
