Hi Hemi,
Yes, it definitely makes sense. You can achieve this by using the
"INDIRECT" function in Excel. Here are the steps to do it:
- Create a table with all the business units and their corresponding sub-business units. Make sure to give this table a name (e.g. "BusinessUnits").
- Select cell A2 and go to "Data Validation" under the "Data" tab.
- In the "Data Validation" dialog box, select "List" under "Allow".
- In the "Source" field, enter the following formula: .
- Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
- Now, when you select a business unit in cell A1, the drop-down list in cell A2 will automatically update with the corresponding sub-business units.
Note: Make sure that the names of the business units in the drop-down list in cell A1 match the names in the
"BusinessUnits" table exactly.
