Default Creating a 4-step filter

You need to make sure that each list is named the same as the option in the
previous list. Also, if you want 4 dropdowns, you'll need 4x3x2x1 lists to
cover all eventualities. Mine worked OK. I'll send you a copy if you like.

Hi

I've been on there and i've just tried it again but for some reason it
wont
filter out information between each location. I set the filter for
location
birmingham, then i tested it and 2 things were wrong: It let me pick
filter 3
before going through 1 and 2, and also, it let me pick the birmingham
location filters for other locations. Oh my im so confused!!!!

Hi

Have you had a look he

It only shows two fropdowns but having had a look at the logic, I can;t
see
any reason why it can't be increased beyond that.
I'm going to try it just to see if it can work!

Hope this helps.

Hi

I am trying to work out how to creat a 4 step filter.

In box 1, I select a location, then in box 2, I want to be able to
select
floors that only relate to the location selected, then in box 3 I want
to
select departments that relate to the floor and location, etc.....
until I
have 4 stages of information

I have found how to do the 2 stage but cannot see how to continually
filter
this between all the data I have.
Any help would be great
