I assume you have a list of values in your workbook which is used by
the data validation cell A2 - let's say you have "Apples", "Bananas",
"Cherries", "Pears", etc in a block of cells somewhere.

What you could do is to change this list to a series of formulae, like
so:

=IF(A11, "Apples","")
=IF(A11, "Bananas","")
=IF(A11, "Cherries","")
=IF(A11, "Pears","")

Cell A2 contains the data validation pointing to this list, but if A1
is less than 1 then the list doesn't contain anything, so although the
pull-down is still visible in A2, there is nothing to select. However,
if the value in A1 exceeds 1 then your list is re-instated and so you
can use A2 normally.

Hope this helps.

I posted this question yesterday, but it doesn't appear to be showing up
anywhere.

I'm using Excel 2003.

I'm trying to determine whether there is a way to include a validation drop
dowm list as a result of a conditional statement. In other words, If a
conditional statement is true, I'd like to display a drop down box, otherwise
zero.

As an example, I'd like to insert a formula in cell "A2" that says
"=If(A11, XYZ,0), and I'd like to be able to replace XYZ with a validation
drop down (it would be a piece of cake if "validation" was a function).

Anyone have any ideas? I received a notification yesterday that someone had
responded, but I couldn't find the response (or the question).

Thanks
