Okay, we tried the solution below but it won't let us have a validated
drop-down list - it tells us that we have restricted values. We've attacked
this a number of ways and just can't seem to get there.

To recap -
1) we have a field in which the user selects a location (this is a validated
list)
2) we have a field in which the user chooses a salesperson (until the
addition of a second location, this was also a validated list - the second
location has complicated things measurably . . .)
3) when the location is selected, we want the user to pick a salesperson
from a validated list, and for the choices to be dependent on which location
has been selected (since s/p are unique to the location and don't appear in
both locations).

Open to more suggestions! Thanks!

I have a cell in which the user can select a location. Based on the
location
they select, I want a cell elsewhere in the spreadsheet to display only
the
sales personnel assigned to the location they've chosen (which is a
validated
list).

I"m sure there's some "if" statement but I can't make it work. Help!In
the
instance below, if they choose the location US, I only want them to be
able
to select, for their s/p, Bob or Steve.

Loc S/P
01-USA Bob
01-USA Steve
29-CAN Ken
29-CAN Mark

Thanks!
