Validation List
I want to use a listbox for a cell. But I want to have 2 different lists to
choose form based on what a certain cell is. EXAMPLE in cell A2 I want to have a list box. Now if A1 shows "2418" then I want A2 to have a list showing different options. And if A1 shows "2499" then I want A2 to have a list with different options. Is this possibe? if so, how do I do it. Thanks in advace Travis |

Validation List
Use DataValidation, type of List, with a formula of
=IF($A$1=2418,list1,list2) -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Tdahlman" wrote in message ... I want to use a listbox for a cell.

Validation List
How do I specify that a list is part of "List 1" or "List 2"?
I go to Data, then Validation, then select List. Then I enter the formula you gave me. But it tells me that "A named range you specified cannot be found" Also, What if I want the List 1 to display when A$1$ equals 2418 or 2419 or 2410 etc. "Bob Phillips" wrote: Use DataValidation, type of List, with a formula of =IF($A$1=2418,list1,list2) -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Tdahlman" wrote in message ...

Validation List
You need to either name your ranges and use those names, or just use the
range references (A1:A10 for example). -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Tdahlman" wrote in message ...

I still need to know how to use 3 and 4 lists and have multiple options for
one list. EXAMPLE: If A1 = 2418 or 2419 or 2410 or 2422 , then use List1. But if A1 = 2432 or 2499, then use List2, And if A1 = 2480, then use List3, And if A1 = 2452 or 2453 or 4552 or 4553, then use List4? Please help. Thanks in advance Travis |
