Conditional drop down list
I am trying to put together a sheet that contains some drop down lists.
The persone entering data in the sheet will select an item from the first drop down list, which will then determine the content of the second drop down list. All the drop down lists will be in the same row, seperate columns. E.g. Drop down list 1 Option A Option B Option C If Option A is selected the second drop down list should then only list values associated with Option A, e.g. Option A1 Option A2 Option A3 Option A4 Creating the first drop down list is easy, but how can I get the second drop down list created based on the selection made in the first drop down list? Any help appreciated Kind regards Pieter |

See Debra Dalgleish's website for instructions on using Dependent Lists:

Conditional drop down list
Is this used with Data|Validation?
If yes, Debra Dalgleish shows how to create dependent lists: http://contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html Pieter van der Walt wrote: I am trying to put together a sheet that contains some drop down lists.
