Return list from a list
 

I have a list of customers, and each customer has a list of their model
names. Eg.
Customer: A, Model: A1, A2, A3..
B, Model: B1, B2, B3...
C, Model: C1, C2, C3....
I want my excel column A to display the list of customer and for me to
choose one (which i know i can do so by "validation", and choose list)
Then i want the column B to display the list of models correspond to the
column A selection. Meaning if i choose customer A from the list, column B
should display the list is B1,B2,B3... then i choose one of them from the
list (like the "validation").
But i dunno how to do so with excel. can any one teach me?

First of all, i have to thanks Challa for solving my question. Thank you very
much Challa.

But i have 3 questions arrises:
1) When the list is long, the drop down cell only display 8 rows each time,
is there a way i can show more than 8 rows a time at the drop down cell?

2) The text in the drop down cell has a standard form size, i find it too
small. Is there a way i can mke the text to be larger size in the drop down
cell?

3) Suppose my list contents: Alpha, Beta, Cat, Dog, Elephant
When i clip the arrow and drop down cell apprears, if i type "a" can the
list automatically filter and only shows me the matching words (in the drop
down cell) so far?

Thank you very much.

Hi Jacky

Also on Debra's site, the following answers your first 2 points
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal08.html#Font

Using a Combo box can give more than 8 lines, and provide Autocomplete.
Details here
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal11.html

There is a workaround for to jump to a certain letter in a data
validation list in an example file I created which Debra has at
http://www.contextures.com/DataValHeadings.zip
