Drop Down List
Is there a way (Excel 2007) to merge 2 columns with different info into one Drop Down List? Example: Column a1 B1 C1 Name ID # Rate As shown, A1 & B1 will not change. Column C1 can can change depending on the task. I just need to combine A1,B1 into one drop down list Bob M. |
Drop Down List
You need to have an auxilary column which concatenates columns A & B. Then
make your drop down list columns C & D Column a1 B1 C1 D1 Name ID # =A1 & " " & B1 Rate "robert morris" wrote: Is there a way (Excel 2007) to merge 2 columns with different info into one Drop Down List?

Drop Down List
Thanks for the reply. I'm a little confused tho. Columns A, B, and C are
adjacent columns with no space between them. We also need to copy Col a, b and c down to approx 100 rows. Columns A and B need to remain separate Columns due to sorting by name and/or ID#. Column C (Rate) changes as to the task performed. For purposes of the Drop Down Box, combining the two cells would reduce the keystrokes involved as well as accuracy. Am I clear as mud? Bob M.

My recommendation was to add a new column C between your old columns B and
C.. You could also Hide A and b so the results will appear like you old worksheet except the drop down list will have 2 items instead of 1. by using my formula any changes and sorting of A and B will automatically appear in my new column. The result I think are what you are looking for. "robert morris" wrote: Thanks for the reply. I'm a little confused tho. Columns A, B, and C are adjacent columns with no space between them.
