Drop down list options dependent on cell value
Hi,
(For Excel 2003) Put the numbers 1 to 8 in cell A1 to A8, then click into cell C4DataValidationselect from list and put =IF($C$3=1,$A$1:$A$4,$A$5:$A$8) as the source. This will work if you put 1 in cell C3 showing 1 to 4 in the dropdown list, and will show 4 to 8 for any other number in cell C3. You need to consider what you want to show if the number in cell C3 is not a 1 or 2 and either change the above formula or put validation on on cell C3. -- John MOS Master Instructor Office 2000, 2002 & 2003 Please reply & rate any replies you get Ice Hockey rules (especially the Wightlink Raiders) "mt" wrote: i would like a cell to be able to have 3 possible drop down lists depending what the value of another cell is.
