Heirarchical lists
Is it possible in Excel, either through Combo Boxes in VB or the Data Validation method to do a hierarchical list selection (List tree)? For instance, if I have a cell, and when I click on it, the user can select one of several colors, and then when a selection is highlited (or clicked) it brings up another list next to the original list of food items, and then depending on that selection, another list of eating utencils (this is a silly example, but I think it communicates my question). Further, no matter what option is selected from the first two lists, it brings up the same list for the next selection. ex: blue red purple yellow-waffles green tacos-fork fish spoon<- steak knife then, it would enter into cells A1-3, respectively, yellow, waffles, and spoon. Any help is appreciated. -- chris_manning ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chris_manning's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=23986 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=376944 |
