Help with Dependant list boxes
Hi Im trying to find a way of doing listboxs that are data dependant I have a table with 3 rows of data A , B, C, Course, mode, Start date, Computing, FT, 5-sept-2005, Computing, FT, 30-sept-2005, Computing, PT, 12-sept-2005, Computing, PT, 8-feb-2006, Internet Computing, EV, 20-sept-2005, Networking, EV, 10-jan-2006, (theres around 200 records with serval duplicate courses with different mode and start dates) I want it so that when a course is selected the next drop down box would show the avalible mode of study (ie computing only has FT and PT) and the the 3rd list box would show the advalible dates for the course and mode. Ive tryed the information at http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal13.html which has given me some insite to it but i am unsure how to make it work with all 3 list boxes. For some reason i cant get my brain around it. Any Help or sugestions would be great. Thanks -- haitch2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haitch2's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27677 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=476617 |

Help with Dependant list boxes
Thanks for the quick reply Ive had a look at this page before but i cant see how it works with an extra list box. I know it says roughly at the bottom but im unsure how to get it to work with my table, or how to rearange my table so it would work. -- haitch2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haitch2's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27677 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=476617 |
