Working with dropdowns...please help
I'm setting up a spreadsheet using dropdown lists that a bank will use to
come up with a risk rating on a loan. For instance: The first dropdown is a list of class codes: 1 = auto loan, 2 = home loan, etc... The second is a list of collateral codes: 1000 = savings/CD's, 2000 = business assets, 3000 = residence, etc... I'd like to narrow the second list based on the first one, since certain types of loans can only take certain types of collateral. I know how to do this in MS Access, but I'm not sure how in Excel. Each set of codes has its own sheet (i.e."LkupClassCodes"), and on a different input sheet I've got it working so that each dropdown picks up all the choices, but how would I go about narrowing that down depending on the previous choice? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you -Nico -- "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." - Albert Einstein |
