Default Conditional Data Validation


Hi,

Does anybody know whether you can have Excel make a Data Validation
List based on a previous Data Validation List? That is if I select x in
A1 (as part of a DVL which consists of x,y,z,etc), that a DVL in B1 is
created with values x1,x2,x3, etc).. Thanks, that save me a lot of work
;-)

Peter

Default Conditional Data Validation


Thanks for replying, RagDyer, but using this method I could only use
entries in A1:A100 that have only one word. As the data is complicated
and the file has to be user friendly, I will have to be able to use
multiple words.

If anybody has tips, thanks a lot,

Peter

When you opened the link I gave you, right at the top of the page, didn't
you see a list of additional links that Debra provided for including various
types of data in your lists?
