Making a dynamic list?!
 

Hi

Is it possible to populate a list (drop down box in a cell) based on a
selection from another list?

I.E. I have columns A and B (for ease of explanation). When I click on
A1, I have a drop down list from which i can choose from over 100
options. I then want to choose from a list to populate B1. However, I
want my options in B1 to be dependant on what I chose in A1.

Is this possible?

I have made the lists using the validation tool, populating it from
differnet columns on the worksheet.


If this makes any sense, any help would be greatly appreciated

You may be able to use data|validation and dependent lists.
