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 C -- mayerc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mayerc's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=35447 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=552244 |
