Dependent combobox
 

Hi

There is a way of doing this, it can be quite complex so
i'd have a mess around on a test spreadsheet first.

I have used in the past a pivot table on a lookup sheet,
so when you select something from your first combobox it
will put this value in the cell where the drop down
selcetion of the pivot table is and switch the pivot table
accordingly, then populate, what ever you want with the
returned values in the pivot.

if you put a cell next to the pivot table (assuming the
pivot table is in a1 for this example) "=match("Grand
Total",a:a,1) this will give you the septh of the pivot,
so you can then use the range, a3:a (this result -1) to
populate what you want.

Hope this helps.

Any other probs, drop me a line
