How do you link 2 drop-down menus?
Hello, I'm in a lurch... I need to link to side-by-side drop down menus. It goes like this: *First column’s cells have DD menu with a list of about 180 countries *Second column’s cells have DD menu with a list of numbers (only two numbers: 1&2). *Certain NUMBERS in column two go with certain COUNTIRIES from the first column (USA gets 1, France 2, Mexico 1, Germany 2 etc...) *As it stands, the user must first choose the COUNTRY in column 1, and then choose the corresponding NUMBER that goes this that country in column two. (note: There two separate columns must remain) ***I want to make it so that when the COUNTRY is selected in column one, the corresponding NUMBER automatically appears in column 2 * Can anyone help? I've got a deadline fast approaching!!
