data lookup/validation syntax
In Excel 2007 I have a sheet "sheet1" which has a part number in a
cell. (A5) I want cell (D5) to have a data validation drop down menu which is populated from "sheet2". Sheet2 data looks something like this: Column A Column B partnumber1 tradename1 partnumber1 tradename2 partnumber2 tradename3 partnumber3 tradename4 The drop down in (D5) sheet1 should only contain tradenames which have partnumber matching (A5) sheet1. Ideas? Can I use SQL syntax in the data validation lookup? |

Perhaps Debra Dalgleish's site can get you going.
