3 way dependant lists
If i have 2 drop down lists, where by selecting the first it narrows down the
options in the second list to those that are applicable to the chosen choice. is it possible and if so how do i then link this second selected option to a third drop down box? for example, by choosing a login in the first box it then shortlists relevant domains and finally i want to link the appropriate user names that are relevant to the choice in the second box (iv used named ranges). the first 2 formulas i used for the first 2 boxes that works well, in data/validation respectively we =IF(D5="",DealerIDList,INDEX(DealerIDColumn,MATCH( D5,LoginColumn,0))) =OFFSET(DealerIDStart,MATCH(B5,DealerIDColumn,0)-1,1,COUNTIF(DealerIDColumn,B5),1) Much appreciated Paul |

Just use a similar technique for the 3rd list as the 2nd list, using the
value from the second list. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "stratmyster" wrote in message ...

the only problem is. if i have already got:
=OFFSET(DealerIDStart,MATCH(B5,DealerIDColumn,0)-1,1,COUNTIF(DealerIDColumn, B5),1) in the second cells data validation input line, how do i then add the first formula: =IF(D5="",DealerIDList,INDEX(DealerIDColumn,MATCH( D5,LoginColumn,0))) into that same space? because i need both formulas in their respective cells for it to work, but i dont undertstand how to incorporate them! (i no that the cell references would be different and the cell ranges would be named differently!) iv been looking at: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal13.html as a starter so you know what im talking about! thanks!x "Bob Phillips" wrote: Just use a similar technique for the 3rd list as the 2nd list, using the value from the second list. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "stratmyster" wrote in message ...

Why would you need both? Whenever I have implemented this, I add a simple
list in DV1, then an INDEXed list in DV2, DV3 etc. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "stratmyster" wrote in message ... the only problem is. if i have already got: =OFFSET(DealerIDStart,MATCH(B5,DealerIDColumn,0)-1,1,COUNTIF(DealerIDColumn, B5),1) in the second cells data validation input line, how do i then add the first formula: =IF(D5="",DealerIDList,INDEX(DealerIDColumn,MATCH( D5,LoginColumn,0))) into that same space? because i need both formulas in their respective cells for it to work, but i dont undertstand how to incorporate them!
