Multiple Validation Lists
Hi,
I'm trying to create an order form and want to use a validation list in A1 with ACCESSORY selections PROP, INSTRUMENT, HARNESS etc and based upon that selection, I want another list in B1 which gives options available for PROP, i.e. PROP (choices in next list - size B1, B2, B3 etc) INSTRUMENT (choices - tachometer, voltmeter, etc) HARNESS (choices - 3m, 6m, etc) I will then use a vlookup formula in C1 to return the part # from ACCESSORIES array, and A1:C1 would be copied to A1:C20 so that up to 20 accessories could be selected. Results in C1:C20 would then feed into an order form. I just don't know how to create multiple validation lists for the same cell (B1), dependent upon what is selected in A1..... Should I be using something else (INDEX)? Thanks! Alison |
