Dependant Data Validation not sorted
Hi
I have a worksheet that contains legacy data that is being cleaned to conform to specific formats and conventions. I have another worksheet that uses this cleaned data to build a new database row. I want to put a drop down list in my database row worksheet that lists only the cleaned data. For Example Column A is the data to be cleaned Column B contains a formula that tells the end user that the data is OK or what about the data needs to be cleaned. ColA ColB AA12 OK aa13 Clean Letters BB03 OK CC4 Clean Numbers So my drop down list must contain the content of ColA where the content of ColB = OK i.e. AA12 and BB03. I've tried using Debra Daglish's Dependant Drop Down Sorted Lists solution ( http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal13.html ) with the formula changed so that the column goes to the left by 1, but as you can see, ColA has the sort. I get AA12 and aa13 in my drop down list. I have considered using Debra Daglish's Create Dependant Lists solution using the INDIRECT function, but if I understand it, every distinct occurrence in ColB's would have to have it's own named range. I can see that solution getting rather cumbersome. Can anyone suggest a solution? TIA |
