three data validation tables related to each other
I want to be able to relate the tables to the one previous to it.
If 'James' is picked from CLIENTS, I would like only 'James Job 1' and 'James Job 2' to be shown from JOBS. If 'James Job 2 'is picked, then only 'James Job 2 Function 1' and 'James Job 2 Function 2' and 'James Job 2 Function 3' to be shown from FUNCTION. I have tried the INDIRECT function and made it work with 2 tables, but can not seem to make it work with 3 tables. eg: CLIENTS James Arthur JOBS James Job 1 James Job 2 Arthur Job 1 Arthur Job 2 FUNCTION James Job 1 Function 1 James Job 1 Function 2 James Job 1 Function 3 James Job 2 Function 1 James Job 2 Function 2 James Job 2 Function 3 Arthur Job 1 Function 1 Arthur Job 1 Function 2 Arthur Job 1 Function 3 Arthur Job 2 Function 1 Arthur Job 2 Function 2 Arthur Job 2 Function 3 |

three data validation tables related to each other
It would be easier to show you through a sample file than try to explain it
in writing! Sample file: DV.xls 14.5kb http://cjoint.com/?cneUGXwjf1 I've also used conditional formatting to "clear" the dependent cells when a new unrelated selection is made.

three data validation tables related to each other
Hi T.Valko,
Thanks for the solution, it worked great. How can do the same "relationship" without matching up the words. eg CLIENTS James Arthur JOBS Website (James Job 1) Support (James Job 2) Programming (Arthur Job 1) Support (Arthur Job 2) FUNCTION Project Management (James Job 1 Function 1) Analysis (James Job 1 Function 2) Technical Design (James Job 1 Function 3) Deployment (James Job 2 Function 1) User Acceptance Testing(James Job 2 Function 2) Product Server Maintenence (James Job 2 Function 3) Project Management (Arthur Job 1 Function 1) Support (Arthur Job 1 Function 2) Timesheet (Arthur Job 2 Function 1) File server ackups (Arthur Job 2 Function 2) Production server maintenance (Arthur Job 2 Function 3) There are likely to be about 10 clients, each with one to 4 jobs. I would like to have many functions, that relate to the jobs - some may have 10 functions with detailed descriptions. Also, I would like to have the Clients, Jobs and Functions on a different worksheet. Sounds like a tall order! I have tried to give each client in CLIENTS a number in a separate column using the indirect function from Contextures 01 and 02, and then use that to do the data validation in JOBS. But I could not get it to work. Another problem that I have is that the Clients in CLIENTS are not just 'one word' clients, so it makes it difficult to name the JOBS. I am in a mess and really need help! Is what I want to do possible? "T. Valko" wrote: It would be easier to show you through a sample file than try to explain it in writing!

three data validation tables related to each other
Ok.....
What you have to do is create a hierarchical list that relates to each client. If you have 10 clients then you have to create 10 lists. This could really be a lot of work if you had 100's of clients! Here's an updated sample file: DV2.xls 22kb http://cjoint.com/?cpfLNoqTV4 Sheet1 has the drop downs and Sheet2 is the source data. On Sheet2 the cells highlighted are all defined names that refer to the data immediately below each highlighted cell. I removed all the stuff in ( ) from your sample data. In this sample file I've used an event macro to clear the drop down cells when an unrelated selection is made. You can see the code by right clicking on the Sheet1 tab and selecting View Code. If you check the formulas for the drop down sources you'll notice that they're are much simpler than those in the previous sample file. Biff "Susan" wrote in message ...

Both of those links have expired.
I still have the one sample file that uses an event macro to clear the drop down cells when a change is made. Do you want to see that one? Let me know and I'll post a fresh link.
