Can you link to a drop down list from another drop down list?
I've got a worksheet with some drop down boxes. I would like for the chosen
option to spawn other drop down boxes elsewhere in the worksheet. For example, if I have a box with: - Red - Green - Blue then someone chooses Green, I would like for another specific cell to display another drop down box with: - Tree - Frog - Car If they choose Red, then 3 other choices should appear in the "treefrogcar" cell... I hope this makes sense. I don't know how to do this. Thanks, DeNise |

See Debra Dalgleish's coverage of Dependent Lists:
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html Is that something you can work with? Post back if you have more questions. *********** Regards, Ron XL2003, WinXP "Kentucky Insurance" wrote: I've got a worksheet with some drop down boxes.

For instance would put the following anywhere in your workbook: ManU Tree Chelsea Ferrari Frog Sky Apple Car Water Then give each group a name, red, green and blue. If the first drop-down is in A1, then the second data-validation would be: =indirect(a1) Fortunately it is easier to do than to explain. Please let me know and I will send you a sample workbook.
