Drop down lists that auto create and then filter the next drop down list
I'm trying to set up a spreadsheet using drop down menus
I currently have some 120 rows. In the first column the are 4 possible choices of form (approx 30 records will have this value). However these values will change regularly and I dont' want to keep looking to see what they are. In the second column are names. When I select the form I only want the second column to have the names of people from that form. I can do this using Autofilter if the records are on the same sheet but I would have to hide a lot of rows and columns that I don't want the user to see. I would like do the filtering on one worksheet, while the data is held on another. On the first worksheet I would display a range of graphs etc. based on the data found Does that make sense? Thanks |
