Hello all,
I need some help on using functions with a validation list. There are three columns Catagory, Product and Pack size. How I would like it to work is 1st select a catagory from a validation list, then in the product column validation list will give a list of all the products in that catagory, then in the pack size column the pack size list will appear in the validation list. This works well until I want to clear the list. If I don't work backward by selecting the pack size and choosing blank then the product then the catagory. I have used the following formulas to try and get the lists in the corresponding row to show blank in the cell when I select the blank in the Catagory validation list. Product =IF(ISBLANK(A$2),"",CHOOSE(MATCH($A2,Catagories,0) ,Spirits,Liqueurs,Aperitiefs___Digestifs,Wines____ Champ,Boxed_Wines,Bottle_Beers,D_Beers,Minerals,Su ndries,"")) Pack size =IF(ISBLANK($A2),"",IF(VLOOKUP($A2,Cata01,2,FALSE) ="Volume",Volume,IF(VLOOKUP($A2,Cata01,2,FALSE)="M ass",Mass,""))) Minerals, volumes etc are range names. If you can help please do so, and if you can suggest a better function for the existing formulas and or method please do so. Thank you and best regards Max |
