I have created four lists. List A is the main type list and List B, C and D
are the sub-types. Is it possible that by selecting a value in List A in a cell, I can call List B, C or D in another cell. Please help... |

i!
Are you talking about data validation drop down lists? If so, yes, you can do this. Need more detail for a better solution but in general this is how you would do it: The main list would contain the names of all the other lists. The selection made from that list would dictate which sublist is displayed in the other cell. See this: http://contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html Biff "Dire straits" <Dire wrote in message ...
