  • I do not know. Try posting to:

  • I'm pulling from a seperate sheet so idk if that's the issue but i get the reply... The list source must be a delimited list, or a reference to single row or column when i do the final step of 'Data Validation'

    Help???

  • I do not know. Try posting a question to THE best Excel question site:

    mrexcel[dot]com

  • Can I have additional drop-downs based on the selection i've made in the first cell. i.e Can I have two different Data Validations based on my first selection? eg. I select something from a drop down in cell A1, and then based on A1, select something in B1, and again based on A1, select something in C1? I Hope I have not confused you.

  • Cool! I am glad the trick from Contextures worked so well!!!

  • Incredible. Instantly going to switch my Files from Index to Offset. That even solves the issue I had with the empty cells in the drop down fields (used a combo box instead of data validation, where formulas in the reference do not work).

    Had to extend it by a lookup, but from there on it was thx to this video easy game.
