    Trouble creating a dependant drop down list

    Hi all,

    I am trying to create a drop down list where the selections in the 2nd list are dependant from what is chosen in the first.

    The first list however has spaces in the words so when I rename the cells for the second list I receive the error message "you must enter a valid reference you want to go to, or type a valid name for the selection"

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.
