    Creating a Searchable drop down in a dependent drop down list

    Hello,

    I would like to my users to be able to search the site name in a dependent dropdown list (populates the list of site names based on the project selected)

    Is there a way to add a formula for that to the formula below.

    My dropdown list for this field is in the column range of AD thru AI


    =OFFSET($AD$3,1,MATCH($G4,$AD$3:$AI$3,0)-1,COUNTA(OFFSET($AD$3,1,MATCH($G4,$AD$3:$AI$3,0)-1,4000)),1)

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Not to imply that I can resolve the issue, however it may help someone propose a solution if we could see a sample workbook.
    Information on attaching a sample to your next post is given in the "HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK" banner at the top of the page.
    Let us know if you have any questions.

    Upload a SAMPLE file.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    It seems to me that the options in the drop-down in the site name column are already appropriate for the selections made in the project column.
