    Conditional drop-down list

    Hello,

    I want to use a different drop-down list in a cell based on the content of another cell.

    Example:

    IF A1="BF1" - for current cell, use drop-down list in column G
    IF A1="BF2" - for current cell, use drop-down list in column H

    Is this possible? If not, is there another way to do this?

    Best regards and thanks in advance.

    seems like this should do the trick...

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =IF($A$1="BF1",G:G,IF($A$1="BF2",H:H,""))



    although you do end up with some blanks in your dropdown, you're probably better off defining the range specifically = i.e. G2:G5, H2:H5. or if they're of a dynamic size, offset($G$2,0,0,count(G:G))
