    Data Validation, clear data if parent dropdown is changed

    Hi

    My spreadsheet consists of drop down menu's that are reliant on the previous drop down.

    Let's say
    A1 - Sales/Variance
    A2 - Type of sale or type or variance
    A3 - Reason

    However, I have noticed that if all three have been selected and then A1 was changed from Sales to Variance, the drop down for A2 and 3 would now not be applicable as the options are different. How would I clear this?

    So far I am using Data Validation only.

    Thanks

    Re: Data Validation, clear selected dropdown if options are changed that are not within ra

    Can you upload the sample file. May be because it is dependent drop down list.

    For better understanding and fast result, upload the file here.

    Document Test.xlsm

    On the first tab, the key areas are rows 15-17

    The validations list are in tab [Master]

    Thank you
