    Dependent Drop-down Lists

    I've got a bit of an oddball one that's doing my head in. I feel its more complicated than I'm anticipating

    I need two drop-down lists the second of which is dependent on the selection in the first.
    • For argument's sake, Column A has a dropdown with 9 options
    • If any of the green cells are selected, the second dropdown would give the green options in Column B 'Yes' or 'No'
    • If any of the yellow cells are selected, there is no option and only 'Maybe' would show.

    In theory I could do that but its terribly clunky, not to mention how do you manage List titles when spaces are involved?

    See if you can adapt this to your needs, it is a 3-level DD, but you can just use the 1st 2. It is based on using named ranged and INDIRECT()
