    Creating Dependent Drop Down List using information from multiple worksheets

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a dependent drop down list from data that is on multiple worksheet. I do not want to combine the data into 1 table or sheet. For example I have my main dropdown built with the following selections: Essential, Essential Plus, and Unlimited. When I select Essential I want to be able to select from a drop down list from a list of items in the Essential tab (worksheet). I want to do the same thing for each of the 3 different selections in my main drop down list.

    Re: Creating Dependent Drop Down List using information from multiple worksheets

    Are the individual lists (i.e. "Essentials") congruous? i.e. Essentials list is in Sheet1!A1:A10, Unessentials is in Sheet2!C4:C18, etc.

    If not, it needs to be, even if you do it on a hidden sheet.
    If so, simply name the individual ranges using Name Manager and then, if your original dropdown is in A1, use
    =INDIRECT(A1)
    Does that help?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires
