    Possible to have 2 dropdown menus dependent on the same reference table?

    I'm trying to develop a table where when you select one Insulation Type from a dropdown menu, you are shown the possible options for start and end values for that insulation type. I know that you can do cascading dropdowns where one references, the other, which references another. But I need both the start and end options to populate based on the same reference - Insulation Type that's selected. I've thought about doing a workaround where the End dropdowns could reference the Start choices, but there are repeats in the Start Values so that's not possible.

    I highlighted in yellow the cells where I would like to see dropdowns that indicate the possible end value options based on the Insulation Type. Any help is appreciated.

    Where you have highlighted the cells where you want a formula in yellow, what would your expected results be?

    Is this table going to grow? Are there more insulation types and/or pairs of start/end values?

    You could extend the idea you have already used, by naming the End dropdowns as you have done for the start (eg. "AtticEnd").

    Then have your List source accordingly eg. =INDIRECT(A10&"End")

    Drag that down for as many rows as you need.
