    Multiple criteria data validation

    Hi all,

    I am trying to create a multiple criteria data validation drop-down list that then generates an output.

    Here is an example of what I mean Multiple data validation.xlsx

    I have 3 rows of information and I want to be able to select a firm in B4 and a fund in B5 that then outputs an ID in B6.

    I am looking for a way to do this with data validation list drop-downs but not sure how to.

    If anyone knows how to do it through data validation or if there is a better or easier way I would love to hear it.

    Thanks

    how about
    =FILTER(E3:N3,(E1:N1=B4)*(E2:N2=B5))

    Re: Multiple criteria data validation

    Is there a way to get the data validation drop down in B5 to be based on the one in B4.

    E.g., Given I have chosen firm Firm D, I can choose only Fund 1

    Re: Multiple criteria data validation

    i have done this using the idea from this website - with a name range
    https://www.myonlinetraininghub.com/...alidation-list

    this is the names range - could be on a different sheet - named "LIST"
    =Sheet1!$R$2:INDEX(Sheet1!$R$2:$AA$2,SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!$R$2:$AA$2<>"")))

    in R2 - i filter the results using
    =FILTER(E2:N2,E1:N1=B4)

    and in data validation use
    =LIST

    this stops the blanks in the range displayed
