    Dynamic Drop Down allows users to select invalid combinations

    Hello! I have a spreadsheet here which uses a dynamic drop down list. The user selects a customer in drop-down 1. Drop down 2 displays a list of products to choose from which are specific to the customer selected in the first. My issue is that if Customer 1 (for example) and one of their products is selected, the user is able to go back into the first dropdown and change it to Customer 2, and the value in the second drop down is still allowed to be a Customer 1 specific product. I think I could get around this with a macro, but I'm not amazing at them and I can't get it to work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance

    Administrative Note:

    Is your forum profile showing the Excel PRODUCT that you need this to work for?

    Members will tailor the solutions they offer to the Office PRODUCT (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date in this respect. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your product is for Mac, please also state this.

    The three most recent Excel products are Excel 2019, Excel 2021 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the version number in your profile (e.g. MS365 Version 2306). This is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.

    Thanks.
