Hello,
I have excel 2019 version, so UNIQUE and FILTER won´t work.
I can´t use OFFSET also.
What are the possibilities to get multiple data validation in 2019 version?
Example added:
1 data validation: list of Projects from B column (Projects and works sheet)
2 data validation: list of works from C column (Project and works sheet) depending of projects
Hi.
Here's a workaround with a helper table:
I list unique project names with this array formula in cell I2 of Projects and works tab, copied across:
Formula:
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$3:$B$12,MATCH(1,(COUNTIF($H$2:H2,$B$3:$B$12)=0)*($B$3:$B$12<>""),0))," ")
This formula in cell I3, copied across and down will list work titles under each project name:
Formula:=IFERROR(INDEX($C$3:$C$12,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($C$3:$C$12)-ROWS($C$1:$C$3)+1)/($B$3:$B$12=I$2),ROWS($C$1:$C1)))," ")
Data validation in Sheet1!B3 can be a hard coded range:
='Projects and works'!$I$2:$K$2
Then this formula for the data validation in C3:
Formula:=INDEX('Projects and works'!$I$3:$K$7,0,MATCH($B$3,'Projects and works'!$I$2:$K$2,0))
Please run some test and let us know how it goes.
Good luck!
Thank you, it works good enough for me

Try in Sheet Projects and works
D1Formula:=CELL("contents")
A3copy downFormula:=IF(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH($D$1,'Projects and works'!B3)),MAX($A$2:A2)+1,0)
F3copy downFormula:=IF(SUM(1/COUNTIF($B$3:$B$12,$B$3:$B$12))>=ROWS($F$2:F2),INDEX($B$3:$B$12,MATCH(1,--(COUNTIFS($F$1:F1,$B$3:$B$12)=0),0)),"")
create name manager naming dropdown and pate below one in refers to
Formula:=OFFSET('Projects and works'!$F$7,,,COUNTIFS('Projects and works'!$F$7:$F$23,"?*"))
in Sheet 1
Create drop down in B2 refer to range F2:F4 of sheet Projects and works
