    VLOOKUP & Lists

    Pls can someone help with the following:

    I have a range called List that has 3 columns of data:


    Corporate Human Resources Services PMA
    Corporate Procurement Director
    Ops Central Customer Services Lost Property Office
    Ops Travel Information Travel Info Call Ctr
    Ops Travel Information Centres Travel Info Centres

    I have 3 columns on the entry sheet called Business Unit (Col A), Department(Col B) and Sub-Department (Col C). I want to limit the choice in column B to based on the selection in Column A in the form of a drop-down list e.g choosing Corporate gives a list of Human Resources Services; Procurement.

    I am using the list option for field validation and the following formula in cell B2:

    =INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(A2,List,2,0))

    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong as I don't get a list of options just a blank cell. Do I need to use a different formula other than VLOOKUP..?


    TIA
