    created Drop Down List

    I have a drop down list I created in cell: B3. I have another drop down in cell: B7 that has all my other info that goes with each zone. I've been trying to figure out how I can get the drop down in B7 to just bring back certain criteria when you select an item in the first drop down list B3.
    Example when I select Zone 1 in B3, B7 will only show me (602000,602600,603000,603700,605500)

    Select Zone 2, (605000,605100,605200 and so on.)

    I tried to use data validation but no luck so far. Also I have included a test book to look at.

    thx,

    re: created Drop Down List

    This is done with NAMED RANGES and an INDIRECT() formula for data validation.

    I created a named range called Zone1 by highlighting C18:C22 and typing Zone1 into the name box (just to the left of the formula bar.

    I repeated with all the other ranges.

    Then I changed your data validation formula in B7 to =INDIRECT(B3).

    You should be able to take it from there.
