Hello,
I have looked and tried different things to create what I need but have been unsuccessful (Due to my lack of knowledge in excel).
I need to create a workbook for users with even less excel knowledge than me (Now I am in trouble!) They will be running excel 2007 or older.
Here's the idea.
I have a workbook with two sheets. Data and Listas. (This is for a spanish speaking audience)
The Listas sheet contains three lists. Column B list options will NOT change or have any more options added. List Name = Ingreso_Egreso. List Options: Ingreso, Egreso. This one I am good with.
This is where my problem begins:
The other two lists, Column D and Column F Will have items added, removed and modified. Therefore I need to have these lists be dynamic. By searching I have made the following list formulas:
=OFFSET(Listas!$D$2,0,0,COUNTA(Listas!$D:$D)-1)
=OFFSET(Listas!$F$2,0,0,COUNTA(Listas!$F:$F)-1)
for both. I don't really understand it but I think it creates a list based on only the cells that have values from D2 or F2 to the last value. Column D list is named "Ingreso" and Column F list is named "Egreso" (Which matches the options from the previous list)
OK, Now I need the options on the data sheet to be based on the lists.
On the data sheet, for column D I have data validation to allow a list and on the source I have =Ingreso_Egreso to allow only items from the "Ingreso_Egreso" List, so only possible values are: Ingreso or Egreso (This matches the names of my other two dynamic lists) and works...
However, on column F is where I need to see the options based on the input of column D so if column D = Ingreso, then give me the drop down options from the ingreso list and vice-versa. The formula I have on Column F is: Data Validation, Allow List and on source I have =INDIRECT(D2) and I get an error....
"Source evaluates to error" If I click Yes to continue I get no drop down options..
File is attached...
Can someone please help me!
Any advice and help is greatly appreciated..
Thanks...
