    Unhappy Using Drop Down lists - how to filter?

    Hi sorry for the non descriptive subject line.

    I have an excel sheet with lots of data and drop down lists. I would like to make it so that when I select a dropdown list in one cell, in the next cell it will automatically show the correct related drop down list.

    Does this make sense, they will be quite a few different choices depending on what has been selected.

    If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.

    Ally

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    Never use Merged Cells in Excel

    Hi

    Sorry, I didn't realise - I just didn't know what I was trying to ask.

    I have now edited the Title.
