    Thumbs up Need to Validate Cell data based on input from other cell

    So here is my scenario:

    Column A:
    Cats
    Dogs

    Column B:
    Tiger
    Lion
    Pugg
    Beagle

    So, if you select Cats in Column A - I only want you to see Tigers and Lions in Column B.
    If you select Dogs - you see Pugg and Beagle.

    How do i accomplish this?

    take a look at the attached, it is the same principle, just with different data. it uses named ranges and indirect()

    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
