    Comments in Drop Down Box dependent on number selected in adjacent cell

    I'm at my wits end! I've been searching and searching and searching!

    I have been asked by my supervisor to make a performance review template a little bit more user friendly.

    Basically what I have is a drop own list in cells in one column (various cells with the same drop down menu) that you select from either 0-10 in a drop down box.

    I have another cell which I want to have a drop down box with text comments that you select from when. Only problem is the comments different dependent on the ranking score you give a person (the number selection in the previously mentioned cell from 0-10). So if you have a score between 9-10 in the cell then the comments box will give you certain comments to choose, 7-8 different comments and so on and so forth.

    Help! I have no idea where to start

    These are called Dependent drop downs. There are 100s of threads on this forum regarding them, try the search function up in the right corner.

    If you are unable to work it out from the many ready-to-read examples, come back and post a more complete example with a sample workbook that fully demonstrates your values and comment options, we'll help you set it up.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.
