    Question Building multiple levels of cascading dropdowns in Excel

    Hello,

    I want to build multiple cascading dropdown lists in excel.. which means the dropdown of Column 2 is depended on the selection of Column 1 dropdown; while dropdown of Column 3 is depended on the value of Column 2.

    I am able to create the first level of cascading which the Column 2 dropdown is cascading from Column 1, but as the data validation of Column 2 is =indirect(Column 1), i am not sure how could i build the cascading dropdown for Column 3..
    Please help!

    In Column 3 the data validation is =indirect(Column 2) as it depended on the value of Column 2.
    And you need to build the lookup table of Column3 dropdowns, named as value in Column2.

    Is it understandable? Or you can attach the excel if necessary. Hope it helps
