I'm trying to validate data across multiple fields.
For example, I have 3 columns: city, state and zip in one worksheet. If I validate the city field on a different worksheet, then I'd like to have state and zip appear as well.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks!
You can use formulas to get the respective state, zip... VLOOKUP()
e.g.
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!A:C,2,FALSE) would get the state from Sheet1 column 2 where column A has a matching city to the one you chose in A2 of active sheet.
and
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!A:C,3,FALSE) would get the zip code from column C
