    Drop-down leading to more Cells

    Hello everyone,

    I know this is possible but do not know how to make it.

    I have two options in a Cell as Applicable and Not Applicable. This is in a Drop-down menu and what I want is that when I choose Applicable, it should bring up additional 5 or 6 cells for me to complete. And if I choose Not Applicable, the additional cells should not show up. The default would be Not Applicable.

    Can somebody help please. Thanks in adance.

    Is your drop-down generated by Data>Validation>List ?
    Or is it a combobox?

    I think this is a feasible solution.

    Your drop down should ideally be Data Validation on cells.
    Then you use conditional formatting to make the additional 3 cells appear when "Applicable" is selected and stay greyed out (defaul format) when "Not Applicable" is selected.

    Yes. My drop-down menu is generated by Data>Validation>List.

    Thanks
