I have been searching and so far been unable to find a solution.
I have site lists lots of them in a multiple dependent drop downs two of, and i need to add another drop down based on selections however the third drop down fields need only to be a few.
i.e.
State Based (7 selections) -> Street Address (minimum of 3, up to 20) -> Internal location (only need 3 different lists)
State
ACT
NSW
NT
QLD
TAS
VIC
WA
Each state has multiple addresses which has been defined in a list and set up as a dependent drop down and works without issue.
=INDIRECT($A$1)
Now here's the bit i need, when I select an address there are only 3 lists I need to select from, two of them are tied to a street address with a named list and the third list = AllOther.
This works without a problem however I would like / need it to default to a named list when it does not match either of the first two named lists. This way I don't have to make 100 or so other named lists.
I have tried searching and even tried working it out myself, but after many hours of frustration I am stumped.
I don't even know if it can be done or if I am on the right track, I would have thought one of the following would have worked. (in all cases with or without " around AllOther)
=IFERROR(INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A$2," ",""),"-","")),"AllOther")
=IFERROR(INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A$2," ",""),"-","")),INDIRECT("AllOther"))
=INDIRECT(IFERROR(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A$2," ",""),"-",""),"AllOther"))
=INDIRECT(IFERROR(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A$2," ",""),"-",""),INDIRECT("AllOther")))
Is this possible or am I on a goose chase.... and most importantly can anyone point me in the right direction.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
