    Multiple choice from previous drop down selection

    Hi gang
    I't hoping for some help on my spread sheet, I'm trying to get a second drop down list in C10 from information supplied from drop down B10. Example: if I chose drywall C10 would then drop down to allow me to choose a item from the drywall list of another sheet "List". I've upload a work sheet to show my issue.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    ThanksScope sheet.xlsx

    use indirect data validation

    see attached

    Created named ranges for all your DV except for demo/landscape (because you cant have "/") in part of named range

    suggest either breaking this up or face some text combination to indirect
    like iferror/left/find

    Wow, Thanks humdingaling,
