hi all
is it possible to set up something so the user of the spreadsheet can only complete a second data validation drop down option if the first has been selected?
Hopefully makes sense!
Thanks

Sort of.
Assume cells A1 and B1 contain drop down lists.
As the source for the drop down in B1 use something like this:
=IF($A$1<>"",List,#N/A)
Where List is a named range.
However, if the selection in cell A1 is cleared/deleted the previous selection in cell B1 is still there.
