    Search Suggestion with formula not working

    Dear All,

    I've checked so many websites and able to get the formula for search suggestion in Drop-Down List with formula but couldnt able to understand how to retrieve only unique values

    =IFERROR(INDEX('Total Export Orders'!E$2:E$26,MATCH(ROWS(V$12:V12),G$12:G$56,0)),"") - Will retrieve the values from raw data to data validation list as it is i.e., without removing duplicates

    I've written formula as shown below to retrieve only unique values but not working.

    =IFERROR(INDEX(INDEX('Total Export Orders'!E$2:E$26,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($V$12:V12,'Total Export Orders'!E$2:E$26),0)),MATCH(ROWS(V$12:V12),G$12:G$56,0)),"")

    Best Regards
    Anil

    Hi laansesu,

    It sounds like you want to build a list of values for a dropdown that are unique. I'd do this using an advanced filter with a unique box checked. I'd then use a dynamic named range for the dropdown list. If you'd supply a sample workbook it would be easier to explain...

    See my example workbook where I do what I think you want.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Dear nflsales/MarvinP,

    Please refer the attached excel Receipts sheet for data validation list, which I'm trying to import unique values from Total Export Orders to data validation list as per respective header

    Ex: When I select DownRod as item, respective column values from Export orders should be shown which should be unique.

    I think it makes sense, if else let me know.

    I referred below links for doing my tasks

    for dependent data validation list:

    for search suggestion in dependent data validation list:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkPoViUhkxU

    for unique values in dependent & Search Suggestion list:

    Re: Search Suggestion with formula not working

    let suppose if I select Rotor as item & if I type 12 in the Model Picklist & want to see only 12mm nothing else

    another example is if I select Canopy in Item Picklist & if I type action, list with action in the word should appear in the model picklist.

    This is what Im expecting here but somehow I say Im succeed and even dissatisfied with the values that are being displayed when I type something in Model picklist

    Regards
    Anil T
