    Drop-down list based on another cell value

    2016-02-16_195805.png

    Simple question maybe, help pls.
    Column A (not unique values), Column B (unique values).

    In F and G columns need dropdown list, based on A and B columns values. If category 1 (1st drop-down) then can choose one from all values for that category (drop-down 2).

    Looks simple, but in column A values are not unique... And it not comfortably
    And I need to avoid any helper columns.

    Re: Drop-down list based on another cell value

    Assuming your Drop Downs are in F2 and G2-

    First you need to create two helper columns to extract the required data.

    In this example I am using Column J and Column K as the Helper Columns.

    So in cell J2 use this formula-

    and in cell K2-

    Now create two drop-downs with range J2:J till end and K2:K till end..

    I thought that could be avoided helper columns, but how I can understand browsing many examples in internet forums - it's no possible.
    Thank you very much for your response, It is useful for me.
