    Dropdown menu - autmatically populates

    Hello everyone,

    hoping there is a way around this without endless dependent dropdown lists.

    I have a huge file with Names of products. All the products have subcatagories.

    I want to be able to type in the name of a product and then in the next cell have a dropdown menu that is automatically populated with the subcatagory types.

    Hope you have an idea, a solution or a kick in the right direction.

    You can use pivot table and Slicers, where the slicers will automatically grey out anything that is not relevant, otherwise you will likely need a lot of dependent lists.
