    Drop down list within drop down list

    Hello,

    I am not sure what this kind of drop down list is called. I want to create a drop down list that will have 4 choices (Red, Yellow, Green, and White). When I select red, another drop down list will show up (with in the same cell). This second list will have T-Shirt, Skirt, and Shoes.

    I can only find online that show how to create a drop down list in a cell, then when the selection is chose, THE OTHER selection will be in another cell. This is not what I want.

    Please point me to the right direction. Let me know what that is call and I will search it online.

    Thanks.

    Jackson

    Hi Jackson,

    I think you are looking for Cascading Dropdowns.

    I'm not sure you can redefine the dropdown in the same cell like you seem to want, without some VBA.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Marvin,

    I had done researched for this subject for the last 2 days. I believe this cannot be done without using VBA.

    Thanks for the help.
