    Attach a sample workbook. (Not a picture!)
    Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate.
    Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.
    Remember to desensitize the data.
    Note: Please do not attach password protected workbooks/worksheets
    Ensure to disable any Workbook Open/Autorun macros before attaching!

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    Re: Combine 2 drop-down lists into one another

    Thanks a lot Sandy 666 , I will upload it now hope it will help.

    So basically what I need is to C17 and C18 cells a drop-down lists (as they already are) but to include both values (attributes) from the selected Aspects in the cells C15 and C16. So if in C15 there is selected "Strong and Resolute" and in C16 is selected "Acurate and Aware" , then C17 and C18 should have the values of "Brawn","Willpower","Awareness","Intelligence". If the user selects other Aspects in C15 and C16 , then C17 and C18 should have the corresponding values of Attributes.

    Hope it helps, this is the excel file below :

    Re: Combine 2 drop-down lists into one another

    Yes I did read it. I guess you are talking about the BEFORE and AFTER you mentioned. I don't know exactly what you mean by that. I cannot make the "after" part. If what I did wrong was to use another site to upload the file I will try it again.

    Please let me know if it's ok now

    Re: Combine 2 drop-down lists into one another

    Yes I uploaded the before and I explain what I need for the after hehe sorry my english isn't that good . If you see the file at the cells C17 and C18 the drop-down list includes only the value of one "Aspect", I just need to make these cells have the combined values of attributes from both options

    Edit: And if possible to make this without using VBA since I am not familiar with it :/ if there is no other way but to use VBA then ok
