    How to create a dependent dropdown list that is dependent on a cells name?

    Hello,

    I tried making a dependent dropdown list that depends on what's in cell and not another list; I am having difficulty.

    On the D column, the rank "Officer" or "Enlisted" appears depending on what the user picks from Column A's dropdown for each member.

    If column D displays "Officer", then I would like a dropdown list showing the "Officer List" (column I) to appear in E column as a dropdown list.
    If column D displays "Enlisted", then I would like a dropdown list showing the "Enlisted List" (column H) to appear in E column as a dropdown list.

    For example,
    -if A4 is graded as "O3", then B4 will display "Captain" and D4 will display "Officer." I would like E4 to have a drop-down list that displays all the choices on the I column (Officer List).
    -if A25 is graded as "E3", then B25 will display "Airman 1st Class" and D25 will display "Enlisted." I would like E25 to have a drop-down list that displays all the choices on the H column (Enlisted List).

    Has anyone ever done something like this?

    I've included an attachment.

    This, I think is probably what you need. See if you can adapt it to your needs. It uses names ranges, a list for each category and sub category, then uses INDIRECT based on the named range
