    Dynamic Dropdown Based on Cell Value

    Hello,

    I have searched web for Dynamic Dropdowns however those solutions don't apply to my scenario.

    In the attached workbook in Lookup sheet, I need to select a State for each Product as a drop-down list. The list of States should come from Source sheet.
    If I select a particular State, the corresponding cell in the same row and in City column should show cities as a drop-down list based on the State selected.

    Another constraint is that the States with blank value are ignored to show in the drop-down for City (and hence it won't be possible to select Singapore since corresponding blank state is not selected).

    You forgot to update your profile about your real excel version. Attached file is not compatible with the excel version in your profile.

    Cool Re: Dynamic Dropdown Based on Cell Value

    is that what you want?

    defined Names
    INDIRECT() in the second DD

    Use Excel Tables to make it dynamic. Each list - Excel Table

    No, you have modified my source layout. I do not want direct modification of source since it gets updated from an external data source.

    If macro is a solution, then I can handle it. However I wanted to do this with Excel formulas. Please suggest.
