    Is there a way to populate Data validation list from data range for certain selected range

    Hello:

    Please refer to attached file.
    Is there a way to create Data Validation automatically based on value chossen in cell k1 and choosing data from Column O:R.
    Put data validation list in cell G1 based on cell value in K1.

    Here i have selected Bi-Weekly and have manually created Data validation list.
    If I select Semi-Monthly or Monthly then i have to redo.

    Let me know if you have any questions.
    Thanks.

    Riz

    Yes. This is called dependent drop-downs.

    Make each of your columns into separate tables, name them, and use the formula =INDIRECT($K$1) for the DV in cell G1.

    See attachment.

    Try using the following formula in the Source field of the Data Validation:

    =INDEX($O$2:$R$34,0,MATCH($K$1,$O$1:$R$1,0))
