    How can I clone a drop down list?

    Hi,

    I want to clone a drop down list from one sheet to another.
    The value and functionality of both drop downs must be the same, and change accordingly if one of the two is changed.
    How can I do this?

    This requires VBA. Attached is an example of cloning two cells. See code in ThisWorkbook module:

    I am sorry about that. It was leftover from something else I was working on. I reattached it in the same post.

    Thank you 6StringJazzer!
    Was hoping it could be done without vba, but will try your solution

    I've tried the sample you gave me, when I select one of the options on sheet 1, it is also shown on sheet 2.
    The other way around it doesn't work.
    Is that right?

    No, it's not right. I tested it both ways. I will check the file again.

    I just tested it again and my file works both ways. I can provide a demo video if you are still having trouble.

    Is the problem in the file I gave you, or are you using it in a different file?
