    dropdown menu fill after selection first dropdown menu

    Hi everyone,

    I would like to show a validation list in the dropdown menu, after the user has made a selection in another dropdown menu.

    On sheet 1 you'll find a data list of different clubs and the members. For each club I've made a named range of the members (Club1, Club2, Club3)

    So the user selects a club in the first dd menu, which will fill the second dd menu with the members of that club.

    Unfortunately this results to a message that 'the source results to an error'

    Any idea what goes wrong?

    Thanks for your help

    You cannot use OFFSET with INDIRECT function or dynamic named ranges.

    Thank you John for your reply. After I've deleted the offset-formula, it worked.
    But is there a way so I can use the offset? The groups are always changing in size, so it would be practical to use the offset formula.
