    four level dependent drop down

    Hi,

    I am trying to create a 4 level drop down. I have each of the dropdown lists coded level 1-4 in name manager.

    I have tried to use index match to link first level to second etc but this isn't working.

    =INDEX(List!$G$2:$L$113,MATCH(Level1Code,List!$I$2:$I$113,0),1):INDEX(List!$G$2:$L$113,SUM(MATCH(Level1Code,List!$I$2:$I$113,0),COUNTIF(List!$I$2:$I$113,Level1Code),-1),5)

    Please can you help, it will be very much appreciated!

    Frances

    Re: four level dependent drop down

    To reference the info in your DD, you need to use INDIRECT()
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: four level dependent drop down

    Thank you John.

    Attached zip file was to large otherwise Is it possible to create dynamic dropdown for:
    Region
    County
    Local authority district
    Ward

    Is there a way that the dropdown only displays unique values?

    Thanks

    Re: four level dependent drop down

    I don't have 365 but you can use the UNIQUE function to get the various drop downs.

    Having selected a Region you need to have second list (dynamic) to extract Counties for the Region. And hence similar for the other drop downs.

    I suggest you post a a much smaller file 9as recommended in the yellow banner)
