Greetings, Gurus,
Consider two text boxes formatted for data validation using list. The first box is for vehicle make, (Ford, Dodge, etc.), and the 2nd is for vehicle model, (Escort, Viper, etc.).
The first box is no problem, it references a list of all vehicle makes. In the 2nd box, I would like to ONLY list models available from the maker selected in the 1st box. My first thought was to simply name a BUNCH of different list, each containing the models for a particular make, and reference them in the validation, something like: (ecat is the name of the list containing ALL models)
There were two problems with this concept:
1. There were too many list for me to put them all in as "IF" statements.
2. Although the first couple worked, as I entered more list to choose from I encountered an invalid formula message. (This could be because I didn't have enough ")" at the end of the formula. I'm guessing I need a ")" for every "IF".) Or, maybe I'm supposed to add an "AND" statement.
Is there a way to condense the code, (and make it work), so that I can have approximately 50 validation list to choose from? Is there a better way to go about this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Hutch
