Cascading dropdown lists all tied to first dropdown

I need 5 drop down lists.
Lists 2 through 5 are all dependent on list one.
I can get the drop down of list 1 and 2 but cannot get lists 3 - 5 to be dependent on list 1

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Actually I learnt something new today about INDIRECT and I might have the solution for you. I did not know that it could be used this way in a validation formula.

I could figure out the problem that you had. The INDIRECT was pointing to the same sheet System in all columns.

Here is a fix.
Step1
Create unique names for each of the Validation value sets
Like for example - System Sheet> Hospital (B4:B16) should be named with a prefix "Sys" to be named "Sys_Hospital"
similarly in the Event sheet "Eve_Hospital"
and so on and so forth

Step2
Modify your validation formula - Instead of =INDIRECT($D3), for SYSTEM column use the formula = INDIRECT("Sys_"&$D3) and for EVENT Column use the formula =INDIRECT("Eve_"&$D3)

I learnt something new today.

Thanks and Take care

Worked beautifuly!

Thanks!
