    IF Function Return Drop-Down List

    Hello -

    Have a wide variety of values in column B. For each value in Column B, there should either be a drop-down list unique to that value or a blank. I am trying to use an if formula to return the appropriate drop-down list depending on the value in column B. For instance, if value in cell B2 = "Quality", return a list that includes: QA, QC.

    A) Is this feasible? B) How do I do it

    Many thanks,
    bRob

    Have you seen this thread? I'm not sure exactly what you want but this seems pretty similar.

    maybe you need to extract all the unique names from your list 1st, and then use that list to create the drop-downs that you want?
    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
