    Formula Based on Multi-Level Data Validation Selection

    Greetings,

    I created 2 different tabs (‘Klause 19-9’ & ‘Hendrick 27-7’) with the same type of information (Date, Chemical Name, Type, etc.) on each tab. For further reference, see the attachment for example.

    Additionally, I created dependent data validation lists.

    Location:
    Klause_19_9
    Hendrick_27_7

    Date:
    Will bring up certain date(s), depending which location is chosen

    When you click under “select area” you are given either a choice for location. When you choose either, under “select date” you can that location’s listed dates, based on your previous selection.

    My question is:

    How do I create formulas that list the respective information (Date, Chemical Name, Type,) from the selected tab based on the desired date/location? Also, if there is multiple data entries for a single date, will they both be listed?

    Thanks much for all contribution and assistance!

    try the array formula and index/small along with indirect.

    look sample file.

    Vlady,

    Thanks for the response. It worked smoothly with Klause 19-9. However, when I clicked on Hendrick 27-7, I tried to change the date (from 1/15 to 1/14) and was not able. Therefore, I was not able to adjust to Hendrick's data. How can i change this? Thanks again for your assistance!

    in your data validation list -just click the range of the list without using the indirect

    the source would be =C2:D2 in the data validation list

    Vlady,

    Thanks for the response.

    What I am trying to do is be able to SELECT LOCATION:
    Klause 19-9 or Hendriick 27-7

    ...if Klause 19-9 is selected, then I can SELECT DATE for the information from the available date(s) [1/15/2013].
    ...Likewise, if Hendrick 27-7 us selected, then I can SELECT DATE for the information from the available date(s) [1/14/2013].

    I apologize but I do not understand your recommendation. Is there any way you could show a visual represenation of what you are referring to? Thanks!

    Vlady,

    Whenever I try to switch from Klause 19-9 (which shows your formula = all the data) to Hendrick 27-7, no data displays for that location?

    I'm officially stuck, lol!

    Re: Formula Based on Multi-Level Data Validation Selection

    bebo021999,

    After your speedy assistance this afternoon, I began to "clean up" my document by editing the visual format (color, layout, etc). However, something I did messed up some of the columns in the table you created.

    Additionally, I added another data point (previous service date). I have tried to figure out your formula by copying its format so I can add the data to the table, but have been unsuccessful. Would you mind taking another look at and let me know where to go from here?

    Again, I'm very grateful for your assistance!

    These are array formula should be confirmed by holding ctrl-shift then hit enter (not enter only)

    Re: Formula Based on Multi-Level Data Validation Selection

    I played around with "ctrl" + "shift" + "enter" for a while and finally got it to work!

    Again, thanks so much for all your help!
