    Drop down lists dependant on previous drop down list

    Hi,

    Is there any way that I can have drop down lists that are dependant on the previous drop down list?

    For example in my sample workbook I have Continents, Countries and then Cities. If Europe was selected in the first drop down list then in the second only the countries in Europe would appear, and then if England was selected in the second list, only the cities in England would be available in the third drop down list.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Unfortunately I don't have access to videos where I am at work so I am unable to go through all of this guide. I did stumble across this before but had to try and find another way of understanding a solution to my problem.

    I also don't have Microsoft Office at home so that poses another issue for me.
