    Dependent Data Validation Help

    Hello - I've read thru a few postings on dependent data validations but can't quite seem to get mine working properly. I have attached the spreadsheet with notes on how I want the two data validations to operate. On the 'Data' tab I have two data setup scenarios that I've attempted to use but can't seem to get it working with either. Please help if you can. Thanks soooo much Campaign x Month.xlsx

    pretty sure you can do it with some offset formula in named ranges but i cant think of it at the moment
    so went with indirect/Code/match combination

    hi MeCe. you could follow the guide to this link:
    http://www.excelforum.com/excel-tips...t-problem.html

    basically, you can do step 2 & 5 and skip step 3 since your months are a fixed number. so
    - Name D21 AnchorCell
    - Named Range for Campaign:
    =OFFSET(AnchorCell, 1, MATCH(Dashboard!$C$3,Month, 0)-1, COUNTA(OFFSET(AnchorCell, , MATCH(Dashboard!$C$3, Month, 0)-1, 50, 1))-1, 1)

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.
