    Data Validation

    I have designed an order form using excel 2010 and wanted to know if I have used data validation in a cell to list my product type is it possible to have the material type only offer the materials available based on the selection made in the product type cell?

    Re: Data Validation

    Can you tell us what exactly the expectations are? What materials do you want to appear for each specific product?
