    Unless I am missing something, there are two versions of the formulae that you are asking about that can be shortened to the following which may be easier for you to follow.

    Re: Drop Down Problem

    This should take you part way. I adjusted the ranges covered by the Data Validation ranges for the Drop Down Lists, created a new list for unique client name, a unique list will be developed for client type. I don't have the time to go further but I think that there is a possibility of creating the Data Validation lists in another more convenient way but that will take time to see how your workbook actually works and I just don't have the time at the moment.

    Re: Drop Down Problem

    I had add dropdown box (VBA) . I select some option from dropdown and excel shows datas related to data (Dropdown). I go to another sheet .And again return to same sheet (dropdown ) But now all data are gone. Again i have to select data from dropdown.

    is there any way to keep those data as it is? so that even i come from anotehr sheet, data are still there?
