    Multiple Data Validation Lists

    I'm looking to create quality tracking spreadsheet and need to include multiple dependent drop down lists.

    Essentially, I'm looking to drill down by department...so once the department is selected, that will narrow down the rejection type and machine number...but I don't know how to get past the 2nd level of data validation.

    I've attached an example of the information I would be working with on a daily basis.

    Debra Dalgleish explains it very clearly on her web site here:

    Hope this helps.

    I have seen this, but I get confused regarding how to make the third drop down list dependent on the results of the first drop down list. It looks like this system flows from 1st list to 2nd and then to the 3rd and so on...
