    Dropdown list based on a key.

    Hi everybody.

    I am having so much trouble trying to make this work.

    The problem is this:

    I am dealing with about 3000 entries.

    In one sheet I have this information:
    TABLE01

    mukey Comp_Domt
    127961 Philo
    2401228 Pope
    2401229 Nelse
    2401230 Craigsville

    mukey is a single instance, this number does not repeat in this table.

    But in another table this mukey has 4~5 components:

    TABLE02
    mukey compname
    127960 Axis
    127961 Beaches
    127961 Klej
    127961 Purnell
    127961 Runclint
    127961 Acquango
    127962 Bibb
    127963 Bibb variant
    127964 Butlertown
    127964 Mattapex
    127964 Unnamed soils
    127964 OTHELLO

    I would like to create on TABLE01 under 'Comp_Domt' a dropdown menu for each mukey showing a component list with the same key from the table 2
    That way I would select what component from the list represents best that mukey.

    If I click in 'philo' on TABLE01 I want a dropdown menu with these Items from TABLE02 : Beaches,Klej,Purnell,Runclint,Acquango for me to select.

    Any help on solving that would be awesome.

    Thank you so much!

    Hey Jdevil! Thanks so much for replying!

    Indeed, It is something like that... But the drop down would be in front of each 'mukey' from TABLE01.
    And it would show a list of components that have the same 'mukey' from TABLE02. I dont even know if this is possible..

    This is the file, I managed to do this listing on the last sheet. But I would need it as a drop down in front of each mukey from the first sheet.

    I'm pretty sure you're going to need VBA if you want 3000 different dropdowns
