    Ignoring blanks in dynamic data validation drop-down

    Hello all -
    I have an excel sheet which generates a price of a particular piece based on several criteria.


    In my data validation, I have this formula - =OFFSET(Price!$C$2:$C$21,0,A3-1)

    When the user enters a diameter for a particular piece (or row), this generates the possible "widths" for that diameter which becomes a drop-down.

    For some diameters, the widths are BLANK, or they don't exist in that range C2:C21.

    Is there any way to filter out the blanks so that my drop-down contains only numbers, without using nested if statements?

    Thank you!

    Here is a link to an article that talks about removing blanks from a drop down list, which may be of use.
    To specifically address the issue with your set up I would suggest uploading a sample of your spreadsheet by clicking on the GO ADVANCED button below the Quick Reply window and then scrolling down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
