    Data validation - Have assignments based on teams using validation

    Hello,

    I have tried to search for a solution for the problem I am having with my worksheet. I am trying to use Data Validation for creating drop downs for Project teams (B14). But then I want to have the drop down in (G14) to reflect/drop down only the people who are assigned to the given Project team.

    Is there a way to do this with Data Validation and Vlookup? Or is there another way I should be thinking about this?

    I have attached the spreadsheet that I am working off of. Currently I have the data validation pulling from the second sheet "Team-Data Validation".

    Thank you for the assistance, and sorry if this is an easy solution that I am overthinking.

    What you want is called cascading dropdown lists. There are several ways of doing this. For the way you have your data organized it looks like you can use the "classic" method of using Named Ranges.

    Do a web search on Excel cascading dropdown. Here's one: https://www.ablebits.com/office-addi...n-lists-excel/
    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.

    This is amazing. Exactly what I was looking for. I will toy around using cascading drop downs.
