    Filtered List in Data Validation

    Hi,

    Is there a way to make Excel display a filtered list based on a Data Validation range? For example:

    Sheet1:

    Column A            Column B - data validation set to List (Sheet2!$B$1:$B$100)
    store1
    store2
    store3

    Sheet2 (contains a list for Data Validation of column B on Sheet1):

    Column A            Column B
    store1            product1
    store1            product2
    store1            product3
    store2            product4
    store3            product5
    store3            product6

    So, when I have "store1" in Sheet1:A1, I need Excel to filter the Validation List based on this value and display only "product1", "product2", and "product3" in the dropdown list for cell Sheet1:B1. Is it doable?

    Hi,

    I think you're looking for dependent drop down lists. There are a couple of ways.
