    Drop down list as formula result

    Hi,

    I would appreciate if you someone could please help me create a formula (with nested IF statements) that would have a drop down list (with the possibility of choosing an particular drop down option) as one of the results.
    Please see attached example.

    Thank you.

    Regards,
    Ron

    Re: Drop down list as formula result

    You can't have both a Data Validaton drop down cell and a formula with a condition that returns the list range or a constant

    This clearly a simplified example. Knowing the overall context of what your whole system is trying to do might help.

    You might need two connected conditional drop downs or maybe a helper cell or two. Difficult to say at the moment.
