    INDIRECT function for Dependent Drop Down on separate sheet

    Hi,

    I want to create a Drop Down and a Dependent Drop down with the source data for each drop down on a different sheet (same workbook).

    When I do this, I cannot get the INDIRECT function to work. I'm 99% sure it's a reference thing, but for the life of me, I cannot get this to work.

    Can anyone assist or explain how to do it? I've attached a small example where it works if source data is on Sheet1, but not on Sheet2.

    Any help greatly received. Thank you!

    Welcome to the forum.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.
