    Dynamic Dependent List - Data Validation

    Afternoon,

    Looking for 2 data validation formulas for:

    1. Drop down menu (E2) to list only distinct values from "Agency" column. E2 drop down menu should adjust dynamically as more Agency names are added to column A.
    2. Drop down menu (G2) to list only distinct values from "Sites" column AND dependent on E2 selection. So if "Kepler Specialist" selected in E2, only "Daufny Day Program" and "Art and Foods" should be listed in drop down. Of course blanks should be ignored....

    thanks

    Awesome.....Thanks for fast answer Caracalla. How can I make first list dynamic so it adjusts as I add new data to it? I thought I could by creating a table but I can not reference the table in data validation.

    The data validation updates automatically if you add or remove data to the table.

    Sorry for my English
