    Formula associates to wrong cell...

    Hello Everyone,

    I'm using this formula to use cascading data validation lists:

    =INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(O2," ",""))

    I'd like this formula to not go to O2 but rather the cell left of the current cell with the formula in it. Is that possible?

    Many Thanks,

    Ellsworth

    Does this work?

    =INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()-1)," ",""))
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    not exactly. That pretty much popluated the current drop down cell with the info from the cell to the left. And I'd be happy with putting in the specific cell but I have 350+ rows that need this formula added.

    I am not sure I understand then...

    If you use your original data validation formula in say P2 so that it is referencing O2, then if you copy that cell or data validation down, it will automatically update to reference the relative adjacent cell.
