    Second column of unique drop down list entires not recognizing all unique entries

    So basically I followed this:

    ...to make the file I attached. Right now I have no idea as to why column B of the Functions sheet only displays 3 out of the 6 unique entries. What do I need to change to make it display as many unique entries as possible?

    Remove +(Airline<>CName!$A$2) from the formula.

    Oh sorry, I forgot to specify! The whole point is that when you pick the first drop list option (airline), it narrows down the second drop list options (destination) to the destinations unique to what airline you picked.

    Change +(Airline<>CName!$A$2) to +(Airline<>Query!$B$1)

    Doesn't work either, it returns the #N/A error for the first 7 rows and the #VALUE! error for the rest.

    ObiWanBaloney,

    Attached is a modified version of your posted workbook. I made a few changes to the named range formulas and to the formulas on the Functions worksheet. It now seems to be working properly. It is important to note that the CName worksheet will need to be sorted by airline (I also did this) to keep it working properly. So when you add rows to the cname sheet, just do a sort and it'll be fine.
