Trying to specify a lookup list from a specific cell's contents

**jrg123** · 05-22-2012, 12:18 PM

I have a drop down (look up list) labeled Equipment that retrieves information from another sheet in my workbook.

I have a second field labeled Equipment Sub Type where I need a drop down list based on the information retrieved in the Equipment Field.

Each item in the Equipment List Drop Down has a corresponding list in my lookup sheet of my workbook.

Hopefully this makes sense. I can post a sample book but could not figure out how to do that on this forum. Thanks for any assistance.

It sounds like you need a "dynamic named range". You can either google this, and see if you can figure it out, or upload a sample workbook, and I'll have a look.

To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'. To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.

On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'. Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments. You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page. Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.

To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file. To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page. Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.

Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window. You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

Thanks Soren. I am not familiar with Dynamic named ranges but I will take a look. I have also attached a sample workbook containing what I am trying to do if you could take a look. Thanks again.
