    Check out this tutorial on how to use dynamic named ranges for your source lists, but use OFFSET() formulas in your Data Validation lists to keep from having the INDIRECT() problem.

    DYNAMIC CASCADING DROP DOWNS THAT WORK, no INDIRECT PROBLEM

    For more specific assistance, you will need to click GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to post up a copy of your workbook.
