I am trying to make a list of monthly trips for our transport company.
I have been trying to use Data Validation drop down lists to make the entries into the list from a set of data.
The idea is that you select the Account, then the Client Name (limited by the Account), then the Pick Up (limited by both the Account and Name), and finally the Drop Off (limited by all three).
The problem I am having is that when I use the list it is SLOW. I know that there are (I hope) faster ways to get the results I need.
The workbook however is to big to post, so I have trimmed it way down.
The attached workbook has the basics in it.
On the 'Daily' tab is the list I am trying to make.
On the 'List' tab is the data I am using.
On the 'Sheet4' tab is the sort/formulas (most of them, just realized that this version still has some of the formulas on the 'Daily' tab).
I have tried to use the Indirect and the Offset formulas in the DV source, but the results still need to be filtered somehow to eliminate duplicates.
Would I need to create sub-lists of the data for each of the possible combos and sort them. And then somehow have the DV reference the correct sub-list?
I have heard of using Pivot Tables to sort this kind of mess, but how would I connect that into this list?
Any and all help will be appreciated.
