    Multi Data Validation

    I want to create a multi data valdation

    Right now the user selets from a drop down list in Col 1 which then gives the user a drop down list to select from in Col 2 based off of their choice in Col 1. I need to create another drop down list in col 3 that is also based on the col1 but is different data than col 2 offers. Is this possible? Right now my Col 3 just shows the same options from col 2.

    COl 2 is Indirect(a1) same with col3. Do I need to do a different type of indirect of vlookup?

    Any help would be great thanks.

    Re: Multi Data Validation

    Thank you for the links, unfortunately none of which help resolve the issue I am having.

    Heres an examples.

    First drop down list is states

    Illinois
    Michigan
    California

    Based off of the users selection the second drop down list gives a list of cities in the state.

    I want the 3rd drop down list to give a list of vendors that are in that state but not particularly from that city. I NEED it to be based off of the 1st column still like col 2.

    **data is just an example- it is not the actual data I am using. Thanks

    In that case you don't read well enough.

    Just look at the links well enough and learn how to do it yourself.
