    Filter a table to give the rows to data validation

    I have a range with 2 columns
    1 a
    1 b
    3 c
    3 d
    2 e
    2 f
    In a cell I want to have data validation for example all the values from column 2 from the above range where the first column is 3.

    How can I do that?

    Sorry for my poor understanding. Maybe you can give example, how is the result for cell C2. Thanks
    I hope other who understand your question can help you.

    remark:Data validation is an Excel feature that you can use to define restrictions on what data can or should be entered in a cell.

    A couple of questions...

    What version of Excel are you using?

    Is the data sorted or grouped together in the first column as your sample demonstrates?
