Hello All,
I am trying to help out a friend who works in manufacturing. The model being manufactured contains 5 parts that can have different choices of materials for each. My friend needs a dropdown for each part so he can choose which material to use for that part. Some of these materials can be used on multiple parts (refer cells A1:I6 in attached WB) for e.g. Material H can be used on parts #3-#5 but not on parts #1 or #2.
I need to create 5 separate data validation lists - 1 unique dropdown for each part - using the table (cells A1:I6) in the attached WB. I can't think of a way to create these dropdowns using formulas so that they only include the materials marked TRUE for that particular part (e.g. dropdown for Part #5 should only allow materials C & H. dropdown for Part 3 should only allow E, F & H).
Can anyone please help me out? Thanks.
