    Hello somu58,

    You state that
    ...when b3="e" then c3 can be either "GPA" or "NGPA".
    Since an IF THEN formula can only handle unique parameters, I believe, you cannot use the above requirement in any formula, or with custom Data Validation. That is why I have used a List with Data Validation.

    Regards.
