    If cell blank don't allow data validation via a pull down list in a next cell

    Is there a simple way to if a cell is blank to not let the drop down list be accessed? I have a QNTY column and a couple of other columns with a Yes/No pull down list and what I would like to do if there is no quantity inputted then I would want those columns to be left blank.

    I appreciate the help.

    Mike

    Hello cwby44,

    I am not sure what you have where, but you may try experimenting with this formula in your Data Validation.

    =IF(B8<>"",$K$5:$K$15,FALSE) - Adjust Ranges to suit.

    Hope that helps.
