    userform combobox rowsources chosen by heading match to previous comboxbox selection

    Hello again.

    am working with a 3 tier nomenclature system (for biological systems)

    the 3 tier are:
    family
    genus
    species


    What I want are linked comboboxes in a userform that take their rowsource from a match in the previous colomn

    (ie. if I select the bear family in the family combobox then the genus combox will populate with range 3:100 in the bear column (using something like hlookup as the bear column will have a header that matches the family combox entry).

    I will also need to return additional information from the column next to the bear colum (genus descriptions). is there a way to be a match offset in an array for that when I select a genus, it will find that one and return the text of one cell to the left?

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

    Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
    Hope that helps.
