    Question Need Macro Code to 'update' drop down list

    I have been trying to find a solution to this, but since I can't code and have not much knowledge with excel Macros, I have come here for help!

    So my problem is; I have a drop down list where one chooses what show they like. Then to the right, I have another drop down list (that uses =Indirect) to show what episodes are coming up.

    The problem is that when the user picks their show, the second drop down menu (the coming up episodes) still shows the previous picked show's episode, although if you click on the drop down arrow - it will show the right ones.

    What I want is for that 2nd drop down menu to automatically 'refresh', without having to click on the 2nd drop down menu. Is there a Macro someone can give me, or write that will make it do this?

    Thanks in advance!

    Sure.

    I made a quick example one for you guys.

    So basically I wanted the 2nd drop down menu to somehow 'refresh' its self, when I change the first one.

    Thanks for the help. Although is there a way to fix this issue without using comboboxes? Since my main project is using data validation drop down lists throughout.
