    Hi breadwinner,

    This looks like an Advanced Filter problem to me.

    The answer is dependent of a few things:
    1. Will your raw data change frequently or grow over time?
    2. Can the criteria range be on the Master sheet?
    3. Will you allow VBA behind your worksheets?

    Study a little Advanced Filter and give me answers to the above before I give an answer that might fit your needs.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Hey breadwinner,

    It will take me about a half hour to do what I think you need. I've asked you some questions to see if my answer will make sense. I'd also like to see exactly what you expect to see for an answer. You also need to show me you might understand Advanced Filters so you understand my answer....

    Also - at the age of 66, I don't respond positively to "Dude"! It might be cultural but I don't respond to "Dog", "Chief", "Brother" or "Gramps" either. We do this because we want to help others who are struggling for an answer. I'll help if you learn something in the process. Let me know when you have done some Advanced Filter examples on your data. You might also read about "Dynamic Named Ranges" as this will be used in my answer also.

    Re: Need help on Drop down list from data validation depends upon first value select

    Hi breadwinner,

    I started writing code and realized I'm doing the same thing that AutoFilter does. If you'd learn how to do AutoFilters, I believe you wouldn't need any VBA.

    Read about it at:
