Data completion
hey, i have couple of questions :
i would like to know how can i make my workbook to compute the next example
column A contains a TV type - that have been selected from a list - Data authentication
column B contains a TV mode and details - also selected from a list - Data authentication
qustions:
1 - I want that the list in column B will change according to the selected option in column A.
for example - if i choose option 1 (from the given list) in column A, i could choose the next option from list X in column B, and if i choose option 2 (from the given list) in column A, i could choose the next option from list Z in column B.
2 - I want that column C will compute the price of the specific TV that have been chosen from the options i choose in column A and B.
Thanks for all the helpers.

1) you can do it via Conditional Data Validation

2) After that you can use Vlookup function to pick up price for a particular model
If you want me to build the entire model for you, please share the file with all the info

It looks like you need to use dependent drop-down lists technique, sample is here https://www.excel-easy.com/examples/dependent-drop-down-lists.html and you may google for more tutorials.
i did all the steps as ritten, when i try to do the INDIRECT function i get an erorr,
"the original value is an error, would you like to continue?"
when i click "YES" i get no drop-down list
