Dropdown List to return a unique value
- Oct 29, 2023
Hi,
I use TRANSPOSE + FILTER function to filter out client emails.
Then I put =$K2# in the data validation list for the drop down. so now you can choose which email to send.
(I attached the excel INV Mngmt_dropdownlist.xlsx here).
rachel HI Rachel, Thank you for the solution. the Column K formula stays the same right? i have over hundred clients do I pu down the fomula and it shall work same way?
Appreciate the help
You can put bellow in cell K2.
=IFERROR(TRANSPOSE(INDEX(FILTER(Table1,(Table1[Product_Name]=Table2[@[Product_Name]])*(Table1[Size]=Table2[@Size])*(Table1[Gender]=Table2[@Gender])),,MATCH(Table1[[#Headers],[Email]],Table1[#Headers],0))),"")
Then you can just pull down the formula. it shall work.

rachel Perfect,it is working as I needed it. Only one drawback if the Client cancels and I delete the clients email from the Client's Order List, the email stays in the drop down list on the allocation Column.

I just tried to delete a row in Client's Order List. The dropdown list refreshed.
I am using Office365 Desktop.Maybe you can try to set your "Calculation Options" to "Automatic".
