How can i create 3 dependent drop down list with the 3rd drop down depending on 1st and 2nd list?

Here is my list of data. For Dropdown3, I will want the dropdown to be dependent on BOTH Dropdown1 and Dropdown2. Kindly note that some of the values within Order Information/Shipping Information under Proforma Invoice/Draft Shipping docs/Final Shipping docs can be the same and it can be different too . As such I will need the 3rd dropdown list to be dependent on BOTH Dropdown 1 and Dropdown2

    See the attached sample workbook.

    Select C2 on the Data Entry sheet and click Data Validation on the Data tab of the ribbon to see the formula I used. It is

     

    =OFFSET(Lists!$C$1,MATCH(1,(Lists!$A$2:$A$27=A2)*(Lists!$B$2:$B$27=B2),0),0,COUNTIFS(Lists!$A$2:$A$27,A2,Lists!$B$2:$B$27,B2),1)

      It looks like it is exactly I have been looking for, but for some reason your Dropdown3 is not working.

      Could you please let me know how to fix it?

      Thanks a lot!

        It looks like data validation has to be refreshed when the workbook is opened.

        The attached new version is now a macro-enabled workbook; you may have to allow macros when you open it. I hope this works for you.
