Nested drop down ignores some values

Hello together,

I created a nested drop down. The first drop down uses list of 5 values. These 5 values are used as headers for a table giving the data for the 2nd drop down by means of an "indirect" function. 4 of 5 have max. 5 values for the 2nd drop down and work well. The fifth option has 60 values available, thereas the first 5 are ignored. Someone any ideas why? I am not aware of such a strong limitation in number of values.

    Thanks! Look at Formulas > Name Manager (Formeln > Namens-Manager).

    The defined name Rost refers to =Eingabe!$D$11:$D$65

    It begins in row 11 instead of row 6. Change the definition to =Eingabe!$D$6:$D$65

     

    Also, Entschlacker should refer to =Eingabe!$C$6:$C$10 instead of =Eingabe!$C$5:$C$10

    Could you attach a small sample workbook demonstrating the problem (without sensitive data), or if that is not possible, make it available through OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or similar?

      I didn't find a possibility to attach files, so I tried my best to show the situation. Values in column D are only avalilable from D11 on, all others start with C/E/F/G6

        I'm afraid that doesn't help. Can't you upload a file to OneDrive or Google Drive, share it and copy/paste a link in a reply?
