HELP_DEPENDENT DROP-DOWN LISTS

Hi everyone !

 

Here is my dependent drop-down lists PROBLEM:

- I have 4 LEVELS (3e, 4e, 5e, 6e) in DATA VALIDATION

- Each LEVEL has 6 CLASSES (A, B, C, D, E, F) example: 3eA, 3eB, 3eC, 3eD, 3eE, 3eF)

So 24 CLASSES

 

I want once I select a LEVEL in (J2) from its drop-down lists I can also choose its CLASSES in (J3)

Example: for (J3) DATA VALIDATION be =(IF (J2)= "Class_3e") so (J3) = 3eA;3eB;3eC;3eD;3eE;3eF

               for (J3) DATA VALIDATION be =(IF (J2)= "Class_4e") so (J3) = 4eA;4eB;4eC;4eD;4eE;4eF

               for (J3) DATA VALIDATION be =(IF (J2)= "Class_5e") so (J3) = 5eA;5eB;5eC;5eD;5eE;5eF

               for (J3) DATA VALIDATION be =(IF (J2)= "Class_6e") so (J3) = 6eA;6eB;6eC;6eD;6eE;6eF

So that Each (J3) choosen CLASS fills "CLASS LIST" table (with yellow color)

      Thanks for your help ! It's EXACTLY what I WANTED for the first point !

      I'm not an expert and I don't know how you named (J2) to make it changed through the column

      3eA 4eA 5eA
      3eB 4eB 5eB
      3eC 4eC 5eC

      Because I don't see anywhere the names for the list ranges (not in the NAME BOX and not in the NAME MANAGER)

      HOW do you do it so that I can redo it ???
      CAN you EXPLAIN this more ???

        Boulakgnobot Not sure where you are looking. I'm on a Mac right now but it's similar on a PC. 

        In the name box, I see this:

        and in the name manager I see this:

        Don't you see the same?
