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)

Boulakgnobot Changed the names for the list ranges so that you can use =INDIRECT(J2) in cell J3. See attached.
Saw in your file that you have some more questions but I didn't understand your intention there. Please clarify.
- BoulakgnobotBrass ContributorThanks 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 ???- Riny_van_EekelenPlatinum Contributor
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?
