Excellent tutorial. 17 minutes in and with that Offset and Counta formula I was extremely confused for some reason, but I finally managed to recreate what you did. Thank you so much for this. Pure gold. People actually pay good cash to learn such stuff. Instant sub.
I am really grateful for the introduction of dynamic dependant drop down list. I have been confused by the problem for more than two years and now I find the answer.
Thank you!!! I was looking for Searchable Drop Down List and you gave me heaven!! You have no idea how much this is going to make my hard daily work much more enjoyable! I’ll never forget you and your skills shared!!!!!
Danke Marco für dieses unglaublich hilfreiche Tutorial. Das wird meine inzwischen sehr kompliziert gewordenen Excel-Setups erheblich vereinfachen. Vielen Dank!
My name is Joel and I’ll start off by saying thank you for all of your help this far. I’ve watched your video tutorials, but I had questions and needed help. I hope this catches your interest and you can help me. I know that everyone is busy with their own stuff and if you can’t help me I understand.
So I’ll start off by describing what I would like to do, much like what you did in some of your tutorials except I don’t know how to apply it to my workbook. I have a main page that needs to pull data from different sheets, 220 or so. The way it works is as follows; you select your SPEC from the data validation cell, after that the CATEGORY within that SPEC, then your CHOICES should show. I’ve gotten this to work up to the category part. I am stuck on making the “CHOICES Data Validation” part, how to make the choices show since they are in different sheets.
That’s my most important part I need to figure out. I’ve only populated the first 46 sheets as I didn’t know if this format will even work. My second problem is that is that I have been extracting the data from other workbooks by creating a formula in each and every single one then copying and pasting it in their designated spec sheet. Which by the way takes for ever as I have only done 46 of 220 of them. There’s got to be an easier way to do this if not I’ll just keep copying and pasting. I am an excel beginner.
I would greatly appreciate your help on this and again thanks for all of help this far your tutorials are amazing.
I was always Shit when it come to school and learning, I'm rather dumb and just cant be bothered with school again, but thanks to your videos I am able to still get good jobs for the skills i picked up from you, I really thank you a lot!!
Excellent tutorial. An enhancment for users would be to add an entry in a dropdown which is actually not included in the data-tables. The system should ask whether to add the new entry or cancel. Would be hapy to get a feedback from anyone that has a solution for above issue.
Excellent tutorial even 3 years later. The one addition I would have liked to see is error correction for the dependent drop down section. If Regions and Country are currently selected and the Region is changed, the Country remains the previous selection. This results in a selected Country not matching the Region. Needs to have something like an OnChange set to "" on that Countries cell.
Could you please make an addition tutorial on how to achieve multiple searchable drop down in many rows without VBA? Currently our office still use Excel 2016...
Yes... Thank you for your free tutorial but would have been good if you would have mentioned that Searchable Lookup can only be done on one row. (in other words lookup on 2nd row would require a whole new lookup construct)
43:42 You don't need to modify the Name Manager's names since Dinamic Tables will update the range everytime when you add new data. Other than that really great video on how to Master the Drop Down feature. Keep it going!
UNIQUE function first mentioned at 35:26 isn't available in 2019 or earlier, only Office 365. Maybe should have mentioned this at the beginning of video.
First time I follow such a well explained tutorial on Excel. I appreciate the fact you're showing different ways of doing the same thing and that you keep adding to it, really understanding each feature. However, I have an issue with the dynamic dropdown list (using offset or not). You're saying at 5:30 that if you rename an item in the "list" it gets updated on the first "sheet". This is only half-true because if you've already selected an item for your sheet, ket's say in your example projet A has "Purchasing" selected, and you modify the name in the list to "Purchase", then your sheet won't show the update... It will get stuck to Purchasing on projet A because it was already selected. In my case, this is what's happening, so it's pretty annoying as there is only a link to the cell but not it's content, so I have to make sure my list never changes in terms of terminology. Any idea please? Thx for your help
Good Stuff! 🙂 My only concern is that the coloring using "Conditional Formatting" on by the "Team Members" list and the "Assigned To" list don't seem to be connected; therefore, they could be out of synch. I suppose you could use VBA to remedy this (maybe -- need to think about it), otherwise I don't see the usefulness of have the color coding in both places Although I do like it on the "Task Assignment" list... Thoughts?

I am using the same VLOOKUP fun in sheet1 by fixing one lookup dropdown value and accessing sheet2 table values =VLOOKUP($B$1,Table1[#All],8,FALSE) this is what I am using but giving #N/A error. I want to change the data by changing lookup value from dropdown list. please help with this as early as possible, is there any direct contact mail id where I can share my file and show you the problem??
This is a great tutorial! 15'07: referring to Table name under quotation marks does not work for me...are there are specific parameters to set up in Excel for this to work? Using D365 Office.
Hi, thank you very much for this information, this is great Regarding Searchable Dropdown, it is only possible for a single cell? is it possible to add a dropdown to the number of cells in a column? hope you could help
Thanks for this informative video on the Filter Function but I've been struggling for weeks trying to implement it in my example. I have multiple dependent drop down lists and the list data is in a separate sheet, how to I then reference the second dependent drop down if the drop down is in another sheet and multiple rows? Do I reference it when I create a unique list in the filter function or do I do it in the validation? Any help would be much appreciated folks as it has been driving me crazy for weeks now hehehe
Sir, if we delete some task from list(Column B), than drop down will remain in the cells(Column C). Is this possible to remove drop down settings also for Column C
Hi, there was a video of manager the task where you can put a start date and a end date and the conditions format show the line in color. Do you remove it, becouse I didn't find it!
How to create a dependent drop down list from two different workbook? i.e. the drop down information (data) is saved in a different workbook and dependent drop-down list to be created in a separate workbook.
I have a range of cells which needed to be validated for Searchable Dropdown Lists instead of a single cell. Can you please share modified version of the formula. ?
I am also looking for a similar situation instead of one single cell. A typical and comun scenario of data entry with a lot of records. Please share the solution. Thank u
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! is it possible to do everything in this video but tweak it???? I need it to only pick a name on the list, currently the user can type in any name in the cell and it will accept it. i am looking for a way to still sort (as seen in the video) but make it pick from the list with zero exceptions. tried turning on the data validation error back on but then the sort doesn't work. PLEASE HELP
Hi Kevin, what if someone will not select from drop down option and mention incorrect name, meaning instead of selecting from drop down option for Oat, person mention Ota text and save the file. How we can restrict a person to select the name from the list or incorrect name is not allowed?
2 simple questions :- 1. How to change the size of drop down list button? It looks weird if I increase the row height or increase the font size. 2. How to make the cell drop down liist button always visible even the cell is not on focus by cell pointer?
How do I create a sheet with multiple dependent columns? I have 4 columns: Column A trickles down to Column B, Column B then trickles down to Column C, and lastly Column C trickles down to Column D. Each Column can contain duplicate values or unique ones. I need to be able to have the pick lists filter down to the relevant choices based on the previous selection
How do you get to change or increase the font size of the drop down options text. They can be too small to read. The least is that they should share the default font size.
Great video 👍. Have a doubt.. what if we have to use the searchable drop down list in every row as a part of a table ? Do we need to put a helper column to filter the search?
I love these videos! After a tutorial you did I made a sheet that tracks all sorts of Instagram Statistics. My question is, is it possible or do you have a tutorial about fetching data from a website and implementing it into the Excel sheet? For instance how many followers you have or the amount of posts you got on said website.
Hello sir, It's awesome too... in the searchable drop down, if I want to search with 1st letter then 2nd, 3rd so on of the name, then what to do?? example: name list as Tina Jack Leila Jay Adrija now as u can see the Jack and Jay both are starting with "Ja" but the Adrija name is having "Ja " at the end. in this case, if I type only "Ja"... then the list should search only alphabetically and should show those 2 names, Jack and Jay... not Adrija... Is it possible sir?? I am using older version
Hey... it looks like he gave the answer to a similar query from Daddy Sage. ('Partial Left Match' for the FILTER function in another video of his... I believe that function is only found in a Office 365 subscription.)

Same
It's also possible to make the Named Ranges dynamic with the =OFFSET(Sheet1!$F4,1,,COUNTA(Sheet1!F:F)-1), use this method for many years with succes.
Your vdo really blows my mind. Wow, amazing how excel can do.
Dropdowns are very important. Thank you! Very Good Video. 🙏🚀🚀
Maaan.. You really made a great video here.. The searchable list was an issue for me.. Big Thanks
My pleasure 😊 Glad it was helpful.
This is life changing
43:42 You don't need to modify the Name Manager's names since Dinamic Tables will update the range everytime when you add new data.
Other than that really great video on how to Master the Drop Down feature.
Keep it going!
Thank you for your feedback, Yeriel 😊
This tutorial is literally saving my life right now. I think I was on the verge of a panic attack trying to figure all this out.
dependent drop downs, worked for some of mine, and some it didn't. Can't really figure out why -.-
excellent video , learnt a lot
Excellent tutorial, thanks
Thank you for the master class. Just kindly put time stamps for each skill covered. Thanx
Thats awesome!. Really appreciate the knowledge you shared. Keep going👍
Thanks for positive feedback, Asif!
Also, we can generate dynamic drop down list with using name manager, which consists of table name because table name is not working in list section.
Marvellous, time saving formulas
Thanks for your positive feedback, Jamil!
Thank you very much. A quick feedback. Timestamps would be super helpful to jump to certain chapters.
Great tutorial
Thank you brother
Brilliant - thanks!
Thank you for your positive feedback 😊 Appreciate it.
UNIQUE function first mentioned at 35:26 isn't available in 2019 or earlier, only Office 365. Maybe should have mentioned this at the beginning of video.
This has helped my job a lot thank you
Thanks!
Another great video...
Thank you, Kevin 😊
