    This video was the closest I came to getting it right! I got as far as entering the 1st dependent list..but it would not work for all the other cells! Thank you. It was a great video.

      Check to ensure that your cell reference is not fixed. The cell reference in the INDIRECT function should not have $ anywhere

    That is simpler than the one I was always doing. I usually went for OFFSET and MATCH combo for the second list. I didn't need to create table for each list separately, but this formula is much cleaner. Always good to learn something new :)

      @@forhadleobd Sure. You just put all the values a little bit like in the video, so that you have headers in the first row of a sheet (in this example "Income" and "Expense") and corresponding values below it (So column A1 would be "Income", A2 - "Salary" etc. B1 - "Expense", B2 - "Rent" etc.). Then let's say you put your selector (as in "Income" or "Expense" that would determine which list to choose from) in G2 as it is in the video. Then the formula is =OFFSET($A:$A;0;MATCH(G2;$1:$1;0)).
      The formula in the video looks much better and it is easier to see what is going on if you for exaple look at this file after a while and try to remember how it works, but the version I wrote doesn't require you to create a separate table and name it every time, and is faster for very large data sets.
      In conclusion, if you want something for your home usage or for managing small amounts of data you should probably use the formula from the video. On the other hand if you are managing big database with loads of options, then probably my formula would perform better.
      If you have any questions, I would be glad to answer :)

    Good tutorial! I realize that my comment exceeds the primary scope of this tutorial, but I do have to ask. When changing from “Expense” to “Income”, (at 00:19) the “Category“ field didn’t warn of the mis-match of data. Is there a method to “trap” an error such as this?

    Thank You very much for what seems to be by far the easiest way to do this, as well as the cleanest one, as everyone else seems to like the idea of having the variables on the same sheet, I like the way you did it.
    One followup question though:
    Can I input some sort of sum formula which helps me with getting specific sums, that is - how much was side hustle in a specific month?
    Thanks a bunch for the video.

    • @JopaExcel
      @JopaExcel  Год назад +1

      I'm glad it was useful for you. 🙏👍
      About the sum formula with a criteria, you can use SUMIF for one criterion or SUMIFS for more than one criterion.
      I have two practical videos that can help you:
      SUMIF ruclips.net/video/KUBTVv0m3K8/видео.html
      SUMIFS ruclips.net/video/7mnv35sEmRA/видео.html

      If you delete the spreadsheet which contains the options used in the list, the list will no longer works. However, if you don't want to use multiple sheets to place your lists, you can insert the options into the list itself manually.
      So, you go to data, list, and source will be like: Option 1,Option 2,Option 3,Option 4...
      It is very important not to forget to use the comma to separate each option.
