Learn how to create dependent dropdown data validation lists in Google Sheets and have different drop-down values based on the value of another cell. Basically the second drop down depends on the value of the first drop-down. Once we have the first drop down menu setup, we will create a dynamic dependent drop-down list that's based on the value of the first drop-down.

There are different ways you can get this done depending on how your data is setup. If you have a tabular data set you might need another function than if your data is organized across multiple columns. I show 2 different ways of creating the dependent dropdown list depending on your setup.

When i click data validation, there is a pop up appear from side screen, not a dialog box like yours, why is that?
@@fadly1896 This video was 3 years ago. Google has made several visual updates, and that included the side-bar/screen instead of a pop-up.
@@rmndvprz i see, thank you
Is there any way you can do that repeatedly? E.g. the data validation options would be from A1:A10 (category) and B1:B10 (subcategory)?
@@meganesguerra7540 came to know the same thing. it only works for 1 cell!
I have been looking for something like that for a couple of days now, There is so many overly complicated ways out there but yours is simple and to the point
Leila, you have a gift for clear explanations, thoughtful edits and on -screen presence. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for this! I'm currently making my expenses tracker for 2023, and this is EXACTLY what I was looking for to categorize my expenses.
That was incredible. This is exactly what I was looking for and it couldn’t have been explained any better. THANK YOU!
This will only work for one row. What if I want to add rows that will include the same function automatically without having to create new formulas, data prep columns, etc.?
Same issue with me
This is great. The explanation up front about the tabular format vs report format was key and missing from all the other videos I was trying to use. Your stuff is always great, thanks!
Leila, you have explained this so clearly. It has been really helpful. Really the best guide on RUclips. Thanks 😊
WOW, I was breaking my head trying to use IF statement to do this and it is so simple.
Thank you, really helped me now.
Oh my gosh your intro is gold. Really helpful tutorial :)
Glad you think so!
I love you. Sooo glad I found this channel at 4:47am. Thank you.
Welcome! You're up early 😴
Exactly what I was looking for! Excellent!
Very informative and easy to understand!
This video helped me SO much in a worksheet I'm creating. Thank you!
Thank you , short , intensive and informative
This is GOLD!! Helped me alot. Thanks.
THANK YOU LEILA...YOUR VID IS EXTREMELY HANDY!
Do you have any tips for creating this formula but when you need to repeat the same dependent data validation over and over? I'm trying to create a payroll sheet that basically calculates each specific job performed.
I believe this video will solve your problem:

Simple and already well known by your teaching through excel videos, but still not less interesting the way video is presented. That really matters and is important.
Well done.
So nice of you!
@@LeilaGharani do you know how to do it for the entire column? the video made it for 1 cell only and doesn't work for the rest of the column!
This is simply awesome. Saved a lot of my time. Thank you for the video.
you have made impressive and very helpful content on google sheets. Appreciate the videos
Thanks Leila. wonderful explation
Thank you. I did not want the second drop down, just one to fill the adjacent cell. I reworked your formula just a bit and it worked. Filter was what I needed not Vlookup what many others were showing, but didn’t work for me. Why it worked for them but not me, I don’t have a clue why. A lesson learned to watch your tutorials first. I still have to work out the #NA that is in the cell when nothing is chosen but will find a fix.
Thanks. Just what I needed.
Very helpful, thanks. In my version of Google Spreadsheets, I had to replace the "," between RANGE and CONDITION by ";".... Thanks for that support video!
So helpful. This was exactly what I needed. 5 stars!!!!
Nice video like always , your channel is my go to for any google sheet magic trip
This tutorial just saved a lot of waste of energy trying to experiment...Thanks a lot you're a LIFE SAVER ! +1 sub

Thx for keeping everything in one sheet in this tutorial😊
thank you so much for this info!
Thank you so much for this!
Thanks for that. Perfect explanation and so useful. So used to Excel that I find it hard with the small bit in Google Sheets!
Exactly what I needed you are a saviour!
UPD: I left the comment before watching the video, but as soon as you clarified that the data will be in the separate sheet, OMG just chefs kiss!
Glad it was helpful.
Great instructions on the different ways to create this!
Thanks Doug :)
Wow, your explanation is priceless! Thank you so much :))
You're very welcome!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Leila
You’re welcome 😊
This makes google sheets sooio much more interactive.
Amazing, solved my problem. Super simple and clear to follow.
do you know how to do it for the entire column? the video made it for 1 cell only and doesn't work for the rest of the column!
very helpful! it took me a while to figure it out but it worked!
Very nicely explained
Thank You So Much ,
Thanks a lot, I tried for this.
This is genius! Thank you! 🙏
Very clear and concise explanation. I really appreciate you putting this together.
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you dear leila, it was so helpful
Amazing thanks for your nice and neat tutorial. love it
How we apply this on entire column
same problem here :(
You nicely explained what i needed thank u so much.
Thanks Leila. I'm liking what I see in Google Sheets. I hope some of the innovations make it over to EXCEL. Thanks for sharing your tips :)) Thumbs up!!
I hope so too, Wayne!
A mind-blowingly simple explanation for something that has been a hurdle for me. THANK YOU.
You're very welcome!
Thank you very much Leila , that was very helpfull. :)
great video. helped me with something i was stuck on
Great, extremly like this
very nice and clear explanation . Great work🎉.... keep it up. Love from India❤
I suck at spreadsheets. Every time I create one it is as if I'm using the program for the first time. After his video I accomplished at task in Sheets that I had never successfully applied before. Leila is brilliant, concise and beautiful. A combination that kept me focused on the task at hand resulting in exactly what I had been attempting for far too long
haha not sure the "beautiful" remark was necessary, but you got a heart!
It's a great video! Just want to know whether i can do multiple rows with the same data validation or not
Finally found a good video for this
Tem meu Jóia!!!
I just loving you now. really what I needed
Thank you so much
Thank you so much!
It's really awesome 😉🙏🙏
Leila... You are the freaking best
This is awesome quality material. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That is awesome!!!
Thanks so much.
You are so welcome!
Thanks a lot for the tip. I did it long time ago using javascript code in gcode, but this method seems more readable.
Great to hear, Félix!
That's exactly what I needed and w/o a bunch of complex lookup tables. Thanks!!
do you know how to do it for the entire column? the video made it for 1 cell only and doesn't work for the rest of the column!
@@egymade I don't think I'm following your question. This video showed how to insert a dropdown into a single cell that referenced a column of data. What are you trying to do in the entire column?
@@matthewmorrisson1806 thanks for reply, appreciated!
I wanna create 2 full columns not just 1 cell. The 1st column is a drop down menu which is easy to do.. The 2nd is the dependent menu on the 1st column.. So whenever I choose any cell of the 1st column the corresponding cell changes in the 2nd.
Thank you Leila. Glad I found the video. My unique use case is that I would love for the list to go across cells and be unique to each cell. For Instance, lets say I want two dropdown lists in Column A (State) and Column B (County) and for each state I select from the dropdown in Column A, the list available in Column updates to contain only the counties of the state selected in Column A. And if I keep going down the state column to select a different state, the adjacent cell for Counties updates to contain only counties in the selected state in the adjacent cell.
I don't know if its possible, I have tried everything, even chatGPT
Great job Leila!
Thanks Chris!
Thank You!!!
LOVED THAT
thank you!
Helped alot! :)
Thank you
It is always pleasant to watch Your videos.....Thanks -- From Pakistan
I'm glad to hear that :)
excellent, you have earned a subscribition and a comment
Another useful video from the google sheet goddess
Glad you think so, Mark 😁
Very useful and interesting.
Glad you liked it, Raj!
Thanks a lot sister for your hep.
thank you
thanks a lot!
The formula works and I am thrilled how you simplified the tutorial! I wonder, how can I replicate the single cell example into multiple dropdowns?
This is a great video. Thank you so much for sharing. How do you add options to the dependent list?
Hi Leila, I saw your video on Creating Dropdown lists in google sheets. In your video, you have shown the drop-down lists created in just two cells side by side, for example, A2 and B2. What if you want to create a series of drop-down lists across the entire column downwards. I'm trying to create an Operator Efficiency Monitoring Sheet, wherein, we have a Part Name and the drop-down dependent list I want to create is the List of Operations, that goes into making that particular Part. I have a multiple list of parts and on a daily basis, different parts are produced. So I want a matrix form of a sheet wherein every day, you select a different Part Name and its corresponding drop-down list opens. How will the Prep column behave in this case.
ruclips.net/video/ku17vgq4Q14/видео.html&ab_channel=LeilaGharani
exactly my question too
Leila explains this in the next video. Using transpose to make the list go horizontally across columns, then use this range as the source of the dropdown. It definitely works!
I like this Video its very simple thank you
You are welcome 😊
This was extremely helpful. I would love to know how I can take this a step further and have the second dropdown automatically populate additional data into a 3rd cell?
Hi Leila! thank you so much! Whats the link to the video where you explain how to expand the dependent list?
Thank You Mrs Leila for you great lesson, I have question, I need Like that list but not just for lists but one collumn or two in my table how I can doit it?
This saved my life
Happy to help :)
Excellent
Thanks for the helpful tutorial, can we add date also in this drop down i mean like manual date?
Thank you for this. Question - So my list have instructions in the cell next to it, they are located in a separate sheet tab. I want to make a drop down on a different sheet which I know how to do it but how do yo carry the instructions for that list? Is there a way? Thanks!
Hi Leila, this is so clear, thank you very much. Does this work with an "ImportRange" Function? I am trying to build templates which will be used with my data set held in another spreadsheet altogether.
Hi,
First, thank you for this tutorial, it is excellent and helped me get way further in making this possible than other tutorials.
However, I am still having trouble with making it happen on my reporting sheet. vs just on my masterdata sheet
You are terrific! I have just been learning google dox and find your videos invaluable. Thank you so much! I do have a question: What if you only have 1 cell in the 2nd drop down list relating to 2 or 3 cells in your original drop down list? There isn't a 'range' in this scenario and I can't seem to get the =filter working. Any suggestions?
Leila, your video is great! Need some help - Whenever I am copy pasting the rows the data validation does not catch the filter formulas. Can you suggest me a way out.
