Heads up, if your data is in a format where you want to filter column B by column A you can use Unique(Filter()). The formula to make B dependent on what was selected in column A is Unique(Filter(A:B,A=[drop down cell for column A])). Create the drop down for column B based off the output of this function. This method can be extended across as many drop downs as you need. For column C, use Unique(Filter(B:C,C=[drop down cell from column B])). Create the drop down for column C based off the output of this function.
I was "way" over thinking the complexity of how to do this using validation tables, and didn't like the approach chatgpt recommended, nor another author who also had a very complex approach. Your approach has to be the simplest I've seen. So succinct and on point. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you for providing additional context as to how these ranges are setup and where to verify that they are correctly entered. I've set this functionality up before, but was blindly following steps without really understanding what Excel was doing - which made it impossible to debug when something stopped working correctly.
Thank you! I watched a number of videos on this subject but most were way too complicated. So glad to find your video with your clear explanation and simple approach to this valuable feature.
For this specific data i used the index function (which i learned from one of your videos recently) for the amount column, saved me the hassle of clicking the amount for each individual item. Great tutorial ! Thanks !
Hello Jamie, Thank you for your video. Very helpful. Do you have a video explaining how to do 5 levels of dependent drop-down lists using function tables? Best regards!
Is there a way of removing blank cells from the drop-down list? For example, when you select 'Bananas' it lists: Cavendish Lady Finger Plantain Gold Finger (Blank cell) (Blank cell)
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!!! if you are using MS 365 online version. IT DOES NOT WORK using multiple sheets. you must use the desktop software. This was my frustration for it not working. I used the online 365 subscription Cheers!
I did not understand this. Please can you explain further. I wanted to maintain the spaces between the words instead of removing the space or adding UNDERSCORE. Pls can you assist?
I’m working on something similar but a lot more data. I followed the videos steps and I am getting a “ The Source currently evaluates to an error. Do you wish to continue” message. Could it be because I’m pulling from 14 columns? I’m not understanding why this isn’t working.
I have followed your steps I believe exactly and when I go to type =indirect(A6) I get the following message . "The source currently evaluates to an error do you want to continue." Do you think you could tell me why this is?
Experienced the problem with spaces in names (should have watched the whole video first). Used United States and found when I names the range it named it United_States. Solved by renaming all cities/countries to include the underscore where appropriate. Looks a bit weird but works. I also created multiple drop-down lists using the OFFSET/MATCH formulas which doesn't use named ranges and so doesn't have this issue, although it's a bit more complicated to set up.
The easiest option i have found. Searchable is nice, getting rid of the blanks at the bottom of my lists would be nice...but neither is that big a deal. Simple to do= good!
Good Explanation. Thank you. I found that Excel can be broken into two or more views. IF you did that then you could put the info on a second sheet and show both at the same time further enhancing a student's ability to take your tutorial information and apply it in their real world. QUESTION: What about when you are inserting a Dependent Drop-Down List into an existing Table? Unfortunately, your destination wasn't a Table whereas your data sources were Tables, which was fine. But my real world Table of Client orders [3 Columns: 1) Client drop-down, 2) Type drop-down, 3) VLOOKUP dollar value], fails on the second column even though -F9 picks the correct list items. Nice solution for the last Part - picking single choices (quantities) - you could use V/H/XLOOKUP and then the single choice would be automagically inserted into your 3rd column.
You're welcome, I was going to do another video on XLOOKUP, I like that method more but thought this would be a good starting point for an easy solution.
Excellent video, thank you! How would I make this work if my source data (the list of fruits) is on a different tab? In my case, the dependent cells show a drop down list but it doesn't expand when you click on it. When I put everything on the same tab it works, but I really need the drop down lists on a different tab.
Help please!!! I continue to get “the source currently evaluates to an error. Do you want to continue?” And if I continue, nothing is available to drop down. Help please
I need to do this with multiple words in the drop down choices. How can I do that? For instance; apples and oranges as one option for the single drop down, pears and plums for another. Thank you
Thank you for this, but I think I'll check out your videos that provide other ways to do a dependent drop down. The issue is that I have to have spaces in the names.
I found this formula elsewhere because I had the same problem: =INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","_")). The range names on mine default to replacing spaces with underscores, so you may want to verify that that's the case with yours.
How does one go about leaving the spaces in without changing the naming? If possible I don't want to omit spaces nor do I want to use any characters such as underscore (_). Some of this data will be visible to customers and this makes it look somewhat messy for them. Presentation is everything.
Hi great video, I'm a window cleaner and was wondering, if instead of fruit I had addresses in column A and in column B I had payment methods Ie : cash, cheque, card, Bank Transfer and in column C is price, but column B is all mixed up, is it possible to extract, say, all cheque from B and add the total amounts of cheque and then extract bank transfer and add the total amount of Bank transfer and so on. I hope this makes sense
Thank you very much for your video, it is beneficial. However, I have a question: What if I want the column of Amount, value to be assigned automatically instead of having a drop list, how do I do it? For example: in the fruit, I select (Apple), then I choose Fuji in the column (Type) and then in the column (Amount), I want the value 67 to appear automatically! How can we do that?
I'm using Excel 365 and I have my drop down styles in Col A. Headers are row 1 and the drop downs start in A2. In B2 I'm attempting to have a drop down of colors. I have done the data validation, list and entered =indirect(A2) in the Source. I should be getting the list of colors for the style in Col A, but instead I'm getting this message when I click OK in the data validation window - The source currently evaluates to an error. Can someone tell me what I might possibly be doing wrong. I have reviewed the video numerous times and can't see the problem. THANKS!
This is a great video.. Thank you for your effort and sharing this. Super helpful. However I am experiencing a small issue while doing this.. I selected "Apple" in 1st drop down and "Fuji" in 2nd dropdown. When I change the 1st Dropdown to "Banana" then "Fuji" remains same in 2nd dropdown until I change it manually.. is it something I am doing incorrectly or is there any solution to this.
Thank you for this tutorial but I could not get the "Apples" pulldown menu to work properly. It listed all the other three columns of Bananas, Oranges, and Lemons but the pull down did not include "Fuji/Honeycrisp, etc." Also, instead of having to "correct" cells in a table can you instead use an underscore (Lady_Finger, Granny_Smith, etc.)? How can that pull down bug get fixed?
Doesn't seem to work on Excel 365 on the web, maybe I'm missing something - can't use it for what I wanted to, but will test it out at work at least, I'm sure I can find some use for this there. Thank you.
If you select a fruit and then a type from the lists....when you change the fruit from drop down list the type shown before for the previous fruit remains and has to be deleted otherwise creates confusions ....as happened at 0:33 when you changed APPLE to ORANGES but the type remained JONAGOLD until you selected the type of oranges
I have a question... My columns are dynamic, meaning that they could increase in the future. I would like to have all the column headers populated into a dropdown. Selecting a value from the dropdown, I want the rows in that column to be displayed in the adjacent cell. In simpler terms, let's say we have a sheet called Positions, that has columns: Position1, Position2, Position3,... They have rows such as Skill1, Skill2, Skill3, ... There is no limit to the Positions or the Skills, meaning, the table can increase bidirectionally. A1 has a dropdown to pick a Position. All the skills (rows) underneath this Position should be populated in B1:B. A3 has a 2nd dropdown to pick the 2nd Position. All the skills (rows) underneath the 2nd Position should be populated in B3:B. A8 has a 3rd dropdown to pick the 3rd Position, and so on... Dropdowns in column "A" can occur sporadic. With reference to this video, When we select "🍌" in A6, I want the Type to display all the types of Banana from B7 through B10; and not in a dropdown list. Have you come across this situation and know the solution to it? Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Is there a way the you can force the dependents to update one the the main has been selected. Example, if you change Apple to Bananas, type will go to the first one on the list and the number gets updated at same time
Hi, I would like to ask, how can I solve a task, where the third level is dependent on the first level. Lets say, I selected apples, but in the third collumn I want to select the reseller (Apple = Apple Company; Bananas = Banana Company, ....). In your example, the third collumn was dependent on the second collumn. But I want a drop down list in the third collumn which is dependend on the first collumn (and have nothing with second collumn). Thank you
I want to create dependent drop down lists for item type, manufacturer, model #s. My list would have 58 item types, 2-20 mfg's, and 2-20 model #s. Can this be done?
How can I include a "Select all" option in a drop down list?, because once an option is selected I can't look all the options again. PS. Great tutorials!!!
Hey, i'm trying to do a dropdown list for prices. But I wanted it to be listed with names; for example, If I choose "Banana" from the list, it places "$ 3,60". Is that Possible?
An easy solution to the space problem is to have a 'helper' cell in between Fruit and Type, where a SUBSTITUTE formula replaces " " with "_" = =SUBSTITUTE(A6, " ", "_") The INDIRECT should then reference the helper cell rather than the Fruit cell
How can I create multilevel numbering in Excel? Like how in word it allows you to have 1. 1.1. 1.1.1. I’ve been trying to figure out how to write a macro for this for months.
The Formulas thing does not work for me. When I select the entire table, by defaul 'Top Row' and 'Left column' both are selected. Even if I uncheck the latter and click 'OK', when I check the 'Create from Selection' again, both 'Top Row' and 'Left Column' are selected. Can someone help? I am using only one main and one dependent list, and both my lists are phrases - so multiple words.
Im really trying to figure this out: i want to make it so i can choose a value such as the name of a worker and then the neighbouring column will come up with a group containing that value, such as the team the worker is in. I may not know which team the worker is in when using the sheet, so i want this to auto populate from a known list of all employees. Can someone help me? Aka this in reverse? Where i want the final part of the list to auto update the first part?
Thank you this was very helpful. So what if we have multiple sheets(countries) with the different fruit table because the available fruits in that particular country is not available in the other. Therefore the fruit table keeps changing with different sheets. So, 1: we select a country from the dropdown, 2: we select the fruit from the dropdown list, and last 3: we select the types according to selection `2`. Sorry for the lengthy question, I dont know the specific terms to explain but please if you have a solution for this I would be very grateful. _/\_
Instead of no spaces in Granny Smith could it be Granny_Smith? with the underscore? I have a sentence on my table with several words to choose from. Surely I don't have to write that sentence with no spaces. Need Help.
What if you have only one type of bananas, for example? I'd like it to go ahead and just fill in the single available option instead of having the user pick an options from a drop down list with only one option.
Does anyone else encounter this problem? Using the data points in the video as an example: I have a long list of fruits and under each a very long list of types. Everything goes smoothly when I input the data validation --> list (using the fruits as seen in the video). All fruits are in the drop-down menu as should. However, when I try to use the data validation ---> indirect in the cells next to the Fruit drop-down some of the Fruit types are not visible. For example, Apple shows all types as does Banana, but then Orange don’t. Any reason why?
