Auto updating of dependent data validation lists

[crazybumpbaby]

So I have a query regarding automatic updating of dependent data validation lists. I feel like this is the sort of thing many have asked before...

The following is inserted into the data validation list dialogue box to provide a drop down menu that varies according the value of Cell D7.

=INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(D7,chartlist,11,FALSE))

The VLOOKUP function provides a string as a NAMED RANGE and the data validation menu changes correctly, but one has to pull down the menu and select a value that corresponds to the new range. The problem is that the old value from the previous data validation list remains in the list cell after Cell D7 is changed.

Am guessing a macro is required here to update the list?

If I have missed a previous post on the same matter, apologies. Perhaps you could direct me to it. Many thanks in advance, Simon.

It will stay the same until you select something from the drop-down.

Try this in the sheet module Where D7 is your list selector value and E7 contains the validation list

Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Address = "$D$7" Then Range("E7") = ""
End Sub

Thanks a lot, that sorts it.
