cascading combo boxes...???

[Gurps]

is there any way in which I can get the selection from one combo box to influence the second?? In other words, The second combo box is dependant on the first.
I am using Excel XP.

any help would be appreciated.
cheers

I am referring to the example given by Aladin Akyurek in the beginning of this thread

Cascading data validation

WOW, This is much easier than the nested formulas I have been using!



I found this post on my search for the following: I have xl 2000 and when I protect the cells with the list validation anyone with xl 2000 can use the drop down to change the value of the cell, anyone with xl 2003 gets an error that the cell is protected and read only. I have access to xl 2003 on another computer if someone could tell me the fix I need to do to the spreadsheet.
I have tried to send this out into the world with out protection but alas people alway cut, copy, paste, and lose the validation.



Thanks

that works but what if I need drop down list that stretch 20 rows down? In other words I need multiple drop downs with the same validation. Am I making sense

Maybe it's just me, but I have a hard time following 6 pages of thread so I was wondering if anybody has sort of generic file they could post somewhere? One that brings it all together. This topic is fascinating to me!

Is it possible to put 2 possible dropdown in a sheet.

Map3
	A	B	C	D	E	F
1
2			Code	Name	Institute
3			c_1	a	std
4			c_2	b	log
5			c_3	c	rij
6			c_4	d	std
7
8
9		Code		Name		Institute
10		c_2		b		log
11
12
13
14
Blad1

For example

I have the following data C2:E6.
If i make a dropdown menu in B10 it's possible to fill in D10 and F10, with VLOOKUP (vert.zoeken = VLOOKUP).
But what if i want choose to select a Code (B10) or a Name (D10).

So when i make a second dropdown menu in D10 that B en F are filled in.
Is this possible?

to my sense you would better start a thread for your specific problem
tell what you did and what didn't work ...

kind regards,
