Forgive me I have been doing my research on this and I am just not grasping if there is a way to do what I want with so many different variables. I have tried =INDIRECT but I run into an issue with the names. For example B1:B27 is my Door Styles. I made a list of them and named them DoorStyles, and then put them across the top as reference. From there I labeled D2:D4 as LandenWoods because they are the woods for Landen Door style. The next long list that starts Antique and ends Standard is the Color and I named it LandenColors, they are the colors Landen is available in. Then finally at bottom there is 5-Piece and Slab, I named them LandenDetails. Ok so when I start making what I want it looks like this:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]

I need drop downs for each space under those headers. I run into error issues because of the fact there is multiple colors that can use the same type of wood but not the same doorstyle. I know this is asking a lot but can anyone please help. I am using excel 2010, thanks in advance.
