I would like to apply a filter to column A based on user selection, either DIA, FLD, or CRT.
This will result in onlt the DIA records exposed.

What I would like to do, is create a list of unique values in column B based on the filtered data. This list will be used in a userform combobox for the user to select from.

Then, using a similar method, this selected value will be then chosen to filter column B. Based on the resulting filtered database, similar code will be used to isolate the unique values in column C, for yet again another combobox.

These pocedures are basically a form of validation, allowing users to only select available selections for relevant choices.

Is this logic appropriate? How would I go about doing this? I am a novice coder, and would welcome any support to accomplish this feat.
