Hi All
I have a list of Activity IDs and linked Action IDs as per below. The Action ID is calculated based on the Activity ID
Based on the IDs above, I have another sheet where the user can select the Activity Number in a data validation dropdown list - e.g. ACT000001 and then can select the linked Action Number in the next column. Is there a way of shrinking the drop-down list in the action number column to only present the user with the possible Action Numbers linked with that Activity ID, so the data validation list in the second column is dependent on what the user enters in the first column? e.g.
If the user selects ACT00001 from the drop down list, then the next dropdown list only gives them the choice of ACT000001a or ACT000001b
