Currently have a series of dependent drop lists using Tables and indirect formulas using the below formulas. It works perfectly but I would like to find a way to maintain a single table as per the below versus have to create multiple tables to ease with data modification such as, (1) new variant (e.g., EV), modify name (e.g., Sport i/o Performance) and/or want to add additional dependent drop-down lists (e.g., column for Color)?

Manufacturer=ManufacturerList (named table reference)
Style: =INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","_"))
Model: =INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(B1," ","_"))

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
