I would like to create a dropdown list with elements that are based on the value of another cell (note that I do know how to create dropdown lists).
For example:
A1 is the master cell, A2 holds the dropdown list and selected value
A1 = 1, A2 list: Apples, Oranges, Lemons, Pears
A1 = 2, A2 list: IPA, Pilsner, Stout, Lager
A1 = 3, A2 list: Cotton, Wool, Nylon, Polyester
etc.
I am not proficient with VBA, so I'm hoping there's a way to do this using formulas. I did find this helpful article http://excelsemipro.com/2011/05/a-dynamic-dependent-drop-down-list-in-excel/, which I was able to mimic. But I've not figured out how to modify this process to use the master cell instead of the defined name category.
Any help appreciated!
