Hi guys,
I am trying to use INDIRECT with dependant drop downs.
I have one worksheet, column R is drop down with two choices (Customer, Courier), Column S should display a drop down of choices varying - depending on the choice made in Column R.
So I created dependent drop downs: in another tab I created two lists Customer with its choices and Courier with its choices. Customer and Courier became names for the name ranges. Then I created a data validation drop down with the ranges Customer and Courier in column R.
So far so good. I created then formula: =INDIRECT(R200;TRUE) - where R200 is the cell number where the data validation drop down [Customer, Courier) begins. Then in columns S I created another data validation using the range that covers all the options resulting from the INDIRECT formula. Until now EVERYTHING works fine. When I choose from dropdown in column R, then in column S I have the right set of choices. But it doesn't work if I want to use it in the next cells down the columns... If I copy the data validation down, the INDIRECT referencing doesn't work, because the list of options is stored only in one range of cells, meaning it always reads only for R200 cell (starting point). How can I make it work in all cells under the R200?
