Hi,

I have a table that has list of questions and answers, the answers depend on county. What I need is to create a dynamic list where it can take the answer based on the country I choose, just like the table showing below:

The questions list is the same for all countries, but what I need if I change the cell "Country" which has drop-down list and choose specific country, the answers change based on question list. what is the best formula that can list the answers?

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
One way is to make a Named range for each of your countries. Easiest way to do that, given that layout, would be to select the B2:K15 range, go to the Formulas tab and in the Defined Names section, click on Create from Selection. Then select P5:P15, and enter this formula:

=INDIRECT(P3)

and confirm with Control+Shift+Enter. P3 has the name of your country.
