Hello My Masters & Colleagues, I have 3 columns of data in sheet2 (A) for Branches (B) for Departments and (C) for Names A2:c5000 like the table below the 3 lists are related and has some duplicates and blanks. And I have 3 Columns lets say J,K,L in sheet1 I want to J2:J each cell is validation drop down list from sheet2 (A) without Dup. and blanks, then depending to your choice it's create the validation list from sheet2 (B), then depending to your choice it's create the last validation list from sheet2 (C). any one have a solution for this deadlock, kindly avoid array formulas it's take too much time because the size of data

For example:

[TABLE="class: cms_table, width: 380"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Branch[/TD]
[TD]Dept.[/TD]
[TD]Name[/TD]

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)



Thank you bro. for your kind support and quick reply, unfortunately the code has some issues the validation lists not changed when I change in the data in the sheet2 and when I change the sample data by my basic big data an error stop the code as shown in the attached Pic. I tried some changes in the code lines as much as my knowledge but unfortunately no avail.
