Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Sort by date Sort by votes
Hi,

One of the way to have dependant dropdowns is to have lists for each item and name them (formula tab, define name) with the item name. So yo have an oil list with the 3 oils that you name oil. Now if the item name is in g2, you make a drodown list and in source you type
Code: 
=indirect(g2)

Personnally I always make my lists in tables (insert tab, table), name the content of the table oil, and then if I add an oil later to the list, it will automatically extend and it will automatically be available in te dropdown.

Now if you have fuels in g2 and a list called fuels somewhere in te workbook, your list will show fuels list
