Can Macros be used to go through a lists in one worksheet (A) to change four dropdowns on another worksheet (B)?
Dropdowns 3 and 4 are dependent on number 2, and the number of rows on worksheet A can be over 100 at times.

New to VBA and coding and literally do not know if it can be done and where to start, any help or advice greatly appreciated.

Idea is to automate going row by row, calculate formulas for each and the results exported to another workbook. Already have macro that paste into destination workbook. Please let me know if you need any more info and thank you so much.
