Data Set:
Sheet1 (Table 'Alpha' on Sheet1!A1:B200)
-ColumnA: Employee_Name (sorted A-Z)
-ColumnB: Qualification_Code (01A, 01B, ..., 01Z) (Each employee has a single Code, but multiple employees have the same Code)

Sheet2 (Sheet2!A1:C100)
-ColumnA: Position_Title
-ColumnB: Position_Code (01A, 01B, ..., 01Z) (Each position has a single Code, but multiple positions can have the same Code)
-ColumnC: Qualified_Employee (where I want to put a drop-down list that only shows qualified employees based on the Position Code)​

Question:
How do I create a data validation list in Sheet2!ColumnC that will show a list of qualified employees based on the Position Code in Sheet2!ColumnB? Due to other functionalities, I have to leave Table 'Alpha' sorted as-is.
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Thank you for helping! Unfortunately, my work computer is pretty locked down and won't let me enable macros a downloaded .xlsm file. I'll test this at home and let you know if I have any questions.
