Excel - Data Validation with the INDIRECT Function - Excel Advanced

Показать описание
Data Validation is a great way to make certain only certain information gets entered into Excel. For example, you don't want a department column and someone typing Human Resources and later typing HR. Same for Countries. USA and U.S. are the same country, but with data analysis, they are different. You can do Data Validation with numbers and text. In this example, we are using a validation list. A drop-down arrow appears, and only the items listed can be selected. We will use the Indirect function with a table. The Indirect function allows records added to the table to be included in the drop-down list.

That is a useful trick that I have frequently used to produce dependent dropdown lists.

Hi! I need the help in excel. I have the data in excel. Column A and Column B. A1 = 1.5, a2=2, a3=2, a4=2.5, a5=3, a6=3. and comparing data in column b, b1=6203, b2=6203, c3=6204, c4=6205, c5=6205, c6=6206.
now I need the validation list formula. If I type in cell L184=1.5 then in the list 6203 may appear as it is on a1 and on b1. if cell L184=2 then in the list 6203 and 6204 seperately show as the reference data is on a2, a3 and on b2, b3. if cell L184=2.5 then in the validation list 6205 may show as it is related with cell a4 and b4. if cell L184=3 then in the validation list may show 6205 and 6206 seperately as it is related with cell a5, a6 and b5, b5. please give me the formula for validation list.
