Dynamic drop down lists

How do I create a dynamic drop down list, so that the selection made from the first drop down list will limit the choices in a second list?
Thanks

RE: Dynamic drop down lists

Hi Malcolm, thanks for your query. What you are trying to create is a dependent drop down using data validation. There are some good walkthroughs here:

Hope this helps,

Excel tip:

Use Paint Brush to Format More than one Cell

To copy a format to many cells or ranges

1. Select the cell with the format that you want to copy

2. Double-click on the paint brush

When you move to the cell where you want to paste the format you will notice that a paint brush follows the cursor.

Paste the format to all the cells or ranges you need to format.

When finished go back to the paint brush on the tool bar and single click on it to deactivate the function.
