I have multiple drop down list that are dependent on each other and depending on which answers you choose i would like other lists to be determined. I will try to explain structure below
**Position** **Fruit** **Location** **Thing**
1 Banana Mexico TV
2 Apple New York hat
3 Orange Tokyo pen
4 grape Canada bed
London box
Home
So for example a dependency is if you select 'Banana' from 'Fruit' you are only going to be able to select certain options from Location, and Thing list.
What i want to accomplish is something like this :
if you choose '1' from position; position => '1' your only options from fruit would be banana, apple.
Fruit => Banana, Apple.
if position = 1( fruit = banana, apple)
But if you choose '2' from position; position => '2' everything would be available from Fruit. But then if you choose '2' then Banana, only Canada from 'location' would be available from another cell.
If position:2 => fruit:banana => Location = Canada
If position: 2 => fruit:apple => Location can equal Mexico, New York, Tokyo
I have defined names in a data sheet, one problem i ran into is that defined names cannot start with numbers. and for some answers i absolutely need numbers.
I started writing a foruma but syntax and logic are not correct.
=VLOOKUP($c4,if ($c4 = "<1",VLOOKUP($c4,MasterList,2,FALSE), IF ($C4= "2"($c4,MasterList,3,FALSE).
c4 in this case would be the initial drop down question.
How can i make this possible?
