To create conditional lists, complete the following procedures. Similarly, when you select a city in Column C, only the street names of that city will be displayed in column D. If you select Germany, only German cities will be displayed in the drop-down list in Column C. If you select Netherlands in the drop-down list in column B, only Dutch cities will be displayed in the drop-down list in Column C. In this example we’ll create the following table:Ĭolumns B, C, and D contain drop-down lists. By using the INDIRECT function, you can then create additional drop-down lists that are conditional to the first drop-down list.
In Excel 2007 (and earlier), it’s possible to create a drop-down list.
